MANILA, Philippines — Who says vegetarian has to be bland and unpalatable? If the recipe is created by Chef Gene Gonzalez, the dish would surely look and taste great — as if it is not vegetarian at all.
Just recently, Chef Gene whipped up three vegetarian dishes in a cooking demonstration held at the World Food Expo 2024 (WOFEX 2024) for Lee Kum Kee, and this recipe of Street-style Corn was one of the recipes featured.
