Simple recipes with Century Tuna


The Solid in Vegetable Oil/Water of variants of Century Tuna are my favorite since you really get your money's worth. I delight myself in experimenting on very simple dishes with a can or two. Aside from the usual pasta and sandwich filling, these are some of my experiments before that eventually became a "recipe"


First is my Century Tuna adobong tuna sisig. Saute tuna then add soy sauce, vinegar (or sinigang powder) and pepper. Cook until almost dry then add oil and generous amount of chopped onions and/or chili peppers.


My favorite is Century Tuna tuna sinigang. Just boil the tuna in a cup of water then add sinigang powder and kamote tops, kangkong leaves or even pechay. Here's my updated Century Tuna sinigang.

Another quick recipe is Century Tuna yangchow rice. As the name suggests its just tuna fried rice. Just add tuna to a mix of vegetables (carrots, corn, green peas, bell peppers, etc) and then seasoning of choice, butter and beaten egg.

And here's the experiment of all my experiments, Century Tuna X. I literally just threw in what I saw. I just boiled potato slices with tuna (in vegetable oil) and seasoned with "Magic Sarap", Maggi liquid seasoning, white pepper, parmesan cheese, calamansi and pineapple juice until almost dry and topped it with garlic. Don't worry I lived to tell about this so its safe! (lol)


Now here's a more sinigang-looking way of serving Century Tuna. Just boil all your sinigang vegetables (string beans, eggplant, radish, etc) in water with sinigang mix. Then serve with canned tuna.
Sauteed Century Tuna with eggplant and radish strips. Just saute tuna, add the vegetables and cook them to th way you want it.
Sauteed Century Tuna and ampalaya. Its just the basic dry recipe made with tuna but I can't get enough since the tuna and egg combination turned out to be somthing different.
Though at times, I just eat it plain mixed with vinegar and/or with apples and wheat bread on the side.

I dream of bacon at Days Hotel Iloilo ...

I could smell the aroma and hear the crackling sound of bacon as it sizzled on the griller but when I was  about to devour it, I just couldn't taste it. I took a mouthful again and it just remained elusive. On my third try, I finally had a bite of something but it tasted nowhere like a bacon. Then I woke up and realized I was biting into my pillow and just came from dreamland ... I found myself enjoying one of the Superior Rooms at Days Hotel Iloilo a few days ago. It's among the newly renovated rooms and among the few that actually has a window to the outside world. I had a very humongous bed and around four of myself could fit in - but maybe three for "me" to be comfortable. But I'd rather be alone enjoying the room and the pillows for I just love the pillows at Days Hotel Iloilo ever since. The Superior Room is big for its class and has simple yet classy interiors. It has a sitting corner and a sort of office nook perfect for business travelers as...

Ultimate Ilonggo Favorite: KBL Kadyos, Baboy, Langka

K.B.L. or Kadyos, Baboy, Langka is the ultimate favorite dish of most Ilonggos. It is also one of the most missed native dishes as kadyos and the souring ingredient, batwan , are hard to find when outside of the Ilonggo region.  Basically, it is boiled/stewed pork dish owing its "deliciousness" to the combination of the soft and tender pork, the tamed sourness of  batwan  and the  malinamnam na sabaw .  One of the "secrets" of the malinamnamn na sabaw , is the fact that the pork, whether just the plain meat or pata (hocks) are first grilled or broiled. This gives the broth a rather smoky taste that makes it more appetizing.. Learn how to make the Ilonggo dish KBL (Kadyos, Baboy, at Langka) with the recipe below. Ingredients 1 kilo Pata (pork hocks) or pork cubes, GRILLED and sliced into bite size pieces  1 unripe Jack fruit, cubed 2 cups pigeon pea (kadyos) 6-8 pieces batwan fruit  (or tamarind powder) 1 piece por...

Easy Century Tuna Recipes

If you're looking for simple, easy  and delicious Century Tuna recipes online, congratulations, you've found it right here! How about spicy tuna sisig or tuna sinigang ? Maybe stir fried tuna with pickles or just yang chow fried rice .  I love Century Tuna from its flakes in oil variety, the spicier the better, but when I discovered the versatility of its solid variant, it became an obsession. At first I was just into the usual tested recipes; pasta and sandwich filling, but then it got simpler – I just eat it straight from the can! Usually with a piece of bread or an apple. I just add a few drops of vinegar to spice it up a bit. Then came the experiments. Yup I got tired of that habit that one day, I decided to test my skills in the kitchen. Serendipity, you might call it yet most of them turned into good recipes that I have shared now and then. Satisfying my Palabok cravings had me experiment on this recipe on the spot. With Century Tuna in lieu of the us...

Takway

The gabi (taro) is just one of those plants which is edible from "roots to tops". The most popular of which is the tuber part which is used in a variety of dishes and mostly in combination with coconut milk. Its leaves, of course, is the main ingredient of a Bicol specialty, laing . It is dried then chopped and sauteed with other ingredients including, again, coconut milk. Then there is takway .
