I think people seem confused. The point of this series isn't to be perfectly authentic dishes, though he does videos about that too. The point is to make something besides ramen when you are on a ramen budget.
The ones talking about authenticity when it comes to filipino food, are probably ignorant of the fact that filipino food is basically fusion cuisine. It takes inspiration from all the cultures that influenced it, and mashes them up into its own unique flavor. Practically every single household has its own recipe, and everyone is convinced that the meal their mama makes is the best. Adobo epitomizes this because outside of the most basic cooking method, which is to cook the meal in vinegar, you can change the recipe by adding other ingredients and it would still be adobo. There's Adobong Dilaw (uses turmeric), Adobo sa Gata (uses coconut milk), etc. My mom is personally fond of adding pineapple to her adobo, while I prefer a sweeter and thicker sauce by using oyster sauce and carrots.
I think there's no really an authentic way in Filipino dishes because everyone has their own version. Also, some dishes like really differ on ingredients and taste depending on where you are in the Philippines.
YES!! Ive not had filipino food since term started. Since im on student budget, the last thing I want is to perfect a single dish that would probably only last me 2-3 meals. Also the series is literally called STRUGGLE meals 😩 nobody is trying to gourmet anything here
Every household in the Philippines has their own way of preparing adobo, pancit and lumpia but this vid gives justice to them. We always try to experiment with these dishes and call it our own household dish. So please no hate comments for this vid. I'm a Filipino and I love how he did it.
It wasn't perfect but it was close enough to get the right feel. That said, he was using some weak fish sauce. If you go to an Oriental store and try to get a matching color, you are in for a surprise. A few drops is enough in my experience. Heating up a tablespoon on the stove to make pancit will stink up your house for a month.
@@ojannen First time my husband cooked with fish sauce, he opened the bottle and thought it had gone "off" so he chucked it out!! We know better now, and love it!!!
I watched this with my Filipino mom and she approves and I asked her if we can make some adobo and she said “I’m not your maid putang ina” and started hitting me with her slipper lmao
Thanks for featuring Filipino food, dude! :) Just a quick clarification though, Adobo isn't exactly a Spanish influence per se. Unbeknownst to popular knowledge, it's basically a Spanish attempt to describe how the locals were cooking certain dishes around the colonial period. Refrigeration wasn't a thing back then, so vinegar helped preserved food. The Spanish believed some sort of marination was being done, thus "Adobar." Eventually the process of making this dish "Adobo" stuck as a name for the dish itself. The relation of Filipino food to Mexican is mostly because of the Manila-Acapulco trade carried out during Spanish colonization and isn't necessarily the Mexican influencing the Filipinos, but an exchange between both. -- TLDR info from your friendly Philippine Anthropologist. ;)
@@epvendetta A good, general starting point which doesn't include the complicated jargon of academic publications and journals, would be the encyclopedic line released by Reader's Digest Asia entitled "Kasaysayan: The Story of the Filipino People." Volume 2 ("The earliest Filipinos") might be of your interest as it celebrates the ingenuity of the archipelago's inhabitants before the Spanish colonization. Volume 3: The Spanish Conquest has interesting insights regarding what the Spanish came upon of Philippine life in the early days of colonialism. It's well-researched by big-named historians, ethnographers, archaeologists, etc. but simplified enough to be understood by all. Try googling the Boxer Codex too, it contains interesting illustrations of observations of locals, the Philippines included, during the Spanish period. Hope it helps! :)
@@bb2na473 Well it's not really much of an improvement. Lumpia is just an egg roll with any filling. Every household has something different in their lumpia. Like ours, we sauté the vegetables along with the meat instead of just putting the cooked meat in a bowl of raw vegetables. There are times that we have leftover pancit, we use that as a filling instead. Lumpia is versatile so anything they add that's not exactly Filipino is okay especially in this context where their audience is mostly Westerners.
Im not filippino and i have no idea if these recipes are authentic or not.. but why all the hate comments !! He's trying to make filippino food on budget using ingredients that u can find in most of ur supermarkets ! For example i cant find authentic ingredients in my place so i think his recipes will be just perfect and the closest filippino food ill ever eat. Great video trying those recipes soon for sure :)
I'm Filipino and I totally agree with you. This is actually a guide for foreigners. But even I cook with whatever I find in our pantry. No need to stick with original recipe. I even prefer using banana blossom as lumpia filling rather than using meat. And for pansit we even use beef loaf if you dont have meat available. It's just a matter of being creative on a budget.
Made the Pancit at home this evening and loved it! We added more soy sauce and traded snow peas for celery as that is what we had on hand. Delicious and easy. You are the best, Frankie.
For a non-Filipino guy, I think he did pretty well. Heck, I put anything I want in my adobo and pancit. People should stop commenting how authentic or not the dish is and just appreciate this guy appreciating our food. To be fair, every household in the Philippines does these dishes differently.
Just because we have a tendency to nitpick when people try to cook our food (even other Filipinos), I'd say he did a pretty good job of each one (pronunciation aside). I always had Thai sweet chilli sauce with lumpia at home though, but that might just have been my family.
What i love about lumpia is that if ever you have leftover fillings, you can either make fried rice, stir-fry, or shawarma. Or u could do all. Also to be honest, here in the Philippines you can either just make meat filled lumpia or vegetable lumpia. So if you’re really tight on budget just choose which you’re gonna cook
The salt in the comments is saltier than my Adobo wth calm down people. Frankie is making his own twist of the dishes for the american viewers, no need to be super authentic. One thing tho, the Philippine flag with red on the left side signifies that we are at war, which we currently isn't.
@@angelopacana7912 um no? There's a law regarding this. Unless the Philippines is at war, the flag (when displayed vertically) must have the blue side on the left and red side on the right. I'm not making this up, it's the law.
Please ignore the salty comments! Thank you for showing off Filipino food and your own versions of them. We don't typically use cilantro and sesame oil but I imagine it would add a new dimension to the flavor! Also, the pansit needs to be more mixed in with the sauce/broth so it obtains its signature brown-ish color. I hope you enjoyed eating the food you prepared and that people on a budget found inspiration in your video! ♡
for dessert: pastillas mix condensed milk with powdered milk until it’s like a dough and then scoop some dough and roll it, then dip that into sugar. after that you leave it in the fridge for a little i use 1/4 cup of sugar, 1/2 cup of powdered milk, and like 7oz of condensed milk
Filipino American here. Good job. Nitpickers, so our spaghetti is real Italian spaghetti huh? Get over yourself, they like the food finally. It's a long time coming.
Thank you for this

Hahaha classic filipino mom! Haha
A moment of silence for the sacrificial first lumpia.
Hahahaha
my dog loves it
No sacrifice if you make sure you have a high smoke point oil at 350°-375°F.

The first one in the batch is always the sacrificial one for me but it's the crispiest

Wow thank you for pointing this out nobody actually believed me when I told them the history of adobo T_T
Wow
I love how Frankie did not try and “improve” the dishes by adding other ingredients that Filipinos don’t really use. Mabuhay, Frankie!!
he added Sriracha in his lumpia
he added rice vinegar, that mostly Japanese

Am filipino and i do agree to what you said. Amen to that
Typical filipino keyboard warriors. Theyre dumb.. Dont mind them..😂
They're not authentic at all but they're a pretty good substitute when you don't have the resources.
Just have soy sauce and white vinegar available and you can make any food filipino

My lumpia brings all the boys to the yard
... and they're like, "Putang ina mo".
"tangina wag niyo ubusin yung lumpia!"
"Putangina sino nag luto niya? Penge nga!"
WTF!!! ubos na ang lumpia..!!!???
More like I come to get the boys' lumpia😋😜

U are absolutely right. We also used the thai sauce. So yummy
I never used sweet chili sauce...we make our own
ay hindi ka nag-iisa sa sweet thai chilli sauce! it's the bomb... pag wala, gawa na lang! haha!
bruh not just you i like that light red saucy goodness
Ketchup lang gamit namin ahahahaha
I love watching non-filipinos new filipino food. It helps me understand how other people view our food. Great video btw!
a Filipino college student's struggle meal includes instant pancit canton and some canned food with rice. You get a full meal for less than $1
you should change your diet to avoid illness brought upon by eating salty and highly processed foods.
Canned fish+rice+leftover stir fried vegetables. It is filling and inexpensive, and definitely better than the instant noodles route.
omg yes also torta everything

In fairness, magaling sya mabalot ng lumpia. Aminin natin, ok yung mga recipes na ginawa nya. ❤
Agreed mas magaling siya magbalot kaysa sa ninang ko xD
sikat yan lahat dito sa pinas at swak sa budget.
Ok talaga mura pa
Okay, lumpia lovers, ATTACK!!! Iwasang maglagay sa bulsa, WAG MADUGA!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Filipino American here. Good job.
Nitpickers, so our spaghetti is real Italian spaghetti huh? Get over yourself, they like the food finally. It's a long time coming.
TBH Filipino spaghetti is the worst. Way too sweet. Sue me lol
You're correct. He who cooks will adjust according to his taste buds, ha-ha! But our Pancit has never been sweet, right ?
I love Pinoy spaghetti. I recently bought a bottle of banana ketchup just for that....
Thank you for this![ I had a best friend for 20 years who's mom was Filipino and she made everything you are cooking and I devoured it . Now with this channel I see it's not that hard and I can make it on my own
Try pancit and lumpia at the same time,thats heaven ♥️
Combo meal in philippines.
I'm filipino and i approve these dishes!!
Stop lying..
I'm a Filipino, and I like the way Tastemade made a feature of our Filipino Dishes. Yes, there were some details that were missed. Yes, the cooking was not on point. But hey! People have their way of cooking a certain dish, and they have individual preferences.
To my fellow Filipino Hate commenters, stop spreading cancer! You've already done enough elsewhere! Do not spread it here.
@andrew Lopez, Tama.
Ikr, Filipinos have their own different way of cooking those dishes anyway. I should know because I am too.
Well said. Its good enough they featured our food , why the comments in return!?
bro idk about "cultures living in harmony" we were hella colonised
Indeed man
I once bought a family sized tray of uncooked lumpia from this lady on Facebook marketplace. And I'll refrain from disclosing how quick my roommate and I ate them because we'd look like total fatties. I improvised a pretty yummy sauce out of honey and chili garlic cock sauce. I am SO gonna make these.
Hey, Filipino home cook here. maybe it will sound strange to others but in Filipino cooking, garlic goes on the pan first before anything else. Some people dont really mind the little charred flavor that comes with it. Heck, some people dont like the taste of 'raw' garlic in their ulam. 😊
Yes. Agreed.
Yeah I always put the garlic first in any recipe. I had no idea it was Filipino thing. Haha
Not all Filipino cooking though... 😕😕
It depends on how you cut your garlic and the heat under your pan. I personally hate the taste of raw garlic but I equally hate the taste of burnt garlic too. Lol
lol??? garlic first? and filipino cooking??? not at all...most of the people i know who cooks even amateurs know that onions come first before garlic. Don't label your garlic first ignorance to be "FILIPINO COOKING". It;s your cooking..not Filipino
.
Yoh 20-something filipino here that had no experience in cooking properly.
I've been using Struggle Meals as a guide since the first episode, it inspired me enough that I started buying ingredients and experimenting.
First it was using left overs, then I found myself at the grocery buying garlic powder and paprika for cheap and using them to elevate simple meals.
And now THIS.
I love y'all.
The sacrificed lumpia 😂
I will never sacrifice one though. 😂😂
IS GOING STRAIGHT TO MAH MOUTH!
The packet drawer cracks me up! Go forth, strugglers, and steal as many packets as you can!
Tried the adobo tonight and the family loved it! Thank you ❤️
Frankie! I ❤ watching your shows on public television. Need more episodes!!!
And to all the people saying it's not authentic....it's not meant to be. Besides, when did you ever find an authentic pinoy food in the Philippines? You go from province to province, house to house amd they all have their own version. Stop nitpicking!
Hi Frankie! Had fun watching this, thanks! 👏 Well done. 😁👏👍 Just a bit of Philippine food history: the practice of braising food (such as pork, chicken, seafood) in vinegar existed in the Philippines long before the Spaniards arrived, so it’s not actually something we got from Spain or Mexico at all. (Our ancestors found that it helps keep food edible for a longer period in our tropical climate, without refrigeration.) Upon seeing Filipino natives cooking with so much vinegar for the first time, the Spaniards were reminded of their own cuisine’s practice of marinading meats in a vinegar-based stock-mix in order to preserve them for winter, and quickly came to refer to the Filipino way of cooking with vinegar with the same word they used for their food preservation / cooking technique - “adobo” or “adobar”. The term stuck, and today we Filipinos use that same word. However, when you say “adobo” here, it doesn’t necessarily mean a chicken or pork adobo. (Though it often is.) Adobo actually encompasses a range of dishes that involve cooking stuff in vinegar, and ingredients vart greatly. So you can have adobong pusit (squid adobo), adobong kangkong (swamp cabbage adobo), quail egg adobo, dinuguan (a soupy pork blood dish), goat meat, and even python, etc. LOL! It’s like our default go-to cooking method: when in doubt, adobo it! LOLZ. 😁 And an adobo can be done without using soy sauce (called “puti” or white) at all. (Soy sauce is an idea that we got from our Chinese immigrants a few centuries ago.) And we commonly use coconut, cane, or rice vinegar, which is really strongly flavored stuff.
My favorite chicken adobo recipe is similar to what’s shown here, except I add coconut milk (“gata”). Not sure if that’s cheap in the West, though.
So happy to see our foods being interpreted and celebrated! It's wonderful!
One thing that is consistent with Asian food is that they have soy sauce,lime,ginger, cilantro,& rice.Just buy these and do what you want.
Don't forget the sesame oil too 😉
Disagree with the cilantro but the rest 👌
Garlic and scallions
Erin Walker we don’t use cilantro in Filipino food. Not all Asian cuisines use the same ingredients
Erin Walker no cilantro for filipino food. Mostly used in vietnamese or thai dishes i think
I love these recipes and his enthusiasm! This series is one of my favorites to watch.
Why are people saying it isn't authentic. I'm Filipino, lived in the Philippines all my life and the way he cooked the dishes are authentic af.
coz you're not a native cook?
Yeah these keyboard warriors probably never stepped foot here. Tangina, sabihin nila hindi authentic? Excuse me, ever heard of regional dishes and family recipes? LOL mema lang sila
All the procedure is wrong. You should know why. Imagine the adobo with celantro.
@@archangelmystic1971 dude, it's adobo. As long as there's vinegar in it, its adobo. Have you not been in any other parts of the Philippines where people put all sorts of vegetables in their adobo?
Go to a farming community and their adobo has all sorts of stuff in it specially during harvest time.
Filipino cuisine specially adobo is a very versatile dish.
@@lunakelly2113 what is that sinigang?
Having lived next to two sets of Filipino neighbors, these are pretty authentic interpretations of Filipino food. Pancit is my very favorite and I love me some lumpia. Good job, Frankie!
Frankie being vegetarian friendly again
My vegetarian friends love "lumpiang sariwa" and I think it's better than the fried lumpia if you're only going to use veggies. :D
Pancit generally contains pork or shrimp. But I like that he didn't include those ingredients to make it vegetarian-friendly. :-)
So fun to watch you cook. Thanks for doing this. I will try it.
You did great! Im filipino, and I approve your dishes! Thank you for recognizing our country's wonderful flavors, and turning it into something people can easily make on a struggle meal budget. I love that! 😊
Nitpickers: Go Away! Ugh. So much negativity on the internet istg 😑
It’s great to see Filipino recipes here. Thank you so much.
there's no perfect way to really cook adobo and or pancit , even here in the Philippines once you go to a different place they have many different ways to cook delicious filipino food
Big thumbs up for this guy for showcasing the filipino food. And presenting it in a budget friendly manner. Yes you can enjoy great food without breaking the bank. By the way for some filipinos who somewhat disagreed to the way he cooks these dishes, plllllllleeeeeeease!!!!!! There are no single version of all filipino dishes. It depends on regional and families own way of cooking it. So you cannot claim that the way you or your family cook a certain dish is the authentic one. Get life
*I'm here for the comments*
same
Putang ina mo bakla
Interesting version of filipino food.
The way he cooked adobo was just the same with my grandma. I think it is always different to every household.
I think he is a chef, you made it looks simple to make. Nice..
Pls make a cheap Indian food episode
especially chicken biryani
Bro, Indian food is cheap by itself. Do we really need a white guy to show us how? :P
discoguru it’s not cheap when you live in North America bro
subscribe to Pewdiepie :3
he can't make authentic indian food.
Love this show. Loved it even more because of the Filipino Food recipes you're showing everyone.
happy to hear that
You actually pulled it off. Bless you
Pro-tip: if you don't wanna bother making sweet and spicy vinegar sauce for the lumpia, ketchup is a pretty good condiment alternative. Of course a vinegar with hot sauce would work too.
Or sweet chili sauce used sparingly.
Damn, People are saltier than soy sauce in this comment section.
What a refreshing way you cooked these Filipino dishes! I will try your way in cooking the chicken adobo. Thanks.
you forget to squeeze a wedge of lemon to the pancit :)
I thought you guys prefer calamansi?
you meant calamansi
@@nevillelongbottom106 yes calamansi is the preferred citrus of choice. You should know that it is a lemon variety, so technically he's not wrong. BTW, pancit is delicious with standard Eureka or Lisbon lemons as well. Enjoy!
@@nevillelongbottom106 Yah but its struggle meals so lemon is readilly available than calamansi. right? :)
@@nikkojoson9796 I wouldn't know. I live in Asia. Lemons are harder to find.
wow this is awesome! and you make it look easy! i tried cooking all thee dishes and they were great! amazing video! thanks
Dude used way more ingredients in his versions than my family. I guess we took struggle to the extreme. On a related note, made pertada for my boyfriend which fed us for 3 days and it cost less than 1 trip to Starbucks for us.
Those are great choices for budget friendly Filipino recipes!
I approve of this and most importantly, I approve of Frankie ❤️
I can’t even perfectly cook these dishes! Happy to see clips that showcased Filipino cuisines.
🇵🇭 Thank you for representing Filipino food!!
Just. Brilliant.

Also, I realized last night that he reminds me very much of John Ritter.
New subscriber here! Philippines 🇵🇭 The way you cooked Filipino authentic foods. Respect!
Thank you for featuring Filipino food!
Nice channel and love your kitchen
Every struggle meal always has rice in em and believe it or not McDonald's is more expensive than just a local restaurant meal that's on the side of a street looking like a canteen plus it's usually $1 only for a full meal with rice, some meat, and soup. And pancit's a celeboratory or party food, not exactly a struggle one. Lumpia is also usually eaten with rice and any sauce of your liking.
Honestly glad how he approached this. It wasn't meant to be super accurate, but it's trying to introduce Filipino food, with ingredients others are more familiar with. He did a good job capturing the essence of each dish, while adapting to the constraints. Good job.
Can you do Indian food as well please!!!!!!
You're fun to watch with especially on cooking the food, Im an instant fan. I already subscribed and hit the bell for notifications.
_Showed this to my gf, realised she only makes japanese food._
ive never seen anyone else cook and hype filipino food as you have and i honestly love it!! hahaha
in our place, our adobo has sugar in it.
In our place it's called humba
My mom puts very little vinegar and squeezes kalamansi in it. It’s amazing!
You got me subscribe dude..
Food is a blessings..
And you got it all just like us, no waste. We cooked everything from root to tip of the plants and from head to toe of an animals. Good job! God bless
The intro 😂 but where’s Jen?!? Thanks for acknowledging the 🇵🇭
Dishes looks really good 👍. Awesome tip on pre-cooking the pork (for the lumpiang shanghai filling). I tend to cook my spring roll a lot longer just to make sure the pork's cooked. I know what to do next time 😊. Thanks for the tip.
The premise of Filipino food is to not waste any ingredient, most street food in PH are from scraps, even the most famous delicacies like sisig are from scraps of pork. It's cause we were oppressed by the many nationalities who entered the country all we can do is copy something out of the delicacies they eat.
Light, fun to watch and all in all good vid presenting good food on a budget. 👍😊
*GARLOOOC*
*adobarrr*
pehn-sit!
I've been watching many cooking channel for sometime now and i must say that filipino dish got me hungry the most.
FILIPINO FOODS = Chinese, "native Filipino", Indian, Spanish, Mexican, a bit of Japanese, American, and lots of garlic and vinegar(depends on the dish) 😁
You created Filipino budget meal with your own twist. Thank you from Philippines.
Please dont ise cabbage in lumpia, its a weird flavor. Also in pansit, toss it after the noodles. Cook the carrots first.
He's a professional. I think he knows how to cook...
@nerubiandude not much but it does have a little potassium and Vitamin C
Guess he likes his carrots hard as rocks
Hi i am filipino,And i like your way of cooking easy and quickly,I’m glad your cooking filipino dishes,thumbs up for you
if you're lazy enough to cook the sauce for lumpia you can use a vinegar with chopped onions, garlic and jalapeno.
Filipino here enjoyed this video very much !! I love your energy you are exciting to watch!! Thank you!!
Sorry. We Filipinos do not put cilantro in our adobo.
Pau De Los Santos I am a filipino and thr purpose of the video is not to cook authentic food (leave it to pinoy chefs). So just appreciate that they are trying to pay homage to our dish. Honestly speaking, cilantro or wansoy is native in our wet markets so why not.
Good job Tastemade and thank you for sharing our cuisine to the world!
Bobo
I put nuts and basil in my adobo. I’m Pinoy. My best friend, white dude, puts potatoes and lots of sauce in his adobo and I love it.
I am loving this guy's jolly attitude while cooking. Very nice indeed 😃
Don’t put cabbage in lumpia please.
Why not?
We put sisig in our lumpia. Sometimes bananas and sometimes balut. We won’t put cabbage in your lumpia but you can’t stop us from putting anything in ours.
Add the darned cabbage in there!

I made the chicken adobo tonight for dinner, and my boyfriend came in when the chicken hit the hot pan he said "I just want to take that smell and just bite it, it smells so good". Needless to say it was a hit
