The heart and soul of BBK are its mini bibingkas—bite-sized morsels of Filipino goodness that are incredibly moist and bursting with flavor. There's something utterly satisfying about these mini marvels that keeps me coming back for more.

Korean Glazed Tofu Delight: A Simple and Flavorful Plant-Based Recipe

Tofu has always been a versatile canvas for flavor, and recently, I stumbled upon a recipe that elevated it to new heights of deliciousness: Korean Glazed Tofu. With just a few key ingredients and a little creativity, I was able to create a mouthwatering dish that's now a staple in my kitchen.

@iamkimrodz Delicious Korean Glazed Tofu! A plant-based protein powerhouse that's not just easy to cook but also incredibly tasty. Perfect for a quick and satisfying meal! #PlantBased #TofuLove 😋 🌱 Korean Glazed Tofu Ingredients: 1 tbsp sugar 1 tbsp light soy sauce 1 tbsp dark soy sauce 1 tbsp sesame oil 3 tbsp water 1 tbsp gochujang 1 block firm tofu To garnish: Sesame seeds and spring onions #FoodiePH #manilafoodie #tofurecipes #koreanglazedtofu #homecooking #easyrecipes #plantbasedmeal #healthyrecipe #whatsforlunch #fyp #foryoupage #longervideos #recipesoftiktok #momsoftiktok ♬ original sound - Kim Rodriguez | Foodie Mom PH

 

Korean Glazed Tofu Ingredients:

1 block of firm tofu

3 tablespoon cooking oil (for frying)

1 tablespoons sugar

1 tablespoons light soy sauce

1 tablespoon dark soy sauce

1 tablespoon Gochujang (Korean red chili paste)

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1 teaspoon sesame seeds

2 spring onions, finely chopped

Instructions:

1. Prepping the Tofu:

Begin by pressing the tofu. This helps remove excess water and allows the tofu to absorb the flavors better. Place the tofu block between paper towels and put a weight on top. Let it sit for about 20-30 minutes.

2. Frying the Tofu:

Once the tofu is adequately pressed, cut it into bite-sized cubes. Heat a pan with cooking oil over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the tofu cubes. Fry them until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides. This typically takes about 5-7 minutes. Remove the tofu from the pan and set it aside.

3. Making the Glaze:

In a bowl, mix together the sugar, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, Gochujang, sesame oil, sesame seeds, and chopped spring onions. This is where the magic happens, as these ingredients combine to create a sweet, savory, and slightly spicy glaze that will coat the tofu perfectly.

4. Glazing the Tofu:

In the same pan you used to fry the tofu, pour in the sauce mixture. Heat it over medium heat until it begins to bubble. Return the fried tofu to the pan, gently tossing the cubes in the glaze to ensure they are evenly coated.

5. Serving:

Once the tofu is nicely glazed and heated through, it's ready to serve. I love garnishing it with a few extra sesame seeds and some chopped spring onions for a burst of freshness. I also put it on top of brown rice with vegetables on the side for more health benefits.

Why I Love This Recipe:

This Korean Glazed Tofu recipe has become one of my favorites for several reasons:

Simplicity: With just a handful of ingredients, it's incredibly easy and quick to make.

Flavor Explosion: The combination of sweet, savory, and spicy in the glaze is a taste sensation.

Versatility: You can enjoy this tofu as a side dish, in a rice bowl, or even in a wrap or sandwich.

Whether you're a tofu enthusiast or just looking for a delicious and satisfying meatless meal, give this Korean Glazed Tofu recipe a try. It's proof that a few simple ingredients and a bit of creativity can lead to culinary perfection.

A Culinary Adventure: Exploring Tiong Bahru's Delectable Offerings at Estancia Mall

There's something truly magical about discovering new flavors and experiencing a culture through its cuisine. Recently, I had the delightful opportunity to embark on a culinary adventure at Tiong Bahru, a renowned restaurant located in the heart of Estancia Mall. The menu was filled with tantalizing options, but I couldn't help but fall in love with the Classic Hainanese Chicken and the Roasted Chicken. Additionally, the Chicken Curry Quarter and Singaporean curry left me craving for more. In this blog, I'll take you on a journey through my dining experience at Tiong Bahru, highlighting the dishes that made my taste buds dance with joy.

@iamkimrodz Experience authentic Singaporean food and one of the best Hainanese Chicken at Tiong Bahru Philippines. We tried their Signature Hainanese Chicken, Roasted Chicken and their Chicken Curry Quarter. My most favorite is the Roasted Chicken. I love the crunchy skin and the slight sweetness of the sauce. Blends perfectly with the Hainanese rice. Love that it’s boneless chicken too.

The Classic Hainanese Chicken: A Delightful Introduction

My culinary journey at Tiong Bahru began with the Classic Hainanese Chicken, a dish that is as iconic as it is delicious. This traditional Singaporean dish is known for its tender and succulent chicken, cooked to perfection. What sets it apart is the aromatic rice, infused with chicken broth and served alongside flavorful sauces, including ginger and chili. The first bite of the chicken was a revelation - it was incredibly tender and practically melted in my mouth. The fragrant rice was the perfect complement, and the condiments added just the right amount of heat and spice. It was a delightful introduction to the world of Singaporean cuisine.

The Roasted Chicken: A Love Affair

While the Classic Hainanese Chicken was exceptional, the Roasted Chicken captured my heart even more. This dish featured tender chicken with crispy, flavorful skin that was simply irresistible. The secret behind this dish lies in the meticulous marination and roasting process, resulting in a perfect harmony of flavors and textures. Each bite was a symphony of savory and crispy goodness. The Roasted Chicken at Tiong Bahru quickly became my personal favorite, and I couldn't resist ordering it again during subsequent visits.

The aromatic blend of spices, coconut milk, and tender chicken created a rich and creamy curry that was nothing short of a flavor explosion. The heat level was just right, allowing the complex flavors to shine through. Paired with fragrant jasmine rice, this dish was a comforting and satisfying choice for those who crave bold, spicy flavors.

Singaporean Curry: A Must-Experience Culinary Adventure

For those who are passionate about curry, Tiong Bahru's Singaporean curry is a culinary adventure waiting to happen. The Singaporean curry is distinct from other varieties, featuring a unique blend of spices and flavors that reflect the multicultural influences of the city. Whether you choose to have it with chicken, seafood, or vegetables, the rich and aromatic curry sauce is a revelation.

Making Tamagoyaki with a Small Round Non-Stick Pan

 If you've ever been to a Japanese restaurant or enjoyed a bento box, you've probably encountered the delicious Tamagoyaki – a sweet and savory Japanese rolled omelette. Making Tamagoyaki at home may seem intimidating, but with a small round non-stick pan and a bit of practice, you can master this delightful dish. In this blog, I'll guide you through the steps to create your own Tamagoyaki right in your kitchen.

@iamkimrodz Watch me master the art of making Tamagoyaki - the delicious Japanese rolled omelette without a rectangular pan! 😋🇯🇵 #CookingAdventures #TamagoyakiMagic #FoodieFinds INGREDIENTS 4 eggs grated carrots chopped green onions salt and pepper to taste #FoodiePH #recipe #Tamagoyaki #japaneserolledeggs #japaneseomelette #eggrecipe #fyp #foryoupage #baonideas #breakfastidea #healthyrecipe #momsoftiktok #momlife #longervideos ♬ original sound - Kim Tan-Rodriguez

Ingredients:

3 large eggs

2 tablespoons sugar (optional)

vegetables of your choice (I used carrots and spring onions)

1 tablespoon mirin (sweet rice wine) (optional - I didn't use this in my recipe)

pinch of salt

A small amount of neutral cooking oil (such as vegetable oil)

Tools:

Small round non-stick pan (Tamagoyaki pan if available)

Silicone spatula or wooden spatula

Whisk

Mixing bowl

Paper towel or kitchen towel

Small plate for serving

Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

Start by gathering all your ingredients and tools. Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and add the sugar, mirin, a pinch of salt, and veggies of your choice. Whisk the mixture thoroughly until the sugar dissolves completely. Your sweet and savory Tamagoyaki base is ready!

Step 2: Heat the Pan

Place your small round non-stick pan on the stove over low to medium heat. It's crucial to keep the heat low to prevent burning and ensure even cooking. Add a small amount of cooking oil and spread it evenly across the pan using a paper towel or kitchen towel.

Step 3: Pour and Cook the First Layer

Once the pan is heated and the oil is shimmering, pour a thin layer of the egg mixture into the pan. The amount you pour depends on the size of your pan, but it should be just enough to coat the bottom. Tilt the pan to ensure the egg mixture covers the entire surface evenly.

Step 4: Roll the First Layer

As the edges of the egg start to set but the middle is still slightly runny, use a spatula to fold over one-third of the omelette towards the center. This folding creates the first layer of your Tamagoyaki.

Step 5: Add Another Layer

Now, pour a bit more of the egg mixture into the pan, making sure it flows under the first layer. Tilt the pan again to spread it evenly. Let the new layer start to set at the edges.

Step 6: Roll and Repeat

Once the edges of the new layer begin to set but the middle is still slightly runny, roll the omelette from the first fold towards the center of the pan. This rolling action creates layers in your Tamagoyaki.

Step 7: Continue the Process

Repeat steps 5 and 6 until you've used all of the egg mixture. Remember to keep the heat low to prevent overcooking or burning. Your Tamagoyaki should have multiple layers when done.

Step 8: Shape and Serve

Once you've rolled all the layers, use your spatula to shape the Tamagoyaki into a neat rectangular shape. Carefully transfer it to a plate.

Step 9: Slice and Enjoy

Let the Tamagoyaki cool slightly, then slice it into bite-sized pieces using a sharp knife. Serve your homemade Tamagoyaki with some soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce. Garnish with sliced green onions or pickled ginger if desired.

Conclusion:

Congratulations! You've successfully made Tamagoyaki using a small round non-stick pan. With practice, you'll perfect the art of rolling and shaping this Japanese delicacy. Now, you can enjoy the sweet and savory flavors of Tamagoyaki anytime you want, right in the comfort of your own kitchen.
