Dried Fish Made Easy: Simple Steps for Tasty Results

Start by soaking your dried fish in water for about 20-30 minutes. This helps rehydrate the fish and makes it less salty. After soaking, pat the fish dry with a paper towel. This keeps it from splattering when you cook it. Heat a little oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the dried fish for 2-3 minutes on each side until it’s golden and crispy. Serve with rice, eggs, or even as a crunchy snack. The flavor is bold and totally unique—definitely worth trying if you want something different! Dried fish can seem intimidating, but it’s honestly super easy to prepare and adds a ton of flavor to your meals. Don’t skip the soaking step—it really makes a difference in texture and taste. #DriedFishCooking #EasyRecipes #FilipinoFood #Food #Cooking

Why Isn’t Filipino Food a Thing Here? 🇵🇭

Tried Filipino food for the first time at a friend’s birthday, and I’m still confused why it’s not everywhere in the US. Dishes like adobo and lechon are just packed with flavor—salty, garlicky, a little sweet, and super meaty. It’s basically what most Americans already like, just with a different twist. Maybe it’s just not marketed enough, but it deserves way more hype. Ate way too much, but no regrets. #FilipinoFood #UnderratedEats #FoodCulture #Food

Pork and Shrimp Siomai Four Ways: Filipino-Style Flavor Explosion 🇵🇭🇺🇸

Start by mixing ground pork, chopped shrimp, minced onions, garlic, and carrots in a big bowl. Add soy sauce, sesame oil, and a pinch of pepper for that classic Filipino kick. For the fried version, wrap the filling in wonton wrappers, then deep fry until golden and crispy. Want it cheesy? Add a cube of mozzarella inside each siomai before steaming. The cheese melts and makes every bite extra gooey. For the egg twist, crack a quail egg on top of each siomai before steaming. It’s super rich and satisfying. Mix it up with different toppings or sauces—calamansi, chili oil, or even sweet soy sauce. Each version is a new experience! Filipino-style siomai is all about making it your own. Try every version and see which one’s your favorite! #siomai #filipinofood #siomairecipe #Food #Cooking

Did you know you can actually cook green papaya?

Did you know you can actually cook green papaya? I make Chicken Tinola all the time because I have a papaya tree that literally grew under an old tire in my backyard! Here’s how I do it: Sauté chopped onion, garlic, and ginger in a big pot until fragrant. Add chicken pieces and brown them a bit. Pour in water, fish sauce, and bay leaf. Let it simmer for about 20 minutes. Toss in sliced green papaya and cook until tender. Add mungalay leaves, chicken bouillon, salt, and pepper. Simmer for a few more minutes. Serve hot over rice! It’s super comforting and packed with flavor. Give it a try if you’ve never cooked with green papaya before! #chickentinola #filipinofood #homecooking #Food #Cooking

Tinolang Tahong: Mussels in Ginger Broth, Filipino-Style Switch-Up

Clean your mussels really well. Scrub and debeard them—no shortcuts, or you’ll regret it later. Sauté ginger, garlic, and onion in a big pot until everything smells amazing. That ginger hit is what makes it tinola-ish. Toss in the mussels and let them open up, then pour in water or broth. Season with fish sauce and pepper. Let it simmer for a few minutes. Add greens like chili leaves or spinach. Let them wilt and you’re basically done. It’s wild how Filipino recipes just swap proteins like it’s nothing. My brain still expects chicken in tinola, but mussels totally work. Had to laugh when I realized this was Tinolang Tahong. If you’ve never tried it, you’re missing out! #filipinofood #seafood #cooking #Food
