Pro Tips
**Chef's Tips & Troubleshooting:**
- Cook shrimp and squid quickly over high heat — they turn rubbery in under 3 minutes.
- Do not overcook shrimp — they are done as soon as they turn pink and curl into a C-shape.
- For pizza-style dishes, preheat the baking surface for a crisper crust.
- Sear proteins in a hot pan for a deep brown crust before finishing in the oven or sauce.
Cooking Tips
Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes after baking before slicing. This allows the layers to set and prevents it from falling apart when served. For a golden-brown top, uncover the casserole during the last 10 minutes of baking or switch to broil for 2-3 minutes.
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.
