Pro Tips

**Chef's Tips & Troubleshooting:**

- Cook tocino and longganisa over medium heat so the sugar caramelizes without burning.

- For tocino, the red food coloring is optional — the flavor comes from the sweet pineapple marinade.

- For baked international dishes, preheat the oven fully before putting the dish in.

- Toast whole spices in a dry pan before grinding to unlock their essential oils and aroma.

Cooking Tips

Have all your ingredients prepped and measured before you start cooking — quick dishes leave no time for chopping mid-recipe.

Ingredient Substitutions

Short on time? A pressure cooker (Instant Pot) can reduce cooking time by roughly half for most braised and stewed Filipino dishes. Reduce liquid slightly since less evaporates.

Storage & Reheating

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days. The flavors often deepen overnight, making leftovers even more delicious. Reheat on the stovetop over medium-low heat, adding a splash of water or broth if the sauce has thickened during storage. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring between each.

Breakfast Burrito

Breakfast Burrito

Metro Manila, International

Made with cdo funtastyk young pork tocino, cooked rice, eggs and cheddar cheese — a hearty Filipino dish that's simple to cook and satisfying to share.

Prep: 10 min Cook: 10 min Total: 20 min Medium Serves 4

Instructions

  1. Cook the tocino by heating 3 tablespoons of cooking oil in a pan. Adjust your stove between low to medium heat setting. Fry both sides of our CDO Funtastyk Young Pork Tocino until it browns (note: no need to boil). Remove the tocino from the pan. Slice it into serving pieces. Set aside
  2. Make the scrambled eggs by combining eggs and fresh milk. Beat until the mixture smoothens. Heat a pan and melt the butter. Once the butter gets hot enough, pour the egg mixture and stir constantly while cooking. Once the texture becomes less runny, add 2 tablespoons of shredded cheddar cheese, and then stir. Transfer to a clean plate. Set aside.
  3. Prepare the rice by pouring vinegar over it. Mix well and set aside.
  4. Assemble the burrito. Start by spreading the rice over the tortilla. Top with lettuce, tomato, cheese, egg, and CDO Funtastyk Young Pork Tocino. Secure the contents by wrapping the flour tortilla. Arrange on a serving platter. Serve for breakfast.
