My Mom makes this PERFECTLY back home. I’ve not come across anything 1/10 as good in New York.

KareKare is top 5 filipino dishes. Ang Sarap!

Food looks fire. I've kinda found its much easier to learn cooking by not measuring things. Its certainly a necessity for certain cases particularly baking. But for the average home cook stuff like stews, stir fry, and fried foods there's more freedom to explore your own palate vs different flavors and how all of it comes together. And I think it's especially valuable to learn how to improvise and adjust for different situations like when ingredients aren't available. Substitute x for y for similar flavors and the like.

Great, now I'm craving for some kare-kare 🤤

[@mcking2444]

Yum😊

[@lorahanks2229]

I've noticed a lot of Filipino dishes use peanuts. I don't have anything against them but it seems that the popular dishes that I get shown see to have them a lot. Ive thought about tweaking the dish because they're okay but I only really enjoy boiled peanuts. And maybe a pbj once a blue moon.

When you ask how much seasoning to add, they say "a little bit". And when you add a little bit they say "add more"

[@MomshieJC]

True.. i cook by feeling not with measurement 😅

[@waterisgold]

Ur dad is cool

[@jhingtoffee8072]

Sarap❤

[@kinglee8830]

Bro, my grandparents, grandma and her grandparents do the same thing

[@tommywayneee]

I think one of the reason why we dont have a standard measurement is because everyone has preference. For example, sinigang is noy the same everywhere as some households like it more sour than the others.

You’ll get more color out of anatto seeds if you fry it for a bit in oil.

The 👌

[@heland2228]

I don't measure either and sometimes don't taste it until the end.

[@EchoLog]

Nervous cooking? You're craving something you ain't had in forever. "When your ancestors tell you to": Yep, I know what that means. 😂

[@wunlee1512]

Friends often ask for my recipes and always struggle to give them a good answer hahaha. The recipes usually consist of a bunch of guesswork and maybe a missing ingredient or two, or some extra suggestions depending on their personal taste lol

[@Doopleloople]

As a black person i can confirm this is true for us as well

[@i.ghoost]

Filipino fathers cook way better than moms maybe because mas generous sila in terms of spices and yep they don't use measuring tools. Sorry Ma!

[@konnilol4]

As a European, as white as they come, I have to agree that you just cook and add stuff until it's right... Also... Rinse your rice.

[@isaiahmontes]

He browned and pounded the rice to use as a thickener. That's why he didn't wash it.

[@maestrosvtcarat]

Lol i count by pointing them one by one

[@enne4598]

Yup...that's why if I would cook adobo every day, it would taste differently each time😂

[@ellawright8691]

now I'm hungry :(

[@myrnawinters4573]

I only measure when I’m baking

[@ArohaStill]

Kare kare is the only Indian inspired dish in Philippines cuisine and my favourite.

[@pumpkinpatch5609]

Really?

[@icyshoyru6275]

It's not. The word curry does not exist in India and the sauce is far from curry. It's from Mexico. There's a dish in Mexico called lomo encachuatada which is exactly the same as Kare kare.

[@MyrrdinWylltEmrys]

You lost me at peanut butter. I'm out.

[@jammybearzzzz]

You forgot to say "Kain tayo" 🥹
