fried wonton whattup!!!

3 words. NOM NOM NOM.

Whether fried or added to the wonton soup, it's definitely nom nom nom.

Ingredients

200g (0.44 lbs) pork mince

100g (0.22 lbs) peeled and deveined prawns, roughly chopped (optional)

Sayote minced (*meat fillers)

2 tbsp finely chopped spring onion (scallions)

2 tsp light soy sauce

1 tsp sea salt

½ tsp sesame oil

1 tsp cornflour (cornstarch)

¼ tsp ground white pepper

Mix gently by hand, then with chopsticks until the consistency is STICKY.

Tips:

- If you plan to fry these, put smaller portions in the wrapper.

Since the wrapper is thin, frying time should be short. More fillings will take longer to cook, and by then you'd have burnt the wrappers already.

- Meat fillers- when you've got a huge tribe to feed and need to save $$ but still deliver oomph flavor, adding minced chayote on top of your portion of meat can do the trick. Chayote absorbs the flavor of the mix. Celery is another option to consider. (But only for non-members of the "i Hate Celery" Club.)

- Storage: Line them up on a tray, chill in freezer.

Once, set, transfer to ziploc bags.

These can keep in the freezer for a few weeks.

Japanese potato salad, onegaishimasu!!!

Refreshing Crunch in every bite Nice touch of creamy from the potatoes and dressing Wonderful colors BEST of ALL: HEALTHY 🥗 Ingredients 3 potatoes, boiled & roughly mashed 1/2 cup of picnic ham, or 1/2 can of Spam, diced and fried. 1 cucumber, sliced 1 carrot, julienne 1/2 cup sweet corn, 1/2 cup picnic ham, diced &fried Japanese mayonnaise (*or any mayo) vinegar 1 boiled egg (optional) Salt and pepper to taste. 🥗 Steps Once the potatoes and ham are done, boiled-mashed, fried, respectively. mix altogether in a big bowl. Serve warm immediately, or it can also be served after being chilled for an hour (if in a rush 30 mins in the chiller will do.) The kids preferred without onions, so I always exclude it. Pair with some nicely fried food, like Japanese sausages, or chicken nuggets; world peace over dinner is hugely important. 💡 Inspired by: Ochikeron & Just One Cookbook

this is it, pansit!

"Pansit for loooooong life!" is how we say it in my country, drawing a parallelism to the length of the noodle to the length of one's life. 😎 Pansit or pancit means noodles. The origin of noodles in Filipino cuisine can be traced back to the era in Philippine history when the early Chinese migrants, traded and then settled in the archipelago. According to Wiki, the word pansit is derived from the Hokkien word "pian i sit" meaning convenient food, attributing to the ease and speed of preparing this dish. Since its introduction, noodles has been adopted and has evolved into its many variations islands-wide that are a staple today. As such, growing up, pansit was part of my family's tradition, as is typical in most Filipino homes. It is a regular in the family's menu. And how can a fiesta, party or special get-together be ever complete without it? It is just one of those dishes that someone in the family or clan prepares for sharing. Pansit canton...
