W is for Wansoy
I ladled the steaming stock into the bowls. I had a whiff of wansoy before I laid the leaves on the bed of noodles. Its strong, heady scent wetted my appetite.
V is for Visayas
There are as many variations to adobo as there are islands in the Philippine archipelago. Humba, the pork stew from the Visayas, is sweet, sour, and salty all at once.
U is for Ube
It was the summer of 1982 and my family’s first visit to the Summer Capital. We cooked, we ate, and we had our first taste of Good Shepherd’s ube jam.
T is for Tutong
I learned to cook rice after having burned rice far too many times. Tutong is the charred crust at the bottom of the pot.
S is for Sawsawan
Sawsaw means to dip. Sawsawan is the assortment of sauces and condiments ever-present in a Filipino meal.
R is for Relleno
Rellenong alimasag is fairly simple but very tedious to make. It is truly a labor of love, which makes the dish even more special.
