Today’s fast paced lifestyle has brought a lot of changes in the Filipino family, especially in their eating habits. The dining table is hardly used for the family meals because every member of the family has his own schedule. But these should not deter moms from preparing yummy yet economical and nutritious meals lest her family settle for the fast food lanes. Here is a time tested one-dish meal for busy moms: Menudo Rice Toppings!
Slice 1/2 kilo of kasim or pigue into small cubes, season with a pinch of salt and ground pepper then stir fry, remove from pan. Saute garlic, onions, tomatoes, carrots and bell pepper. Season to taste and remove from fire. Scoop a cup of rice, more if your kids have a hearty appetite, and place it in an airtight lunch box. Pour a good helping of Menudo on top, and presto! Meals on the go for the kids! They can bring it to school for recess or lunch, or perhaps eat it in the car whenever there’s a rush. Easy go, grow, and glow meals prepared with love by Mom!
