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

have you riders heard of hotcakes? it is a filipino version of pancakes in the philippines! in so many places, pancakes are served for breakfast! but in the philippines, not only you see them at the breakfast table, but you can also serve it as a (morning and afternoon) snack (yes! filipinos love to snack-- but that's a different story)!

it is a popular street food in the philippines! not only because it is very inexpensive, but also because it is super easy to make. it's thin and fluffy and also has that egg yellow look in it. you can add food coloring, but to me it doesn't really matter as long as the taste is just as good as i can remember. it definitely was my favorite snack growing up.

if you have a sweet tooth, this is definitely for you! not only are hotcakes sweet, you also have to smother it with margarine or butter and sprinkle with lots of sugar before serving! yum!!

i've been making this recipe for a while now, so i decided why not share it with you riders, that way we can all enjoy the goodness of these hotcakes. :)

list of ingredients:

• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 egg
• 1 cup milk
• 1/4 butter or margarine
• 1/4 teaspoon yellow food coloring (optional)

directions:

1. in a bowl, combine all dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar). set aside.
2. in another bowl, combine all wet ingredients (milk, egg, and vegetable oil).
3. add the wet and dry ingredients and mix together until well combined.
4. heat the skillet to a medium low and lightly oil with cooking spray or butter.
5. scoop some batter mix and add to the skillet
6. you'll know when it's ready to flip if the center starts to bubble up. around 30 seconds each side.
7. move the hot cakes from the skillet to the plate and spread some butter or margarine. sprinkle with sugar on top and it's ready to serve.
8. best served while it's warm.

also, super good with coffee or orange juice!

yay! there you have it. let me know if you riders ended up making these delicious and super easy hotcakes.

i will make a video about this recipe soon!

hi guys!

in this episode, i am going to show you how i cook my own version of adobo. there are several ways to cook adobo, but i love mine because it is classic, easy, and fast to make. if you want to see how i made it, please go check my youtube channel. leave a comment as well and let me know how you guys like to cook your adobo. :)

ingredients:

• 1lb pork belly (cut into cubes)
• 4 bay leaves
• salt (to taste)
• pepper (to taste)
• 1/4 cup soy sauce (i only use philippine brand of soy sauce, as i notice the taste is a little different if i use other brands)
• 1/4 cup vinegar (preferably philippine brand)
• 1 tsp whole peppercorns
• 8 cloves of garlic (or more, depending on how you want to taste it like)
• 1 medium onion (chopped)
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil

directions:

1. combine soy sauce, vinegar, pepper corns, bay leaves and pork belly and let it marinade for 30 minutes to an hour. i like to use pork belly by the way, but this recipe you can absolutely use any type of meat you like.
2. after 30 minutes to an hour, the meat should be ready to cook. put some oil in a pot and sauté the onion and garlic ( i like to throw in the onion first since it cooks longer than the garlic).
3. once ready, throw in the pork belly (minus the sauce). JUST the pork belly. :)
4. mix all together and let it simmer until the meat is tender (according to your preference of tenderness) :P
5. then, add the marinated sauce into the pot and stir.
6. cover and let it cook until the sauce is thickened. (stirring occasionally)
7. add salt and pepper according to your taste.
8. and DONE! :D

i hope you enjoyed this recipe. it is so simple and very filipino. until next time!

Hi guys!

If you are looking for an easy, fast and simple waffle recipe, this video is for you! I made a single serving of waffle just for myself. You can make a lot of different types of waffles, so many you can see online. But this one is different. I made it so simple yet you can make it super delicious afterwards by adding different toppings according to your liking.

Below are the lists of ingredients:

• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon melted butter
• 1/2 cup all purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• pinch of  salt

I am using a waffle maker that i found on amazon which is super cheap and makes really good waffle. It will tell you when the waffle is done. :)

Hope you all have a great weekend and i will see you next time on my next post.

hey guys!

today i will show you how to make perfect white rice (in a rice cooker) without using a measuring cup.

while growing up, this is the way that i learned how to make white rice. we didn't have a measuring cup, so we always just used our fingers to figure out how much water to add after rinsing.

enjoy!

• first: pour the rice into the rice cooker bowl
• second: rinse the rice three times
• third: put your fingers in the bowl (as you can see in the video) and fill water to the first knuckle
• next: wipe the outside of the bowl dry
• fifth: set the rice cooker to cook and wait
• last: eat delicious rice!

did any of you also learn and use this technique? sign up and let me know in the comments!
