White Adobo (Adobong Puti) : How to Cook Adobo without Using Soy Sauce

noemi — Sat, 30 May 2009 11:30:16 +0000

Dear readers,

Here is the recipe for the day from pinoyfoodblog.com. If you are looking for a particular recipe, click the link, pinoyfoodblog.com and use the search feature on the right sidebar near the top . I’m sorry if I don’t get to send you a recipe every day of the week. You might also want to join Cuisinera Club and get free recipes and a chance to join monthly cooking demos. I will be there too so it’s a chance to meet each other.Food memories at my dorm in UP consisted of adobo that mom cooked for us. See in the dorm, we were not allowed to cook our meals. Mom’s adobo did not contain any soy sauce and I often wondered how she cooked it. I never got to ask my mom because she died while I was a teenager who was not yet eager to cook. I saw a recipe once in a newspaper column and the writer called it the white adobo or Adobong Puti because it does not contain soy sauce. This type of adobo is light brown due to the browning during the cooking process. It is a bit sour too. I forgot to clip out the newspaper article where the recipe contained. Fortunately, Sam read a comment I left in MarketMan’s blog. Here, she shares her Adobong Puti recipe which I have innovated and cooked but forgot to take pics.

Try it and let me know…

2 kilos pork (with some fatty parts, like butt, or belly)
8- 10 cloves garlic
1 tsp coarsely cracked pepper
2 pcs bay leaves
1 1/2 cups sukang puti (coco when available)
1/2 cup water
1 1/2 tablespoon sea salt

1. Combine all ingredients in a thick saucepan or kawali.

2. Cover and simmer over medium heat. Check occasionally and stir to prevent the meat from sticking to
the bottom of the pan.

3. Allow liquid to reduce. Cook until fully reduced and only the oil is visible, with the sauce dried into tasty bits clinging to the meat.

4. Turn up the heat to crisp the meat and cook until crispy golden brown.

5. Adjust heat occasionally to prevent the meat from scorching.

6. Serve warm over rice with achara or radish and tomato relish.You may keep the adobo in a clean
lidded jar. Allow to cool and store in refrigerator or cool dark part of pantry.

When submerged in pork fat and properly cooked , it will keep for several months in the refrigerator. You may even freeze the adobo up to a year. Sam has done the freezing a bit successfully, dividing the dish into tiny portions. Just Thaw and heat over stove or oven, never in a microwave.

When I cook Adobong Puti next time, I will post the photos here.——————

Pinoy Food Blog on QTV’s Qtube, April 2 at 10:15 PM

noemi — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 08:16:13 +0000

Dear readers,

View the Video

To my valuable readers and subscribers of Pinoy Food Blog (now reaching over 3,300 subscribers), I am honored to talk about you on Qtube. This blog is not just a recipes blog. How many of you have emailed me asking for that recipe that brought memories of home. You asked a lumpia shangai recipe to show off to your American boyfriend so he could appreciate Filipino food. To that father who just got reunited with his kids, you wanted to cook humba for them. To that special person who made money out of my lasgana recipe, I am proud that you found ways to augment your income.

Pinoyfoodblog.com is not just a haven for recipes. Cooking may just mean as the act of preparing food in a raw phase and use heat in order for humans to digest it easily. It is more than that. Many people now are cooking for pleasure. They consider this act as a hobby. At the end of a tiring day, you find relaxation in cooking. You feel relieved when cooking because it serves as your form of expression and stress release. You love to cook for others like family and friends. It is about feeling good about yourself that you can cook even simple dishes, that you can make a living from selling dishes. Cooking raises your self-esteem. It is about living a dream too. Simple dreams like easy cooking, owning a small business or feeding your loved ones with pride.

I trained my cook who worked with me for over 10 years to cook special dishes for my family. Today, she owns a restaurant business, a hole in the wall type and makes around 80,000 pesos a month. Not bad huh? She has built two homes in her hometown.

So yeah, watch out for Pinoyfoodblog.com this thursday, April 2 at Qtube shown in the QTV Channel at 10:15 PM. This is a relatively new show and my blog is the 4th episode for bloggers digest. Qtube aims to be the ultimate on-air guide to what’s hip and hot online.

The cooking portion was shot on February 9, almost two months ago and I was told that this would be the pilot episode. Apparently, Qtube wanted to interview the family members so they rescheduled another taping on March 20, hence I wear two sets of clothes. Marielle begged off from the interview but watch out for Lauren and my husband as they talk about me. Haha.

The recipe I featured is Spaghetti Carbonara, so simple that a beginner can cook it without problems.

Here is the Carbonara recipe in instant.

Thank you once again to all you wonderful pinoyfoodblog.com readers!

Join a Contest: Delifrance Tray Couture

noemi — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 16:34:54 +0000

Dear readers,

It’s impossible for you to have never heard of Delifrance, and if you’re one of the few who have never even set foot in that place, let me tell you why you should! Delifrance is perhaps the only French-style cafe in the country that offers not just coffee; they carry a wide array of Western and continental delights, from spiked coffee to gourmet pasta. If you’re not in the mood for an entire meal, Delifrance also offers a whole range of French breads, European pastries, and large clubhouse sandwiches.

Just recently, Delifrance added a new item to their menu – a dish that takes off after the French food samplers that are all the range in Europe now. French gourmet samplers are basically appetizer sets featuring small portions of all sorts of food. Lately, people have been getting French gourmet samplers instead of full main-course meals. Delifrance brought the French gourmet sampler to the Philippines and completely reimagined it through the new Delifrance Tray Couture.

Krispy Kreme Doughnuts versus Go Nuts Donuts

noemi — Tue, 14 Nov 2006 15:29:55 +0000

Dear readers,

Homegrown Go Nuts Donuts in The Fort, Global City is always full of schoolchildren out on a field trip. The reason for the fieldtrip is because the kids can see for themselves on how a doughnut is made. Go Nuts have glass panels where customers can easily view the doughnut making process. My daughter was mortified to know that doughnuts deep fried. Oh yes, so much fat. Whenever we buy doughnuts, we make sure it’s only done once a month. So much empty calories! True, the process of making doughnuts is truly fascinating. It’s a way to promote their products.

Now what about Krispy Kreme doughnuts (doughnuts and coffee since 1937)? Will they have an innovative promotional campaign? Will they show the manufacturing process on how Krispy Kreme is made? Better yet, is Krispy Kreme as delicious as Gonuts , Cello’s Doughnuts or even better? I heard that Krispy Kreme Philippines is launching on November 30 in City Center, Fort Bonifacio, Taguig City . I have yet to taste Krispy Kreme version in the Philippines. My daughters and I tasted Krispy Kreme doughnuts whenever we vacationed in the US. How they loved it. It’s the younger crowd who enjoy doughnuts. Not oldies like us who are concsious of our blood sugar and cholesterol. of course we love to eat them but at the back of our minds, we know it is a sinful desset. Though Go Nuts also sells low fat low sugar doughnut, it is still unhealthy to eat in large amounts.

I read in inq7.net “Scream for Krispy Kreme”

A few weeks before store opening, Krispy Kreme is going to give away 100,000 doughnuts to various offices. Fuentebella explains that this is how the firm does its marketing — by letting the consumers actually taste the doughnuts, confident that after the first bite, they will ask for more.

The marketing scheme relies purely on word of mouth — or on how people will talk about the wonderful taste of the doughnuts.

Krispy Kreme Philippines should really target the young market as they can still burn the calories. Schools are better avenues to channel the give away dougnhnuts.

Let’s see what the younger crowd says onKrispy Kreme when it finally launches in the Philippines on November 30. I bet my daughters will be the first to queue during the Krispy Kreme Launch or Opening Day.

Go Nuts Donuts was inspired by Krispy Kreme idea.
