Ginataang Sitaw with Pork (String Beans Cooked in Coconut Milk)





What else can't be cooked with coconut milk? Majority of the vegetables in the Philippines can be used as an ingredient to a sumptuous meal with a coconut milk. You can also cook Pork, Chicken and seafood’s. This time, let me show you how to cook Ginataang Sitaw. If you search online, there are lots of English translations of "Sitaw", some calls it Green Beans, Long Green Beans, Long Beans, etc...


Ingredients:
- 1/4 Kilo of Sitaw (cut at least 2 inches in length)

- 1/2 Kilo of Pork Belly or Liempo (cut into cubes)

- 1/4 Kilo of Shrimps (Shelled)

- Onions

- Garlic

- Green Chili (Chopped)

- Cooking Oil

- Ginger

- Fish Sauce, Salt and Pepper

- Shrimp Paste

- Coconut Milk (Powdered or Canned)

- 1 cup of water



Cooking Procedure:
- In a pan, pour the cooking oil, sauté' garlic and onions.

- Add the ginger. After few minutes of sautéing, pour fish sauce. There's no exact measurement of the fish sauce or salt and pepper, it depends on how you like the taste.

- After pouring the fish sauce, add shrimp paste until it's cooked, unless the shrimp paste was already cooked or sautéed'.

- Now you can add the pork and cook it until its tender.

- When pork is tender enough, add shrimps and the chopped green chili’s.

- Sauté it for a minute and pour the mixture of one cup of water and the powdered coconut milk or in can.

- Once it boiled, pour the long beans or sitaw and cook it until it's half cooked. Or you can cook it very well.



Remember, this recipe is just a guideline to cook but the outcome of your cooking will always be your decision.



Do not be scared of experimenting different ingredients.

Maamoul: Stuffed Date-Orange Cookies - Best Maamoul Recipe


The Arabic Food Recipes kitchen (The Home of Delicious Arabic Food Recipes) invites you to try Maamoul: Stuffed Date-Orange Cookies Recipe. Enjoy our easy Eid Iftar desserts and learn how to make Maamoul: Stuffed Date-Orange Cookies.

Total Time: 2 hr 15 min
Prep 45 min
Inactive 1 hr 0 min
Cook 30 min

Yield: 20 cookies
Level: Intermediate

Ingredients
 
Filling:

1/2 pound pitted soft Medjool dates
2 tablespoons water
Pinch fine salt
1/4 cup finely chopped crystallized ginger
1/2 teaspoon finely grated orange zest

Dough:

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar, plus about 1/2 to 2 cups more for dusting
Pinch fine salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick), plus 2 tablespoons
2 tablespoons neutral flavored oil, such as canola
1/4 cup milk

Directions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.

To make the filling: Puree the filling ingredients in a food processor until evenly combined, about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove and set aside. Clean the processor bowl.

Put the flour, baking powder, the 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar, and salt in the bowl of food processor and pulse 3 to 4 times to mix. Add the butter, oil, and milk pulsing until the dough just comes together. Take care not to overwork the dough; it will be slightly wet.

Remove dough from the processor, and roll into 20 equally sized balls. In the palm of your hand, press and pat each ball of dough into a 2 3/4-inch round. Place a rounded teaspoon of filling in the center of each round and draw the edges up and around the filling. Pinch the dough together to make a sealed ball, and then carefully roll the cookie between your palms to make a smooth round ball. Press gently to flatten the cookie slightly, then place them seamed side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling. Gently prick the cookies with a fork or a wooden skewer in a decorative pattern taking care not to pierce the dough to the filling.

Bake the cookies until firm and slightly puffed, and the tops are pale but the bottoms are just beginning to turn slightly golden, about 25 to 30 minutes. Dust generously with confectioners' sugar, cool and dust again.

Other fillings we love:

Apricot Golden Raisin Nut Filling:


1/3 cup hazelnuts, toasted and chopped (other nuts can be substituted)
1/3 cup golden raisins
3 tablespoons apricot jam
Pinch fine salt

Puree in a food processor until evenly combined.

Quince-Walnut Filling:

1/2 cup walnuts, toasted
1/3 cup quince jam
Pinch fine salt

Puree in a food processor until evenly combined.

2 cups semolina flour
1 1/2 cups shortening
1 cup boiling water
3/4 cup white sugar
2 cups ground walnuts
1 teaspoon rose water
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar for dusting (optional)

Preparation:
  • Place the semolina flour into a medium bowl, and cut in shortening using a pastry blender or a fork. Pour in boiling water, and mix to form a solid dough. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead for a minute or two to be sure the dough is well blended. Cover dough and let stand for at least one hour, or as long as overnight.

  • In a medium bowl, mix together the sugar, ground nuts, and rose water so that the mixture is uniform. Set aside.

Place cookies at least 1 inch apart onto the prepared cookie sheets.

Tips:
  • Almonds or unsalted pistachios may be used for filling also. If rose water is not available in your area, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon for flavoring.

  • There are many variations for shaping these cookies including rectangles rolled into mini jelly rolls, or shape 3 inch rounds from balls, place filling in the center, and fold the sides over to cover, and seal.

How to make Nyonya Kuih Pie Tee | Recipe



Nyonya Kuih Pie Tee Cups Making Filling Recipes.



Step 1: Batter for Top Hats Cases:

Pie Tee Mold
1. 1 metal mold
2. 180gm rice flour
3. 50gm corn flour
4. 50g plain flour
5. 1/4 tsp baking powder
6. 1 egg
7. 400ml water
8. 3/4 salt
9. Oil for deep frying


Step 2: Filling

1½ cup turnip or jicama (sengkwang), julienned
½ cup carrot, julienned
2 cloves garlic (chopped)
2 shallots (chopped)
6-8 medium fresh prawns, shelled, deveined and chopped
Salt to taste
White pepper powder to taste
A dash of oyster sauce

Garnishing:

Spring onion (finely chopped), Coriander leaves

Method:
  • Mix all ingredients in step 1 into a bowl and beat with an electronic mixer until smooth and let batter stand for 1 hour before use. 
  • Heat oil in a wok with the mold in the oil. Do not overheat the mold. Dip the mold into the batter so it’s evenly coated  (but not to the very brim) and then deep fry the batter. To remove the case from the mold while frying, jiggle the mold up and down or use a fork to loosen the edges. 
  • Fry as many cases as you want. The balance batter can be refrigerated (store in air-tight container) and used the next day.
  • Once the case turns light brown, remove it from the wok and set aside. Pie Tee cups can be prepared ahead and kept in air-tight container until needed.



  • To cook the filling, add some oil into a wok. Stir fry the chopped garlic and shallots until light brown and fragrant. Add in shrimp, jicama, and carrot and season with salt, pepper, oyster sauce. Cook for 5 minutes.
  • To serve, fill the cases with the filling, garnish with spring onion, coriander leaves and serve with sweet chili sauce immediately.
