Lumpiang Isda

Today is Father's Day. Since I can't celebrate this day with my father (well, he's six feet under the ground), I might as well cook something that he would sure like.

Here goes:

1 tbsp oil

3 cloves garlic

2 small onions

1 can tuna flakes in brine, drained

1 medium carrot, chopped

25 pcs lumpia wrapper

1/2 tsp salt

1 pc egg

1/4 tsp black pepper

2 pcs chili pepper, chopped

1 cup oil for deep frying

1. Heat oil. Saute garlic and onions. Add tuna flakes.

2. In a bowl, mix sauteed tuna, carrots, salt, egg, pepper, and chili pepper.

3. Put a tbsp of fish filling on each wrapper. Roll and seal ends with water.

4. Deep fry. Put in paper lined platter to drain off excess oil.

Enjoy this with your father this father's day! :))

Hotdog Omelette

For this week end I decided to make something easy since my niece (the one on the right side;

tired after our cooking session) wanted to help. Here we go:

2 pcs medium potatoes, cut into strips and fried

4 cloves garlic, crushed

1 pc medium onion, chopped

4 pcs regular-sized hotdogs, minced

1 pack 200 g original style tomato sauce

1 tsp hot sauce

1 pc medium red bell pepper, cut into strips

5 pcs eggs

1 small can evaporated milk

1. Beat eggs. Add milk and 1/3 tsp iodized fine salt. Cook eggs into an omelette. Try to retain the round shape. Transfer onto a plate.

2. Saute garlic, onions, hotdogs. Pour the tomato sauce and 1/2 cup water. Season with 1/4 tsp iodized salt, 1/4 tsp pepper, 1 tsp sugar, and hot sauce. Add bell peppers. Simmer uncovered for ten minutes. Pour on top the omelette and top with fried potatoes.

Serves 8.

Baboy with the Asignar's Bagoong

The weekend before classes starts. Ugh! Frustrating. I don't want to go back to school yet.

How come students get so excited at the start of the school year? Well, teachers are not excited, except for the pretentious ones :P

Well, to boost my spirit before the start of the school year, I decided to cook something that I love to eat when I was small but wasn't able to eat after my father's death since my mother decided to go for a healthier lifestyle and refused to cook this recipe.

Well, my recipe includes the Asignar's bagoong which is really delicious, trust me! Without this bagoong, this recipe will not work out :D

Here goes:

4 slices of pork kasim

4 cloves garlic, crushed

1 small onion, sliced

1 tbsp ginger strips

50 g tomato paste

4 tbsps bagoong

1 pc siling haba, sliced

Heat 3 tbsps oil, then brown the pork chunks. Set Aside.

Saute garlic, onion, ginger, tomato paste, bagoong, siling haba and pork chunks. Add 1/2 cup water. Simmer for 20 minutes or until pork is tender.

And it's done!

Can you smell that? delicious!!!
