SteemFoods : How to Cook Bam-i (Step by Step) || My Personal Recipe

Hello Steemit Community! I hope you're having a great day today, wishing you good health wherever you are in the world.

Today, I will share to you my personal recipe of a classic Filipino cuisine that is always sold out to every occasion, Bam-i. This dish is a very popular dish in the Philippines most especially during holidays and birthdays for the Pancit Bihon, they say, signifies long life. This dish is good paired with rice or even for snacks.

These are ingredients needed:

1/4 cup Cooking Oil
250 grams Pork (sliced)
5 cloves garlic (pressed)
1 pc onion (sliced)
250 grams Chicken Breast (boiled with 2 cups water) set aside the chicken stock
1/2 cup soy sauce
250 grams Longi Sotanghon
250 grams Pansit Canton
100 grams carrots (sliced)
50 grams cabbage (sliced)
1 pack 30 grams oyster sauce
1 tsp ground black pepper
2 cups water
1 sachet Magic Sarap

So, let's start cooking!

First, you need to prepare the 2 cups of water in a pan.

Add the chicken breast and boil it for 5-7 minutes. The main reason I choose chicken breast so that we can have enough meat for the dish. After boiling, set aside the chicken stock because we will need this later.

Next, we need to prepare the ingredients needed. You will need a chopping board and a knife for the following steps.

Cut the pork into cubes. You can adjust the size of the cut based on your preference.

Cut also the spices, these are very essential in a dish because it will add an aroma to our Bam-i. Actually, you can have 2 garlic for this dish but because I love garlic so I used five. Pressed the garlic then slice it, as well as the onion.

Next is you need to cut the carrots into thin slices, lengthwise.

Do not forget our cabbage. Slice the cabbage into strips, we only need a half of a whole cabbage for this dish.

Prepare also our Longi Sotanghon and Pansit Canton. Preparing the ingredients like slicing it, cutting peeling and etc. before cooking is a French term Mise en place an essential part in cooking.

Okay now, in a heated pan put now the cooking oil and wait for it to heat first.
Note: Just have a medium fire for the whole process.

Then add the sliced pork. Wait for the pork to turn into golden brown.

Next, add the spices which are the onion and garlic. This will give an aroma to our meat.

Then add the sliced chicken meat. Fry and wait for the pork and chicken to become tender.

If the meat is already tender, add now the 1/2 cup soy sauce.

Then, add the chicken stock we used a while ago.

Also, add the 2 cups of water. These will tenderize our hard ingredients such as the pork, chicken, longi sotanghon and pansit canton.

Add pepper. You can adjust the amount of pepper according to your preference. I like pepper so I put a lot hehe

Add also the oyster sauce. This will balance the taste of our dish.

Add a pinch of salt. You can add more salt if you like to.

Next step is add our 1 sachet of Magic Sarap. This will add Magic to our dish.

Let it simmer for 5-8 minutes. You can taste the initial flavor and if it satisfies your preference you can proceed to the next step, if not you have the freedom adjust the seasonings.

Add our Longi Sotanghon.

And also our Pansit Canton.

Mix mix mix!

We are now down to our last 2 steps. Add the sliced carrots

And also the sliced cabbage. Mix well and let it sit in the medium fire for 3-5 minutes.

There you have it everyone, our Blockbuster Bam-i!
