    Ilocano cuisine is the healthiest local cuisine in the country. We utilize alot of leefy greens, flowers, vegetables and root crops in our cooking. Dinengdeng, inabraw, buridobod, pinakbet just to name q few and their is many more dishes that is healthy.

    It’s interesting to see each of their take on healthy pinoy food. “Healthy” is really subjective. A diabetic would avoid carbs while a body builder would eat loads of it. Minsan depende din sa cultural background. Like lumaki tayo na sinasabihan wag masyado madami rice para hindi tumaba. Pero kapag nagbaon ako rice, my (dutch) colleagues would tell me, that’s healthy.

    My mother used only repolyo in her tortang. She never added flour. But my favorite was when she used spinach in place of the cabbage. Sometimes she made it with only onions.
    She also made tomatoes and scrambled eggs. Cook bawang and onion. Then add chopped tomato, let that cook until it's soft. Then add the beaten eggs.

    my mom would cook Laswa at least 3x a week and for the rest of the week she would make some other kind of ilonggo vegetable soup dishes. I used to hate it as a kid but now as an adult and almost a decade away from home, I really miss my mom's cooking especially her Laswa. She would put a bit of ginamos instead of patis 😋

    These all sound so good! I am most interested to make sinigang na bangus. I'm in the middle-of-nowhere Kansas and can't find bangus though, what fish can I use to substitute?

    • @ramyeonce
      @ramyeonce 8 дней назад

      Try Mackerel or Salmon belly. Some restaurants use these fish as substitute. Just be careful on how long you boil them as they aren’t as firm as bangus and may not hold up well in the broth. I would personally use Salmon belly for that extra fat which should give a richer flavor to the broth. Hope this helps! Let me know how it went.

    many popular Filipino foods are high in salt, sugar, and fats, contributing to health issues like diabetes and heart disease like Sisig, Longanisa, Bicol express, lumpiang shanghai, lechon, Tocino, KareKare and even halo halo with sugar from condensed milk and sweetened fruits, contributing to high calorie intake.

    not sure but for laswa I would put ginger and/or green chillis. if you dont want the slimy soup, you can leave out okra and saluyot and just put malunggay instead.
    and that sinigang would taste waaay better with tanglad.

    13:00 idk where local supermarket you bought your cabbage from, but stating that this is below 50 pesos???? I just bought cabbage from a typical “palengke” and it’s 63 pesos for an average size. Add eggs that cost hella expensive now. PLEASE BE REALISTIC. 😐

    • @Xenophoresis
      @Xenophoresis 15 дней назад

      Palengke will be cheaper than a local supermarket. But the best would be around 30 for a small cabbage. then just use half because she calls for only 1 & 1/2 cups of it. So probably 15 to 30 pesos. 6 pesos is just not realistic

    I can honestly say that there's no such thing as a healthy Pinoy foods unless we just eat the soup. Or, grilling a freshly caught fish. That's why each time I have Filipino food -- which I rarely do -- I go all out. Also given that we use packet seasoning as opposed to the real stuff, ie real sampaloc, we are loading ourselves with fake ingredients. Do I need to mention, "sabaw pa lang, mapapadami na ang rice" videos.

      Coconut milk is all right dear student nurse. Even coconut oil. Everything in moderation. It is anti inflammatory versus seed oils. So okay lang. Coconut milk may Reduce inflammation: Animal studies found that coconut extract and coconut oil reduced inflammation and swelling. Heto nag copy paste na ako. Evidence based research and citations kelangan natin. Although we still need a lot of research about the benefits of oil, it is indeed a saturated fat pero coconut oil also contains 12% true medium-chain fatty acids - capric acid and caprylic acid. Unlike longer-chain fats, MCTs go from the digestive tract directly to your liver, where they’re used for energy or ketone production. They are less likely to be stored as fat. Research also suggests that MCTs may help reduce appetite and decrease calorie intake compared to other fats, Coconut milk contains small amounts of MCTs. Although MCTs may increase metabolism and help you lose belly fat, the low levels in coconut milk are unlikely to significantly affect weight loss. Other benefits of coconut milk is that it decrease stomach ulcer size: In one study, coconut milk reduced stomach ulcer size. Look at Jamaica who are also fond of using coconut oil there is a decrease incidence of ulcers. I prescribe and recommend it to my patients. Nurse practitioner ako working with integrative psychiatry.
      Last one, coconut oil/milk Fight viruses and bacteria: Test-tube studies suggest that lauric acid may reduce the levels of viruses and bacteria that cause infections. This includes those that reside in your mouth, hence i do and recommend to my patients oil pulling during times of getting sick.
      Hence, in any food you eat, all should be in moderation, and being mindful of it.
