Sinuglaw
My version of this classic Filipino appetizer Sinuglaw, is an all-pork dish. The pork belly is marinated in patis (fish sauce), garlic, and calamansi. After grilling the pork pieces, pour the vinaigrette, consisting of ginger, red onions, and vinegar, then add the chilies. Serve as an appetizer.

Bangus En Tocho is a classic Filipino fish dish made with bangus (milkfish), pan -fried, then simmered in a Tocho sauce flavored with ginger, garlic, onions, and tausi (salted black beans), Tofu cubes and tomatoes are added to complete the entree. Best served with rice.
Mango Margarita Cocktail
This Mango Margarita Cocktail is a variation of the basic Margarita, one of the favorite beverages of all time. It’s also easy to make from scratch. I added mango puree, made from fresh Ataulfo mangoes. This mango variety is similar to the Philippine carabao mangoes, which are sweeter and less fibrous. Serve this drink straight up, on the rocks or frozen.

Chocolate Mochi Brownies
These Chocolate Mochi Brownies are not your typical cake-like brownies. They are rich, thick and dense. The sweet rice flour gives the sliced chocolate chunks the squishy, gooey texture. Filipinos love desserts and brownies are a favorite. These are easy to mix and bake. They’re ideal for desserts or snacks any day.
Oven-Baked Pininyahan Manok
Oven-Baked Piniyahan Manok is my easy version of the Filipino classic chicken with pineapple recipe. Instead of cooking this stovetop, arrange the marinated chicken, pineapple and rest of the ingredients in a casserole baking pan. Cover and bake.
