The Return of the Kuting Foodie

I am back! Since I am on house arrest per doctor's advise, I now have all the time to revive my favorite blog - Food Trip! Yes, it has been years since my last post but I have some pictures of food caught on camera with my trusty cellphone which I really wanted to share (do not expect high resolution pictures since I do not have a high tech phone :)

Hopefully, I will be able to do justice in describing the food as some of the pictures were taken some time ago. But since I do not want them to be just stored in my computer's memory and eventually be deleted without sharing them, savor the mouth watering pictures!


Enjoy!

Kuting's Kitchen Trip - Labor Day

May 1, 2006 is truly a labor day for me. Kase, 3 ulam ang niluto ko =) - aside from the other household chores tulad ng paglilinis at paglalaba. Eka muna, kaya ko ito ginawa e pambawi sa mga paghihirap ni bibi nung "busy season" ko sa opis. Kaya, tarcrap lang siya the whole day at kain =).

Breakfast: Chicken and Corn Surprise

Blogger note: May konting nabago sa recipe na ito. Ang original nito ay Chicken in Cream of Mushroom - courtesy ng model housemaker/event organizer ng aming mimers group =). Kaya naging chicken and corn suprise kasi laking gulat ko na Cream of Chix and Corn pala ang nasa shelf namin at hindi Cream of Mushroom. Matagal na kasing nakaplano na magluluto ako nito. Mali pala ang nabili namin. Hehehe.

Lesson Learned: Make sure you have the right ingredients. Kung mali man, improvise! Lalo na kung napakuluan mo na ang chicken =)

onion
carrots
potatoes
chicken (pinakuluan ko muna ito pero siguro, pedeng hugasan na lang ng maigi)
salt and pepper
cream of chicken and corn (na dapat ay cream of mushroom)
bell pepper (kaso ala din kami nito)

1. Saute onion.
2. Add the chicken.
3. Add salt and pepper to taste (pati bell pepper kung mayroon).
4. Add the carrots and potatoes.
5. Add cream of chicken and corn. Add water (1/2 of cream)
6. Let it simmer.

Lunch: Sirloin Strips in Oyster Sauce

Blogger Note: This is another recipe courtesy of the model housemaker/event organizer ng aming mimers group =). Dito, kulang lang ako ng isang gulay - chicharo- pero pede na rin na wala nun.

Lesson Learned: Pag natuyuan ang niluluto mo, dagdagan lang ng tubig at oyster sauce...

sirloin strips
carrots strips
oyster sauce
young corn
bell pepper (wala talaga kami nito)
chicharo (i made this optional..he he he)

1. Fry the sirloin strips in oil.
2. Stir in the carrots strips.
3. Add the oyster sauce.
4. Add water (pede din with flour para thick ang sauce).
5. Simmer until carrots are cooked. Add the young corn (para medyo crunchy pa din).

Dinner: Sineguelas con Carne

Blogger Note: Lagi itong niluluto ng aking Inang sa Cavite.

Onion
Garlic
Ground beef
Sineguelas
Salt and pepper

1. Saute garlic and onion.
2. Add ground beef.
3. Add salt and pepper.
4. Add sineguelas.

(ayaw maupload ang pictures..wa!!!)

Kuting's Kitchen Trip - Tuna with Tokwa in Oyster Sauce

Blogger Note: Para maiba naman ang aking nire-review (actually, medyo kailangan na talagang bawasan ang pagdi-dine out kasi magastos!!!), iblo-blog ko na rin ang aking mga adventures sa kusina. You will get to read how I interpret simple recipes and blow by blow accounts of what's happening in "Kuting's Kitchen Trip"!

Tuna with Tokwa in Oyster Sauce
(sa totoo lang, inisip ko lang 'to =)

2 slices of tokwa
1 can of Century Tuna in oil
1 pc onion, chopped
1 1/2 spoons of oyster sauce

1. Fry the tokwa. It is best to slice it into thin pieces to lessen fying time. Drain and set aside.

2. Separate the tuna and the tuna oil.

3. In another pan, saute onion. Add the tuna. Saute some more =)

4. Add some of the tuna oil just to make the tuna a little moist.

5. Stir in the oyter sauce.

6. After stirring, add the tokwa. Stir some more =)

Comments:

Tadaah!!! A healthy dish - and cheap too!

Lessons Learned:

Do not put the tokwa in the freezer. Place it in the chiller so that you don't have to thaw it come cooking time. =)
