Better Me Recipe Swap with Lee Kum Kee

With a wide variety of sauces to choose from, surely I will be able to create some new dishes my family will enjoy.

With a wide variety of sauces to choose from with Lee Kum Kee, surely, I will be able to create some new dishes that my family will enjoy.

I love sharing recipes with my momma friends. It’s like an added bonus to your kitchen prowess if you can take a recipe from a friend that is tried and true, and make it your own. (That’s what you do right? You make it your own?) When I ask for a recipe from a friend, I usually tweak it just a bit so that it fits my family’s taste and is even easier for me to make. 

It’s like the recipes we share make me BETTER in the kitchen…And anything that makes me better is a good thing…just like BETTER ME.

So when my friend Kris over at OC Mom in Manila, asked me if I wanted to participate in a Recipe Swap, I said YES, of course!

Recipe Swappers 🙂 Eli, Michelle, Suzi and myself

You know what I loved about all of the recipes that each of us shared? THEY WERE SO DARN EASY! AS IN…SOOO EASY. I feel like if I had to whip up a quick meal, I could make all of the items that we learned (because they kinda fit together) and everyone would be really happy.

Suzi made a Thai Omelet using the Panda Oyster Sauce.

Confession: I have only used Lee Kum Kee in the house for five different recipes.

  1. I have used the Hoisin Sauce for steamed bok choy.
  2. I have used the sachet for Lemon Chicken.
  3. I have used the sachet for Spare Ribs.
  4. I have used sesame oil in a variety of different recipes, including a recipe that I came up with for the kids lunch boxes for Appetite magazine with Nina Daza. (Look for that recipe in the June issue, kay?)
  5. Oh-and one more-I have use the XO sauce on steamed broccoli with garlic.
Michelle shared a quick and easy tofu recipe.

Michelle shared a quick and easy tofu recipe.

But-I have always been unsure of myself when it comes to using the Panda Oyster Sauce. Because it is oyster sauce, I always thought that since it was OYSTER sauce, that it was best with seafood. Boy, was I wrong!

I shared a grilled salmon recipe that I had made earlier in the week with my friend Christie.

As many of you know, my comfort food has always been Italian American in nature. I have enjoyed experimenting with mostly European flavors and have rarely ventured into Asian Cooking. I am a little bit more brave now in my cooking skills…Nina helped me explore that side of my cooking, and now with the help of Lee Kum Kee, I have an even greater confidence in experimenting with Asian flavors in the kitchen.

And Eliza made a quick asparagus stir fry. It was so fast, that Eli was able to drink one glass of wine while she was preparing the tasty side dish.

In fact, when I was speaking with my friend Kaye, she mentioned that I should even try using the Oyster Sauce in dishes that I would make like adobo!

Can you say MIND BLOWN?

Seriously. I would have never thought to add these sauces to Filipino dishes!

And

And all these lovely ladies were all chatting while we were eating. It’s so amazing how each of us has different ways to use the same sauce…and I was taking notes from some of the other moms…it’s always nice to get ideas and inspiration from other Mommas. L-R: Kris, Michelle, Eli, Tin, Suzi, Shiao Chew Chan Didi, Kaye, Moi, Michelle, Rowena, Shen, Loren, and Karen Mejia.

Surely, I will be sharing more recipes as I perfect them with these sauces. Seriously??? SO DARN EASY! AND…packed with flavor!

untitled-4016leekumkee

Shiao Chew Chan, Southeast Asia Regional Category Manager for Soy, from Lee Kum Kee, explains a little bit about the company.

Ok, so part of the reason why all these sauces are so packed with flavor is their fermentation process.

Here’s some trivia and facts for you:

  • Lee Kum Kee is a family owned business that began in 1888
  • LKK is on its 5th generation of family members who look after the company. (That’s keeping it in the family!!!)
  • The LKK Premium Soy Sauce uses only the finest quality soy beans.
  • LKK Soy Sauce has to naturally ferment from 100-200 days to reach optimum flavor.
  • Panda Oyster Sauce is the leading oyster sauce ALL OVER THE WORLD that consumers know and buy and use in their own kitchens.

And just in case you were curious what we all contributed to our Recipe Swap, we have prepared this lovely little cook book. I LOVE IT! You can print the whole thing out and keep it for the books.

Note:  For my pan grilled Salmon dish, you can make a few adjustments if you have to. You can bake it, broil it, or even grill it on a BBQ grill. The way I originally made this dish with my friend Christie was atop a soaked cedar grilling plank. It was lovely. 

Recipe Swap Cook Book

Here’s the thing: Lee Kum Kee Philippines is running a fantastic contest where you will be able to win a ton of loot for your kitchen, if you are creative enough.

Remember, the photo contest is also based on CREATIVITY. So prepare your yummy dish using ANY LKK product AND post on their FACEBOOK PAGE using the correct hashtags. Also-if your account is set on private-they won’t be able to find your photo no matter HOW many hashtags you use so if you wanna win, set your account to public.

GOOD LUCK!

I have always been intimidated by Cornish Hens. Th I have always been intimidated by Cornish Hens. Through this learning exercise with @usapeecphl, I have learned a bit more about these little birds that have bigger breast parts, and thank you Chef @ivoryyat for showing me how easy it is to prepare Greek Lemon Roasted Cornish Hens with Roasted Potatoes.
 
Clean and fresh flavors are perfect for these smaller birds that are rich in protein with zero carbs. Try the recipe in the comments section. I’m sure you’d enjoy it as much as I did!
 
Interested in U.S. Cornish Hens? You can buy them in stores near you. #CornishHen #USCornishHen #PoultryPerfection #CookingWithUSPoultry #USPoultry #USAPEECPHL #ad
@gi.aventajado and I played with some of the @pura @gi.aventajado and I played with some of the @puratosph products that they sent over the other day. Ready to use Bavarian Cream made these Cream Puffs easier than ever. I think we have to figure out how to temper our couverture better…

@mommymundo always has a way of bringing together @mommymundo always has a way of bringing together just what we need, no matter the time of year. Loving these photos of my first boy that were snapped @expomom.

Anyone else thinking about #HolidayPhotos? I am not one of those moms that has it all together before Christmas. It’s usually a mad dash for us at the end of the year, but if it’s anything that the past few years has taught me, it’s that the little things are what makes the Christmas special.

Many of us haven’t been together with the extended family or even our immediate family in so long. That means it’s the perfect time to document.

@nextbymetrophoto will be hosting one last Christmas Marathon family photo shoot before the end of year. Check them out or shoot them a message. They have some cute set-ups.
****GIVEAWAY ALERT*** 10 things I LOVE about @sed ****GIVEAWAY ALERT***

10 things I LOVE about @sedahotels listed here and on FB!

1. Each property has a Signature Dish. If you can’t make it to Bacolod, you can still enjoy Chicken Inasal in any of their properties.

2. Clean Design. So easy to work and play in a space that is light, modern, and clean in design. 

3. Beautiful views. Every chance I got, I would sit outside at @straightupatseda. 

4. Spacious Rooms and Residence Stays. Staying in the Three Bedroom Premier was perfect for our family. 

5. Attentive Service. Everyone was pleasant and accommodating.

6. Centrally Located. If you are thinking of fun things to do in Makati and want a home base, Seda Residences Makati is near a few of the museums, parks, and malls.

7. Work with ease. Internet service is uninterrupted. Meeting rooms are available and easy to book.

8. Relax and Play. From mid-day tubbies with Gelli to, taking advantage of the pool, or the children’s room, the little girl had more than enough things to keep her busy!

9. #FamilyTime. Spending an extended amount of time outside our own space led to laughter, fun conversations, and opportunities to try new things. We were comfortable and rested in the space we were in, which meant more opportunities for us to connect.

10. Homegrown with a Purpose. A Filipino brand that understands the importance of both work and travel, each property is important to the city & province location. Environmentally aware by adopting Mayumi, a Philippine Bald Eagle. 🦅

Is there anything better than a stuffed turkey at Is there anything better than a stuffed turkey at this time of year? Whole turkeys require serious commitment to cook. #IYKYK But because U.S. Poultry is now available here in the Philippines, that also means preparing turkey is a tad bit easier.
 
Frozen U.S. turkey products are available and ready to cook for people who want to dabble with flavors for this bigger bird but aren't sure how.
 
Thank you to Chef @ivoryyat for putting together a medley of my favorite fall flavors. This combination of apples, sweet potatoes, and maple syrup perfectly compliment  the roasted turkey leg and remind me of flavors and scenes from back in New York. 
 
@usapeecphl l has the highest standards that follow USDA requirements which are certified safe before shipping to the Philippines. Get them in stores near you.
