Grilled Eggplant with Roasted Bell Peppers

I pan-grilled some eggplants cut thinly then roasted some bell peppers and cut them into strips. I then lightly sauteed some onions, tomatos, olives and coriander in olive oil. I turned off the heat then tossed in the eggplants and bellppers.

I got a bagettte sliced in half, toasted it then placed the veggies on top of the bread, crumbled some kesong puti then drizzled extra virgin olive oil on it.

A very filling veggie supper! :D

To go with the open-faced veggie sandwich, i had some ice cold Soju straight from the freezer with 3 olives.

Now i'm guilt-free and buzzed! :-D

Chicken Somen

Somen noodles in chicken broth with bok choy and fried tokwa. To make it a bit pinoy, I added some chicharon (crispy pork rind).

Crispy-fried Tawilis

I coated them with a simple tempura batter than deep fried them until golden and crispy. I got about 100g. which costs P10.00. It could actually feed 2 people (with rice or course.) A great dipping sauce would be vinegar with crushed garlic and a little salt and pepper.

Vegetarian Fried Rice

I had a few veggies in the ref that's past their prime but I didn't want them to go to waste so I made fried rice with them. I had Pachay, carrots, red onions and garlic. Chopped them finely and then sauteed them in chicken oil (rendered from chicken fat), then sprinkled with chopped green onions at the end.

Fishcakes

I was given a HUGE catfish today.

There was this British cooking show I was watching and they made fishcakes that looked pretty tasty. I decided to make the dish with the catfish.

Catfish.

Catfish fillet.

And this is how it looks like after I was done.

The sauce was made with the reduced poaching liquid of the fish and rue and Parmesan and Romano cheeses.

It turned out great as a salad dressing as well. :D
