Filipino cuisine?

Question

I was wondering if anyone could give me some good yet simple recipes on Filipino foods? Although, I suppose the complicated stuff isn't too bad either. I've already browsed through the internet but I keep getting some of the same things. But I'm mainly just looking for recipes that don't give me a hard time looking for ingredients since I'm not living in too much of place where I can get some of the more 'exotic' things in a short amount of time.

Answer 2

I am not sure how this one is called but is very good and simple. I have a Filipino friend and she made this for me once and now is a must have at my table.

Boil beef ribs the night before for a long time, until the meat is very tender.

Next day in the morning, scoop out the fat the will float.

Cook some cassava root, green beans and add to the broth , plus 2 tbsp of filipino fish sauce. Is a clear sauce. Add some salt.

Here is an easy Pansit recipe..although not as traditional as I make it. ) I think the ingredients would be to hard for you to find.)

Easy Filipino Pancit Noodles for Two

1  cup thinly sliced green cabbage  

1/4  teaspoon paprika (or cayenne if you desire)

Answer 4

Very easy and delish.  I haven't made this exact recipe for Chicken Adobo, but it's VERY close to the one I've made.

4-5 lbs. chicken thighs

1/2 cup white vinegar

1/2 cup soy sauce

4 cloves garlic, crushed

1 tsp. black peppercorns

3 bay leaves

Combine all ingredients in a large pot. Cover and marinate chicken for 1-3 hours. Bring to boil, then lower heat. Cover and let simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Uncover and simmer until sauce is reduced and thickened, and chicken is tender, about 20 more minutes. Serve with steamed rice.
