'Nilaga' Stew with Bok Choy

Ingredients:

4 and 1/2 cups water

1/2 tsp salt

1 baby Bok choy stalk

1/8 of a medium onion

1/8 of a small cabbage

1 slice (about 1 inch thick)

.95 lbs of boned-in pork chops (about 1 lb)

pepper to taste

The original dish does not have rice and is usually eaten with steamed rice. I added 2 tsp rice here (optional) while cooking as i do not plan to eat that much rice.

Procedure:

Heat a pot in low heat

Put the water and the pork in the pot.

Simmer for about 45 minutes in very low heat or until the pork is tender.

Add the onion.

(Add the rice at this point if you are cooking the stew with 2 tsp rice)

Simmer until the rice is cooked.

Add the plantain.

Simmer.

Add the cabbage and the Bok choy stems.

Turn off the heat.

Add the Bok choy leaves.

Cover the pot until the Bok choy leaves are cooked.

Serve with Braggs Liquid Aminos (or soy sauce) and lime juice as dipping sauce

Note: I used a little salt here because i used a dipping sauce while eating this dish made from Braggs Liquid Aminos (or use soy sauce) and key lime juice.

 Yield: 1 serving

 1/8 of a Medium Watermelon

===

I ate this at midday. The texture is firm.

It did not have much seeds and it was juicy. It also tasted sweet

i ate one and then i ate another slice until i finished 1/8 of a watermelon.

===

 1/2 of a Cantaloupe

===

I ate this after i ate the watermelon. 

I was still hungry, so, i went to the fridge and saw a Cantaloupe.

I peeled it and deseeded it. I was so hungry that i finished all of it.

Sweet Potato Sprouted Chia, 

Sprouted Quinoa and Corn Chips 

('Way Better' Brand )

===

I was looking for Mixed vegetable Chips - 

When my partner and i went to the supermarket, i saw the packet saying 

Sweet Potato but then when i was about to put it back, i saw the word "Tortilla' written on the packet. I cannot believe that there's a tortilla made out of Sweet Potato and Corn - i always see the tortillas made of corn. 

I kept looking at the packet.Then, i saw sprouted chia seeds and sprouted Quinoa. I decided to buy one.

I took the chips because i was intrigued by the combination of ingredients

Cage Free Bison Coffee Crusted : Wholefoods

===

I went to Wholefoods with my partner to buy some cage free pork BBQ ribs but then when we arrived

it was closing time, so i looked for meat at the produce department

I pointed on the meat and asked the guy working there if he had turkey or pork and he pointed on the cold cut Turkey.

I asked if this is Cage free. He said yes and then pointed at the Bison 

I asked if it is also cage-free, and he said 'yes'. 

He said it is Bison with an Espresso Crust.

I was surprised that it had an espresso crust because i heard some chefs doing it but never really tried it.

So, I asked him, 'did i hear you right? Did you say Bison using coffee as crust? 

He said 'yes'.

I asked what is Bison. He said it is Buffalo meat. I asked him if i can taste a little bit.

He said, 'yes', and gave me a sample to taste.

It tasted good. so, i bought 3 thin slices.

I ate it in the car. 

I was intrigued that even if they put espresso in the crust, i can't even 

taste it.

Vegan Sweet Potato Kale Corn Soup (Wholefoods)

with Kelp Noodles, Collard Greens, Coconut Cream powder, Balsamic vinegar  and Ginger

===

While at Wholefoods, I went to the soup department of the Prepared Food Section.
I got some Sweet potato Kale Corn Soup
I tasted it in the car but it was very bland.
I did not like the taste at all.
I did not like to throw it away because i will be wasting money.
So, i decided to add something to it so it will taste good.

I first put olive oil and balsamic vinegar and Braggs Liquid Aminos.

It was 'yucky'.
I tried to look at what could balance the taste of the soup where i can eat it and enjoy it.
I then looked at what goes well with vinegar
I know that back in the Philippines, we put vinegar and ginger in coconut milk.

So, i added coconut cream powder and finely chopped ginger.
I also know that we put greens in coconut milk. 

I saw the collard greens on the table so i sliced 1 big leaf thinly (chiffonade way) 

I had some Kelp noodles from my raw food stash so  i put it in.

It tasted good and the warm noodles was comforting to have for dinner while watching a movie with my partner
