Philippine Adobo
Philippine ''adobo'' (from Spanish ''adobar'': "marinade," "sauce" or "seasoning" / ) is a popular Filipino dish and cooking process in Philippine cuisine that involves meat, seafood, or vegetables marinated in vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, bay leaves, and black peppercorns, which is browned in oil, and simmered in the marinade.

Pinipig
''Pinipig'' is a flattened rice ingredient from the Philippines. It is made of immature grains of glutinous rice pounded until flat before being toasted. It is commonly used as toppings for various desserts in Filipino cuisine, but can also be eaten plain, made into cakes, or mixed with drinks and other dishes. Production ''Pinipig'' is made solely from glutinous rice (''malagkit'' or "sticky" rice). The grains are harvested while still green. They are husked and the chaff is separated from the grain (traditionally using large flat winnowing baskets called ''bilao''). The resulting bright green kernels are then pounded in large wooden mortars and pestles until flat. They are then toasted dry on pans or baked until crisp. Description ''Pinipig'' are characteristically light green in color when fresh, but usually become yellowish white to brown when toasted. They superficially resemble grains of oats, and are often confused with puffed rice. The texture is crunchy on the ext ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ampaw
Ampaw, ampao or arroz inflado, usually anglicized as pop rice or puffed rice, is a Filipino sweet puffed rice cake. It is traditionally made with sun-dried leftover cooked white rice that is fried and coated with syrup. Etymology ''Ampáw'' means " puffed grain" in Philippine languages. Though it applies predominantly to the rice version, popcorn can also be referred to as ''ampáw'' (more accurately as ''ampáw na mais'', "puffed corn"). In Cebuano slang, ''ampáw'' is also a euphemism roughly equivalent to the English idiom " personfull of hot air". Blust (2010-2020) posits it to be from Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *ampaw (“empty husk (of rice, etc.)”). Another Filipino word, ''ampaw (also spelled as angpao'' or ''ampao''), referring to Chinese red envelopes should not be confused with this term, as they are close homonyms from Philippine Hokkien . Description Ampaw is made with cooked white rice (usually leftovers). It is dried in the sun for around four hours. They ar ...

Binatog
''Binatog'', also known as ''bualaw'' or ''kinulti'', is a Filipino boiled corn dessert topped with freshly grated coconut, butter, and salt or sugar. It is commonly sold as street food in the northern Philippines by vendors known as ''magbibinatog'' carrying characteristic large tin cans, similar to ''taho'' vendors. Description ''Binatog'' is made from dried mature waxy corn kernels soaked in saltwater until the kernels puff up. The kernels are then washed and boiled until very soft. They are then placed into a bowl and topped with grated coconut, butter (or margarine), and sugar to taste. Modern variants of the dish typically use canned Mexican hominy to skip the soaking process, but boiled young corn kernels may also be used. Some variants also use other toppings like coconut milk (''gata'') or evaporated milk, in which case it becomes known as ''binatog sa gata''.

Popcorn
Popcorn (also called popped corn, popcorns or pop-corn) is a variety of corn kernel which expands and puffs up when heated; the same names also refer to the foodstuff produced by the expansion. A popcorn kernel's strong hull contains the seed's hard, starchy shell endosperm with 14–20% moisture, which turns to steam as the kernel is heated. Pressure from the steam continues to build until the hull ruptures, allowing the kernel to forcefully expand, to 20 to 50 times its original size, and then cool. Some strains of corn ( taxonomized as ''Zea mays'') are cultivated specifically as popping corns. The ''Zea mays'' variety ''everta'', a special kind of flint corn, is the most common of these. Popcorn is one of six major types of corn, which includes dent corn, flint corn, pod corn, flour corn, and sweet corn. History Corn was domesticated about 10,000 years ago, in what is now Mexico. Archaeologists discovered that people have known about popcorn for thousands of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
