Rufa Mae Quinto's home-cooked recipes and cooking tips

"I'm loving the new me."

Rufa Mae Quinto wrote in her Instagram post after her exclusive interview for Rated K.

On the weekend program, the 38-year-old comedienne finally confirmed that she's 17 weeks pregnant.

She also explained why she had to hold back her announcement: First trimester had been difficult and delicate.

While resting at home, she has been wearing her hat as #MamaChef, a hashtag suggested by her good friend LJ Reyes.

Rufa Mae's Instagram has transformed into an online recipe page, and her feed is now filled with photos of the dishes she had cooked.

Here are some of them.

1. Crab

She cooked this "Kapampangan recipe" for her mom Fe Ann and sisters Gie and Kyle.

"So I learned first how to clean [crabs].

"I have a toothbrush or any pang-scrub brush na clean, ok, with running water.

"Then get a big pan, tapos put water, then lagay crabs sagad ang tubig pero may 3-4 inches na remaining pa.

"Put olive oil, lemon, pigain ang juice, salain para walang buto, then salt and pepper.

"If type niyo, Sprite or 7Up instead of water para yummy talaga at mawala lansa, 10-15 mins lang dapat in medium heat pag nag-red na.

"Di pwede sobra. Titigas and magiging rubberize, walang linamnam.

"Then open crabs, hiwain sa gitna ang body, and remove. Sipit, crack it."

2. Sinigang na Baka

Recipe: "Beef ribs 2 pounds, 10 cups of water, 1 onion peeled, 6 pcs taro or gabi, 1 pc labanos chop niyo, 3 pc siling green, 1 bundle of kangkong, and 5 pcs okra, 1 tablespoon of fish sauce, salt, and pepper to taste.

"Para sa real sampalok, 15 pcs na walang buto then 1 cup boil til mag-burst ang balat ng sampalok, then durugin using a fork.

"Mga 2X salain para juicy real!"

2. Sizzling Shrimp Gambas

Sometimes, she would post videos of herself while cooking.
