Chili Cheese Lumpia

How about spicying up the usual cheese lumpia? Try making chili cheese lumpia for a pica-pica or side dish that will surely be a blast - a simple recipe but with an explosion of flavors. 
Here's a simple recipe for CHILI-CHEESE LUMPIA


Ingredients
  • Green finger chilies (siling pansigang)
  • Lumpia wrapper
  • Cheese cut into sticks
  • Oil for frying
How to make CHILI-CHEESE LUMPIA
  1. Wash the chilies thoroughly.
  2. Remove the seeds (where the chili flavor is found) by making vertical slits on the chilis. Be sure to also remove the white "veins" inside. Wash again to make everything is removed.
  3. Stuff each chili with cheese. You can also add more flavoring and stuffing like bacon bits or ground pork (sauteed)
  4. Wrap each chili in lumpia wrapper. One regular size lumpia wrapper can wrap two or more chilies depending on the size. Just cut them accordingly.
  5. Deep fry until golden brown.
  6. Place cooked lumpia in a plate with tissue paper to absorb the oil or in a collander to let the oil drip.

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
