I love your voice and videos, Jeanell!

I grew up eating hamburger helper all the time.... don't miss still. I actually refuse to eat it.😂😅

I like the Chinese chicken corn soup (and Chinese hot & sour soup but can eat they soy stuff anymore) for cold/flu recovery. Nice looking meal but seems fairly normal🥹💕

Okra stew. My mother used to cook it for me as it was my favourite. I can cook it too and do so occasionally - you can have too much of a good thing so I try not to overdo it.

I’m sorry I’m slow but if I make this dish according to recipe here^ will it turn out salty?

Omg same ever since I was small my mom made cooking so effortless that I thought I could do the same 🥲 And when I tried to cook nothing comes out right, now when I grow older I realise how much effort and time she used to learn by the amount of cookbooks are in my house XD She cooks fried rice almost every week for me recently for work even my colleagues notices but it’s just too good 🤤🤤

Absolutely LOVE this comment 😭❤ and my amis cooking

Samee!

Sameeeeeeeee

I love my mom and I love her cooking, but I was relieved when I went vegetarian because her chicken is dry as a bone 😅 She overcooks most of her meat because she's afraid of it being undercooked. if there's a spot of pink, it's going back in 😭

and when we can make it for someone who has never had it before!

Never got sick of ANYTHING my mom cooked….my “beautiful physique “ 🙄🫣🥴😭 can attest to that 😔

Mhm...

Who is we? Don’t speak for me lol!

i just don’t like how she used chicken eggs instead of quail eggs because quail eggs are more commonly used i just love them so much i was hoping to see them in the dish

That sounds like so much fun!! I want to try this!!

Do canned quail eggs taste weird? That part scares me.

no!! theyre basically just small hard boiled eggs ☺️ the egg whites are a little bit denser than the usual soft chicken egg white, but its basically the same

@@martymcfly5764 it's like basically a miniature version of the usual chicken eggs. It tastes and looks the same but smaller

I'm from canada and i grew up with lot of Filipino too and everytime knows my birthday my neighbor auntie make lumpia for me❤

As a non filipina could you explain to me what makes something "adobo" if you can make it in so many ways? What do all these things have in common?

@@andynonymous6769 soy sauce, vinegar, and garlic. Before the Spanish, we already knew how to cook adobo because we have been influenced by the Chinese to using soy sauce. However, earlier before the Chinese taught us Filipinos to cook with soy sauce, we already have been cooking meat to preserve them longer in vinegar, salt, garlic, and other spices. The term adobo comes from Adobar from Spanish. They cook meat in stew with vinegar too but different spices. So, when they came to the Philippines, they were surprised to see the natives cooking with vinegar too. As a result, Filipinos spoke in Spanish and our old dish became known as Adobo throughout the world because of the Spanish.

@@Mary-sh2bp ah thanks!!

I like to ad a little over half a can of ginger ale to the pot for a little zing! 🤤

I lived with a Filipino and he was adding crushed ginger and that is a game changer

Omg, thank you for reminding me about lumpia! I forgot what they were called! I live in the Midwest, but in 2019 I went to the PNW to visit my aunts. They took me to a super tiny Lumpia place, we got a bunch of different types, and they were absolutely DELICIOUS! (Plus the couple that ran the place were super sweet/kind.) There are three dishes/foods I had on that trip that keep me awake with cravings late at night, and Lumpia's one of them.

I love their food too

I am Filipino and honestly I love hosting and feeding people ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

@@sarahi1149 move to chicago

they had to be on the best behavior when around their colonizers, na mean?

Salute

I used to feel like this, my parents the same, in and out of foster homes. But one day, that slight jealous twinge might fade and be replaced by hope/joy regardless. My friends grandmother has a show from the 70's-80's on literally right now and I just heard someone say to someone who'd been through a shit hand in life, but the quote went something like "life is a 10 foot wall. Some people are born with the things to get over that wall; beauty, strength, family, money etc. And some people aren't; poor, "ugly", weak, no parents. So they have to find the the tools/things to get over that 10 foot wall. That's just the fact of life" something else about not feeling sorry for yourself, hard words to hear because life isn't fair. But it's how you prosper, letting go of the hurt and trying to make new where you are now. Seeking out the people who are there for you even if you dont feel loved or like you belong anywhere. Sorry if this is too off topic, i just thought it tied into my own feelings about what you said about feeling jealous or even, for me in the past, sad when i saw people with things i didnt have, but should have had. I felt that way, but it can get better.

My mom was the one that mainly took care of me I had ended up moving out because I got hook on Heroin and I didn't want my little brother seeing that. I had got my own place but had to leave it now I stay with my alcoholic dad and it's sad how much of a piece of shit he is always telling me how am a nuisance to hem I could leave but I don't wanna be homeless again but thankfully I'll be outta here going to jobcore real soon

Sorry to hear that. Me too, I had no parents to take care of me. They were away abroad, but I always have a good amount of pocket money wherever I go, I learn a lot of things (including bad ones) but most of all become an independent at a very early age, I had to learn everything on my own and didn't need to rely on anybody. Now Im tough, rough but still good natured. Didn't need to blame my parents, I know they had to work for my sake.

I'm sorry to hear that. I was just reading and you made me tear up. I hope you're in a better place now.

Thanks

Nah it's true that you don't want to mix it until it boils because if you do, the vinegar will have a sharper, more sour taste instead of mellowing out.

there are some things that are specific to how the cooking or baking works... and it's mostly fine to be like "this is how it is. do it this specific way or XYZ happens" but nowadays my big nerd brain can't stop asking "ok. but WHY?" and now I wanna know the chemistry behind it.. or the method behind the madness. Even a high level understanding would be OK... like don't try to cool fudge in the fridge after it's mixed.... why? the sugars forms crystals as it cools, and the rate it cools changes the size and texture of those crystals. knead dough X amount of time... why not just until it comes together? because kneading it longer tangles up the gluten more and makes it hold together better. It's sometimes nice to understand what can go wrong, but I also want to understand what is going on when it goes right.

​@ShadowFoxSF I'm with this guy I want science side of youtube on this stat.

​@@ShadowFoxSFI use this vinegar technique too but I've always wondered the same thing. "Why?" I think the reason no one is studying it is because it's not a popular cooking technique and not all cultures use white vinegar for cooking.

How is that a spiritual level sounds only like a physical and mental level

6weeks in fridge 4weeks out the fridge which would be in a unopened can There delicious 😊❤

I'd rather just eat them fresh. If you don't eat canned chicken eggs, don't eat canned quail eggs.

1 decade frozen

@@NovikNikolovicthere is canned chicken eggs?

@@bibsbeezASMR no, but you wouldn't eat it if there was would you? Some canned stuff can be just so foul 🤮

Everyone uses Adobo except white people

You’re lucky, I haven’t experienced where I originate from, I grew up in Cali.

@@mardoxideodahzmar223 I'm sorry to hear that, Filipino food will open you to a whole new world of flavor and culture, most people don't think I look the par but I was born there and raised there for about a good 4 months then came to America

Lucky. My mom is mexican and she RARELY makes mexican dishes. She usually makes some chicken with bone in it that doesn't even taste good. I hate chicken drumsticks. Or sometimes the food is just flavorless

Aww that must have warmed his heart lol.

I would love the recipe for salmon croquettes!!!

I know that made your father feel very needed and loved. 🥰 I love that you have a relationship with your family!!

You cried? Talk about extra. 🙄🙄

@@Zepego-jk2iz …You’re the one being extra! Jealous that she has a loving father?

❤

I’m cooking everything out of spite instead of love from now on, thank you for the tip 🤗

@@HaveaBiscuitt lol

I think you mean Sprite but I guess spite would work too. Lol

@@cindybeaton2103 yes I meant sprite it was a typo🤣

Thank you! But yours is at a different level, my mom visited Thailand a year ago and all she said is about how the food is insanely good lol

Well that is a typical shorts reels TikTok etc edit/trick

@@samariperez4297 I know it's typical, but I like how it started with negative and ended with positive using the negative. Usually it's just "and here we have this delicious food" type of loop.

Sorry for your loss💗🕊️

Ooo whats taco rice? Ive never heard of it but lived in Japan for a bit

@@Joe-vz1ck it's actually a dish that originated in Okinawa. You can easily look up the recipe.

Okinawa Taco Rice combines American taco-style ground beef with a bowl of Japanese white rice, a humble, yet satisfying taco rice bowl that has its origins from the U.S. military presence after the Second World War.

Scrambled eggs with Spam is popular breakfast dish for my Mom and I on Sunday morning.

same, but with oatmeal and eggs and spam for breakfast, oatmeals great but we used to make it basically every day except the weekends, i would just skip breakfast rather than eat it

That's not adobo

​@@jhemuelsoriano6203Adobong sitaw is not adobo?

@@harchiehirondo8156 I didn't say such thing as that, but what i know is Green beans is different from string beans.

@@jhemuelsoriano6203 Mhmm maybe.. Or he/she doesn't seem to know what the English of "sitaw" is. Technically, string beans are green beans

Is the dish really good?

@@kiragoldy4615yes and the way my brother in law makes it is 😘. The meat is more caramelized and it taste sooo Good

I lost all my puerto Rican friends to adulthood and my heart is detached about not having anymore homemade food....😣😔😭

Adobo in the Philippines can look massively different depending on region and a family's personal taste. My mother used to add veggies like carrot and potato which made it more of a stew and I tend to like that style more. It's a super versatile dish and I used to bond over it and longanisa with my ex's Mexican mother.

In mexico we consider adobo what people in America call chilli meat. I always thought it was originally from mexico.

😢🎉😂❤😢😮😅😊

Lucky. My mom is mexican and she doesn't make mexican dishes all the time. RARELY does she ever make them

@@Iwanttoblowmybrainsoutrn Noooouuuu I’m sorry 😔 You can come over any time! It’s a Mexican feast everyday over here 🤗💕🇲🇽

@@eshawk2059 man. She usually cooks like this plain meat with something added to it and it's not even supposed to taste good, she said it's just to be healthy and I'm sick of it. At this point, I force myself to eat some of the stuff she makes. She makes good food on the weekends because it's not supposed to be healthy and I love it

@@Iwanttoblowmybrainsoutrn ohh noo healthy food is supposed to taste good. My parents are very health conscious and we’ve eaten fresh whole foods all our life just how they cook in a Mexico nothing frozen or canned or tv dinners. Maybe you can get her a healthy Mexican recipes cook book and you guys could make some recipes together I love having a cooking date with my mom it’s so much fun getting to help out and learn. We just had pozole last week it’s a traditional Mexican dish its a soup made with Turkey traditionally but you can make it with chicken both are really good and then you add spices to the broth and loads of fresh raw veggies on top cabbage, radish, cilantro, onion, avocado, lemon juice it’s soooo good! And a clean and lean meal also. Another great meal is a Mexican power bowl you can add steamed white or brown rice or Mexican rice and you can toast it without oil to make it leaner, add some beans black or pinto both great choices full of fiber, iron and protein, then add your grilled protein stake, chicken breast, then some grilled onion and peppers if you like and top with salsa, guacamole and pico de gallo all made only with veggies so good for you and delicious, top with some Mexican cheese cotija, Oaxaca, queso fresco, or skip the cheese for a leaner dish and you’re done! A meal packed with lean protein, vitamins and minerals. Another favorite of mine are camarones a la Mexicana it’s grilled or steamed shrimp with Mexican spices, jalapeños, onion and tomato you can add it to a bed of steamed rice and steamed veggies on the side! It’s amazing and super lean and healthy! There’s also loads of vegan and vegetarian options that’s why most vegans and vegetarians eat at Mexican restaurants. I hope this helps let me know if you need more Mexican dishes or recipes I loooove Mexican food not only for the amazing taste but because it’s a nutritious power house 😊

Dang, you're lucky ❤

❤

Yeah that ain’t taking it for granted, just needed a break from it for a while ^^

So bad

NoodlesTheFish143• she sounds like any American born Filipina. Ppl have to grow up in the PI is have the accent Americans associate with Filipinos.
