👩‍🍳Vegetable recipes include countless dishes and dishes, they all have one thing in common if prepared ideally they are rich in vitamins and, above all, healthy. And so that you lose as few vitamins and nutrients as possible in the food, you should process it gently such as cook, stewing, fry. This is the way I love to cook my mixed vegetables. The Ilocano way and taste. For more vegetable recipes please check here my blog. Happy Prepping and Guten Appetit!🤗

🇨🇳SWEET & VINEGAR SPARERIBS alla CHINESE PROVINCIAL CUISINE 👩🏼‍🍳iCook

August 3, 2022August 3, 2022 Dolly

👩‍🍳The vinegar helps to tenderize the spareribs. It may also improve the flavor but not soaking the ribs straight in vinegar too long. It can give the ribs an indulgent texture that keeps me coming back for more to eat. For color contrast, I added carrot and green chili. Turn out not a dry bit of sauce and the meat is tender and juicy. Hubby loves it. Fried trout is an additional viand for today because hubby is leaving for a vacation to the Philippines. So I’m not gonna cook for lunch whatever left will be for tonight’s dinner then.

🇮🇳FENUGREEK LEAVES COOKED IN MONGO(MUNG BEAN) | KASURI METHI OF INDIA

July 31, 2022 Dolly

👩‍🍳Cooking Fenugreek leaves which I added to mung bean or mongo. But there is some side effect of fenugreek leaves but also good for health. It has been said that large doses may cause a harmful drop in blood sugar. Fenugreek can cause allergic reactions in some people. Which I found good for diabetics like me. Because one cup of methi leaves gives only 13 calories making it a good choice for those controlling their calorie intake. Rich in Vitamin K which is good for bone metabolism. Dried fenugreek leaves are known as Kasuri methi in India. It is also rich in dietary fiber. Today I cook mung bean with this and with smoked mackerel. For a change add the usual leafy green vegetable that we Filipinos know. Like Alugbati (vine spinach), ampalaya (Bitter melon leaves), even Camote Tops (talbos ng kamote), and spinach.

🌏CHRYSANTHEMUM GREENS-TONG HO SOUP OF THE DAY👩🏼‍🍳iCook

July 23, 2022July 23, 2022 Dolly

my version of Tong Hao soup with Garland Chrysanthemum

👩‍🍳Unlike many other leafy greens, garland chrysanthemum hasn’t received much research attention. It seems to be a relatively unremarkable, albeit healthy food. Low in calories, relatively high in protein, and fairly nutrient-dense, this is a flavourful and very healthy side dish. I love it just to add to my broth, here just added to pork bones broth and I made tomato for dipping or add it in the soup. I ate it with my cauliflower rice which is good for diabetics. Next time I would love to try it just like a salad with sesame miso dressing. I’ll share to you the recipe. Great way to use the chrysanthemum greens!

YOU NEED…….

👩‍🍳Curry is a mixture of up to 30 individual spices, no wonder that almost every curry spice tastes different. In India, curry is considered a traditional stew made from meat, fish, vegetables, and a wide variety of spices here, curry is usually understood to mean the well-known curry powder used to flavor dishes.

🇵🇭SINIGANG NA LECHON-ULO NG BABOY WITH GABI | LECHON PORK HEAD

July 13, 2022 Dolly

SINIGANG NA LECHON ULO NG BABOY WITH GABI | PORK HEAD LECHON IN SOUR SOUP WITH TARO

👩‍🍳Using the thick flavour of Lechon meat from leftover pork head Lechon. Added taro, okra, eggplant and water spinach in tamarind flavour broth from Knorr. Nothing is special with this recipe it’s similar to cooking any sinigang. I don’t have tomato at home so I substituted tomato paste instead. The broth was so good and the colour looks very appetizing too. So this is my version of cooking “sinigang na lechong ulo ng baboy”. What happens to the pig head? Here in Vienna. Austria! For the production of meat products, a pig’s head is usually first gently boiled, salted and deboned. The remaining part of the rind, muscle meat, fat and connective tissue is technically called mask and is mainly processed into aspic and sausage. The tongue is disposed of separately. But we Filipinos love to roast it until crispy just like here. The so called “Lechon ng Ulo ng Baboy” in Tagalog. Pig head Lechon or Pork Head Lechon.

Happy Prepping and Guten Appetit.🤗
