The only thing that I'll say from growing up in a Filipino-American household is that Datu Puti is also a generally good brand of soy sauce for Filipino dishes. I won't say it's the best but it's what I grew up on and it's a Filipino brand (tbh my family does just order the packs of the soy sauce and the vinegar packaged together so that may influence it)

[@user-xv5dn9vt7n]

Here in the Philippines Datu Puti is the go to for vinegar, Silver Swan for soy sauce and Lorin's for fish sauce.

My favorite breakfast ever since I can remember as a child when Father treated Mother with cooking breakfast every Sunday with the fried rice teeming w garlic, langonisa (special order from Mrs. Borja, our neighbor) with occasional pork tocino and sunny side up eggs. We ate them seasoned with crushed garlic, salt & pepper swimming in vinegar (ubiquitous in Filipino kitchens). Memorable and at the breakfast my body craved for all my life wherever I was because of its unique flavors, the memory of Father and his effort to show love and gratitude for my Mother preparing most of our meals. Father took it as an opportunity to show his love and appreciation for the love of his life. It was Mother's Day every Sunday at my house on M. Natividad St, Santa Cruz, Manila, Philippines. These celebrations made up for the time when he could no longer be with us. Father left us love and memories that last forever. He was made of good husband & father material. My greatest blessing in life was having been born of my of parents and I consider myself very lucky because of a very good start in life. Thanks for the memories!

As a Mexican American who looks Filipino to most people who are Filipino. During my college years I was living at a home for months who are Filipino family and the first thing I learned to cook was rice. The very next day we cooked the same rice for breakfast with a lot garlic. The same years I was able to express and enjoy many food from the Philippines.

[@Ideo7Z]

Filipinos are sometimes called the Mexicans of Asia. It's not just a euphemism. As a colony of Spain, The Philippines was administered out of Mexico City not Madrid. The soldiers garrisoned there were largely manned by Tlaxcala descended natives that had previously sided with the Conquistadors against their historical enemy the Aztecs. Tlaxcalans were fiercely loyal to Spain becoming the backbone of their colonial forces . They intermixed with our people to the point many of the Colonial governors were of Mexican Creole blood. Which is why a lot of us get mistaken for being Latinos. I can't tell you how many times I got mistaken for a Vato when I was in Cali. with my head shaved and goatee. Certain words in Tagalog are derived from the Tlaxcalan's Nahuatl language. We have similar foods: adobo, empinadas, chicharron, flan. Go to a colonial era Catholic church and it would look no diffrent from one in Mexico city and the older ladies wear the same type of veils at mass. We have similar customs. Your Quinceanera is called a Debu here. We have Araw ng mga Patay ( day of the dead) which is celebrated almost identically Dia De los Muertos in Mexico. Ramon Fabie, a Filipino mining engineering student was among 200 Filipinos that fought for Miguel Hidalgo during the Mexican War for Independence. Fabie's name is on a plaque in the Mexican embassy in Manila. Who knows, you might have Filipino cousins and not know it.

[@jerrytang3146]

@@Ideo7Z Additional info: Achete, chico, pumpkins and avocados (among others) came to the Philippines via the galleon ships from Mexico, while we gave them mango (originally from India and brought to the Philippines by the Spanish friars). The town of Mexico in Pampanga province is said to be a bastardization of the word, "may chico", because that was the place where the Mexican crew of the galleons were housed. So, they brought seeds and planted them there. In fact, the locals call it 'Mechiko' with a ch, not an x.

Thanks for this Joshua! Came to know your channel through Uncle Roger and your collab with Guga. Good job on making the Longganisa from scratch. But as a tip, try see if you can source longganisa from different regions of the Philippines. There are whole debates in themselves which region does it best! In the states, I know there are some Filipino communities that may have longganisa, and it may be worth it to ask what region they’re from. Personally, I like Vigan longganisa from the north, which similar to what you made, has LOTS of garlic. Another to try is Longganisa from Lucban, which is just south of Manila. Their longganisa looks a bit shorter (like little ovals), but has a slightly sweeter, almost cured taste to it, but full of umami. Hope you get the chance to sample all sorts of longganisa we have to offer! And thank you again for this!

[@MsAngelLen]

Video missed to mention, in the Philippines we call this breakfast item "-silog" That is: 1) "Si" for SInangag- the garlic fried rice 2) "log" for itLOG- for the fried egg And 3) add the protein, as for what was presented was tocino & longanissa. LONG-"silog" for longanissa, or TO-"silog" for tocino. So in the filipino book this combination of tocino, longanissa fried rice & egg is way up the ranks of being extravagant. We dont have a name for it. LOL Other breakfast food combination for SILOG are: HOTsilog- for hotdog TAPsilog- for tapa HAMsilog- for obviously HAM CHICKsilog- for fried chicken (also check out the song named chicksilog) STEAKsilog- for burger patty smothered with gravy Other items i forgot to include (as reminded further in the comments): SPAMsilog- fried SPAM CORNsilog- sautéed cornbeef in onion & garlic DAINGsilog (DAsilog)- Daing - salted dried fish, and yes it smells like hell tastes like heaven BANGsilog- Bangus (milk fish), usually deboned and fermented in garlic & vinegar

There are various viands that you can add to your Silog (fried eggs and garlic fried rice) aside from the Tocilog ( tocino) and the Longsilog (longaniza). You can as well have Tapsilog (marinated beef tapa),, Bansilog (Fish called bangus or milkfish, also marinated), Spamsilog. (with Spam) and Adobosilog ( with chicken or pork adobo). Some also use corned beef.

[@myeahonline]

This is why “silogan” restaurants or menus are so popular here in the Philippines. “Silog” is the popular conjunction for “sinangag at itlog” or “garlic fried rice and egg” in English, which are the base elements of the dish. We just add the name of the protein at the start to distinguish the combinations (e.g. Longsilog for longganisa + silog). So simple yet so filling and satisfying.

Silogans got lazier and they just basically steamed rice with the chopped garlic in it. Freaking Philistines.

Wow! That brings me back. First time I had that was when my brother and my Filipino sister-in-law came to visit us in Melbourne Australia back in 2007-08 along with their kids. They stayed with my sister-in-law’s brother who lives in Mordialloc, a seaside suburb east of Melbourne, and me and my wife and two sons were invited to celebrate Christmas with them. We came on Christmas Eve and we were invited to stay the night and celebrate Christmas by the beach the following morning. We had the usual American Christmas Eve dinner of ham, turkey, cheese, fruitcake, and eggnog. They served that because my brother, who last I have seen was when I got married in 1997 and shortly after me and my Australian wife moved to Melbourne, and I are Americans. Half white, half black born and bred in Buffalo, NY. Our mom is half German half Portuguese Chinese and our dad was half black American and half Scottish. We both served in the uniformed service. My brother, USN, served with the Naval Attaché in Manila while I served in the Army before my discharge in ‘96. They said we will have the best breakfast in the world the following morning. They weren’t kidding. I have Filipino friends and acquaintances from work and my eldest son’s best friend in school eversince daycare is Filipino so I was quite familiar with some Filipino food. When I say some I mean not even a handful. I’m not gonna lie, I thought Filipino food was pretty ordinary. The only one I really liked was pork belly adobo and maybe spring rolls. I never had Filipino breakfast before but man, that Christmas morning 10:16 was the best breakfast spread I ever had my entire life. The garlic rice alone was so divine you don’t even have to have the best tasting tiny, sweet, savory, spicy round balls of sausage (longanisa Cebu, I think?) to be filled. The pan fried cured beef along with the tocino was awesome with the salted eggs and tomato salad. There was also sausage, bacon, baked beans and toast and some freezer hash browns but who wants them? I dug in and had three helpings. My youngest who was 3 years old at that time asked me why auntie was cooking so much lunch for breakfast. And the lunch at the beach was even better. The lamb and sausages I brought for the barbecue looked pathetic compared to what they brought: their pork kebabs on skewers were to die for along with the ribs marinated in lemonade soda, soy sauce, lots of garlic, some sort of ketchup, and other spices I wasn’t sure what. We had grilled fish stuffed with tomato and onion, shrimp the size of my hand, and rice steamed in banana leaves. I would’ve stayed till Boxing Day if we didn’t have a prior commitment to have dinner with my in-laws that night. When we were invited back for the New Year’s Eve party, no army, navy, or airforce would’ve stopped me from coming. Since then, whenever were invited to come over for any occasion at my sister-in-law’s brothers’ place we always make sure to come. To my sister-in-law Ruth and her older brother Doctor Eddie Junior, or doc June to his friends and family, you two are some of the most wonderful, loveliest, and best people I have ever met. This world is a better place because of people like you. I consider you more than a family to me. Thank you!

8:07 I was able to read that and tranlate it in my mind. Then got curious why the rice is called branch. When I went down the rabbit hole of research (yes, i'm one of those who love to research and learn stuff lol) I thought maybe I spelt it wrong. I"m not sure but I'm wondering if you meant Sinangag instead of Sinangang? Between talking to my nanay(mom) and learning this breakfast dish. I thought I would come back and bring some interesting conversation about it :). Again Thank you Joshua for bring attention to the Filipino culture I truly love seing and also be apart of conversation when it comes to talking about food.

Never ever buy Filipino cured meats from the grocery. It all tastes like candies 'coz they are too sweet to be authentic. Just make your own like it's the 80's. And, oh, use Sprite to marinade instead of pineapple juice.

[@melvinperez1486]

Except the use of paprika😂

[@patriciamoradamacabulos8506]

If you want a tip on how to make the best tocino, simmer it in pineapple juice to soften the pork and infuse it with more flavour. Once the pineapple juice completely evaporates, add some vegetable oil and watch as the leftover sugars from the juice caramelise and turn into a sticky charred coating. The end result is unbelievably soft and slightly crispy. Omg yum!!!

Filipino breakfast seems pretty similar to local breakfast here in Hawaii. All you need is eggs, white rice and your protein of choice. Canned corn beef hash, fried spam, any kind of breakfast sausage or bacon are some favorites here. Add shoyu/soy sauce and Tabasco and ketchup on the eggs and that sh*t will never not slap

[@C_cotobuki]

The breakfast you described is exactly what I had growing up as a second generation Filipino American. I think it has a lot to do with the fact that America colonized both the Philippines and Hawaii, and at the time they fed their military forces with canned meats.

[@paulbandong8162]

Well, Hawaiians are Polynesians which are also a sub group of Austronesians in which Filipino's are decended to. There's also the immigration era during the World War in the late 1800's to mid 1900's where a lot of Filipino's immigrated to Hawaii and are now living there as Hawaiians who's roots are from the Philippines. As far as I know, two the of 3 most spoken non-english language in Hawaii are from Philippines which are Tagalog and Ilocano too.

I always put my cooked rice in the same pan where I cooked the Tocino. Some may find it weird because the oil have some burnt tocino marinate or something in it, but yeah i like it 😌

[@louisuy_]

What I would've done is use the pan used for cooking the Tocino/Longanisa for frying the rice and deglaze it that way, so you get the sweetness of the meats into the rice, just adds an element of flavour and colour to the rice. It's what would make me look forward to eating rice as a kid, because I would usually chow down on the meats and leave lots of rice behind.

You're missing out on some options for acidity here to complement the meats: we usually pair grilled meat with atchara, which is pickled green papaya, but most pickled vegetables should work. Sliced raw tomatoes work well, too! And last, the usual condiment for Filipino breakfast is cane vinegar. What we lack in spices compared to other Southeast Asian cuisine, we make up for in fat and acid. :D

[@elisabasco9289]

@@nunyabiznes33 It is because our ancestors always use fresh ingredients and we like to taste the natural umami of each ingredients. For example in the Ilonggo vegetable soup "Laswa" you can taste the sweetness of the squash, the saltiness of the shrimp and the acidity of the tomato and the tartness of malunggay leaves. All these flavor caress your palette. Using strong spices sometimes cover these delicate flavors. It is the same with fresh fish. Every fish has a distinct flavor and by putting a generous amount ginger will cover that umami flavor and you will end up with ginger flavored fish.

[@alcor4670]

@@romanchristian3707 Pinoy here, born and raised in the Philippines. You can actually ditch the machine and casing (or even Josh's parchment paper). Just make finger-shaped patties, a half-inch thick. Or even burger-shaped ones. It doesn't really matter, since you're not selling them. Heck, some of the ones back home _are_ sold without the casing. We call them "skinless" longganisa, and they're a lot easier to cook, imho. If you know how to cook burgers in a skillet, you can cook a skinless longganisa. Edit: Just make sure that you cook it *longer* than you would a burger since it's made from pork -- 15 minutes minimum, better if just under 20 -- over *medium to medium-low* heat (to avoid burning the sugars). Flip them over at least three times to make sure it's all cooked evenly. Also, longganisa is often served with spiced vinegar as a dipping sauce. You'll often see bottles of vinegar with garlic, chunks of red onion, and birds-eye chilis sold in the Filipino section of Asian stores. Try and get one if you can, it's great for tocino, longganisa, and barbecued pork. If the vinegar's too strong for your taste you could dilute it with a bit of water and maybe add a tiny amount of sugar, and adjust its taste to however strong or weak you'd like it to be.
