My Super Easy Beef Caldereta  I cooked this last night... My version of super easy beef caldereta!   INGREDIENTS (Only 3-4 ingredients /Serves 2 people /Cooking time <1.5 hours) 1. Mama Sita's Spicy Caldereta powdered mix 50g but only use half (though meron na atang 25g pack nito so you can use that)  2. Beef brisket, this is 1/3 kilo cut into thumb-thick strips  3. Potatoes 3-4 medium pcs, cut into medium cubes 4. Green peas 1 can 155g, strained 5. Bell pepper 1 medium, cut into strips (I didn't have any last night but if you have this, use it para mas masarap at mukhang caldereta talaga)  ... What about carrots, you ask? I am starting not to like it in red stews so no carrots here. STEPS: • Salt + Pepper the beef, pinch lang • Heat vegetable oil and fry the beef until after blood shows and then, it browns    As you can see from the picture, I used a small pot so I fried my beef in batches. It needs space to fry until brown kasi. • Put all the browned beef into the same p

Tapsilog with Jollibee's Ready-to-Eat Tapa  Since the Covid-19 pandemic, a lot of the fast-food chains started to sell their food products marketed as ready-to-eat (RTE) that consumers can buy pre-packed. This one is Jollibee's beef tapa from their dedicated commissary. It is marinated beef tapa that you cook ala Jollibee style na medyo saucy pa... do not overcook it or else, it will become too salty and tough. Malasa na talaga sya for me at di na kailangan ng sawsawan. Very tasty and tamang-tama for "tapsilog."

 I don't cook regularly but I think I know how. Like in cooking pork adobo, for example, there are various versions and your preference might lean towards what you grew up eating... What I Grew Up With Ours was salty, sweet, sour, oily, almost dry. It was delicious after it was boiled down and fried in its own fat, or they would add more oil at the end to do the job... They did not put potatoes when I was growing up.  What I Made Last Night  I cooked pork adobo last night. We had old potatoes that needed to be cooked that's why I added them here.  A few thoughts I had while cooking this were: • Fry the potatoes first and set it aside to add later when the meat is almost tender • Boil the pork with crushed garlic cloves, laurel leaves, peppercorn, and just a little bit of soy sauce because I will still adjust the taste later • Only add sugar after the pork and potatoes are cooked because I only want to sweeten the sauce, not the meat • It will really only

I bought a bunch of Ottogi 3-minute ready-to-eat (RTE) food products: meatballs, burger, curry, chicken teriyaki. We've had the burger and meatballs so far... Masarap! Delicious! It's enough for 1 person. I did not heat the foil pouch in boiling water or empty the contents para i-microwave per instructions. Ang ginawa ko is I poured the contents sa small saucepan and let it boil over low heat. NOTE: I also added some water kasi thick at konti lang sauce nya… Pakuluin lang ng konti, yum! Madami nadin yung mini meatballs, maybe 1 dozen? It tastes homemade ala sweet n' sour. Yum 👍 Ottogi is a Korean brand. I want to try their other products because they make delicious RTE food. I bought the Ottogi 3-Minute Meatballs online sa Shopee . It's also available on Lazada here .
