GINISANG AMPALAYA

Who wouldn't like a stir-fry vegetable? Today, I made ginisang ampalaya with eggs only, no meat. Ampalaya or bitte gourd in English, is a very healthy vegetable. I remember, my mother would force me to eat this because I "hate" the bitter taste of it. She could make it less bitter, though, by washing it with salt, no water but salt then she will rinse it with the water. 

As I grew, I learned to love this crumpled vegetable. I don't even wash it with salt. I like the bitter taste of it now. It is best when partnered with fried fish. Mmm... 

Ok, guys. I will enjoy my stir-fry bitter gourd vegetable and eat with rice. See you later. 

Smiles to you all.

What's For Dinner?

Tonight, I made pork with vegetables in sour broth or sinigang na baboy in Filipino. Most people in the Philippines grew up in a good homecooked meal, thanks to our beloved mothers and fathers, as well.

I always try to make Filipino dish so I don't feel so far away from home. Blessed enough, my husband loves to eat and it's a-must that we dine in together. My husband is half-Polish and they are very rich in tradition, as well. Very family oriented, like the Filipinos. So much so, Filipino and Polish traditions are somehow similar. 

Anyways, here is the Pork Sinigang I made for tonight. I did not have kangkong or water spinach in English, so I used petchay (bok choy) as an alternative. It work just fine.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful night. Smiles to you all.
