Shrimp & Veggies Sotanghon Curry
In technical term(I think), sotanghon noodles are cellophane noodles. I actually prefer sotanghon noodles over the rice or bihon noddles that’s used in Pancit dishes. It’s a childhood thing that I can’t really explain. Since I’ve turned into a curry fiend back in February, starting with a Curry Pork & Green Beans Stir-Fry, then the pork & tofu stir-fry, grilled curry pork chops, grilled bbq-curry chicken, curry pork & potatoes w/ saffron, chicken wings curry, and other curry dishes, I decided to add a curry flavor in this shrimp & sotanghon noodles dish too. I think I’ll make it again soon.
Crab Flakes & Broccoli Slaw Stir-Fry
We spent Saturday afternoon at Hubb’s Corn Maze so by the time we got home, we just wanted something fast for dinner. Spaghetti is a fast pasta dish to make but I didn’t feeling like eating something heavy. I remembered the pack of crab flakes that I was reserving for sushi rolls. I figured I could make a stir-fry out of it with broccoli florets and mushrooms. But then I didn’t want to spend time chopping more after chopping the onions, garlic and ginger so I grabbed the bag of broccoli slaw instead. Good thing I already have leftover rice so I served this Crab Flakes & Broccoli Slaw Stir-Fry with rice to the husband and son who were actually getting ready to go fishing too. So I pretty much just tossed everything in the wok and we had dinner in no time.

Zucchini Sautéed In Butter & Dried Herbs
This Zucchini Sautéed In Butter & Dried Herbs side dish is hardly a “recipe” but I’ve decided a few months ago that I will be better at sharing simpler dishes in my foodblog since that’s my mantra around here after all. I for one have a hard time coming up with vegetable side dishes to go along with main entrées on a daily basis. But no matter what, as much as possible, there’s always have to be vegetables with our meals. If you’re the same way, here’s one that you could whip up in a breeze.
Pork & Broccoli Teriyaki
This pork and broccoli teriyaki dish was a yummy dish to end my productive day yesterday. I had been sick all week but finally felt better yesterday so I tackled loads and loads of laundry, cleaned, and even swiffered the floors. A nice dinner certainly was a perfect way to end the day. Pork and Perfect Day definitely have a nice ring in my world. Let’s add in some broccoli for some color because color is good in our lives, no?
Tortang Talong W/ Leftover Lemon-Pork
So I finally made that Tortang Talong that I was craving for a month ago but was too lazy to make. Not only did I labor over making 1 tortang talong, I dressed it up too by adding cutup leftover lemon-pork.
Breaded Swai Fillet & Mixed Greens Salad
There were a couple of leftover pan-fried breaded Swai fillets the other day so I decided to warm it up, sliced it diagonally then laid it on top of a bed of mixed greens for a healthy and hearty lunch.
Homemade Veggie Lovers Pizza
Sometimes I get the urge to just eat vegetables all day. I’m no vegetarian coz I can’t live without pork unless of course I get the crazy idea to join a reality show to win $1Million and be stuck in an island with nothing to eat but exotic veggies. But I digress. Still, I do love vegetables. Gotta have vegetables with every meal. But like I said, sometimes I just want to eat veggies and veggies alone. I could’ve just easily sautéed whatever veggies I have from the crisper and come up with a vegetable stir-fry but that would make me crave for rice so I decided to make Veggie Lovers Pizza instead. You can’t eat pizza with rice. Well at least not in this household. My husband said he likes meat in his pizza when he saw it after coming home from work but while eating his 3rd(or was it 4th) slice, he said it was really good. INDEED it was!
Cucumber and Apple Slaw
This is just a simple side dish that I put together to go along with the sliders the other day. Instead of the cabbage based slaw, I used cucumber and green apple. It’s a combination of soft, crunchy and just the right about of sweetness from the apple.
Sauteed Onions & Mushrooms
I love onions. I love mushrooms. I combined them together to create a delicious marriage of flavors then served ‘em as a vegetable side dish to lamb chops. It’s fast, easy and healthy to go along with any kind of protein entree.
Eggplant & Leftover Beef Stir-Fry
I had one eggplant left from the local produce vendor loot so I figured I’d cook it up before it goes bad. I really don’t know why I saved that 1 eggplant when I made the pork, green beans, & eggplant curry stir-fry. I was actually craving for tortang talong which I haven’t had in a looooong time that I can’t even remember the last time I ate some. However, I felt a bit silly grilling 1 eggplant, and then peeling the skin off, then beating an egg, and frying it up. It’s easy to make but I didn’t feel like doing all that stuff. Plus, I just finished doing a hardcore cardio workout courtesy of TurboFire 55 so let’s just I wanted food at that moment and I wanted it fast and furious.
