Stir Fried Tutong With Bagoong

Stir Fried Tutong Rice with Bagoong. Again, so sorry for the low quality picture.

Ohmaaay!!! I LOLed at the title. Baka lang hindi nyo pa alam haha, tutong is the burnt rice sticking to the bottom of the pot. It's best eaten with kape!!!

There's about 5 cups of left over rice from our lunch today, a huge portion was tutong (maybe about 2 cups) haha, sayang naman kung di kakainin eh ang mahal ng bigas! Php 48 per kilo! What do I do with the tutong? So just like what I normally do, I made another pacham from whatever's left in the fridge...the end product is sinangag (fried rice)

INGREDIENTS:
5 slices of Maling (any luncheon meat), cubed
1 tsp of bagoong
Garlic and onion, chopped
Vegetable oil

For the sauce, mix all these together is a separate bowl:
1 tbsp of soy sauce
2 tbsp water
1 tsp of sugar
Maggi Savor (if you don;t like MSG, you may want to avoid this)

PREPARATION:
Heat oil in the pan then saute generous amount of garlic, onion, add a tsp of bagoong then the luncheon meat Add the rice, including the tutong portion, make sure to break up large clumps of rice
Pour the sauce mixture
Stir fry until the color is even

You don't need any ulam for this. Tastes good already. And believe me, the bagooong will make a huge difference! It adds a lot of flavor. The tutong adds a lot of texture also, ang crunchy! HAHA

I would have added veggies like bean sprouts, green peas and carrots with a bit of chilli pepper kaso wala eh.

Enjoy!

Heat oil in a pan then saute the onion, garlic and potatoes (use oil from the canned tuna)
Add tuna and sliced siling haba
Add small amount of water
Add salt to taste
When potatoes are already cooked, add evaporated milk and simmer for another 3 minutes
Lastly, add the Nestle cream (do not overcook)

Serve on top of rice and enjoy!

Chicken in Soy Sauce With Sweet Potatoes

Made another PACHAM today. It tastes like ESCABECHE, ADOBO and AFRITADA haha. It looks uninviting (forgive the low quality picture) but in all fairness, I think it tasted good-- sweet, sour and salty.

I like to use CAMOTE (sweet potatoes) as a substitute for potatoes, they're less expensive and compliments nicely with soysauce based dishes. 

Chicken in Soy Sauce With Sweet Potatoes 

Ingredients:
1 Kilo of chicken breast, sliced
3 large sweet potatoes, cubed
1 Red bell pepper, sliced
1 Onion, sliced

Combine 1/2 cup of water, soy sauce, vinegar, corn syrup and pepper in a separate bowl

Preparation:
Fry the sweet potatoes until golden brown, set aside
Saute the onion, chicken breast and RENO liver spread altogether
Pour in the sauce
Add the sliced bell pepper
Wait until it boils then add the fried sweet potatoes

Serve hot and enjoy!
