Where are you from and where do you live? I never really asked you guys this before so I’d love to know. I was born and raised in the Philippines ?? and still currently residing here in Metro Manila. I’m of Chinese descent so I grew up with both Chinese and Filipino influences, which I guess reflects a lot in my food ??

There’s a whole section of Filipino recipes over in my Vegan Kitchen #TFTFeBook and all of them are really close to my heart. I saw to it to use really simple and easily accessible ingredients for my eBook recipes, especially in the ‘Filipino Favourites’ section because I want you to be able to try some Filipino dishes wherever you are in the world.?

Here are five of them I’d love for you to try!
_
1️⃣ Kiampung – this is actually a Filipino-Chinese dish that I grew up eating. Kiampung is a glutinous rice casserole and my family’s version is usually cooked with some shiitake mushrooms, carrots, and peachy tagalog or bokchoy.
_
2️⃣ Tofu and Mushroom Sisig – I probably make this recipe once a week and would always have it with a side of rice. It’s my take on the really popular Kapampangan recipe and I love adding calamansi (Philippine lime) juice to make it a bit sour! It’s also really good and flavourful from the onions and other spices.
_
3️⃣ Adobo – I think this is one of the most popular Filipino recipes, which is also a way of cooking. It usually involves cooking meat or vegetables in a mix of soy sauce, vinegar, pepper corns, and bay leaves.
_
4️⃣ Arroz a la Cubana – minced ‘meat’ with peas and raisins served with some rice and fried saba bananas. This is a very Spanish-influenced dish because the PH was a Spanish colony for 333 years!
_
5️⃣ Longganisa – Filipino-style sausages that are served with a side of fried garlic rice (“sinangag”) and scrambled tofu in replacement of egg (“itlog”). Combine the the three (“longganisa” + “sinangag” + “itlog”) and you have some Longsilog!

It’s been another long and busy week but there’s so much to be grateful for. Happy Friday! ✨
