hi riders,

welcome (back?) to my cookbook. today, i am going to show you how to make stir fried bitter melon with egg.  In the Philippines we call it ampalaya. bitter melon can be overpowering, but that doesn't mean it cannot be as delicious as many other vegetables. this type of dish is normally served during breakfast, it is so good with rice!  as we filipinos, we always have rice with every meal, but you can also enjoy this dish without rice. it is just as good.

so, here are the list of what you will need to enjoy it. good luck and let me know if you end up making this dish. :)

ingredients:

• 1/2 portion of bitter melon (ampalaya)
• 3 eggs (you can use as many, or less, up to you)
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1/8 cup sliced onion
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 2 pieces scallions
• salt and pepper to taste

directions:

please refer to the video for the complete directions on how to make this dish. thank you all so much for coming back and i really really appreciate you all! love!

hey riders,

in this episode of in for the ride, i will show you my own way of making enchiladas! believe it or not, i used to really not like mexican food, in fact before i got here in the US, i had never had enchiladas. since then, my love for mexican food has grown, and now it is one of my favorite foods!

when i think of enchiladas, i thought of the cheesy sauce smothered on top of the burrito- that's enchiladas! but i don't think that is really how traditionally it's done. this is just my own way-- so, if you are interested on how to make this recipe, please head over to my youtube channel for the easy guide.

thank you so much and see you next time..

list of ingredients:

• bell peppers
• cilantro
• flour tortilla
• cheese
• enchilada sauce
• black beans
• diced tomatoes in can
• chili powder
• onion salt
• ground cumin
• sour cream
• 2 cloves of garlic
