HAMBURGER RECIPES

I have 2 kinds of the burger recipe here. One is the “pang business” recipe and the other is a for home type -with more meat. If you wan’t to sell the second one as a premium burger option, you can also do so.

Burger Business Recipe

• 1/4 ground pork (a mix of pork at beef is the best!)
• 4 TBSP + 1 tsp of the Burger Quickmix  (if using a weighing scale, use  34 grams)
• 1/2 cup chopped onions (or more)
• 120 g breadcrumbs (1/2 c plus 1/3 cup)
• 2 eggs

Homemade Burger Recipe

• 1/4 ground pork with fats
• 1/2 cup chopped onions (or more)
• 4 tablespoon 1 tsp burger powder( you can adjust the seasoning according to your taste)
• 3 tablespoon breadcrumbs (optional)

Instruction.

1. Maintain the cold temperature of your ground meat while preparing all the other ingredients.
2. Cut up cellophane or plastic about the intended size of your burger so you will have a divider for every burger you make.
3. Mix all the ingredients and shape into a burger.
4. Fry and serve in a bun. Add vegetables such as lettuce and onions to hype up the flavor!

Notes:

You can make other recipes with this burger! Moms have reported making  Burger and Mushrooms. Slow Cooked Burger Soup, and Burger Steak ala Jolibee!

3. Add sesame oil.
4. Set aside in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
5. Wrap in Siomai / Dumpling wrappers. Each one should be 10 grams each.Yield should be at least 100 pcs.
6. Boil water in a steamer. Brush steamer with oil so Siomai wrapper wont stick. When water is boiling, add the Siomai. Add a layer of cloth before covering so steam wont fall on the Siomai. Time for 20 minutes.

Even cheaper costing!

Combi 2.

• 1/4 ground pork
• 200 grams squash
• 200 grams singkamas
• Siomai Biz Mix
• Extender
• 3/4 cup or 164ml Water
• 3 tbsp sesame oil

Same procedure.

NOTES:

Of all the vegetables we tried, my favorite is squash. It has no squash taste, but feel free to use others you prefer.

Use the largest size wrapper so your Siomai looks bigger.

Dont prepare the Siomai in front of an electric fan so your wrpper will not harden.

Freeze after cooking so it will last for 30 days. REMEMBER that this recipe has no preservatives.

Chili Garlic Sauce

Ingredients

• 1 pack instant chili garlic flakes
• 3/4 cup vegetble oil

Procedure:

1. Heat your oil.
2. Pour oil in the chili garlic. Our chili is not very hot. You can add more chopped chili if you prefer it spicier.

Special Siomai

• 800 grams Ground Pork with fat
• 2 small Carrots ( grated or minced)
• Spring Onions (minced)
• 82 grams Siomai QuickMix (1 pack)
• 2- 3 TBSP Sesame oil
• Wonton Wrappers (available in markets and Supermarkets)

Optional:

• 1 cup (or about 200 grams) grated turnips (singkamas), squeeze out the juice (optional)

Instructions:

1. Mix meat and singkamas. (if using)
2. Add the Siomai QuickMix
3. Add the sesame oil. Mix well.
4. Wrap the mixed ingredients in a Siomai wrapper. (14 grams each if measuring)
5. Top with carrots. (for those beautiful orange design you see on Chinese restaurants)
6. Brush your steamer with oil before arranging your Siomai on it. (Or else the Siomai will stick to the steamer and will result in a bold – este, Wrapperless Siomai.
7. Make sure to leave spaces so the dumplings will not stick together.
8. Boil the water first. After boiling, then you can add the steamer  with Siomai on it. Time it for 20 minutes in medium fire.
9. Cover with a cotton cloth or “lampin” before then secure the steamer cover on top. This is to avoid the steam water from falling into your Siomai.

Serve with soy sauce, calamansi and sesame oil. Chili sauce is a must!

Notes:

1. If using turnips or singkamas as extender – make sure to use lean ground pork because singkamas has water content and your Siomai will be moist and flat like my first one.
2. You can cook a large batch and freeze the dumplings in the freezer. Let it rest and cool before freezing. Consume within 30 days.  Remember, this has no preservatives, my Quick Mix are preservative free spices that is only designed to make it easier for the homecook! If not putting in the freezer, please consume immediately.
3. Oh, and another thing, when you’re wrapping your Siomai, make sure the wrapper is not exposed to too much air (like electric fan, or if you’re sosyal with an air conditioner in the kitchen hahaah!) The wrapper will harden and it will break when you’re wrapping the Siomai.

TOCINO RECIPE

• 83 grams of Tocino Quick Mix or if there is no weighing scale, measure 1/4 cup plus 4 tablespoon of our Tocino Quick Mix. (not the whole pack)
• 2 tablespoon white sugar or 25g
• Red food color for coloring (optional)
• 1/2 TBSP Gin
• 1 1/2 TBSP Pineapple Juice

*Instead of pineapple juice, some of my clients use half a sachet of Pineapple Tang powder plus the whole Tocino Quickmix pack.

LONGANISA

Skinless Longganisa( Hamonado Style)

• 1/4 cup vinegar (I used Datu Puti)
• 1/2 kilo LEAN ground pork >>Make sure its LEAN -shouldn’t have fats or else it will fall part)
• 1cup golden brown sugar (this helps with the color)
• Longanisa Quick Mix
• Longnisa Extender
• Red food color (optional)

Procedure

• Soak the extender just enough to make it moist. Dont let it float. About 2-3 minutes. Mix with the ground pork.
• Add the Longanisa Quick Mix.
• Add the vinegar
• Add the sugar
• Drop a couple of food coloring (if using)
• Put in the freezer for about 30 minutes to firm up the meat.
• Form into Longanisa sausage or even patties if you desire. I use the Ice Plastic that you can buy from the market and cut it up in 2. You can also use wax paper.
• If you’re selling these, weigh each one into 15 gms per sausage.
•  Fry in low fire so the sugar will not be burned.

HOW TO MIX FOOD COLOR.

Mix 1/4 teaspoon food color plus 1/8c water. You can also use atsuete but it’s pricier than food color.

Notes:

• You can add minced garlic if you want garlicky a Longanisa..
• If using hog casing, you can use 50-50 fat at lean for a juicier and yummier Longanisa.

Notes:

Personally, I like pan frying better than baking because it’s tastier.  The Shawarma Quickmix can make a kilo of meat but this recipe is only for 1/2 kilo. If you want to use all the mix, use 1 kilo of meat.

For sellers:

For each Shawarwa,  beef weight should be is 35 grams per pita bread. You can prepare this ahead and put in a plastic and freeze. Then you can just take out 1 pack and reheat everytime theres an order.

6. Flatten the dough using a rolling pin intil its thin enough. You can use a long bottle if you dont have a rolling pin.
7. Heat a non stick pan over medium heat. Dont put oil.
8. Put the Pita Bread on the hot pan and wait till you see some bubbles. Flip over.
9. This is ready to serve!

Notes:

You can put your bread in the freezer for up to two months. Make sure that it is in a sealed plastic so it will not dry out.
