Pork and chicken Adobo with eggs
Transcript
Narrator: What does it mean if you are asked to bring a plate? An empty plate?
[crickets chirping]
Oh, I get it. Bring a plate. In Australia, bring a plate means to bring a plate of food to share. In this series, we'll learn about the English language. So next time you're asked to bring a plate, you'll feel more confident in sharing your dish with others and asking about theirs.
It's all about coming together.
Welcome to "Bring A Plate".
So, who's here today? There's Rachel, Keyma, Rayan, Nimi, Lee, oh and JC's here.
Hey, JC!
JC: Say what would be my favorite Asian dish of all time, it would be Adobo. So, what we have here is my family's Chicken and Pork Adobo with Eggs.
Narrator: If you were asked to bring a plate and want to talk about what you've cooked, do what JC does. It's called D-I-S-H, or DISH. Each letter helps him remember what to say.
D is for describe. What is the name of the dish and what does it taste like?
I is for ingredients, what's in the dish?
S is for special. What is special about the dish?
And H is for how. How do you cook it and how do you eat it?
JC: Adobo is the Philippine national dish. So, if there was a specific dish that the Filipinos are represented by, it's this. It is sour and salty, very peppery and a little bit creamy and sweet.
Narrator: That looks good, JC. Great job on describing your dish.
Rachel: That just reminds me of Korean dish, which is the pork stew. We exactly put some quail egg as well and some eggs except the coconut milk. I haven't tasted yet, but it seems like it's similar.
JC: Yeah, so, many different families cook theirs very differently, so each family is quite different. The difference with mine is that we use many proteins like pork and chicken and even quail eggs and eggs. It's very savory. We marinate it in garlic, soy sauce, vinegar. But the key to a good adobo is the bay leaves and the pepper. So you have to be really forward with the pepper and really forward with the bay leaves. So, I really hope that you enjoy this dish.
Narrator: Whoa, with those ingredients, JC, I'm sure they will.
Keyma: Why is this dish special to you?
Narrator: Ah, great question, Keyma. I was also wondering what made this dish so special.
JC: Oh, this dish is very special to me 'cause it reminds me of my great-grandmother.
My Lola made this dish at home in the Philippines. She would make it in her outdoor kitchen. Everyone would come around when she was making it because it smelt so delicious. I remember one time we had a few guests over and Lola was cooking this chicken and pork adobo.
One of our guests was very cheeky. She couldn't wait to try it. I remember catching her tasting adobo while it was cooking. She was slurping away with a big spoon.
I couldn't believe it! I laughed and I asked, "What are you doing?" Her face went red and she said, "It just tastes so good." But I was kind of jealous 'cause I wanted to do it too! I wanted to do it. But yeah, I caught her red handed stealing adobo sauce.
Rachel: Can we start eating?
JC: We should, we should start! Let's go.
[Upbeat guitar playing]
JC: How was that, good?
Rayan: Oh, such a great dish. How do you make this, JC?
Narrator: Yeah, Rayan, how did he make it? And I hope they left a little for me.
JC: Well, our family, we do this quite differently. Some Filipino families would use one protein, so, they would have either just chicken or either pork. But with my family, we try to combine both for different textures. So, we will cook the pork and the the chicken separately and then we'll bring them into the halfway through together to kind of marry. And we also then do something creamy at the end. So, from my side, we put like coconut cream and then like a runny egg to just give it a better mouth feel. So, I'm glad you really liked it.
Nimi: Yeah, I loved it. Vinegar and coconut married together. That was really nice.
Rachel: Yeah, I think the salty, sourness and a peppery kind of taste, the creamy has been blended everything, so, which is really nice. We really enjoyed it.
JC: Oh, that's awesome.
Narrator: All right! And that's how you nail DISH.
Next time, I'll be ready with my own dish and I'll try making chicken adobo, but I'll probably eat it all myself.
