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.

a feast for the eyes

Are you both a foodie and a movie buff? If so, then surely you love watching on the big screen movies that largely incorporate scrumptious food! For being such deliciously charming movies, what are your favorites? Top in my list are these two: 1. Ratatouille (2007) Set in France, this is the story of an unlikely friendship of a one-of-a-kind rat, Remy, and a hard up, clumsy but kind young man, Linguini; where one has an unusually refined taste for a rodent, and the other an unbeknownst inheritance. Their circumstances take them to a partnership they never imagined to reach for their dreams! This being a family movie that entertains the young and young once is a huge plus! 2. Chef (2014) This is a heartfelt and funny story of a 50-something chef in California. He is divorced and had no time for his young son. His career once started promisingly; foodies were on the lookout for his gastronomic creations. But pressure from the restaurant's prudent management, wh

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. Mash and mix the dry ingredients below. 1 + 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 cup cold butter chopped to small cubes 2 tbsp sug
