Sculpin Fish in Miso Broth
July 1, 2008
Since I started this blog last year, I have grown a habit of harassing fellow store customers for recipes. Remember how I obtained one of my favorites, the crunchy fried petra sole fish recipe? For those I have imposed on in the past, allow me to apologize. And for those I will impose on in the future, excuse me now as I have already developed an affinity to these small talks that I don’t think I can resist doing it again and again. These interactions have brought me, not only fresh kitchen ideas, but a sense of kinship as well. Somehow, grocery shopping Read more

Tinolang Manok (Stewed Chicken in Ginger)
February 4, 2008
Brrrrr, sip, brrrr, sip~that’s me, at the dinner table, as I enjoyed the comforting warmth of this chicken soup. Tinola, with its chunks of green papaya and fresh spinach, was exactly what I needed to combat the pouring rain and howling winds of tonight’s harsh weather! If only the dish does not carry memories of chicken livers and …… Read more
Ginisang Munggo at Chicharon (Mung Bean Stew with Pork Rind)
January 22, 2008
Although mung beans require an hour or so of boiling to soften, the actual sauteing and “putting” together of the soup takes a mere 10 to 15 minutes. This ginisang munggo soup recipe is a regular at my table as not only it is a nutritional powerhouse but at .89 cents a pack for dry beans (which can easily serve 12), it is also possibly the cheapest source of protein you can find.
