Esikarsintanas

The rice is then mixed with a variety of ingredients, including vegetables, meat, and sometimes seafood. Common vegetables used in esikarsintanas include carrots, green beans, and bell peppers, while meat options may include pork, chicken, or shrimp. The dish is seasoned with soy sauce, garlic, and other spices, which add depth to the flavors. Esikarsintanas is often served as a main course and is enjoyed for its combination of textures and tastes. It is a popular dish in local markets and street food stalls, reflecting the diverse culinary traditions of the Philippines.
