To get you started, we've compiled a list of some common Filipino food and groceries that you may want to pick up on your next trip to the store:
-Rice: Rice is a staple of the Filipino diet and is served with most meals. If you're making a dish that requires rice (such as sinigang or adobo), be sure to pick up some long-grain rice for best results.
-Fish sauce: Fish sauce is an important ingredient in many Filipino dishes and gives them their signature umami flavor. If you can't find it at your local grocery store, it's also available online.
-Coconut milk: Coconut milk is used in both sweet and savory dishes and adds a rich flavor to any dish it's used in. Canned coconut milk is generally easier to find than fresh coconut milk, but both will work for most recipes.
-Vinegar: Vinegar is commonly used in Philippine cuisine as both an ingredient and a condiment. It's especially important in dishes like adobo and sinigang, where it helps balance out the flavors.
-Soy sauce: Soy sauce is another common ingredient in Filipino food. It's often used as a marinade or seasoning for meats or vegetables.
-Tofu: Tofu is a popular vegan alternative to meat in Philippine cuisine and can be used in many different dishes. Firm tofu works best for stir-fries and other cooked dishes, while soft tofu is typically used in soups or desserts.
