Century Tuna Corned Tuna Inasal Rice

After typhoon “Pedring”, “Oplan Bayanihan” is again in full force thanks to the girl with the golden heart (na may sequins pang kumikinag), Divine Lee.

Read about how our barkada became a “bayanihan task force” here (my previous blog).

Once again, the “Becky Queen” twitted that she needed donations for those in need in Bulacan. As soon as I read it, I didn’t think twice to help. Since I can’t physically go to the site as I have a sick family to attend to, I told Divs that I will donate food. Easy.

Just after I tweeted Divine, I realized, how the hell am I going to cook if I’m at a shoot? I didn’t have time to buy supplies at the grocery plus, even if my shoot ends at 7pm, I only had an hour to make baranggay levelz meals (read: good for 200 people)! Haaay!

I called the “Liza 2000” (my small but amazing help) to give me a quick rundown of food inside our pantry.

Me: “Liz, anong laman ng pantry? Yung pinakamarami nating stock.”
Liza: “Century Tuna Corned Tuna Inasal… Century Tuna Sausage… onions… bigas… Perrier Lemon… “Utmil”
Me: “Utmil???”
Liza: “Yung pagkain ba ni Dylan.”
Me: “OATMEAL!!! LIZ!!!” *LOL*

When life throws you Century Tuna Corned Tuna Inasal and bigas, make a mean…

Corned Tuna Inasal Rice

Mmm

I also made Rice with Century Tuna Sausage and onions

A few slices of lemon and parsley can make simple dishes look special!

Mmm

I have to thank Century Tuna Senior Product Manager Gela Gamboa for coming to my rescue! I lacked Century Tuna Corned Tuna Inasal and she immediately sent me more supplies! You’re the best!

Thank you Century Tuna!

I wanted to cook something that is fast and nutritious for the needy. I believe that they need all the nourishment they can get to rebuild their lives after typhoon “Pedring”.

The Tuna Inasal Rice and rice with sausage and onions are complete meals:

Rice- carbohydrates for energy
Tuna and sausages- protein for muscle building
Carrots and onion- complex carbs aides digestion and fuels energy
Olive oil- good cholesterol

After I posted a photo of the baranggay meals, a lot of my Twitter followers wanted to get the recipe for the Corned Tuna Inasal Rice!
