Shrimp Sarciado

Every so often I get a yen for some home cooked Filipino food like Shrimp Sarciado.  This favorite Filipino dish is usually done with fish, but  it’s also made with chicken, pork, and eggs. I like it best with shrimp.

Sarciado literally means “cooked with a thick sauce” in Tagalog, the main language spoken in the Philippines.  The word is derived from the Tagalog word “sarsa” that refers to a thick sauce which in turn comes from the Spanish word “salsa” which means sauce.

The “thick sauce” for this Filipino dish is composed mainly of tomatoes and eggs that is flavored with a light fish sauce called “Patis”.

Shrimp Sarciado is very simple to make. The “Patis” (Filipino Fish Sauce) gives it that delicate salty taste that is delicious served over steaming hot white rice.

You can find Patis in the condiment section of an Asian Market.  I use more Patis when I make this dish because I love the taste, you can adjust the amount you use according to taste.  You can also add more eggs if you like.

Ingredients:

1 lb. Extra Large Shrimp – shelled, deveined, tail on

1 Onion – sliced

1 Tomato – sliced

1 tbls. minced garlic

2 tbls. Patis

1 Egg

1 tbls. Oil

Directions:

1.  Saute sliced onions in oil until they start to turn translucent.

2.  Add minced garlic and saute for a minute more.

3.  Add shrimp and cook until they start turning pink.

4.  Add sliced tomato and cook until the tomato start giving off liquid, about 2-3 minutes

5.  Add Patis – stir well to evenly mix sauce in

6.  Add your raw egg – use spatula to “scramble” the egg into the other ingredients.  Be sure you break the yolk first so it will scramble.

Serve over steamed rice.

Lumpiang Sariwa (Fresh Spring Rolls) Recipe

Lumpiang Sariwa (Fresh Spring Rolls) Recipe

Nov 1, 2016 | Appetizers, Desserts, Recipes

Lumpiang Sariwa or Fresh Spring Rolls is an unfried version of the popular fried Lumpia.  Lumpiang Sariwa is traditionally called “fresh” not because it’s a raw but because it’s not fried like its counterpart the fried lumpia.  

In the Philippines Lumpiang Sariwa can be served as an appetizer, snack or dessert.  It is served during many occasions;  Christmas, New Year’s Eve, and specially During Fiesta Season.

Fresh Lumpia has three parts,  the filling, the wrapper, and the sauce. The filling usually has pieces of fried pork or shrimp but you could replace them with fried tofu or tempeh (deep fried fermented soy beans from Indonesia), and you can choose some of your favorite vegetables cut in small pieces. The wrapper is a simple thin crepe, and the sauce is a thick sweet-savory cream. Combined together, they make one delicious dish that is a party in your mouth.

This is my version for Lumpiang Sariwa or Fresh Spring Rolls. For Fried Lumpia recipe please click here! Enjoy!

Pancit Palabok is a Filipino noodle dish or snack with a Chinese origin. It is often served for meriendas or snacks.

The word Pancit is derived from the Chinese term “pian i sit” which means  convenient food.  The Tagalog word Palabok means  “spiced” referring to the orange color of the dish which it gets from annato seeds.  It has a toppings of  fried garlic, chopped green onions, cut wedges of hard-boiled eggs, cubed tokwa (beancurd or tofu), pork and cooked prawns, flaked tinapa (smoke fish), pieces of chicharon (pork crackling or rind), and a little squeeze of calamansi (lemon juice) all over.

Last Month I ate at Jollibee a very popular Filipino fast food joint.  I ordered  Pancit Palabok, it tasted so good! I thought why not make some at home with my own recipe. My recipe is yummier!  I’m sure you gonna love this.
