Is there such thing as Pork Sopas? Here at Rice N Dine, we aim to promote innovation, creativeness, desire for new finds and passion for food! Or sometimes, we just ran out of chicken and pork’s the only meat left in the fridge. But either way, don’t you just love serendipity? I love how I can now tell my mom matter-of-factly how her good old … Continue reading Pork Sopas
One slightly colder day than the usual, John told me that he will be making Sotanghon Soup. I was expecting the one sautéed, clear soup and made with chicken. Thus I was surprised when this was served to me. It has pork instead of chicken and the liver gives the soup a slightly dark color.

We recently had a Stir-Fry Beef Sukiyaki (recipe is here, in case you miss it!) and we pondered over how Japanese-ier our meal would be if there’s a Miso Soup on the side. So the next day, we made some! It isn’t particularly a cold day. It’s actually rather warm and humid but we can only care less since we’re having a belated full Japanese … Continue reading Miso Soup
If I have to live the rest of my life eating only a single type of food, I would undoubtedly pick Sinigang! This Filipino food is my favorite for all times. It reminds me of rainy days where my family would be together for dinner, sick days when the aroma alone of the Sinigang would rouse me from my bed, and bad-days-turned-to-good-ones because of this … Continue reading Sinigang sa Miso Salmon Belly
