What do you think? Should I share some more my Guamanian food favorites?

[@suanud6026]

Yes I think you should make all of the types of kelaguen

[@katherinekantner4583]

Yes!

@@suanud6026 I LOVE chicken kelaguen.

‘Been eating Finadene all my life. Never made it myself successfully though, I always waited for my aunties to make it. I think I’ll change that this year. Thanks!

[@Dadwithapan]

its so easy to make, you got this!

@@Dadwithapan Spot on, 50% lemon juice (has to be fresh) and 50% soy sauce (has to be Kikkoman). No vinegar yuck thats ghetto my mom and grandma and 5 siblings would cringe. Measure out your lemon juice first, the add an equal amount of soy. That way you'll never have to add vinegar. We eat it fresh, marinade for an hour or so or long enough for the onions and hot peppers to release their liquid. I don't like finadene older than maybe 48 hours, the green onions go limp, the lemon loses its fresh brightness and it creeps me out. But that's just me. Try adding finely chopped red onion or shallot, mix some jalpenos (not hot these days) and thai bird chilis. Enough onion/chili to take up 3/4 of the liquid. Like chunky salsa, I call it chunky finadene. Nobody I know does it this way but the onions/chilis once pickled are the star, right? Trust me, you'll never go back to the traditional 90% liquid.

I’m also mixed Mexican / Chamorro and thank you for sharing this recipe chelu

Thank you for keeping our culture alive Bro..! I wish you and your family well during these times. Watching from the island of Guam brother..!

[@Dadwithapan]

Nice! Haven't been to Guam since I as a kid but looking to schedule a trip out there to show my kids when this all blows over!

[@keithwalton3437]

We visited Guam years ago when our son served there with the USCG. We love the history, culture and especially the food!

[@grizzdadjorts]

Hell yeah Chamorro corned beef and cabbage! I'm going to make that tonight.

[@Dadwithapan]

So cool to see others like it too!

I spent 18 months on Guam, Love the finidene, we add vinegar and brown sugar to the sauce

[@irenemeno3585]

You did such a great job with this video. So many don't know the treasures of Guam. ❤😊

[@vincentking8267]

I've been trying to remember what Finadene was called for YEARS! It was one of the best dang dishes i ever had went i spent time there. I just recently picked up stuff for the red rice, im gonna go to town now, thank you!

[@duetlawless1223]

Island marination on your chicken too! The best!

[@stellafromcali9417]

Thanks for this video,, this is exactly how I was introduced to finadene with grilled chicken!! So my daughter married a Chomorro 20+ yrs ago and his parents came California visit and introduced me to Guamanian food,OMG! I fell in love with finadene and I can eat it with anything. I also loved the pickled green mango which was grown in their backyard and the super duper hot spicy hot sauce from peppers that were grown from seeds that were digested from birds. I love spicy, I'm Latina, but his dad warned me to take it easy with that sauce and to put it on my burrito tortilla with the tines of a fork, not by the spoonful, he was right, lol! Rest in peace Mr Paul Aguon, I'm so glad I met you and your lovely wife, that I was introduced to your lovely proud culture and that we share 3 beautiful Chamorro grandkids. ❤ I'm a subscriber now! 😊

Lived on Guam 4 years , loved it all. Red rice and lumpia was my favorite foods. Trying to find a recipe for chicken adobo.

[@berniegrong5388]

I miss Guam food so much!!! I grew up on Guam and left for college and only go back to visit every 7-9 yrs because of work

[@Dadwithapan]

Havent been since I was 5 but these recipes bring back childhood memories of our family reunions!

[@lukawskipaul]

Served in Guam 🇬🇺 all the Chamorro I knew on the island used Calamansi instead of lemons. Makes a HUGE difference. Probably hard af to get in the states though. If you can find some, use them. Hafa Adai bro

My mom is from Guam and I grew up "trying" to eat finadene. Thanks for the great video.

Keleguen on top of red rice is sooo good! It’s on my list of videos to make 👍

[@marieishizaki8503]

Yes! My son requests chicken kelaguen almost daily! Even when we have had it for like 3 days straight (I make a lot) lol. I usually make with red rice, tatiya, finadene, and chamorro BBQ ribs.

[@dannyboydeluxfromthebigitybay]

Don't be embarrassed bro that's better than having your parents bringing home fastfood everyday

[@Dadwithapan]

Dude so true! Fast food was a once an a while treat for us growing up

Wait, I live in Hawaii and we had canned corn beef and cabbage with rice all the time.

[@saintscrusader5172]

Are there peppers that can be substituted for each one? My super markets here in Las Vegas don’t have Thai and fresno peppers.

[@Dadwithapan]

Fresno are basically just overripened jalapeños, so you could sub those jalapeño. Thai might be trickier, if you can find cayenne, that’ll be your best bet, if not I’d try Serrano

[@lawrenceblas4276]

[@chamorrobellygoodfoodcecil5486]

Not sure why you marinate the finadene, but that’s ok it’s to your taste, although it takes the freshness out of the ingredients. Guamanians gotta have this daily on every meal and it’s gotta be super spicy… enjoy

[@ninjafartin321]

"Corn beef and cabbage with rice.... Guamanian dish".. Polynesians: "faka he say?"

[@danialmanalo8191]

Make chicken kalagen

[@rayz671]

Don't use sugar. Use 7up. Try blending sweet tart fruit like Mango and toss it in there instead of brown sugar. I dont use water either. Corned beef and cabbage is champion! On rice or with pandesal! Lol

[@suanud6026]

Do you have to make the 7up flat?
