It’s my birthday today!! Hubby just surprised me this afternoon and told me we needed to leave right away for New York City where he arranged a special birthday dinner for me. Wow, I didn’t see that coming! I intended to finish this post right away but because of this “surprise”, I had to temporarily stop so I could prepare our clothes for the trip.

And what a surprise it was! I knew that we would be eating at a Filipino restaurant in Queens despite his not letting me know about it at that time. It made sense because it’s been a while since we went to a Pinoy eatery and he knew that would totally delight me, of course! While we were about to begin eating, by the door suddenly appeared someone familiar.

I was pretty shocked and couldn’t believe my eyes – it was my little dear sister Eunice – all the way from the Philippines! I was totally caught by surprise that the only words that came out of my mouth were — “What are you doing here?”

Apparently, my sister was in Canada previously and then she and Mark made some arrangements so she could visit me for my birthday! That was awesome!

It made my day as it was totally unexpected and it was so wonderful to see my sister again after not seeing her for more than a year! March 16, 2016, certainly ranks as one of the best birthdays I ever had and I am grateful to my hubby and sister for making it so happy and memorable.

Let’s go back to the post! Here’s a Filipino classic recipe for Corned Beef Hash – my sister and I grew up eating this for breakfast. In this post, I will show you how to make authentic Filipino corned beef.

Frequently Asked Questions FAQs:

How long does this corned beef hash keep in the fridge? The leftover hash can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Simply reheat it in the microwave or on the stove before serving.

Can I make this dish ahead of time? Yes, you can prepare the corned beef hash ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve. Simply reheat it on the stove or in the microwave before serving.

Is this recipe gluten-free? Yes, this recipe is naturally gluten-free. However, if you choose to add soy sauce for seasoning, be sure to use a gluten-free soy sauce to keep the dish gluten-free.

    My mom made corned beef hash when I was a kid. (of course, I'm embarrassed to say that she smothered it in ketchup!) Yours looks way better and super tasty!

      Hello Vicki! I’ve only been to two Filipino restaurants in Manhattan. I love Jeepney, food was great but this is more modern Pinoy but retaining enough authenticity and tastes great. It’s really small so book, if they allow it. I can’t remember now. If you like turn-turo style there’s Elvie’s and food here’s authentic but not much ambience as it looks like turo-turo in Manila unless they’ve changed now as it’s been years since I was there. But the best place to find Filipino food is in Queens – that area looks like you’re in Manila with several Filipino restaurants side by side. We don’t go anywhere too fancy but we like Krystal’s Cafe – reasonably priced and food is really good – just like in Manila! And Jollibee is there, too!! LOL. Have fun!
