Whenever I see Erwan and Nico together I always remember Nico's speech on Erwan and Anne's wedding where he tell's Erwan "Erwan your smart, good looking, your self driven, your succesful, you push me to work out, you cook for me and takes care of me that sometimes I feel like I married the wrong Heusaff" 😂😂😂

If we compare them to a double act: Erwan = Tsukkomi (straight man) Nico = Boke (funny man)

[@101_DailyLife]

I do appreciate Sir Erwan that you feature two ilocano dishes and add some twist. However, the word insarabasab itself means grilling the fresh meat over a high flame. The meat is seasoned with rock salt only and put it directly over the flame. The high heat quickly cooks the meat outside forming a bit of crust and traps the moist inside making it super soft. As you slice the meat, you can see some fat oozing. In some instances, the doneness is medium rare, that is the reason why they put calamansi or vinegar, to cook through those meat that is not well done. They put chopped onions and a splash of soy sauce (optional). This dish maybe formed in the earlier years because of the “pauraga”. A group of men will butcher a pig in the backyard. The best part will be sold to the neighborhood. Those unwanted parts like the belly (too much fat), the pig’s head that includes the snout, face, ear and brain were left behind. Those parts are quite hairy and it entails a lot of work to remove. The easiest way is to toast it over the high flame to burn the hair, cook the meat for a bit and serve as their pulutan. That is insarabasab.

[@kamotetops1572]

@@eduardochavacano "Giving the dish that backstory kinda sounds like the Filipinos are so desperate to have something cultural and exotic to present to the world" - Backstory of a food is important! The one you are implying are the people who want to STANDARDIZE Filipino foods. (Having ONE recipe for every dish) "Since much of what is celebrated as Filipino Food is Fake" - Almost every recipe in the world comes from old civilizations; Not having an ORIGINAL recipe doesn't mean it's FAKE.(in food) Adobo literally means to marinate. We made it our own by having another take of it. People having different Adobo recipe doesn't mean the others are fake, and only one of it is the original.

You both need to be together more often. You make every viewing such a pleasure. Thanks for making us your fans smile amid all these problems we are facing. God bless you guys!

[@princessvillan3032]

Omg yeees

[@johnbacudo8915]

I love that you featured this dishes. The way that the Dinakdakan was prepared works, while for the Insarabasab, you have to grill them, personally I'll grill them without seasoning and then season them when assembling.

[@melissamaealonzo5175]

Nico is effortlessly making me laugh everytime 😂

[@dailynguevarra695]

Really love watching both of you together. Hilarious af without even trying! ❤

[@LMSVlogLeonardReyMSabadoSABADO]

This is technically a version of there own. They have disclaimer on the video naman that their nor gonna be fire/charcoal grilling so its fine. Insarabasab technically means flame grilled.. so it something smoky. While dinakdakan is mostly boiled and mayo is not commonly added rather the pigs brain alone which sometimes we also call it warek-warek. Ilocano dinakdakan can be just seasoned with salt, pepper, red onions and vinegar and the common meat used are the innards such as intestines and liver and a little of pork meat. Again its their own version and nothing wrong about it.

[@LMSVlogLeonardReyMSabadoSABADO]

@@eduardochavacano this is so true… 1 version to another version… which sometimes or should I say really kill the authenticity of a specific dish. But I do also believe that the variations of filipino cuisine is the one that makes it unique. With this, it would be more appropriate that in naming our dish if its not authentic then there should be a suffix in the end like say for example, adobong tagalog, adobong cebuano, adonb kapampangan. Hehehe

[@supremo3553]

This is some top-tier version of the Ilocano dishes Dinakdakan and Insarabasab. It is more common in Ilocandia to grill the maskara and the meat right after boiling it. The smokiness will add more flavor to the acidity of the vinegar and/or calamansi. Anyways, kudos! ✨

Sabi nga ni erwan nasa studio sila kaya hindi makakapag grill, kaya fried ginawa nila

[@romariefortez8565]

Being an ilocano makes me proud always and seeing you make our dishes guys made me smile though i got dissapointed with the Insarabasab because it should boil until its very tender and then you have to burn or grill it a little just a little to get that smoky taste. Try to do it next time guys its more delicious this way.

[@animaniactv1385]

Insarabasab - Flame grilled Easy and quick to make pulotan. It's a tradition for most of ilocano butchers to drink alcohol while butchering and the easiest fastest way to make pulotan is to fire grill a meat no boil needed, usually in a ilocano traditional fire wood stove (dalikan). Just add salt pepper onion ginger vinegarand and in just 7-10mins you have pulotan

Insarabasab in english means to cook straight in coal or fire. So you get the essence of smokiness of the wood smoke. Its not boiled though. Just simple soy base marinate for at most 15min or not at all. It taste better if just pig and smoke with onion tomato and patis.
