Setting up my nephew's brand new apartment this weekend and he asked me what he should buy. I told him to look in my kitchen and you'll see what to buy. What ever you can't find I'll give to you. I proceeded to hear the words "Aah since you have plenty of..." for the following items:

• Donne Dinance
• Achote powder
• Coconut milk
• Titiyas (in the freezer)
  
• Chorizos espanot
• Kikkoman Soy sauce

Since I had - I gave, because hey that's what it's all about.

Answer: I actually add a little salt and pepper in the very beginning while I'm browning the chicken. I will normally hold back on putting too much before the cornstarch is mixed in. You can always put in but you can't take out. I save the finishing touches till the end.

Quick and Easy Marinade for Pork Ribs

Uncle Bo's Quick and Easy Marinade for Pork Ribs

2 cans beer
1 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup sugar
5 tablespoons vegetable oil

Mix ingredients together and marinade for as long as you like.

I stumbled across this marinade one day when an uncle of mine came over to the house with fresh pork ribs. My uncle requested the following ingredients and threw the ribs in the mixture.

I got the fire for the bbq started, made rice, and brought out a couple of beers from the icebox. (Some argue that I did that in the wrong order: it should've been Beer, fire, rice. They're probably right.)

Since ribs cook relatively quick we didn't have to worry about the fire being too high. The ribs were a golden color, with the pork skin crispy on the outside and moist in the inside, it also had a light sweet yet savory taste from the soy and sugar mixture. Excellent marinade. Simple yet effective.

Banana Lumpia

Banana Lumpia

Lumpia

Lumpia

Not too sure where this recipe came from but its not mine. It is good though. I hope you enjoy and thank you to whoever donated this recipe.

1/2 pound each, ground beef, pork, chicken and shrimp (raw)
1, 8 ounce can water chestnuts drained and finely chopped
2 carrots finely chopped
1 small bunch green onions, finely chopped (or one med. onion, chopped finely)
1 pound bean sprouts
1/2 pound finely shredded cabbage
2 small cloves, finely minced garlic
salt and pepper to taste optional ingredients. (Finely chopped) celery, bell peppers, green beans

LUMPIA WRAPPERS or won ton wrappers

1. With a small amount of vegetable oil, sauté beef, port, chicken and shrimp with garlic and onions till cooked or tender, then add carrots, celery and other optional ingredients and cook till tender, adding salt and pepper to taste...

2. Put a tablespoon full of the sautéed ingredients in the middle of a wrapper and wrap, anchoring with a flour paste. (You should cover the wrapped lumpia with a damp dishtowel as the wrappers can harden and crack, making it hard to fry)

3. Fry the lumpia until golden brown. Do not cover, as it will make the lumpia soggy.

If you're around an Asian store, BANANA CATSUP is a great dipping sauce, otherwise, I like to make a vinegar, minced garlic, ground pepper, slight bit of vegetable oil sauce to dip in, others just like to dip it in soy sauce mixed with a little vinegar.

Kadun Ayuyu - Coconut Crab Soup

Kadon Ayuyu - Coconut Crab Soup

1/2 onion, thinly sliced
4 cups water
1 cup coconut milk (unsweetened if in the can)
4 tablespoons butter
Salt and black pepper to taste

If you are using fresh crab follow these directions (just don't pick out the meat, don't discard the roe, and "do" discard the spongy gills and small paddles). If you're using frozen crab simply cut crab into managable sized pieces. Be sure to crack the shell on the legs so that the soup can soak in.

Saute onions in 2 tablespoons of butter. Add crab, water, coconut milk and the remainder of butter. Bring to a slow simmer for about 20 minutes. Add salt and black pepper to taste.

If you have time marinate all the ingredients together for an hour or so before cooking. If you don't, don't sweat it. It'll be just fine. Easy way to do it is to place all ingredients into a pot turn the heat up to medium, cook for 45 minutes to an hour or until meat is tender.
