Pork Ribs Adobo

fresh from the pan

On a budget? Living alone?

I'm thinking about cooking my specialty, especially during this rainy weather hits your place.

It's a usually adobo recipe for everyone but I noticed that even we share different adobo recipes, it stands out as one of the best Filipino food we serve in our dining table.

So let me share my own Adobo recipe that you can cook without spending more than P100.

Ingredients:
1/2 kilo of Chicken or Pork (preferably fatty or bony part) -- this time I used pork ribs
1/4 Chicken or pork liver (optional)
Garlic cloves, finely chopped
pepper to taste
vinegar
soy sauce
cooking oil

How to Make It:
1. Prepare a medium-sized skillet
2. Put cleaned pork or chicken, liver, chopped garlic, vinegar and soy sauce. The amount of vinegar and soy sauce depends on your taste.
3. Let it boil until the sauce becomes thick.
4. In a cup, get at least 10-15 teasepoons of adobo sauce and set aside.
5. In a low fire, add oil to the mixture and let the chicken/pork fry itself and becomes golden brown.
6. Add adobo sauce until it boils.

Serve hot.

Tip: The more garlic and pepper you put will make your adobo tastier.

Price Watch: 1/2 kilo of pork ribs - P70
                       1 garlic clove - P4
                       soy sauce in budget pack   - P13
                       vinegar  - P13
                    
                       Total: P100


(I spent less than a hundred bucks since I only bought pork ribs and a garlic clove. Other ingredients can be found in your kitchen) =)

Happy cooking!

Buffalo Wings Recipe

When I got the chance to go to the grocery, I grabbed 7 chicken wings and I thought of only one thing to cook - buffalo wings. If you're tired of the usual fried chicken recipes, then this one is a must-try, a perfect pulutan for a not-so-heavy drinker like me. ;)

What you need:

• cooking oil for deep frying
• 7 chicken wings, or you can add more depending on your preference
• 4 tablespoons of butter
• vinegar
• 5 tablespoon of chilli sauce (tabasco preferred)
• salt and pepper to taste

How to do it:


1. Heat the oil in a large pan. Deep fry chicken wings in oil until golden brown. Set aside and drain in paper towels.
2. Melt butter in a saucepan. Add vinegar and chilli sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3. Add cooked chicken wings to sauce and stir over low heat to coat evenly. The longer the wings simmer, the hotter they will be.

Cooking Tip:
Add salt based on your taste. Butter adds saltiness to the flavor so make sure you put a pinch just to make it tasty.

Serve warm.

Price Watch:
A kilo of chicken costs P170. Other ingredients, you can grab it to your mom's kitchen for free ;)

Shakey's Jumbo Hero

We went to SM Marilao to eat merienda and the mall was too crowded as Talentadong Pinoy held its provincial audition.
We decided to eat in Shakey's and tried their oh-so-awesome Jumbo Hero package.

Too bad, I didn't bring my camera to take pictures of what we ordered but I got these pictures of what this package offers.
