“Sinangag” or Filipino Garlic Fried Rice is a staple dish in Filipino households. It is made with leftover day-old cold cooked rice, as much garlic as your heart desires, and salt to taste. The ingredients are stir-fried together to create a wonderful and savory dish often eaten for breakfast and paired with eggs, tomato and onion salad, and various proteins like “tapa” or cured beef, “longganisa” or Filipino sausage, etc. It’s a must-try when exploring Filipino food.

Requires only 3 ingredients. Can’t get simpler than that! Just make sure you start with low-medium heat when frying the garlic and stir-fry continuously to prevent it from burning.

Pancit Bihon is the ultimate Filipino noodle dish. Stir-fried cornstarch rice noodles cooked in a flavorful and savory broth with soy sauce, oyster sauce then tossed with medley of veggies, meat or seafood. The combination of crunchy vegetables, tender protein and noodles makes for a flavor explosion that’s hard to resist. No wonder it’s a staple dish in Filipino parties and gatherings.

Cooking Pancit Bihon can be intimidating, so I created a recipe to make it beginner friendly that’s easy to follow. I used store-bought rotisserie chicken for the protein. No need to prep and sliced raw chicken. You can remove meat from the bones, shred and toss along with the vegetables.

“CHAMPORADO” is Filipino chocolate porridge. Typically eaten as breakfast or snack in the Philippines. It was my childhood favorite! It’s traditionally made with 

, and glutinous rice. It’s thick, creamy and filling. Served with evaporated milk, powered milk, or both, and a side of “

“ or salty dried fish. Sounds odd, but the salty fish cuts the sweetness and bitterness of the champorado.

ARROZ VALENCIANA Ilonngo-style is a sticky rice dish typically served during Noche Buena or Christmas Eve in the Philippines. This is my first time making this dish, and I got this recipe from my mom who’s made this dish during special occasions. It’s filling, delicious, super easy to make, and definitely underrated.
