Unlike crispy pata, this soup recipe requires the leg to be sliced crosswise – similar to that of paksiw na pata. I find Nilagang Pata comforting, especially when I have it during extremely cold days….

Product Review: KitchenAid Artisan Stand Mixer
KitchenAid’s Artisan Series Stand Mixer is one of the best kitchen equipments that I have. This stand mixer is unlike any other; it is durable, dependable, and always does a great job.
I have used other stand mixers before I got my KitchenAid. I never really paid attention to the good reviews thinking that they are all for marketing purposes. However, all my doubts disappeared when I started using it. I did not realize that KitchenAid Stand Mixer makes mixing and kneading very fast and easy. It has a unique mixing action wherein the beater spins clockwise as the shaft spins the opposite direction. This enables the beater to move around several directions which makes blending thorough. I also don’t need to hold and rotate the bowl while mixing. This makes me complete other important things while mixing or kneading. By the way, it is up to you to select your desired speed from the 10 speed options. Pretty neat, isn’t it?
Sizzling Pork Chop Recipe
I was thinking about food court foods the other day. I’m not sure why that thought came into my mind then I realized that I’m craving for Sizzling Pork Chop. This is what I usually order for lunch every time I’m in the food court.
Sizzling Pork Chop tastes good and is easy to prepare. The sizzling effect makes this dish more appealing. Aside from the pork chop, mixed vegetables, yellow rice, and gravy are necessary to complete this dish. For the vegetables, I used the fresh frozen mixed vegetables. I placed it in the microwave oven for 2 minutes to cook a little. I was able to come-up with great tasting yellow rice by combining steamed rice with margarine, garlic powder, salt, and a little paprika.
I want to write more about this dish but I can’t resist its inviting aroma. I better start eating while the plate is still hot. Happy cooking!
