Teriyaki Meatballs

Tonight we had teriyaki meatballs. I remember when my mom told me the recipe I was all excited to try it. This comes from my childhood that I remember. Instead of having my grandma cook it, now that i'm older -- I try! It can't  be that hard would it? Food network makes it look easy. That's for sure. Here's the recipe.

Ingredients:
1 ½ Ground beef (*)
4-5 Cups of low sodium Soy Sauce, I used Aloha low-sodium soy sauce.
6 tbsp. Splenda (*), I used sugar blend (splenda)
1 tbsp. Garlic, minced.
1 bundle of Chinese cabbage, chopped
2 carrots, sliced thinly (*)

Lets cook:

• In a medium/large pot, combine the soy sauce as well as the splenda together. 
• Add your garlic at this time.
• On medium heat, bring sauce to a boil.
• Roll your beef into small balls to your preference and add them to your pot.
• Check your beef if it's no longer pink then you can throw in your veggies.
• Fold in your veggies into the beef. 
• Lower the temp to medium-low heat. Cook for a little more than 5 minutes, stirring 2 or 3 times.
• As long as your chinese cabbage is alittle tender and carrots is to your preference and meat is cooked. It's good to go. Enjoy.

* more or less, it's up to you, go by your taste buds and how much people you're feeding.

Pork & Sigarilyas

Pork & Sigarilyas

Small bunch of Sigarilyas
Small bunch String beans (otoong)
1-2 lbs Pork Butt, Chopped
Patis to taste
Garlic Salt to taste
2 or 3 Kabatiti, sliced or chopped
Water

In a large pot, cook your pork until there is little to no liquids at the bottom.
Add your garlic.

Stir fry your garlic and pork.

Add your Patis. I normally put in about a 1/2 - 1 tsp. Patis. Go by taste. Don't add TOO much or you'll have to add more water. Let it cook for a bit.

Add about half cup water for the veggies. Throw in the string beans, cover. Let sit for about 5-10 minutes. When beans are a little tender. You can add the remaining of your veggies.

Add the Kabatiti, and the Sigarilyas, cover. Let it sit until all veggies have soften. That's when it's pretty much done.
