This Guamanian fried rice get it’s rich flavor from crispy chicken flavored tofu(the original recipe used chicken, I veganized it) and mushrooms, vegetables and lots of soy sauce. Simple and incredibly delicious! From the island of Guam in Micronesia.
This Guam Mariana Island Chamorro latiya dessert cake is a scrumptious combination of pound cake, egg custard, and cinnamon. It’s the perfect cake to make ahead of time as it keep well in your fridge for two days before serving.
Substitute chard or kale and spinach if you don’t have access to a West Indian market and can’t access the calalloo leaves (taro leaves). This is a trademark of Trinidad where crab and callaloo is the national dish. Served with rice, or macaroni pie, coo-coo or a selection of local root vegetables. Trini’s have this iron rich soup at least once a week, usually on a Sunday. Can be made in advance and freezes well.
I found this delicious recipe in the Margaret Fulton Cookbook. I didn’t have any mustard seeds, so subbed a teaspoon of English mustard; and subbed a teaspoon of curry powder for the garam masala. We had it with a Thai red prawn curry and steamed rice, but it is often served as a main dish for vegetarian meals. Edited 16 December to include salt and paprika in ingredients.
This is a quick and easy weekday dinner. Mild curry with refreshing topical flavors. Great served over basmati rice.
