Kare-kare is a traditional Filipino beef stew made with peanut butter, fish sauce, garlic, onions and annatto.

On those lazy nights, this creamy corn soup becomes your best friend. With just three ingredients, it's the perfect choice for those seeking comfort without the hassle.

I'm much more of a stew person, where tender meat is the star, and the whole situation can be ladled over rice (my favorite is kare-kare, a satisfying Filipino oxtail and peanut stew with vegetables).
