The main reason why Filipinos use spoon and fork when eating because it's more convenient for us to use them when eating fried food, soup and rice at the same time but mainly because of the rice and soup. BTW, when preparing the lechon in the Philippines, you usually stuff herbs and spices inside the belly, some would use milk or a mixture of soy sauce and vinegar (and other spices) apply it on the skin and then roast the pig for hours. For the lechon kawali, you need to boil the meat (pork belly)first until it's tender,you can add herbs and spices while boiling the meat to add flavor. Sprinkle salt on the skin before deep frying it to make skin super crispy and blistery (almost the same method for the crispy pata).

The brown gravy is liver sauce.. Best known liver sauce AKA all purpose dipping sauce, brand name is mang tomas that should be available on most filipino grocery store. The flan is the same as the mexican version difference is mexican i believe is baked.. filipino version is steamed mostly the caramel is thinner in layer vs other flan
@gustlightfall7 жыл бұрын
Okay just to clear it up, normal way of roasting pig makes blisters too, its just that the way a lechon baboy is roasted is different, it is slow roasted, and you can't leave it while roasting, you have to attend to it till its ready. It is roasted over white coal and flaming red embers are not recommended, the distance over the heat source is also higher than normal roasting. While rotating over the coal pit, it is always basted by its own fat to keep it moist and avoid the blisters/cracklings, this is continuously done by a staggering 6 hours. Lechon Kawali is done by blanching the pork belly with a bay leaf, some soysauce and garlic. It is air dried in 24 hours and then deep fried in high temperatures to get the crackling finish. Although it has the name lechon, its preparation and the way it is cooked has no similarities to the traditional lechon. Lechon Manok is Chicken Lechon, it is prepared similarly like a Pork Lechon, but cooked simpler than the pork one. It is not basted while being roasted and can be done with 30-40 minutes. Just like Lechon Kawali the lechon name in lechon manok bares no similarities to the traditional lechon, as lechon means suckling pig roasted over charcoal. Ultimately there are many types of lechon in the Philippines each region boasting their own take of the recipe as the best, some stays true to the original suckling pig, others uses different spices and herbs.

Filipino Pork lechon's skin is really not blistered. Because the pig is stuffed with salt, pepper, garlic, onions and lemongrass then slowly roasted in charcoal pit usually minimun of 4 hours until the skin is crispy red. Lechon kawali is deep fried pork belly.

Filipino style flan is steamed instead of baked. And you hit the flavor profile in the head, it's made with egg yolk and condensed milk. Flan is so good, it almost makes the philippines being colonized by spain worth it. Nice to know that mexicans have their own version of flan. Makes sense considering both the philippines and mexico were former spanish colonies.

Hey leah Filipino Lechon is prepared by stuffing the whole pig with lemongrass garlic onions pepercorns depending on the place where you get it from what they would add to that then while the pork is roadting they would wipe the pig with mixture of sauces to infuse the pig with more flavor thanks for listening.

One thing about take out filipino food, they sometimes cheap out on some of the sauces or ingredients. So whenever I get lechon, I usually buy a bottle of lechon sauce or gravy like Mang Tomas Lechon Sauce. For Palabok I would buy a bag of crushed chicharon and sprinkle it all over the Palabok.

@jeffreyhermosa7 жыл бұрын
The reason for the un-blistered and thin lechon skin is because it was slowly roasted on a constant rotating skewer or bamboo using charcoal so the whole pig is cooked evenly. the reddish color of the skin comes from the constant basting of soy-sauce marinade while it's being roasted. traditionally applied with a brush made of banana leaves strips. the reason its so crispy is because underneath the skin, the fat of pig itself serves as the oil the cooks the skin from outside as well as the inside. so yes that is how a lechon is supposed to look like.

"When in a party, how do you stop eating lechon?" Well, you really have no choice but to stop eating lechon, coz there's no more lechon left! (^_^) It's usually the first thing to disappear in the buffet table! The lechon table (the lechon usually has its own table) is the first table everyone goes to right after the prayer-before-meal! Many go there even before getting plates, forks, and spoons just to grab a piece of that very prized crispy skin before it disappears.

Yes, actually when you attend parties, the lechon gets eaten first and fast! :P If you come late, only the head would be left! LOL Your wife had a question about when you went to Chowking, why did you cut it off? Maybe they have their own version of crispy pata? Because all I know, it is pork.. BTW, I have a question, is there any Filipino dishes that you know of that is dipped in ranch? Just curious if there is a new thing because I don't eat out much anymore ~~~ The flan is eggy because it is made from of a looooot of egg yolks.. Oh and BTW, I like how Ben's cheeks are naturally rosy!
