Pork Chops, Blanched Pechay and Tangy Tuna Salad

Hello again, Hive community! ❤️

Today, I want to share one of my favorite comfort foods that I prepared at home. It is a simple but delicious meal made with crispy pork chop, blanched pechay, and a homemade tuna salad.

Before I start with the preparation, let me first share the ingredients I used for my tuna salad.

Ingredients for My Tuna Salad

Here are the ingredients I prepared:

Cucumber
Prime Whole Kettle Corn
Century Tuna
2 white eggs
3 calamansi
2 medium onions
72 ml Real Mayonnaise
A little salt, according to taste

These ingredients are very simple, but when combined together, they make a creamy, fresh, and flavorful tuna salad that I really enjoy.

Preparing My Comfort Food

First, I prepared the pork chops. I seasoned them with pepper and Magic Sarap to give the meat more flavor. I made sure that the seasoning was distributed properly so that every bite would be tasty.

After seasoning the pork chops, I started frying them in a pan. My goal was to make them nice and crispy, so I used low heat and cooked them slowly.

When cooking pork chops, I believe that patience is important. Sometimes we are tempted to turn up the heat because we are already hungry, but cooking over low heat gives the pork chop enough time to cook properly while gradually becoming crispy on the outside.

As the pork chop was frying, the delicious smell started filling the kitchen. At that point, I was already getting excited to eat! 😂

While waiting for the pork chops to finish cooking, I also prepared some pechay. I simply blanched it for a short time. I did not want to overcook the vegetables because I wanted them to remain fresh and enjoyable to eat.

and TADAAAA... this is my pork chop with blanched petchay.

After that, it was time to prepare my tuna salad.

I combined the Century Tuna, white eggs, cucumber, Prime Whole Kettle Corn, onions, calamansi, and Real Mayonnaise in a container. I added a little salt for additional flavor.

Then I mixed everything together until all the ingredients were properly combined.

The cucumber gave the salad a fresh and crunchy texture, while the corn added a little sweetness. The tuna gave it a savory flavor, and the mayonnaise brought everything together. The calamansi also gave it a refreshing citrus flavor that I really love.

Once everything was mixed well, my tuna salad was ready!

Finally, I arranged everything on my plate—the crispy pork chop, blanched pechay, and my homemade tuna salad.

And there it was, my simple but delicious comfort food for today! ❤️

Sometimes, we don't need complicated recipes or expensive ingredients to enjoy a good meal. Simple food prepared at home can already make us happy, especially when we prepare it with love and patience.

I really enjoyed this meal today, and I hope you enjoyed seeing how I prepared it as well.
