Filipino food / recipes

@juniorballoon’s post about adobo and the ensuing convo has me hankering Filipino food.

The best loempia (ok, second best to my ex’s Thai mom) I’ve had were at a Filipino gathering many moons ago, and I absolutely adored our two meals at Tabachoy, a very popular Filipino restaurant in Philly.

I was hoping we could gather some favorite recipe sources/recipes here. My first attempt at garlic rice and chicken adobo is hopefully just around the corner…

This was the recipe @Thimes shared, and since I’m already a YUUUUGE fan of WoL, I’ll likely try this one first.

The garlic rice sounds easy enuff.

More from “thekitchn,” a site I’m not too familiar with. Have any of you found it to be a reliable source for recipes?

I’ve made the Filipino short rib adobo from thekitchn and everyone enjoyed it

I bookmarked this recipe and might make it this weekend since it looks like we are not going to get a break from winter

We’ve been enjoying a heatwave in the low 50s, but Sunday it’s back to Jack Frost :roll_eyes: :cold_face:

Good to know about thekitchn. Hey, maybe I’ll do a comparison cook between WoL & SE & thekitchn :slight_smile:

I love Halo Halo

Coke has become part of some Filipino adobo recipes.

This brisket recipe , while not from a Filipino source, has Filipino influences and calls for Coke. We liked it.

Here’s a Coke Pork Adobo

I love lumpia. I haven’t made them. I order them a lot.

Filipino Breakfasts look interesting

Some of the Filipino restaurants in Toronto, such as Tagpuan, have a hot table, which is a nice way to try a few dishes at once.

The Beef Kare Kare / beef stew with peanut butter was really delicious.

More recipes I have bookmarked but haven’t tried

Perfect! Thanks so much for sharing :folded_hands:t2:

My first garlic rice. What on earth took me so long to make this? It’s about as easy as all get-out. I used this “recipe,” which isn’t much of one. Oil, garlic, rice, scallions, boom: done.

It was better than anything this simple should be, but I’m still glad I did a test run for an upcoming Filipino dinner for friends.
