Biringi / (birngi

This is one of my most loved foods. I remember that after my wedding in 2017, I asked my wife about the recipe and process of cooking biringi. She learned from her mother the way of cooking it, as she came from a family of great cooks. The best thing about this dish is that, once you get the finest ingredients fresh from the market, you will never go wrong in achieving the perfect taste. I believe if you get fresh ingredients and the correct texture of the malagkit rice, it will truly satisfy your taste buds.

It is done cooking when the liquid has cooked away, leaving only the soft glutinous rice. When the malagkit a lakatan is cooked, squeeze grated turmeric, to extract the juice, and pour this juice all over the malagkit a lakatad, while slowly stirring the mixture. .Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Add the cooked, cut up pieces of chicken and stir them into the rice until it turns brown. Cover the malagkit a lakatan with bulung saging, then cover the pot and continue to cook over a very low flame until the rice is fully cooked and all of the liquid has been absorbed. This is now called biringi,

Garnish with raw red and green bell peppers, raw carrots, and hard boiled eggs.

During my school days, my friends called me “Alice Kamatis” (just rhyming the words).I was usually first in line during assembly for Monday flag ceremony.. I’ll let you figure out why. My ambition was to be a lawyer, to defend and protect others in court But, as it turned out, I became a doctor. It was the same intention, but in a different way, to defend and protect others from illness. Hi, I’m Johnathan. I enjoy going to nightclubs, partying all night and participating in dances. Just kidding! I’m not fond of any of those things. More seriously, I’m just a simple guy that is easy to be with. I am a good listener and can give my time to anyone who needs a helping hand. I am a caring person for everyone, and for my family. To top it all off, I love to cook!
