Leche Flan

Filipinos love desserts and anything that’s sweet yet fulfilling.  Leche flan is also one of the best known desserts that’s so easy to make. The desert is similar to a crème brulée. Although the ingredients are almost always the same, Filipinos still make innovations and makes different ways on cooking one. Personally, Leche Flan is one of my favorite desserts. When I crave for it we could easily make one even on regular days since its just as easy as one, two three and bam! It’s all ready. Dig in and get the sugar high sensation.  There’s tons of ways to make one. I wish you could make a tasty one out of this posted recipe.


Ingredients:
1 can evaporated milk
1 can condensed milk
10 egg yolks
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract or lemon essence

Caramel syrup:
1 cup sugar (brown or white)
¾ cup water

Instructions:
1. In a sauce pan, pour the ¾ cup water and add the sugar. Bring to a boil until caramelized.
2. Pour the caramel mixture into your desired mould (llanera) - oval, circle, or square.  Spread the caramel mixture covering the whole base of the mould.
3. In a separate pan.  Pour the evaporated milk, condensed milk, the yolks and the vanilla extract or lemon essence. Blend them well either by hand or by using a blender.
4. Gently pour the mixture on the tin moulds about 1 to 1 ¼ inch thick. Cover the top with an aluminum foil.
5. Steam the leche flan about 20 minutes or more.  Using a toothpick, insert it in the leche flan and when it comes out clean, then your leche flan is already cooked.
6. Refrigerate.
7. To serve up:  run the knife around the edges to loosen the leche flan. Get a platter, place it on top of the mould and flip the leche flan upside down facing the fair brown caramel mix on top.

Taco Salad

Taco Salad is best for merienda or side dish. I have just known this dish/snack and to my surprise, it makes me crave for more! It’s quite easy to make only that if you make only a few, you’ll regret it in the long run because really, it’s very delicious. It’s that one food that makes your family or friends gather and have something to talk about. The crispy chips are so good to mix in to the salad, and the veggies taste so scrumptious mixed together with the tomato sauce. Feel free to try this recipe and add different veggies or flavor to your own ingredients. This salad can absolutely be modified depending on the demands of your taste buds. Come on and make one and let me know what y’all came up to. Enjoy


Ingredients:
3 pieces garlic, minced
1 head onion, diced
½ kilo ground beef
2 medium cabbage, thinly sliced in strips
1 big white onion, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
3 cucumber, diced
5 medium green tomatoes, diced
1 box cream cheese
1 box cheese, shredded
1 pack tomato sauce
1 pack tomato paste
1 pack Italian Spaghetti sauce
1 pack Mister Chips
taco mix

Instructions:
1. Gather all the cabbage, tomatoes, white onions, and bell pepper. Mix well and set aside.
2. On a frying pan. Sauté onion and garlic until golden brown. Add the ground beef; wait for a few minutes until beef turns brown. Remove excess fat from the beef.
3. Continue cooking and add the taco mix. Pour the tomato paste, tomato sauce and spaghetti sauce. Simmer and boil the sauce for 5-8 minutes.
4. Add the cream cheese and half of the grated cheese. Wait for a minute of two.5. Pour all the sauce onto where the veggies are. Mix well.
6. Crush the Mister chips. Not too crushed, just enough to mix into the salad. You can also choose not to crush the chips, instead use the chips to spoon the salad. It works either ways though.
7. Upon serving, place on a platter and sprinkle with the grated cheese.
8. Dig in and enjoy!
