Sinigang nga Pasayan (Shrimps)

Sinigang is a very popular Filipino sour soup dish and there are a hundred and one ways of making sinigang.



From pork, beef and chicken (more commonly called sinampalukang manok because of the use of the sampalok or tamarind) to seafood like fish and shrimps. And using shrimps, you can make your favorite sour soup in a few minutes.

Here's a very simple recipe using just store bought sampaloc mix and it's for sinigang na hipon.




Ingredients
  • 3/4 kilo shrimps 
  • 2 medium onion, halved
  • 3 tomatoes, quartered
  • 1 cup hantak (string beans), cut into 2 inches length
  • 3 medium eggplants, sliced
  • 2 medium size radish, sliced
  • 2 bundles kangkong, hard stalks removed
  • 1 pack sinigang mix
  • 3 siling pangsigang
  • salt
  • 1 liter water
Procedure
  1. In a large pot with water, place onion and tomatoes. Bring to a boil. 
  2. Upon boiling, stir in the radish, eggplant and string beans. Simmer the vegetables for another 5 minutes.
  3. Place the chilies and sinigang mix. Add the mix slowly so you can adjust the sourness and add more water to tame the sourness. Let it boil for another 2-3 minutes. 
  4. Add the shrimps and simmer the mixture for 5 to 10 minutes. Season with salt.
  5. Lastly, add kangkong leaves and simmer again for a minute or two.
  6. Serve hot.

Valenciana

Ilonggos really love valenciana because most if not all have grown accustomed of having it in almost all occasions like fiesta, brithdays, reunions and all other occasions thus I love calling it as the "occasional dish".   Basically, " go, grow and glow " dish, it has the carbohydrates, protein and vitamins and minerals in just one spoonful. And it can come in its simplest form with just malagkit rice, pork, chorizo and bell peppers to some fancy with additions like raisins, peas, chicken, hardboiled egg (just garnish though), etc.  Here's the recipe for Valenciana Ingredients 3 cups Glutinous Rice ( malagkit ) 2 cups Pork, sliced 1 cup Pork, Beef or Chicken  Liver, sliced 2-3 pieces Chinese sausage, sliced 2-3 large red bell peppers, sliced lengthwise 1 cup Green Peas 3 small boxes Raisins 2 pcs.Onion, chopped 4 cloves garlic, crushed salt and ground pepper to taste  2 pcs. pork/chicken bouillon/broth cube

Native Bibingka

There are two types of bingka I've grown up with. First is the flat and "coconutty" ( with lots of buko strips) bingka made famous by the bingkahans in the plazas of Iloilo City especially in Molo and Jaro plus Plaza Libertad. But the most famous is the one in Mohon, Arevalo which gave birth to the popular bingka sa Mohon. Flat bingka from Mohon And second is the one closer to home, in my hometown which before only appears during Semana Santa but now almost year round. This is what we refer to a puto-bingka as it looks and taste like toasted puto. Here's a sample recipe of this Puto-Bingka

Laswa

Mention laswa  and a merry mix of vegetables would come to mind. This is a perfect "realization" of the Filipino folk song "Bahay Kubo" which narrates an abundance of vegetables beside the traditional Filipino hut. Laswa has no definite list of ingredients nor way or cooking as it is just "stewing" available vegetables, not only from the garden, but what's inside your fridge or you bought from the market. It ranges from the simple all vegetable dish to ones having seafood like shrimps, crabs and more. But in the end it all boils ( pun intended ) down to what you prefer at the same time, what is available. Here's a simple recipe for Laswa
