Main Dish

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.

Fish steak galunggong recipe. This is not your typical galunggong recipe. Commonly, it will be fried plain, tinola, pinangat, sarciado or escabeche. In this recipe, we will turn the fish galunggong into galunggong steak. How? It’s very simple to do and the process is similar to making an escabeche dish. The first thing you need to do is simply fry the fish. Next is to prepare the sauce and add the fried fish, toss with the steak sauce, and serve hot. Share and enjoy the food.

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.

Ginisang Kalabasa with leftover fried galunggong is another simple Pinoy dish. This is a variation of many ginasa recipes out there. Ginisa is a relatively affordable and nutrient-dense food, which is why many Filipinos frequently serve it at regular meals. This can be a fantastic option if you're looking for a new Filipino ginisa (sauteed) recipe to try. If you have a lot of leftover fried fish and looking for different dish, try this recipe to create a completely new dish to serve.

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.
