Stir fry squash

Today here is what I cooked for lunch. After I slept at 5:00 am this morning and woke up 8:45 am (same morning of course hehe) we went to church and hear mass at 10:30 am. Came home and was hungry I prepare our lunch. I am craving for squash stir fry, sliced pork meat, and  fried fish.

Squash stir fry with cabbage

1. 1 small acorn squash
2. 2 cups of cabbage
3. onion chopped
4. 3 cloves garlic minced
5. 1/2 lb pork slice
6.  oil
7. pinch of salt 

Put oil in the pan heat it. Put the cut pork let it brown. When it is brown put the onions and when it is translucent mix the garlic. Then put the squash put a 1/2 cup water cover it. If it gets dry and the squash is not yet tender add a little water. Cover till tender. Then mix the cabbage cover it again till tender. When the vegetables are tender season it with salt. Then it is done.

In the Philippines we call this fish "bilong-bilong". Here in the US in the Oriental store they label this fish moon fish. Anyway, I fried it today and what makes me laugh so hard is that hubby who is eating with me is watching me closely. Then he saw me ate the eyes, and he just close his eyes hahahahaha. I knew Americans aren't used to this sightings lol but in the Philippines we like to eat the eyes first, then the fish cheek where meat is fat, lol!! With my viand today I prepare soy sauce and vinegar for a dip for my fish. End up tummy's full!!

Prawn

I loved seafood in any shape or color hehe. I think because back in Pinas we have an abundant supply of seafoods. One time hubby went to visit me in Pinas I cooked for him a what we call shrimp scampi. I bought the big shrimp or prawn in the market fresh and let hubby took off the skin so he knew how it takes to eat a good scampi you have to do much effort to taste a good food. But when he ate my version of shrimpi scampi he craves for it all the time he was there. When I get here he asked me one time if I can make the  shrimp scampi so off we go to the supermarket but to my disappointment the shrimps are frozen don't know how many centuries it was inside the freezer but because he wanted shrimp scampi I cooked for him. It came out good too but because the shrimp is frozen and not fresh it doesn't pass to my standard hehehehe! Hubby noticed it too I explained to him the difference of a fresh seafood and the frozen ones even though I read somehere that a frozen seafood are still good as fresh but for me who live close to the sea water or dagat naku iba ang lasa sa fresh!!

And because hubby like shrimps I made another version of how to cook shrimps. I didn't make another scampi but I cooked a different one I just call it guisadong shrimp, which I only cook it with 7-up, garlic, onion, salt and pepper to taste. Voila it come out good enough for a craving person hehe.

Sitaw guisado with summer squash

Grabe na ang multi-tasking ko dito, as of this writing I am currently doing my laundry and had to put the washed towels outside to be dry out by the sun (they smell good). And then I am online in my facebook to harvest my crops in farmville, farmtown, sunshine ranch and check my restaurant and check my house in yoville! And most of all I am cooking!! Gutom na ako at para hinde ma pasma ang aking beauty I have to cook and here is what I come up for todays lunch and dinner later hehe.

The ingredients are:

1. pork (cut in cubes)
2. onions
3. garlic
4. sitaw
5. zucchini
6. salt and pepper to taste

Saute the onion first then when it turns transparent put the garlic. Put the meat and let it turn brown then put a little water just to let the meat get tender and cover. When the meat is tender put together the zucchini and sitaw cover again. After about 2 minutes put salt and pepper to taste. If the vegetables are tender and the meat you are done. That is how simple this dish is. Happy eating.
