How to Cook Filipino FoodVegetarian+Vegan friendly

Let's go to Mesina and buy Pulutan! I love lumpia! Gusto ko ang lumpia. I love lumpia! Ronnie, go and get a job! Now clean up after yourself! How many times
do I have to tell you, huh?! You're not even paying rent! Go! I don't want to! Oh my goodness! MAYA: Can you believe this one?!
JACKIE: You always do this to me! This one here! You know she's not paying
rent?! She's not cleaning up after herself! I have to cook, and she's just like, you know, lying there. Anyway, good evening. I'm Chef, Shameless and today we are
going to be cooking the lumpia, okay? This is my favorite one! The lumpia, (I love) lumpia,
okay?! That is it, no more is said! That is how I feel for the lumpia! Now this is a specialty that requires a lot of prep work.


So you have to make sure to set aside time. This is a good one for special occasions, okay? It's... (You know) a lot of work! You have to cut and chop
finely all the ingredients that will be going into this one, you know, the wrapping. So, I recommend doing this one for the holidays, family parties,
debut, special occasions, okay? It's a lot of work.

It is a good one to give to a friend or
family member because this is a lot, you know? And I'm by myself--I have to do this all by myself! But I have you! So it's not so bad, you know? Let us get cooking! First, you'll need cabbage. Then, you'll need onions. Oh, then you'll need a sprout, it's so good! Then you will need a carrot. Stop being so dirty.

It is not a required one, but I love
it anyways. It is my favorite: potato, potato. Then you will need the most important ingredient. It's the roll.

But, in the Philippines call it lumpia. You might call it
spring roll, but for us, we call it lumpia. Now we are going to fry. You need to
get oil, organic oil if you have to.

I'm going to be making this one for the vegetarians
because there are a lot of vegetarian viewers. But if you like meat, you know, the pork, the
beef, you can go ahead and add that. But I am a disgrace to my culture! I don't even eat beef or pork! I don't know!
Am I Pinoy anymore? I don't know. I'm Pinoy, I just do not eat beef or pork! Okay! Now we are going to get to work.

Come on! This is everything! You have to make sure everything is clean! So you have to wash. I am using a vegetable wash, okay? You have to clean your fruits and vegetables because it's dirty. And then you chop, chop, chop very finely, you know, because you
don't want to distort your spring roll with big things. This is a lot of work.

This is how we stay in shape. Chop everything so finely with the those nimble filipino fingers. Do not cut yourself, you have to be very careful! So you don't want them to be big and distort the wrapping paper. You have to make it small.

That is everything all chopped! You know you have to add a little flavor with the garlic. Then you mix it around and add some soy sauce because I love it! The potato must be boiled first so it's soft, then
you put the potato into everything, like that. Sprout is last! Put anything you like: salt,
sesame oil, sweet and sour, your favorite. And then you have to get your rice paper.

And be very delicate, okay? Use two tablespoons, and then you put water on the
edges. This is acting like a glue, okay? Like an envelope, like you are mailing to a penpal back home! But you are using water instead of glue, because the water is the glue. Make sure it is wrapped tightly! Because you don't want
it to undo when you are frying it! That is it! Like that! Ta-dah! You have your chopstick, okay? And this is the lumpia. I have to make sure this is hot.

Okay, to
check, I will put a piece of carrot. That is boiling, so that is how I
know it is ready. Okay, dunking time! You can do two at a time, okay? So the trick here is to make sure the
oil is hot, but not too hot. Make sure it is a brown color.

And you're using
chopsticks because you don't want to break the wrapper. And it comes out everywhere, you don't want that! That's the one. Then you have to have paper towels, because it is
oily, you know? So the paper towel will absorb the oil. This is cooked, uncooked, cooking.

But look! Come take a closer look! That is making a cute sound, so cute!
The bubbling of the oil is cute. Rice, crackle pop. Kellogs Rice Krispies! That one, rice?! You know we love rice. Download this song.

This is by my Pinoy brother,
Jay Ellyiot, okay?! You download and support. Support the Filipino movement! Jay Ellyiot is Pinoy. This is a good video for us to do because we
are loving our Pinoy culture and our Pinoy pride. That is it! Practice makes perfect.

Or close to it. Because nobody's perfect, right? Although my lumpia is pretty darn perfect if you
ask me. It is pretty darn perfect! But, look at that! Look at that golden brown! All that oil! That is going right to my
belly! I have to work out now! I don't like working out, but I will have
to work out if I'm eating like this! Oh my God! It's coming out! No! Don't blow up in my kitchen! No! Oh my goodness! It blew up! Oh my goodness! World War! Look! Oh no! My goodness! It blew up! I...It's... My plate...

You see what I mean? You have to make sure you seal it
tightly before you put it in here because now look at that. This is hard work! Hard work. For Pete's sake! It's okay, I saved the day, you know? You make due with the cards that life is handing you. I saved the day! And I have one lumpia roll.

That is it! Cooking with Chef Shameless! I want you to try cooking this one at home, okay? For a family get together. And I want you to
tag me on Instagram, hashtag Chef Shameless, okay? JACKIE: I'm hungry! Chef Shameless. I know I'm saying 'shep', but I mean Chef Shameless, okay? Tag me; I want to see how you make the lumpia, okay? Make sure to do you, be you, stay true! Be shameless! Do you boo! I will see you soon! So that is it! Make sure you subscribe. Make sure
you like this video, if you like food.

If you like to eat food, might as well,
why don't you just like this video? And I remember growing up as a little one. When I was in school, the kids--the white kids--they were making fun
of me because I am eating a different food, you know? They're saying, 'what is that?! What is that, that smells different!' You're so different! Why do you have to eat like that?! And I was so sad because they all had the sandwich, you know, they had the wonder
bread with the cold cut and lettuce and mustard and ketchup and I have my rice. My Pinoy food--I don't want to eat it anymore. So I go home and I tell my mom, 'mommy, I don't want this, I don't like it! It's, you
know, the kids at school are making fun of me and I don't want to eat it anymore! And then my mom, you know what she said to me?! She says, 'hey! What's going on with you?! What do you
care about what those kids are saying to you?!' 'This is a good one! This is a good food for you!' But I told my mom that they're mean to me! They're making fun of
me! I don't want to eat any more--I'm not eating at school anymore! I want wonder bread! My mom, you know what she said to me? Maya, they don't know any better.

Their mothers are not telling them
that they shouldn't be making fun of you and other people. So you have to be strong, okay?! Embrace your food! This is your favorite! Don't change who you are
because they are making fun of you! Don't change! Do you, boo! That is you know, what she said to me. Not really, that's not what she said to me. But you know what I
mean.

Like that, almost like that one! Like she said, like that. So then she said, 'Maya, pray for them. Pray for them!' So I said, 'okay mom, I'll pray for them.' I'll pray for them! Baby Jesus, I don't want
them to be making fun of me. They are hurting my feelings, maybe because their feelings are hurt.

I pray that they'll be happy, Baby Jesus. Because if they are happy, they would not be making fun of
me. But because they're making fun of me, they're not happy! Okay, that is it. I don't even like wonder bread anyway! It's so...

Blah! And the cold cuts--it's not bad actually, the cold cuts are very good--anyway!.

Homemade Coconut MilkNon Dairy Milk SubstituteVeganVegetarian Recipe

The two plant-based milks that I regularly
make at home are oat milk, which I have already shared the tutorial for, and coconut milk.
In fact, I have been making coconut milk for far longer than oat milk. I tend to either
use fresh or desiccated coconut flakes depending on what I have on hand. If using fresh coconut,
cut the meat into small pieces so that they dont put too much strain on the blender.
If using desiccated flakes, soak them in some hot water for about 20 minutes. This will
not only soften them but also allow the fat soluble nutrients to be extracted as the fat
melts into the water.

I like to use 1 cup of desiccated flakes with
2 cups of water. For fresh coconut, I find that one and a half cups of finely cut pieces
mixed with 2 cups of water yield a nice consistency that is suitable to use as a tea or coffee
creamer. For curries and sauces, you may want a creamier milk, so then just reduce the amount
of water. If this can be helpful to you, you can also
check the previous video that I shared about how I crack open a mature coconut and remove
the flesh.

If you are using this milk in curries and
sauces, just passing the mixture through a strainer will probably suffice.
The coconut pulp can be used just like the flakes in other recipes like cakes or cookies.
Or you can freeze it until you have a certain quantity and then make coconut flour with
it. If you are using this milk in your tea or
coffee or for drinking, you may want to pass it through a fine cotton cloth to remove all
the finer bits and grits. The coconut milk can be stored in a clean
jar for up to 4 days in the refrigerator. If you have used fresh coconuts, the milk
does have a superior taste if consumed right away but it may go rancid more quickly.

So,
it is best to consume it within a day. When cold, there may be a solid layer that
forms on top depending on how creamy you made the milk. You can gently warm the milk in
a bain-marie to melt that solid layer. So, thats pretty much how you can make
your own coconut milk at home.

Not only is it more economical but the resulting
milk is fresh with no additives like gums and thickeners that sometimes change the consistency
and also affect certain recipes. For more tips and recipes, subscribe if you
havent already and you can also follow us on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter. So,
I will see you soon..

Hearty Vegetarian Chili

Instrumental Jazz Music I definitely cook a few pots of chili throughout the winter season, and especially during football games. I've got a little bit different
twist of vegetarian chili that's loaded with
lentils, butternut squash, and zucchini. The first thing we're
going to do it knock out some prep and get to cooking. So I'll dice up a large yellow onion, some bell peppers, two
jalapenos, some garlic, and then a large pot on high heat with a little bit of olive oil, we want to caramelize up these vegetables.

While these vegetables are
browning this is perfect timing, because what we can do is peel and dice up our butternut squash and our zucchini and then we're going to start
putting a lot more stuff into our chili. We're finally done
prepping our vegetables. And the onions and peppers
are done caramelizing in our pot. What we want to do now is
add everything in there.

So go ahead and add in the
butternut squash and zucchini, our lentils, we've got
some garbanzo beans, a delicious three-bean blend from Heinen's we're going to put in there, our tomatoes, our herbs-- oregano,
chili powder, and cumin. And next if we need to thin
it out we're going to add some vegetable stock. What we want to do now is
simmer this on low heat for about 30 to 45 minutes. We want to get the lentils tender and the butternut squash tender.

Then at that point we're
going to come back, adjust any seasonings,
and possibly thicken it with some tomato paste. So while this is simmering
for about 30 to 45 minutes, you have to keep in mind
that the lentils are going to suck up some of that moisture. So you may need to come
back within 15 to 20 minutes and add a little bit more vegetable stock. This vegetarian chili is amazing.

So loaded with vegetables
you won't even miss your old chili recipe. We've also got a ton of great
toppings we can put on here. To me, it's all about the toppings. We've got some diced avocado,
some Chihuahua cheese, a little bit of lime juice
in case you want to take away some of that heat, some sour cream, some sliced Swiss chard.

This is fantastic. More greens into that vegetarian chili, some fresh cilantro,
green onions, and cheddar. Feel free to have a field
day with whatever toppings you want to put on here. Get all these amazing ingredients from your favorite Heinen's grocery stores and be sure to visit
heinens.Com to see all of our great recipe videos.

We've got a ton of chili to
eat, we'll catch you next time. (Instrumental jazz music).

Eggless Mayonnaise RecipeLow Fat + Soy-free + Nut-free Vegan Mayo

Todays recipe is for homemade mayonnaise
that is low in fat, eggless, cholesterol-free, soy-free and nut-free. It tastes surprisingly like real mayo and perhaps even better. The secret is in the ingredient and
in the process to produce a vegan mayo for a fraction of the cost
of store-bought mayonnaise. Hi Friends,
Its been a while since our last video but were back now with some new recipes.
I meant to share a mayonnaise recipe about a year ago when we posted our Epic Vegan Tuna
Mayonnaise recipe that some of you actually tried and loved.
So since then, some of you have emailed us asking for the mayonnaise recipe and whether we
could do a soy-free or low-fat version.

So, you guys put me up to a challenge
because most eggless mayonnaise usually call for soymilk or aquafaba (which is the liquid
that you get from boiling beans if youre not familiar) and quite a decent amount
of oil to get the emulsification to happen. On the other hand, the low fat or oil-free mayonnaise that Ive seen out there usually call for
silken tofu, which is again soy-based, or cashews. So, since Im allergic to nuts,
cashews are not an option. So, after racking my brain over several cups
of tea and numerous tests, I finally came up with a recipe that I think tastes like real
mayonnaise if not even better in my humble opinion.

Its not completely oil-free
but the amount of oil that you add is totally adjustable. So, it's up to you. And the secret is in the ingredient that were using and the process which involves a few
extra steps but it's totally worth it if youre looking for a low-fat, soy-free and nut-free mayonnaise.
So, lets not keep you waiting any longer. I hope you enjoy this recipe.

Dried white beans (cannellini or navy beans) are what I am using in this recipe. So, start
with  cup of dried white beans. Cover them with water in a bowl and let them soak for
at least eight hours or overnight. Dried chickpeas will work too but they will
produce a mayonnaise that is slightly beige in colour.
Drain all water then place the soaked beans and 1 cup of fresh water in blender and process
until well blended.

Now extract the milk from the beans.
Pass the mixture through a cheesecloth or fine mesh sieve and squeeze out as much milk
as you can from the pulp. This may take a little time, so be patient. To extract the maximum amount of milk from the beans, you may wash the pulp that is
still in the cloth in about  cup of water. This step is optional though.

If youre wondering whether the mayonnaise will taste beany, this where the next couple
of steps are important. Add the peel from about  of a lemon to the saucepan. Only
scrape the yellow part, not the white pith otherwise the mayonnaise may turn out bitter. Now heat the bean milk on medium temperature while stirring gently.

After a while, the mixture will start to thicken. At this stage, stir constantly
until it reaches a thick custard consistency. Remove the saucepan from the heat
and set aside. Remove the lemon peels and allow the bean
custard to cool.

While the custard is cooling, squeeze out
the juice from the lemon. We will only need a few teaspoons depending on how tangy you
like your mayonnaise. Once the custard is completely cooled, place
it in a mixing jug with a couple teaspoons of the lemon juice. You may add a little more
later if you like it more tangy.

Add  teaspoon of sea salt. Indian black salt also known
as kala namak, will add an eggy taste to the mayonnaise. You can find this online or at
an Indian grocery store. You may use more sea salt if you cant find this though.
Add 2 tablespoons of water and blend these ingredients together first until smooth.
I find it easier to use an immersion or hand blender to make this mayonnaise.

But a regular
blender or a mixer will also work. Now add in  cup of sunflower or vegetable
oil and blend again until the mixture is emulsified.. You can add a little as 2 tablespoons to start
with but if you do, then reduce the water that you add previously otherwise the mixture
wont emulsify properly. I dont recommend olive oil in this recipe
as it leaves a bitter aftertaste.

And coconut oil does not produce the right texture when
refrigerated. You can taste the mayonnaise and add a little
more lemon juice or water to thin it out and blend again until you get the desired consistency.
Place the mayonnaise in a jar and refrigerate for 2-3 weeks.
Always use a clean utensil when removing the mayonnaise from the jar.
This mayo tastes just like the real thing but dont take my word for it, try it for
yourself. And if you do, dont forget to tag us on Instagram or post a photo to our
