The Chicken Sotanghon Soup dish is the ultimate comfort food. It is hearty and yummy, a Filipino version of chicken noodle soup, with vegetables added to bring extra taste and nutrients. It is best to eat this, especially on cold-weather or rainy days. This recipe is similar to arroz caldo.

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.

Arroz Caldo is the Filipino answer to chicken congee—a hearty, ginger-infused rice porridge loaded with tender chicken, toasted garlic, and a squeeze of calamansi. Perfect for rainy days, sick days, or midnight cravings, this dish is warm, nourishing, and packed with flavor!

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.

Spicy pork liver adobo. This is just another simple Filipino adobo recipe. Adobo is a national dish in the Philippines. Adobo has many versions nowadays, circulated only. This recipe is not the authentic one. This recipe only shows how Filipino adobo dishes are easily prepared. In this recipe, the main ingredient is the pork liver. It is sauteed with certain spices. Then they add vinegar and certain seasonings to make the adobo dish delectable. Add some chopped red chilies to make it spicy. That’s all very simple, but yummy.
