So throughout the years, I’ve tried different recipes of adobo but this pressure cooker version has yet to be my favorite one. It didn’t require any marinating, and it was the right taste of vinegar to soy sauce ratio. The addition of the coconut milk provided that hint of creaminess 🥥 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Ingredients:  2 lbs chicken thighs boneless  5 cloves garlic minced 3/4 c coconut milk 1/4 c white vinegar  1/4 c soy sauce  Salt & pepper  2 T coconut cream  1 med red onion chopped  3 dried bay leaves  Add 1/2 jalapeño for hint of spicy  Directions:  Set Pressure cooker to Saute mode. Add oil. Fry chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side until lightly brown. Add garlic & onions. Season with salt & pepper.  When onions are soft, add coconut milk, soy sauce & bay leaves & jalapeño. Close lid, set to 7 minutes on high pressure. Release vent and open lid. Stir & add in coconut cream. Season to taste.

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 ...

Nothing like a good comfort food than taho. It consists of extra soft tofu curd layered with tapioca pearls and brown syrup. You can buy this on the streets of the Philippines or Chinatown here in the US.  Here is my own version of this recipe: You'll need: 1 cup medium size Tapioca pearls, boiled 40-60 min in water until it is transparent. Drain and add cold water. 1 box of HOUSE Tofu mix (available at most Asian grocery or Amazon) 3 cups of dark brown and 4 cups  water, boiled 15 minutes until formed into a watery syrup but not sticky. To make the tofu mix: Boil 6 1/2 cups of water mixed with a packed of soybean milk powder. After 4 minutes, remove from heat and add coagulant. Cover. This will make the tofu  firm but soft, and you should be able to scoop it out in layers. Layer tofu, brown syrup, then tapioca until it reaches the top of the glass.  Serve best warm. In addition to brown syrup, you can also use strawberry flavored syrup as i...
