Torta Torta Torta ala munggo

I was that day old when I learned that there is also a Torta Monggo!!! ๐Ÿ˜…

We tried it and true enough it was delish. 

This is a very welcome addition to the  classic torta talong and torta hipon in our menu staple.

Easy to prep n' cook, tasty and ticks my required veggie % intake for every meal.

The whole bunch loved it. ๐Ÿ˜‹

Here was our 1st take:



๐Ÿ“Ingredients:

1 cup Monggo beans (boiled, drained well)

1 small Onion, minced

2 cloves Garlic, minced

1 cup Malunggay leaves (optional)

2 tbsp Flour

1 tbsp Oyster sauce

Salt, Ground Pepper to taste 

1 to 2 eggs

250 g Minced Pork (optional, also add 1/2 tbsp oyster sauce).

*the size of the eggs may vary in some regions, so check the consistency-- it must be pasty and not runny.


๐Ÿ“Steps:

1. In a mixing bowl, put all the ingredients.

2. Mix well- gently but thoroughly.

3. Heat up a shallow frying pan on low-medium.

4. Add 2 tbsp of preferred cooking oil.

5. Scoop a generous tablespoon of the mix and push gently onto the pan.

6. Flatten and form desired shape (typically circular) with a spatula.

7. Cook until golden brown per side.

The crispier you want it, the longer the cooking time per side.

I would suggest just a light golden brown to keep the yummy juices in and not dry out the patty.

8. Take out and place onto a kitchen towels to remove the extra oil.

9. Serve with your fave sauce.

Chili Thai sauce, asian sauce, dark yuzu, or ketchup pairs well.


Enjoy!

Japanese potato salad, onegaishimasu!!!

Refreshing Crunch in every bite Nice touch of creamy from the potatoes and dressing Wonderful colors BEST of ALL: HEALTHY ๐Ÿฅ—  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. ๐Ÿฅ—  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. ๐Ÿ’ก Inspired by: Ochikeron & Just One Cookbook
