These might stir up memories of family reunions and barkada potlucks!
When you hear Pasko, what’s the next word that comes to mind? We bet it’s pakain! Although a Pinoy Pasko has all the trees and lights of a classic Christmas, the true centerpiece of any Filipino celebration is the delicious handaan that’s laid out for a family salo-salo.
Whether you’re spending the season with your relatives, barkada, workmates, or a little bit of everything through virtual LDR meetups, food can pull us together with good old family spirit. Christmas tastes like Christmas because of that extra sprinkle of love – whatever kind of love it may be!
This Christmas, Knorr is here to help you celebrate a buong-buo na Pasko with classic, memory-stirring Christmas dishes (some with exciting twists!) – as taught by Ninong Ry and more of your fave internet foodies – to share with your family, barkada, workmates, or anyone you love.
Salo-salo staples: Pancit, adobo, spaghetti
We get it: planning out your Christmas dishes might be a bit overwhelming. So let Knorr start you off with the dishes that put the PAS in Pasko: pancit, adobo, and spaghetti!
In a special Knorr Kitchen Secrets episode, Knorr kicks it off with a Pinoy classic as cooked by a Pinoy internet fave – adobo by Ninong Ry (with special participation from Lumpia Queen, Abi Marquez!). Of course, Ninong Ry has his own twist on the recipe by adding his special ingredients of ham and pineapple, plus the love and support of his IRL wifey, Belle Reyes.

Next up is pancit, which you can elevate with the mouth-watering flavor of shrimp. Check out this Christmas Pancit Canton recipe by FoodTok creator Franzie! She celebrates Christmas differently since her family is in Saudi Arabia while she’s in the Philippines. This pancit recipe is one of the dishes that helps Franzie feel like it’s another Pasko at her mom’s house wherever she may be. Hot tip: She says the secret ingredient for punchier flavors is a piece of Knorr Shrimp Cube. Let’s all thank Franzie’s mom for her secret ingredient!

To complete your holy grail trio of Christmas dishes, you can whip up a plate of sweet-sarap Spaghetti na Pinoy. Abi Marquez shared her holiday spaghetti recipe that takes advantage of another Noche Buena staple, quezo de bola!

Pasko tastes better together
As Ninong Ry said in his Knorr Kitchen Secrets episode, holiday memories are more cherishable when you taste and smell the goodness of food that’s shared with others. That’s why this year, he spread the holiday joy to the Gawad Kalinga community in Payatas, Quezon City with a simple but pasabog holiday handaan.
“Kahit hindi pa officially Pasko, naramdaman ko na buong-buo yung Pasko ko dahil sakanila,” said Ninong Ry.
[“Even though it wasn’t officially Christmas yet, I felt like my Christmas had been completed because of them.”]
Together, everyone shared not just food but smiles and memories that each person can carry all the way to the next holiday season.
