Quick Fix Salsa

My aunt came 15 minutes before our New Year's Eve dinner with a big bag of tortilla chips and said, "Do you have any dip?".

We didn't have anything prepared, and even though it was good enough on its own, the chips need one more thing: SALSA! 

My mom and I used to make homemade salsa before so it shouldn't be problem, unless you weren't expecting to make it so soon and not knowing if you had all the needed ingredients. But hey, I managed to make a quickie version of the salsa in 15 minutes' time with whatever I could find in the fridge, so there XD

Tortilla chips aren't tortilla chips without this

Quick Fix Beef Siomai Mami

I toyed with the idea of adding 'stuff' to my usual bowl of instant noodles.

My uncle used to do that with his Beef Mami; saute some onions and slices of beef, then mix in his favorite mami packet. It wasn't 'authentic' mami but definitely more delicious than the usual instant fare. 

I don't have beef nor onions at hand in the office though, let alone a frying pan and working stove, so had to make do with something simpler.

siomai + mami = yey!

Quick Fix Stir-Fry Pancit Canton

One thing that's probably better than good old instant pancit canton is stir-fried pancit canton. I had one once at a free taste stand in the supermarket; I can't remember the brand but I do remember liking the way they stir-fried the noodles in hot oil until they became crisp (almost crunchy).

I tried making my own version at home and came up with something pretty good :p
