Ingredients

  • 3/4 kilo of fish (commonly used are small to medium-sized fish like mackerel, catfish, or tilapia)

  • 1 cup water

  • 1 onion, sliced

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar (optional)

  • Cooking oil

Directions

  • Clean the fish thoroughly, removing scales, guts, and gills. Make a few diagonal cuts on both sides of the fish to allow the flavors to penetrate.

  • Cover the pan and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes or until the fish is cooked through and the flavors have melded together.
  • Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning according to your preference. You can add more vinegar for a tangier taste or more sugar for a sweeter flavor.
  • Serve the inun-unan hot with steamed rice.

Easy Ube Ice Cream Recipe

Ube ice cream is a sweet and creamy dessert originating in the Philippines. It is made with ube, a purple yam that is widely used in Filipino cuisine, giving the ice cream its distinct bright purple color. Ube ice cream is known for its unique flavor that is both sweet and nutty with a hint of vanilla.

To make ube ice cream, the ube is first boiled or steamed until it is soft and then mashed or pureed. The puree is then mixed with cream, milk, sugar, and sometimes egg yolks to create a rich and creamy base. The mixture is then chilled and churned in an ice cream maker until it reaches a smooth and creamy texture.

Ube ice cream is commonly served as a dessert after a meal or as a refreshing treat on a hot day. It is also often used as a topping for other desserts such as halo-halo, a popular Filipino shaved ice dessert. Ube ice cream has become increasingly popular in other countries and is now available in many ice cream shops and stores around the world.

Adobong Malabon

Adobong Malabon is also known as adobong puti (white adobo) due to the absence of soy sauce. Another name for this is adobo flakes.

Adobong Malabon is a recipe I found in The Best Of Food Magazine (A Cookbook of 180 Recipes For Filipino and International Dishes). The editor, Norma Chikiamco, got this recipe from her in-laws, who hail from Malabon. Unlike other adobo recipes, this does not use soy sauce. The resulting adobo flakes are perfect for eating with garlic-fried rice. Although you may serve this dish immediately after cooking, the favors intensify after being stored overnight in the refrigerator. It is therefore best served, reheated, a day after cooking.

Adobong Malabon is also known as adobong puti (white adobo) due to the absence of soy sauce. Another name for this is adobo flakes.

Beginner cooks can easily make this dish. Just follow the instructions!

The book where I got this recipe is old. It was published in 2001. Other newer Filipino Cookbooks may be found on Amazon.

Adobong Malabon is also known as adobong puti (white adobo) due to the absence of soy sauce. Another name for this is adobo flakes.

Ingredients

  • 1nkilo pork kasim or pigue, cut into large chunks*

  • 1 1/2 cups vinegar

  • 1/2 cup water

  • Coarse salt to taste

  • 1 head of garlic, crushed

  • 2 tablespoons cooking oil

Directions

  • Put the pork in a wok or large pan (use only non-aluminum to prevent a reaction with vinegar). Pour in vinegar and water (meat should be covered halfway).
  • Turn the heat to high. When the mixture boils, lower the heat to simmer. Do not stir the mixture to prevent a “raw” taste in the vinegar.
  • When the pork is slightly cooked, sprinkle salt and garlic all over the pork pieces. Cover and simmer until liquid is absorbed and pork is tender about 40 minutes. Remove pork from the wok.
  • Add oil to the wok and heat for about 1 minute. Stir-fry pork until it turns brown. With a wooden spoon, break apart pork chunks until they become flaky.

Notes

  • *You may use 1 Kilo of sliced chicken, or a combination of pork and chicken.
