i will show you how to make a classic martini. i think traditionally (i'm not so sure) martini should not be shaken, but this is how i learned how to make it. trick for a long day is to come home with a glass of martinis. it's proven in my household. :P and oh, don't forget to garnish with a jalopeno olives, it's the best! also, if you want to be a little dirty, splash with olive juice! ;)

ingredients:

• 4 oz gin
• 1/3 oz vermouth
• ice
• jalopeno olives (garnish)

instructions:

1. put ice on a shaker.
2. add the gin and vermouth
3. shake until you can't bear the cold
4. pour into a martini glass
5. garnish with jalopeno olives
6. and serve!

super soft and fluffy!!

hi riders,

in today's episode, i will be showing you on how to make these super soft, fluffy and delicious japanese milk bread. this recipe is definitely not new to anyone, you can find this recipe everywhere in the internet. i made it the other day and my friends totally loved it. so i thought, why not share it with all my riders out there?! so let's go ahead and check all the ingredients! :)

list of ingredients:

• 3 cups all purpose flour
• 3 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 2 1/2 teaspoon instant dry yeast (1 packet)
• 1 cup warm milk
• 4 tablespoon (1/4 stick butter)
• 2/3 teaspoon salt

directions: (you can also watch the video for instructions - youtube video will be up soon)

1. combine milk and instant dry yeast and set aside.
2. mix the flour, sugar and the milk mixture until it forms like a dough.
3. then, add the salt and keep kneading. you can use stand mixer if you need to, but i am just using my hand to create the dough.
4. once it's all mixed, stretch the dough out and add the butter in the center of the dough. you want to make sure the butter is soft. this could get messy but it's okay, just keep kneading until the dough becomes soft and stretchy, the dough should not stick into your hand, if this happens add a little more flour.
5. put the dough into a bowl and let it rise for an hour or so or until it doubled in size. (tip: grease the bowl so that the dough wont stick)
6. once the dough is ready, cut into small sizes, i was able to make 12 pieces.
7. roll the dough into a ball.
8. then let it rise again for another 30 mins
9. pre-heat the oven to 350F
10. bake for 18 to 20 minutes.
11. and it DONE!

let me know if you will give this a try! :)

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 in cook with sai borg, i am going to show you how to make adobong gulay (vegetables with vinegar and soy sauce). this is is a little similar to pork adobo (adobong baboy), except we don't put meat on this dish. it is purely vegetarian friendly and so good. you can make this dish on your preferred vegetables. i used squash, bitter melon, eggplant and bok choy in this dish, not only these vegetables are rich in vitamins and minerals, they are also the vegetables we used to grow in our backyard growing up, so it kind of reminds me of home. :) below are the list of ingredients. enjoy!

ingredients:

• 2 pcs bok choy
• 1 pc eggplant
• 1/2 of a whole bitter melon
• 1/2 sliced squash
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1/4 sliced of a whole onion
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

you will also need:

• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup vinegar
• 1 cup water

salt (which i actually didn't have to use it because of the soy sauce i used) and pepper to taste.

hope you guys will love this dish, and if you end up making it, please tag me on facebook or instagram, i'd love to see your dish! :) thank you again for the support and until next time. :)
