Beef Teriyaki Tapa with Fried Rice and Egg

Beef teriyaki tapa with fried egg is another version of tapsilog that I want to share with you. This
makes use of beef steak (that was sliced thinly) and our homemade teriyaki sauce. The result is a
delicious sweet tapsilog that I always enjoy to have.

I got the beef steak already prepared. Apparently, the nearby Mexican meat shop has this beef cut
ready. It is called beef taco meat. It is intended for beef tacos and burritos, but we can leverage
on it to make whatever we like. That is the reason why I used it to make this beef teriyaki tapa.
Chances are that other wont be as privileged. Dont worry because you just need to buy a good
kind of meat (like rib eye steak) and slice it yourselves, or even ask your butcher to do it for you.
I hope that I was as privileged when it comes to the availability of fresh seafood and Asian
vegetables. I needed to travel far from where I am at in the suburbs of Chicago for these.

Tips on How to Cook Beef Teriyaki Tapa with Fried Rice

and Egg

The beef will need to be marinated in teriyaki sauce. The recipe below will tell you how it can be
done and a link is also available for you to see the homemade teriyaki sauce recipe. My only tip
about marinating beef (and most meats in general) is that it will absorb most of the flavor when
marinated for longer hours.
When cooking the beef, it is normal for liquid to come out of the meat. These are the natural
juices and the marinade. Continue to cook the meat in medium heat until the juices completely
evaporates. This will help make the meat tender and tastier. The beef will be tenderized by the
boiling process, while the evaporation of liquid will make the sauce more saturated which means
more flavor.
The garlic fried rice is made using the Filipino way sinangag. You can refer to the link below
on how its done or you can also check out this sinangag recipe.
There are more than a hundred ways to cook eggs. I included a link in the recipe that will give
you an idea on 10 of the ways to cook eggs. It is up to you to choose.

Meatball Adobo with Shrimp Fried Rice and

Egg
Meatball Adobo with Shrimp Fried Rice and Egg is something that I came-up with after
combining two dishes that I recently prepared. I had this meal for breakfast and it was the first
time that I will be having both together as a meal.

Meatball Adobo or adobong bola-bola and shrimp fried rice might not be that common, but these
two make a delicious pair and I really loved it. I consider the fried egg as a bonus or something
that they call the icing in the cake.

I tried the meatball adobo with steamed rice and it was just okay. I mean, it was good, but not as
exciting at it was when having it with fried rice. The fried rice can stand on its own since there
are many ingredients in it that make it tasty, but having both together is really wonderful. It is
like eating longganisa fried rice and pork tocino at the same time or even bacon and egg fried
rice with pork asado.

Fried Rice
All of us have our own concept of fried rice. In my case, I had this notion ever since I was a kid.
Fried rice to me is not as simple as it sound; it is a medley of different ingredients collaborating
together to produce colorful and great tasting rice dish. I held on this idea for the longest time
and it influenced me in many ways.

As you might have noticed, I am a huge fan of ham and egg. I try to incorporate these ingredients
in my dishes when I have the chance. I guess that it was also a reason why I liked this fried rice
concept.
If you like fried dishes such as fried pork chop, fried chicken, or even fried fish, this fried rice
recipe goes well with them. It is also perfect as a stand-alone meal because it has all the

components of it. Before I forget, I just had lumpiang Shanghai with my fried rice for dinner and
I thought that the pair was amazing.

Creamy Chicken Sopas

There is nothing like having a bowl of hot Creamy Chicken Sopas to make you feel warm and
comfy on a cold day, especially during this time when the temperature outside starts to get chilly.
This recipe should be able to help you cook a delicious sopas that you can serve to the entire
family.

This Creamy Chicken Sopas Recipe makes use of boneless chicken breasts and hot dogs. You
may use bone-in chicken breast with skin too. Just make sure to remove the bones later on while
you are shredding the meat. The hotdogs are nice to have. It also helps makes the dish look
colorful and festive.
It is important for chicken sopas to be flavorful and have that nice solid chicken taste. This is one
of the reasons why I am using chicken cube for this recipe. The evaporated milk, on the other
hand, makes this soup dish rich and creamy; it also a distinctive ingredient that makes Filipino
chicken macaroni sopas unique from other chicken noodle soups.

I recommend that you try to consume your sopas in one sitting. If there are leftovers, chances are
that the macaroni will absorb the liquid overtime. You will have a bloated macaroni noodle dish
the next day with almost no liquid left. You can add more water and milk, but this can make the
macaroni soggy.
Try this Creamy Chicken Sopas Recipe. Enjoy!
