Oppa! Spinach siding - Sigeumchi-namul 시금치나물)

Expanding spinach beyond the adobo kangkong-esque taste, we tried it the Korean way.
Sigeumchi-namul 시금치나물 -- the name of the dish is quite a mouthful to say in Korean to my untrained tongue. However, it really is a great mouthful to eat 😉

My M, upon arriving home from school, went straight to the kitchen, and announced that she's going to skip lunch. But when she saw what's on the table, that plan was altogether cancelled.😜

This one is really easy, no need to turn the stove on, even. Ready a couple of ingredients only and it's good to go.

🍃 Ingredients

A pack or 2 spinach
1 garlic crushed, then minced
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tsbp sesame seeds (toasted or not toasted)
chili flakes (optional)
nuts (optional)

🍃 Steps

Blanch the spinach leaves by soaking them in very hot (boiled) water in a bowl for a few minutes, until soft (about 5 minutes, maybe).
Transfer the leaves to cold water to stop the cooking process (going for soft, but not mushy texture).
Drain immediately.
In the bowl, add the crushed garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, and sesame seeds. Mix well.
You can also add other toppings that spark joy to your tastebuds.

And here's our take.. M was channeling K-drama's strong girl Bong-soon, eating her meal with great gusto!

Learned from: Maangchi! 💚💜

oh my chickpeas! (hummus try this too!)

"Not a chick 🐤, it's not a pea! It's chickpeas!" My hubby's long wait is over, finally, chickpeas hummus is served! Really delish. Garbanzos or otherwise known as chickpeas , is a power food from the legume family. Using only the trusty food processor, t his dip is one easy and nutritious dip to make. A nd because it's got that peanut-y butter taste, my little chickpeas (👦👧👧) enjoy it too. Buddy-up with some veggie sticks, and their favorite potato chips, and they won't be able to resist it. If not 100% healthy plating, at least, partly healthy. We win some.✊ Ingredients 6 tbsp lemon juice 2 garlic shredded 1/2 tsp salt 2.3 cup peanut butter, or tahini (more legit) 1 can of washed/drained garbanzos 1 tsp salt ice-cold water 1 tsp cumin powder 1/2 tsp paprika powder or chilli flakes Steps 1 Marinate In a food processor or blender, blend together lemon juice, shredded garlic and salt. Let sit for 10 mins to allow the flavors to marry. 2 Blend

Steamed eggy pie

If I've not mentioned it already, my little family is in love with chicken 🐔 eggs. 😍 We do not have the e99y as our beloved padre de pamilya for no reason at all. Omelette, sunny side up, egg sandwich, deviled eggs, scotch eggs, adobo eggs, salted eggs, egg soup, oh the list does go on! Another of our favorite take is steamed Eggy Pie . Much-loved by my brood, this one is perfect for merienda in school and at work or right in the comfort of home. Dessert? Easily so! Simple and delicious, this is also a no-bake recipe. Instead of oven, only a steamer is needed. And THAT makes it an absolute keeper in my recipe list! 😎 Steamed Eggy Pie Serving size: 8-inch pan 1+1/2 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 cup cold butter 2 tbsp sugar 3 large eggs 1 cup evaporated milk 3/4 cup condensed milk Vanilla essence Prepare the crust: 1.

Banana ba-na-na-naaaa

Truth be told i am not so fond of ripe bananas. I admitted as much to my kids. But i do show them that i eat it, despite. Must walk the talk especially when they are the involuntary audience to my "healthy food" lectures 😅. Banana cake is an exemption though. The mix of all ingredients is just so right it transports this yellow fruit right smack among my favorite fruits list each time i gobble a piece. The aroma as it bakes brings back fond memories of my mom preparing this treat. If its up in the menu for the day in my parent's luncheonette... well, ... it was the best time to do a taste test to "help out" in the family business 😜 Prep Time: 15mins Cook Time: 45 mins 🍌 Ingredients 1 3/4 cups all purpose flour (APF) (215g) 1 tsp baking powder (6g) 1 tsp baking soda (6g) 1 tsp salt (6g) 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (3g) 3/4 cup Brown sugar (150g) 1/2 cup unsalted butter room temperature (113g) 2 eggs large 4 bananas Very ripe mashed about (430g) ( large bananas;
