International Food Fest

So here we were, one day, when my friend came to visit me at elbi and my sis was itching for an international meal. So I decided to cook an international menu made up of indian chicken and veggie curry in mexican tortilla, cheesy spanish jalapenos, italian beef red pasta, vietnamese fresh spring rolls with atchara sauce and pinoy juice and buko salad.

I only have pics of the two (main) meals: the spring rolls and the tortillas.

Ingredients for the rolls:

pinoy version since they're bigger

vietnamese rice paper (bought in Vietnam but i think there's some in malls)
toge
bihon
fresh basil leaves
crab flakes (or sticks or fresh fish/ chicken or whatever meat you would like)

for the sauce, you can make your own peanut sauce or just use the achara sauce. it worked for us

just roll everything in the rice paper and you're done! simple, fresh and healthy!!!



INgredients for the chicken-veggie curry in tortillas:
chicken giniling
curry powder (bought in Singapore but you can use any kind)
chili flakes (for added spicyness)
garlic
onions
tomatoes
and basically any kind of veggies you want; i used potatos, sayote, carrots, bell peppers
quick melt cheese

sorry cant see the inside but really good

Cut all veggies in cubes. Make curry paste by adding powder with water. Cook the garlic and onions first then add the potatoes, sayote and carrots until soft. add chicken giniling until cook. add curry paste. Combine the remaining ingredients and add salt and chile flakes to taste. Roll chicken curry in tortilla, grate cheese on top, close the tortilla and heat in oven toaster. Eat up!

inspired by what i ate in elbi square

Our cheesy jalapenos is easy to do: just cut cheese into sticks, cut chili peppers into halves and take out seeds (or leave a few for more spicyness), put cheese inside chilis then cover with lumpia wrapper. Fry and get ready for a spicy appetizer!

<< this is how it will look like

So I tried to make our menu sound really international-y (what in the world is cheesy spanish jalapenos??) but hey, try it yourself. better yet, invent your own set of menu!
