Main Dish

Adobong atay ng manok with carrots is another version of the Filipino dish adobo. This recipe is prepared similarly to traditional adobo. The only difference is that we add pan-fried carrots. If you like carrots and adobo, this is the recipe for you. This recipe is a perfect combination of protein and vegetables in one dish. Typically, chicken or pork are used in adobo dishes. But even chicken liver is ideal for an adobo dish. Cook it properly, paying close attention to the timing. Avoid overcooking the liver as it will become chalky in texture and perhaps have an unpleasant aftertaste. When cooked properly, each bite has the perfect texture, which is silky, smooth, and delicious. The adobo recipe is one of the best Filipino recipes since it is very tasty.

Chicken Bang Bang Recipe. Amazingly crispy chicken bites drizzled with bang bang sauce, sweet chili mayo sauce, just make the entire dish appetizing and delectable. This recipe is a copycat of a popular Sichuan Chinese dish. A simple recipe, crisp, saucy, and delicious, great for meals.

The Igado recipe is a classic Ilocano dish prepared with pork tenderloin and liver, including some pork internal parts. This is without a doubt one of the most well-known and delicious Filipino dishes in the Philippines. This recipe is similar to the authentic Igado from Ilocos. It's prepared and simmered with a rich and savory sauce. It's a great dish for lunch or dinner with steamed rice.

Another quick and inexpensive recipe that is nutrient-dense is the delicious Adobong Kangkong with toasted garlic bits. Since kangkong can be cultivated easily in the Philippines, this Filipino kangkong adobo dish is cheap. To prepare kangkong, pick the best variety that is possibly available. I believe this may be a good option to try if you're looking for a kangkong recipe. This Filipino recipe is not a fancy dish but brings a pack of nutrients and is really yummy and simple to make.

Ginataang Alimasag (crabs cooked in coconut milk) or alimango in Visayan terms. This dish is a favorite among seafood lovers, offering a delightful combination of tender crab meat and creamy coconut milk. If you’re a fan of crabs and coconuts, this recipe is a must-try. For those who enjoy a different twist, you can also explore our sweet chili crab recipe, which offers a tangy and slightly sweet alternative.

The Baked Tahong Recipe, or Baked Mussels, is a very simple seafood dish appetizer, which can also be a main dish. Try this straight-forward tahong (mussels) stuffed with butter, garlic, cheese, and parsley. A yummy appetizer at a low cost. For more recipes, feel free to browse our recipe archive.

This Pork Siomai Recipe is a typical Chinese dumpling. This recipe is similar to the Cantonese variety. It mainly uses ground pork and shrimp, with added mushrooms. I also used singkamas (commonly known as jicama or Mexican turnip) but it is totally optional. Leave it out of your ingredients if you don’t like jicama, or "singkamas" in Filipino. Soimai, or steamed dumplings, are easy to make and great as an appetizer, snack, or main dish. This recipe is one of my favorites because it tastes the best when paired with a dipping sauce made of soy sauce and calamansi.

Fried Galunggong Recipe with Spicy Toyomansi . Galunggong, or “ Blue Mackerel Scad" in English, also known as round scad, maachili, or shortfin scad is mostly seen on subtropical islands where it is highly abundant, like the Philippines. It's one of the simplest dishes that a Filipino household can prepare. It’s not too expensive for every Filipino family earning only a minimum wage salary. Fried is one of the most common and affordable ways to cook this galunggong. This fish is also good for escabeche, pinangat, sarciado, inun-onan in the Vasayas islands and many more. The fried galunggong remains as delicious as ever with the sawsawan dipping sauce. I ate this fried galunggong with spicy sawsawan toyomansi. This dish is not so fancy but for me, it is the best with tuyomansi and chopped red chillies (sarap anghang). It's affordable, delicious, nutritious, and simple to cook.

Ginisa recipe for Kalabasa at Miki with karneng manok . This dish is a variation of my other ginisa recipe. Kalabasa (squash) is a versatile vegetable that can be used in many Filipino dishes. The kalabasa vegetable is great in taste and full of healthy nutrients. It is an excellent source of vitamins A, C, and B; it also contains a lot of antioxidants and minerals, including potassium, magnesium, and manganese. This recipe is very straight-forward. It is not a fancy dish, but it goes well with rice that simply feeds your hunger. In this recipe, we used mixed-cut chicken. Why? Because chicken with bones when simmered extracts the best broth, which makes the dish yummy.
