Spaghetti-Buko Salad
This recipe is so Filipino! It reminds me of the parties we hosted — and memories of my mother testing recipes we loved. This one is a particular favorite but I cannot remember which cookbook this came from. This recipe is very similar to my Buko Fruit salad sans the spaghetti noodles.
SPAGHETTI-BUKO SALAD
1 package pre-cut spaghetti (8 ozs.)
1-1/2 cups young coconut (buko), shredded
1 cup pineapple tidbits
1 (#2-1/2) can fruit cocktail
1/4 cup pickle relish
1/2 cup condensed milk
1 (6 oz.) heavy cream, chilled
1/3 cup cashew nuts, chopped
1. Cook spaghetti noodles as directed. Drain and arrange in a salad bowl. Chill.
2. Meanwhile, drain shredded coconut, pineapple tidbits, fruit cocktail, and pickle relish. Combine with cooked spaghetti and nuts.
3. Mix the condensed milk and chilled heavy cream thoroughly and pour over spaghetti mixture. Toss lightly until well blended.
4. Serve cold on a bed of lettuce.
Makes 6 to 8 servings

They preferred the

I find it expensive to buy siomai. Don’t you? So why not make your very own siomai and freeze it? The price of Siomai alone forced me to concot my very own Siomai recipe taken from various sources. My kids love to dip their dumplings in soy sauce and calamansi mixed with chili garlic sauce. If you are a pesco-vegetarian like me, just replace the pork with chicken meat or crab meat. I usually cook it separately because the rest of the family love their siomai to contain pork. I will add the photos soon but in the meantime, enjoy cooking.
Who says cooking has to be labor-intensive? Preparing filipino dishes can entail so much preparation and if you are feeling lazy, there are alternatives like easy to cook recipes that are just as delicious. I got invited to a
