Chicken Sotanghon

It's been a while since the last I made a sotanghon recipe so I volunteered to make one during a simple birthday lunch.



I love making sotanghon guisado one using shredded chicken with lots of ground pepper. 


And cooking one is just very simple and this recipe can be used in making either a dry pancit sotanghin guisado or a soup version.

Here's the simple recipe for making Chicken Sotanghon


Ingredients
  • 1 pack Sotanghon, 500 grams
  • 2 cups (cooked) shredded chicken 
  • 2 medium carrots, cut into strips
  • 1 medium cabbage, chopped
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 5 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 2-3 cups Chicken stock or water with 2-3 pieces of bouillon cubes, optional
  • Oil
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Sesame Oil, optional
  • Calamansi

How to cook Sotanghon Guisado
  1. In a large heated wok, place cooking oil and when hot enough saute garlic and onion.
  2. Add chicken then cook until brown. 
  3. Add carrots and stri fry for for a minute of two
  4. Pour in soup stock or water with broth cubes. Season with salt and pepper if needed.
  5. Place the sotanghon and let it "drown" in the broth by folding gently. Add water if necessary. 
  6. Adjust flavour by adding more soy sauces and other seasoning. 
  7. Place cabbage on top, cover and cook.
  8. Gently toss after 5 minutes for even cooking
  9. When noodles and vegetables are cooked, remove from heat drizzle with sesame oil.
  10. Serve with calamansi.
To make the soup version, just add more water and season it accordingly.

My sotanghon more than halfway done


All these measurements are just guides for this recipe. 



When I cooked this sotanghon, I never measured any of the ingredients and just relied on my own taste to make the final flavor.

I liberally use black pepper as seen on the finished product above. And it turned out very good based on the comments I got. And I can't wait for my next sotanghon cooking! ENJOY!

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

Simple Pochero Ilonggo

POCHERO. The most familiar recipes are the ones stewed with tomatoes (or tomato sauce) or the Cebu variant which is like bulalo or nilaga, but the pochero I grew up with is just very simple. 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.
