          Easy Daing Na Bangus Recipe

          This easy daing na bangus recipe is simply milkfish that has been marinated in vinegar with much garlic and then fried.

          What is Daing?

          Daing, Tuyô, or Bilad (literally “sun-dried” or “sun-baked”) refers to dried fish from the Philippines. Fish prepared as daing are usually split open (though they may be left whole), gutted, salted liberally, and then sun and air-dried. There are also “boneless” variants which fillets the fish before the drying process. It was originally a preservation technique, as salt inhibits the growth of bacteria, allowing fish to be stored for long periods of time.

          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daing

          Daing na Bangus is very easy to prepare. It is so tasty that even little children will love it. It is better to have the fish deboned when buying in the market as milkfish is notorious for being bonier than other food fish. In the frozen section of most supermarkets, there is deboned milkfish labeled as “boneless bangus”, which helps to make this recipe a lot easier to prepare.

            Classic Filipino Pandesal Recipe

            Classic Filipino Pandesal Recipe

            Here is the Classic Filipino Pandesal Recipe that most people are familiar with. Pandesal is a breakfast staple among Filipinos and by learning to make your own, there will be no need to go the bakery every morning.

            Pandesal or pan de sal (Filipino and Spanish for “salt bread”), is a common bread roll in the Philippines. It is made of flour, eggs, yeast, sugar and salt. Pan de sal is a popular yeast-raised bread in the Philippines. Individual loaves are shaped by rolling the dough into long logs (bastón, Spanish for “stick”) which are rolled in fine bread crumbs. These are then portioned, allowed to rise, and baked. It is most commonly served hot and may be eaten as is, or dipped in coffee, hot chocolate or milk. It can also be complemented with butter, margarine, cheese, jam, peanut butter, chocolate spread, or other fillings like eggs, sardines and meat. Its taste and texture closely resemble those of the Puerto Rican bread pan de agua, French baguette, and Mexican bolillos. Contrary to its name, pan de sal tastes slightly sweet rather than salty. Most bakeries bake pandesal in the morning for breakfast consumption, though some bake pandesal the whole day.

            Ingredients

            • 2 cups bread flour

            • 2 cups all-purpose flour

            • 1 tsp baking powder

            • 1 pouch rapid rise yeast

            • 1/2 cup white sugar

            • 5 tbsp melted butter

            • 1 1/4 cup fresh milk (lukewarm)

            • 1 cup bread crumbs

            • 1 tsp salt

            • 1 egg

            • 1 tbsp cooking oil

            Directions

            • In a bowl, combine the yeast, sugar, and milk. Stir until the yeast and sugar are fully dissolved. You can also use water instead of milk.
            • In the mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder then mix well.
            • Add the egg, butter, cooking oil, and yeast-sugar-milk mixture in the mixing bowl with the dry ingredients then mix again until dough is formed. You can use your hands to effectively mix the ingredients.
            • In a flat surface, knead the dough until the texture becomes fine.
            • Mould the dough and put back in the mixing bowl, cover with damp cloth and let the dough rise for at least 45 minutes to 1 hour.
            • After the dough has risen, transfer to a lightly floured flat working surface.
            • Roll into a log then cut into four to six equal pieces.
            • Take another portion of the dough, roll again into a log and cut into equal pieces, repeat this step until all the dough is done.
            • Roll each piece of dough in breadcrumbs then arrange on a baking tray for at least an inch apart (so it won’t stick together when it rises later on).
            • Leave the dough in the tray to rise again for 15 to 20 minutes.
            • Pre-heat the oven at 190°C (375°F) for 10 minutes. If using a fan assisted oven, reduce the heat according to the user’s manual.
            • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until nicely browned outside.
            • Enjoy with different “palaman” like Peanut Butter.

            Extra Creamy Carbonara Recipe

            Here is a very easy extra creamy carbonara recipe that you could prepare at home. Even a beginner cook can prepare this.

            Carbonara is a popular Italian pasta dish that Filipinos love. This pasta dish is a common alternative to Spaghetti.

            What is Carbonara?

            Carbonara is an Italian pasta dish from Rome made with egg, hard cheese, cured pork, and black pepper. The dish arrived at its modern form, with its current name, in the middle of the 20th century.
            The cheese is usually Pecorino Romano, Parmigiano-Reggiano, or a combination of the two. Spaghetti is the most common pasta, but fettuccine, rigatoni, linguine, or bucatini are also used. Normally guanciale or pancetta are used for the meat component, but lardons of smoked bacon are a common substitute outside Italy.

            https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonara

            The traditional Filipino carbonara includes these three main ingredients: fettuccine, ham, and milk. But in this recipe, we will make it extra creamy by adding cheese and cream.

            Easy Pinoy Leche Flan Recipe

            Leche Flan is a variation of Creme Caramel, a custard dessert with a layer of clear caramel sauce.

            Easy Pinoy Leche Flan Recipe

            Here is an easy leche flan recipe that you could make at home.

            Lechen Flan is a favorite Filipino dessert. It is almost always present in special occasions like town fiestas.

            What is Leche Flan?

            Leche Flan is a variation of Creme Caramel, a custard dessert with a layer of clear caramel sauce.

            In the Philippines, flan is known as leche flan (the local term for the originally Spanish flan de leche, literally “milk flan”), which is a heavier version of the Spanish dish, made with condensed milk and more egg yolks. Leche flan is usually steamed over an open flame or stove top in an oval-shaped tin mold known as llanera (also spelled lyanera), although rarely it can also be baked. Leche flan is a staple dessert in celebratory feasts.
            An even heavier version, called tocino de cielo or tocino del cielo (Spanish for “heaven’s bacon”), is similar, but has significantly more egg yolks and sugar.
            Leche flan is also commonly baked into pastries. The most common is the Filipino dessert flan cake or leche flan cake, a Filipino chiffon or sponge cake with a layer of leche flan on top. It can similarly be baked into steamed cupcakes known as puto mamón, a combination known as puto flan.

            Leche Flan is a variation of Creme Caramel, a custard dessert with a layer of clear caramel sauce.

            Ingredients

            • For the Flan:

            • 12 egg yolks, beaten

            • 1 can  evaporated milk (or whole milk), (354 mL)

            • 1 can condensed milk, (410 mL)

            • 1/2 cup sugar

            • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract

            • water (for steaming)

            • For the Caramel:

            • 3 tbsp water

            • 1 cup light brown sugar

            Directions

            • Prepare individual llanera (or two 9 x 2 in flan molds) and set aside.
            • Start by preparing the caramel. In a saucepan, bring the water to a boil then reduce low heat before adding the sugar.
            • Stir continuously for about 2 minutes or until the sugar caramelizes or turns amber.
            • Immediately pour the caramelized sugar into prepared individual flan molds. Evenly spread the caramel in the molds. Set the molds aside.
            • Prepare the steamer. Place a steamer in a large saucepan or a wok. Pour in water to just below the steamer and bring to boil.
            • In a separate bowl, combine evaporated milk, condensed milk, sugar and vanilla.
            • Gently pass the beaten eggs through a strainer into the bowl.
            • Stir to combine and mix thoroughly.
            • Pour the mixture into the prepared flan molds containing the caramel.
            • Cover the molds with aluminum foil, arrange into the steamer (water should already boiling before placing the molds inside) and steam for 30 minutes or until firm.
            • Set aside to cool and then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

            Notes

            • Run a knife along the edges of the flan molds to loosen. Turn the molds over onto a platter or individual plates. The flan should come out easily with the caramel on top.
