Wok in Roll food




This is a good  recipe with a simple marinade, which is perhaps its good for lazy cooker  shall I say easy to cook I was cooking couple of months ago Teriyaki pork the result was good as it is a bit of spicy but delicious. This time the photo below is mine its Name WoknRoll  restaurant the Name of the Restaurant which is really good and super delicious they have many orders over the phone and also at their restaurant normally we went there to order  this  Teriyaki chicken and rice, We go there and order also French fries, fried scallop and  egg drop soup after a couple of minutes have to pick it up were so hungry supposed to be I am going to cook but the good day turns not good feel don't cook because that day I have appointment and I have another appointment  on afternoon.  Just visit the web and you find their great food woknroll You’ll probably have to cook these in batches, by skillet pan  as I did. unless you have an outdoor grill, then use that. If using a grill pan, don’t clean it between batches the juices will collect after each cooking and darken the chicken  it is really good promise. Me My son were like say oh this so delicious can't believe he like Chicken teriyaki now used to be he like the pork but now on he has two favorite.

We called this fruit pomelo


  here's the picture my niece posted this  pomelo.This fruit Pomelo is energizing snack any time good for your heart




Pomelos are the only known fruits containing spermadine

This gentle giant of the citrus is native to Malaysia and Southeast Asia, but has been introduced to many tropical countries as well as California, Florida and Hawaii of the United States. I grab the picture of this fruit from my niece picture she is tagging me last night I told her that I miss Pomelo fruit tagalog term is Pomelo which  is the good idea to talk about . Its been a while I did not eat this I think 5 years already we went on vacation last year but never got a chance  to buy anyhow I knew we been busy for something else. I just told her, my niece that it need to be posted on social network since I miss to eat it then suddenly she was posting I am glad I see the Pomelo from her social network. Maybe next time I well buy this. The delicious pomelo can enhance a healthy diet.


Sweet with just a hint of grapefruit-like tang, pomelos are refreshing first thing in the morning or cold from the refrigerator, as a fortifying snack. Its juice can be a tasty addition to sauces, salads, salsas and marinades. The curious mixture of melon-like sweetness with citrus tang makes pomelo juice a welcome addition to many recipes - add a skinless, seedless wedge to flavor your favorite ice tea.


Low Calorie and low fat.

Pomelos have 0% fat and 72 calories per cup/190 grams a dieter's delight Most everyone has heard of the Grapefruit Diet, which become popular in Hollywood  Both grapefruit and pomelo contain a fat burning enzyme, which theoretically increases the dieter's success. This fad diet promoted extremely low calorie intake and eating grapefruit before every meal.

Junk food



 People have choices about what they choose to buy in stores and what they eat and feed their children. We are  constantly know that junk food is a one way ticket to the  panoply of modern unhealthy food  when we eat this junk food, it causes diabetes as high blood pressure, heart disease, stuffed with sugar, salt and all things processed cleverly, If you eat fattening junk food and you gain weight to be true I am not fan of fatty food and junk food. During free time or med afternoon I eat junk food but not very often.  I make some cookies, cupcakes,  and dessert for  my son because he loves that one. It good I see him after he gets home from school he openly the fridge and get his favorite cookies I know kids don't need to eat junk food but he knows he is growing up. however I well not baking very often. He eat some kind of food that has meat on it good for his growing body.

 Me and my kid eat popcorn all the time despite it being kind of junk food. I seldom eat junk food or anything salty But it  would  be good to eat a lot of popcorn  is not bad as long as not everyday. popcorn is good for snacking while watching TV.

we called benignet



On Holy Week. Every Holy Friday, my Mom will cook Tabirak as we called in Filipino and it is our specialty in Holy week. This is what I eat  last week. My friend a  filipino bring me a Benignet  she cook a lot and she brought me this benignet I am glad she share her  benignet One time she brought me a  home made Vinegar which is I truly impressed  because it's really good and smelling so strong  that's perfect  suka or vinegar.  She is a good  cooker comparing me.  Although just trying my best to be a good cook but nothing can beat of my friend, mosly the food she brought were good i do like it. When she come back were going to find a good recipe so we could cook. Back to the benignet  the whole day instead of eating meat and rice every meal. This serves as our way of fasting or snack After cooking.  When my mom cook she shares it with us and we like it.  As It is pretty normal for us sharing a bowl of Tabirak even it has the same ingredients but the fact that a different person cooks it makes sense. Tabirak is not only cooked during Holy week but also everyday common in our tradition as filipino to cook our food because we miss our traditional food. I cook Filipino food even though I live here for many years. How about you did you cook Tabirak or Benignit? you can buy it at asian market. Some cafeteria serve this for merienda or snacks. In  Ph. I love it! Below is the picture of Tabirak  though I am eating this time had a chance took a pic. friend brought it for me.

my cassava wrapped in banana leaves



My cassava kamoting kahoy I made it.
 
I bought Cassava a couple of days ago I miss to eat this literally we went  there in Asian store to buy a Filipino food like fish, and other Filipino Foods I wasn't do anything on that day it indeed up to go to the store because i want to cook. I Strolling around the store and found  banana leaves as well as I buy also some other mixture for Making Cassava. This is My first time to make this kind of Filipino I am glad it turns good  basically I watch my mom when she's cooking in the kitchen plus  I ask some tips how the Cassava taste good.  They called Cassava Wrapped in Banana leaves.This is a variation of  more popular Sumang Malagkit  which is steamed glutinous wrapped in  my banana leaves.
 
 
 Aside from the very simple process of making Cassava Wrapped this Filipino native sweet delicacy is so popular to Filipinos because of the abundance of kamoteng kahoy in the Philippines. Also known as cassava or  kamoteng kahoy is the third largest source of carbohydrates for meals. My kid does not want to eat because he don't know what it is Somehow he said mom I bit you eat Filipino Food than american Food yes. And i know how I miss it specially my friend posted through their twitter or facebook. As far as I knew I can do what I want to eat I guess i am learning alot now than used to be. Just check out my Cassava Kamoting kahoy.
 
Here in the US, you can buy it fresh or frozen. Though I prefer to buy it fresh whenever I find some at the Asian store, I always have the frozen one in the freezer for emergency use. It's my first time to make suman, so I decided to just use my remaining 1 pack of frozen cassava just so I could see the outcome.

 I am so glad to find these suman waiting for me, When I went to my friend.She live closer to asian market which is good I ask want to go to the store because I am going to cook Cassava and right away we went I  thankful  such a  good  friend.  I wish I had more cassava so I could have made more. Next
time I am going to cook Sticky Rice.
