Molo soup
An adaptation of Chinese wonton soup, molo soup (also known as pancit Molo) hails from the Molo district of Iloilo City in Central Philippines, home to Chinese migrants before Spanish colonization.
Recipes with seafood
Kani salad
Make kani salad with kanikama (imitation crab meat), cucumber, carrot, fresh ripe mangoes, lettuce, Japanese mayonnaise and a little sesame seed oil. It’s outstanding!
Milkfish (bangus) belly and moringa (malunggay) miso soup
Fatty milkfish belly is cut into small cubes and combined with freshly stripped moringa leaves in this Filipinized miso soup. Chunky enough to be served with rice as a main course.
Fettuccine aglio e olio with mussels
It’s still the very basic and very easy pasta aglio e olio. Two additions, though. I added mussels. And to give the dish a deeper flavor, I cooked the fettuccine in mussel broth.
Tuna and tofu spring rolls
Three things about this recipe. First, it is possible to generously feed four people using a 180-gram (6.3 oz) can of tuna. Second, tofu is a great neutral-tasting ingredient that soaks up seasonings well. Third, you have to use good quality canned tuna.
