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!

How To Cook Tikoy

How do you like your TIKOY done?

For years, I always cook Tikoy in old fashion way - dipped in egg then fried. Yummy but the taste is a bit boring, right? So last Chinese NY, I decided to reinvent the tikoy I received from Jun (Ruthie's bf) and came up with Lumping Tikoy.

Ingredients:

New Echague Bakery Tikoy (the best tikoy in town)

Kraft Eden Cheese

Preparation:

Cut tikoy into 4 parts then thin slices (about 2-3 inches long, 1/8inch thick)

Cut cheese into thin long strips

Roll tikoy with cheese in lumpia sheets/spring roll

Deep fry

Serve hot

This tastes really really good. Sweet, sticky, crunchy and cheesy! You can also use langka, Nutella chocolate spread, cheezwiz, peanut batter and strawberry jam instead of cheese. The next day, I dipped the remaining tikoy with Pillsbury hotcake batter then fried it...and it tasted equally good!

A bit late but Kung Hei Fat Choi!  :)
