Pork Steak Casserole by RiA

I'm back with another easy recipe for you. This is called pork steak casserole. I got this from my android phone application "recipes" The cooking preparation is so easy to do because it has few ingredients.

These are the ingredients: Pork steaks 2 1/2 tsp. flour 1 can Cream of Mushroom Soup 1 cup Milk Procedure: Brown steaks well in frying pan. Remove meat. Add flour, soup and milk to frying pan and simmer a few minutes. Layer in casserole the steaks with salt and pepper. You can eliminate the salt also because the cream of mushroom soup is already salty. Top the meat with the soup mixture and bake at 350 degree F about 1 hour or until done.

You may add more milk or water if necessary. I also added some cheese when I reheated it. You can add veggies like carrots, white onions and potatoes during baking. Don't forget to share what you did here. Until my next dish! See yah!

Pork Chop Spaghetti by RiA

I'm here again for another dish to share with you. This time, a twist of spaghetti which is called pork chop spaghetti. This was the first time I got to cook this and it went very well. I just had a bit problem with the pork, I think I should cook it longer so it will be softer. I got this recipe from my android phone application "recipe". You can also check it out here. These are the ingredients for this recipe:

Ingredients: 1 tbsp · butter 6 shoulder pork chops -- 1/2 inch thick ¼ cup · onion -- chopped 1 can · (15 oz.) tomato sauce 1 spaghetti sauce, packet -- 1 1/2 oz. ¾ to 1 cup water ½ cup · grated parmesan cheese ¼ packages · spaghetti (8 oz.) 1 cup · mozzarella cheese -- shredded 1/4 cup sugar (optional) 1/2 cup ketchup (optional) Procedure: Melt butter in electric skillet. Add pork chops and brown slowly on both sides. Remove from skillet; add onion and saute until tender. Add tomato sauce, spaghetti sauce mix and water. Mix well. Reduce heat to low; return pork chops to skillet, cover and simmer 45 to 55 minutes or until tender. If sauce is too thick, add more water. Stir parmesan cheese into cooked sauce. Meanwhile, prepare spaghetti according to package directions; drain and arrange spaghetti and chops on serving platter. Spoon sauce over all. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over pork chops. Serves 6.

For this recipe, I failed to add in the mozzarella so instead, I used grated Parmesan cheese on top. I also added sugar and ketchup to make it "a pinoy style" spaghetti. It is up to you how you like your spaghetti. If you want a more Italian taste, add more tomato sauce and don't add the sugar.

You can add garlic bread as your side dish for a complete meal. I will add more pasta dishes soon. Don't be afraid to try new recipes instead of the usual. Until my next dish! See yah!

Pancit by RiA

This is a famous dish for the Filipinos. I got this from our family's recipes but sadly I forgot to put the liver which would taste better. These are the ingredients for Pansit:

Pansit Bihon

Carrots

Baguio Beans

Cabbage

Pork

Chicken Balls

Soy Sauce

Salt and Pepper

Shrimp Stock

Pork Stock

Oyster Sauce (optional)
Cooking Oil
Onion and Garlic

Procedure:
Saute the onion and garlic, add in the pork (and/or liver) until it is soft and tender. Add in the rest of the vegetables and the salt and pepper. Then pour the shrimp and pork stock then the pansit bihon. Mix the soy sauce and the oyster sauce. Let it simmer for a few minutes and then it is done.

I didn't put on the measurements because it would depend on you. The more ingredients you have, the more it will taste good. I've put some oyster sauce to make it a bit sweeter. You can also add liver and sitcharo (instead of baguio beans). You can cook this for special occasions like birthday because they say that it will give you a long life. :D

That's it for now. Until my next dish. See you soon!

Tortang Talong by RiA

This has been a family's recipe for a long time. I guess many of you already know how to cook this. To those who don't know it yet, I will share the recipe with you.

Here are the ingredients:

5-6 Medium to Large Eggplants

1/4 Kilo Ground Pork

3 Medium Carrots diced

3 Large Potatoes, diced

2-3 Beaten Eggs

Onion and Garlic

Salt and Pepper to taste

Cooking Oil

Procedure:

Grill the eggplants until it is cooked and soft enough to peel its skin. After you peel the skin, mash it with fork making it in a circular / oblong shape. Set it aside.

For the mixture, saute garlic and onions, then add the ground pork. Cook the pork for about 30 minutes or until it turns brown. Add in the carrots, potatoes and salt and pepper. Set it aside.

Get your mashed eggplants and add the mixture, one eggplant at a time. Put it in a plate so you can arrange it beautifully. Put the beaten eggs, enough to cover the whole eggplant. Then fry it.

If you noticed it, it takes a while to be able to prepare it because of the processes you have to do. But once you get the hang of it, it is quite easy. For the sauce you can add for this dish is soy sauce and calamansi. But for me, I love the japanese mayo and ketchup to go with it. :))

Hope you'll like it and try it for yourself. That's it for now. Until my next dish. See you soon!
