Sinugba na Baboy

One of the easiest ways of cooking pork is just setting them over heat until the juices come out and the aroma fills the air - sinugba!


And there are many ways of preparing inihaw na baboy - that is before the actual setting above charcoal.



The simplest of which is just rubbing rock salt to freshly butchered pork (it pays to have an honest suki who'd tell you the quality of meat).



Just rub salt on all sides of the meat  and set it aside for around 15 minutes.


Over high heat on charcoal, cook each side until it is cooked or even crisp. This is local termed as bino-ug - a traditional way of grilling with high heat all around giving the meat a usually crispy outside yet juicy inside.

Thus for pork, it can often be mistaken as fried, since the outer layers come out  golden and crisp.
But it also depends of the marinade. Others also add calamansi with salt while some add soy sauce, pepper, banana ketchup and lemon soda like Sprite among others.
 I just like my sinugba na baboy grilled with only salt then I make up for its simplicity with another simple sawsawan - soy sauce and calamansi (with the ratio of 1 is to 5).

So how do you enjoy your sinugba na baboy?

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
