We all know how hard is this to be in quarantine life. We have money left but we don't till when it last if the quarantine still on going. The best thing to do is to save money for future needs. If you want to save money of course you must cook or eat food that is affordable. Yes, there's support from the government but it's not that much, I know.
To make sure you can save money. You must learn food that is not expensive but still good to eat. But it doesn't mean it's not delicious. It will be depends on what kind of cuisine you used to eat. I'm just wondering if you want to learn how to cook cheap food. It's perfect for this cuisine because the food that the government gives us were canned goods or noodles.
Before I'll teach you how to cook it. Let's have the ingredients first.
1 piece each
It's up to you how many sardines you will use.
It's up to you how much kg you will use but make sure at least 1/4 kg.
Let's stop for the other ingredients first and let's start cooking.
The basic ingredients in cooking this kind of food is cooking oil. We need oil because we will stew it. It's up to you in predicting how much amount of cooking oil you'll use. But make sure it's not too much or else it will make the food oily.
Now, place the pot into the fire. When the pot is heated, put the cooking oil. When the cooking oil is already hot place the basic ingredients of it. The onion and garlic to make the food smells good. After placing the garlic and onions into the heated oil. Wait until their colors will change and the smell of these spices will smell good.
When the garlic and onion is now being cooked. Put now the sardines into it. Just a little bit of mixing it in the pot. Wait for at least 3-5 minutes before you will decide that the sardines is glod to go.
You're done waiting of at least 3-5 minutes. Put now some water on it. Make sure a lot of amount of water because the pancit will absorb too much of water. You can put the pancit right after you put water into the pot. How to recognise that the pancit is good to go? You can taste it to make sure of it or you can see it that it's expanding.
Now wait for it that the pancit is good to go. When it's good to go, we will now the basic seasonings. Of course one of them is soy sauce or salt. Salt is fine but I prefer soy sauce because of it's taste.
After placing the seasonings you only meed to do is to wait. Wait that the pancit is good to go. Of course it won't be cook if the water won't get boiled. In deciding if it's already cook will be about your judgement. Taste it to be so sure that it's good to go.
There you have it the basic way of cooking this simple and cheap food. That's it for now, thank you for reading..
