Bibimbap Made Easy

Posted by in Rice

Bibimbap is a Korean dish, literally translated as mixed rice. This is a rice bowl topped with different kinds of sautéed and seasoned vegetables.

Asian Rice Pudding

Posted by in Merienda

We call this dish in Tagalog, Ginataang Mais. Ginataan came from the root word gata which is coconut milk and mais is Tagalog for corn. This is very similar to the Western style rice pudding, the only difference is that we use sweet rice (glutinous rice) as opposed to short grain rice and coconut milk and not whole milk or cream. This is typically serves as a snack, but my girls eat it anytime of the day. To make you will need sweet rice, coconut milk, sugar, water, milk and…read more
