Recipes with vegetable / fruit
Korean dumpling (mandu) soup
Round dumpling wrappers are stuffed with ground pork, cabbage, carrot, scallions and kimchi, and steamed. The cooked dumplings are dropped into bowls, hot broth is poured in and the soup is garnished with thinly sliced fried eggs and scallions.
Baby potatoes with garlic butter sauce
Crisp on the outside and soft inside, this potato side dish is herby, garlicky and buttery with just the right amount of tang.
Fried fish with Thai tamarind sauce (pla rad prik)
Traditionally an extremely spicy dish, you may tone down the heat by substituting bell pepper for half (or more) of the chilies in the sauce. For a fruitier version, I add mango cubes.
Dynamite cheese lumpia (spring rolls)
Finger chilies are split open, stuffed with cheese, wrapped like spring rolls, dipped in egg, dredged in flour and deep fried until the wrappers are golden and crisp, and the cheese is gooey.
Chicken, sotanghon and vegetable soup
Cut the cooking time of this traditional Filipino chicken noodle soup by combining pre-made bone broth and chicken fillets instead of simmering a whole chicken. Prep time is 10 minutes; cooking time is 15 minutes.
Seared salmon and mango salad
Seasoned salmon is seared in a pan, broken into chunks, and tossed with tomato, cucumber, onion, chilies, sweet ripe mango, cilantro and calamansi juice.
Tuna macaroni salad
Toss boiled pasta, pineapple, pickle relish, celery, carrot, Japanese mayo and cheese, chill, garnish and enjoy. We love it with buttered toast.
