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)

  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...

Simple Pochero Ilonggo

It's just pork cooked with potatoes and/or saba (cooking banana) with kamote tops or pechay. I just love the mild sweetness of the broth brought about by the bananas to the savory broth. Or sometimes, it tends lean more of the tomato based recipe, just without the tomato itself or sauce. The recipe is just very simple - just boil the pork first until tender. Add the "hard" veggies like potatoes, saba, carrots, etc then finally when the leafy veggies when its almost done. Just season it with salt or broth cubes for a savory broth.

Pork Sarciado

This savory and delicious combination of pork ang vegetables is always an extra rice magnet. Much more so if drizzled with hot sauce, a personal favorite. A much simpler version of Pork Menudo, the only difference is the absence of tomato sauce. Just some bread crumbs to thicken the sauce.
