Easy Sinamak (Spiced Vinegar) Recipe

Sinamak (Spiced Vinegar) is of Visayan origin. Made with chilis (commonly siling labuyo), langkawas, garlic, peppercorns, and white onion pickled for at least three days.

Langkawas (Alpinia galanga) is a plant in the ginger family that bears a rhizome used largely as an herb in medicine and as a spice in Arab cuisine and Southeast Asian cookery. It is one of four plants known as “galangal”. Its common names include greater galangal, lengkuas, and blue ginger. Since this is not very common, we will use lemongrass as a substitute.

Easy Nilasing Na Hipon Recipe

Nilasing na hipon (drunken shrimp), is a Filipino dish. It consists of whole unshelled shrimp marinated in alcohol and various spices. It is usually coated in batter, and then deep-fried. It is usually dipped in a vinegar-based sauce. The alcohol used is rice wine. Modern versions can use other types of alcohol, like gin, beer, or white wine.

The dish is anglicized as drunken shrimp or crispy fried drunken shrimp. It is not related to the Chinese dish of the same name which uses raw (usually live) or boiled shrimp and is not battered.

Easy Creamy Dalgona Coffee Recipe

What is Dalgona Coffee?

Dalgona coffee is a beverage made by whipping equal parts instant coffee powder, sugar, and hot water until it becomes creamy and then adding it to cold or hot milk. Occasionally, it is topped with coffee powder, cocoa, crumbled biscuits, or honey. It was popularized on social media during the COVID-19 pandemic, when people refraining from going out started making videos of whipping the coffee at home, by hand without using electrical mixers. The name is derived from dalgona, a Korean sugar candy, due to the resemblance in taste and appearance, though most dalgona coffee doesn’t actually contain dalgona.
