Bam-I Recipe


I promised my friend I would post her recipe in my blog. She will go by the name Mrs. G. Bam-i is a mixed noodle recipe of egg and rice noodles that is uniquely prepared in Cebu but not in other provinces of the Philippines. In fact some may have not heard of the name, just probably eaten it.


Here is her recipe, that my sister and I tested out yesterday..


In a big Wok, heat up 1-2T of olive oil. Fry 1T minced garlic, 1 chopped medium shallot or onion. Add 1-2c of shredded uncooked chicken, and sliced Chinese sausage (optional). Season with 1T soy sauce, 1T fish sauce, 1T oyster sauce. Cook until chicken is done but not brown. You may add some jullienned (cut thinly accross)carrots (1/4 c), tenga ng daga presoaked in water (sliced Asian mushrooms)and greens (1/2 c snow peas or shredded cabbage or bokchoy). You may add 1/4 c chicken broth and simmer until vegetables are tender. Disperse 1T cornstarch in 1T cold water and add to the pan. Let it thicken. Add the drained noodles (below) and mix. Add some ground pepper and 1T chopped parsley. Season with salt to taste (optional). Top with fried toasted garlic and boiled egg slices(optional)


In a Soup Pot:


Boil 4c of water. Season with sea salt and pepper. You may also substitute salt with 1T soy sauce, 1T fish sauce. My sister added a bit of MSG free chicken broth but it's optional. This will add flavor to your noodles when you soak it. When water boils, turn off heat.

Add the packet of rice vermicelli long noodles (or called sotanghon) you can buy this at an Asian store. Then add the packet of Egg noodles (pancit canton). Soak for 3 minutes then drain.

So good! I love soups but noodle soups, especially, hit the spot. This bowl looks fantastic. I've never tried making bam-i but I do have canton and sotanghon so perhaps I should try!

Jollibee fried peach mango pie

Hmmm.  I went to Jollibee in Jersey city, NJ to get one of the peach mango pies.  Unfortunately they were out, so I got the banana langka instead. Then I had one of those light bulb moments to make my own Peach mango pie.  Crazy huh?  The important thing was the filling.  The filling would be a little bit hard if the yellow ripe mangoes were out of season.  Luckily Del Monte now sells them in the little plastic cups.  Filling: 1 C of yellow sliced and cubed mangoes, ripe and peaches  or Del Monte cubed mangoes and peaches with syrup 2 T peach jam preserves 1T white sugar In a little saucepan, cook the mangoes in sugar for 1 minute in medium heat until mangoes soften.  Add the peach jam and mix. Simmer for another 1 minutes.   Transfer to a bowl and cool in refrigerator. Crust: Buy the PUFF pastry crust from the supermarket.  Lay out and cut in squares.   Add the mango peach filling.  Top with ...

Mango Cream Pie

For mother's day, a friend of mine gave me 2 yellow mangoes. Mangoes has to be my favorite fruit. My brother shared with me a mango cream pie recipe along with my friend's mother who made it out of mango puree. This recipe is sort of a combination of both. The best mango cream pie has yet to be from Red Ribbon bakery...sweet crust, mangoes and whipped cream. For good results get sweet ripe mangoes for this recipe or add some white sugar to it. If you can't find any good mangoes, you can also try mango puree and just mix it with the cream mixture. Ingredients: 2-3 cups of fresh yellow mangoes, ripe and sweet..cut thinly 1c organic heavy whipping cream 1 small can condensed milk 1/2 c hot water or hot mangoe puree (heated up) 2 sachets of Knox white gelating powder, (2) Pilsbury ready made pie crustor or graham cracker crust, baked according to directions on package 1 tsp vanilla flavoring 1 Tbsp crushed graham cracker crumbs ...
