Mekeni Picnic Hotdog “Bistek” Recipe

We love Mekeni Picnic hotdog and I know you kayo din. We love it as it is fried but sometimes, we tend to look for variance di ba? And since my husband and kids love bistek, I thought why not with hotdog?

The amount of hotdog you need is based on your family’s hotdog capacity. Rule of thumb, 1 medium sized onion is good for 3 pcs hotdog 🙂

Mekeni Picnic Hotdog “Bistek” Ingredients:

6 pcs Mekeni Picnic Hotdog Jumbo
2 pcs medium sized onion, sliced as rings
2 tbsp soy sauce
kaunting paminta (isang kurot lang)
spring onions for garnishing

Sa totoo lang, sobrang dali nito i prepare. What we like about this this recipe is giving our favorite hotdog some tasty sauce. Minsan kase di ba, masarap kung may kaunting sauce or sabaw ang ulam.

Sa sobrang dali, I think even your kids can do this with supervision sa paghihiwa:

Slice the hotdog and cook it for 3-5 minutes.
Add onions and soy sauce. Stirring from time to time.

Turn off heat when onion is cooked (around 5 minutes).
Serve with spring onions on top and rice of course

We also tried with fried rice and we like it better with it.

Enjoy More Guiltless with Mekeni Gluten-Free Chicken Longanisa

I recently attended an online event from Mekeni Food Corporation, entitled “Enjoy More, Guiltless.” The event features Regina Latt, Senior Dietitian at the St. Luke’s Medical Center; and Chef Vince Garcia, President and CEO of Chef Vince Garcia Culinary Group to help moms on how we can serve healthier yet easy-to-prepare foods.

I really enjoyed the cooking session with Chef Vince. He shared a nutritious recipe using Mekeni Gluten-Free Chicken Longanisa as the main ingredient called Mekeni Gluten-Free Chicken Longanisa Casserole. From the looks of it, I think this is something that my kids will like.

Before the event, I was also able to share a recipe using Mekeni Gluten-Free Chicken Longanisa as the main ingredient. I prepared Mekeni Gluten-Free Chicken Longanisa Creamy Pasta. It was actually a left over from our breakfast and made its way to the snack table.

It is so simple that even your kids can prepare it. The ingredients are cooked and sliced Mekeni Gluten-Free Chicken Longanisa, crushed garlic, thinly sliced onion, pasta cooked according to packaging, all purpose cream, salt and pepper.

How to cook Mekeni Gluten-Free Chicken Longanisa Creamy Pasta:

Saute garlic and onion.
Add Mekeni Gluten-Free Chicken Longanisa and stir for a few minutes.
Add a pack All purpose cream.
When the sauce starts to simmer, season with salt and pepper then toss the pasta.

I usually serve mine with crushed pepper and parmesan cheese.

This is actually my first time to try Mekeni Gluten-Free Chicken Longanisa and though at first I thought it would taste bland, surprisingly, it is very tasteful. I learned from the online event that Gluten is not new.

“It is always present in the grains that we know like rye, barley, and wheat. It’s in products like bread, sauces, condiments, salad dressings, pasta, pizza, processed foods, beer, and in meat products that are processed with extenders and added flavorings or colorings.” Senior Dietitian at the St. Luke’s Medical Center, Regina Latt explained. She noted that following a gluten-free diet may help in losing weight, reducing total caloric and sugar intake, managing diabetes, and reducing bloatedness.

“It is important to note, however, that for any diet concerns or any diet changes that you would like to do, it is important to consult with a doctor or a licensed nutrition professional to help you with that, especially if you have existing medical conditions,” she said.

Knowing about it, I am now more open to include gluten free food like Mekeni Gluten-Free Chicken Longanisa to our grocery list. Speaking of, you can get your Mekeni Gluten-Free Chicken Longanisa in 250g and 500g packs in leading supermarkets, wet markets, online stores, and Mekeni’s Home2Home delivery now and share your winning recipe in the Mekeni Guiltless Cook-Off!

This plant has calcium oxalate that causes toxicity when the plant is poorly handled or ingested by accident. The sap of these plants may cause erythema. It makes your skin feels like there are tiny needles prickling your skin. So I suggest that whenever you are handling this plant, make sure you are wearing gardening gloves to avoid the sap getting on your hands.

Jade plant or succulents are very cute, colorful, and it has plenty of varieties to choose from. Although they are mildly poisonous to humans, they can be very dangerous to our house pets.

Taking care of plants is good for the environment because it supplies us with more oxygen. But having these beautiful yet lethal indoor plants when you have infants and pets is quite risky. If you still want these plants in your household, then put it somewhere they can’t reach it. And just in case some of their saps get on your hand or skin, wash it quickly with liquid dishwashing soap. Dishwashing liquid soaps are more effective in washing away plant saps. There is nothing wrong with taking care of these poisonous indoor plants. You just have to be careful with handling them. Happy planting plantitas and plantitos!
