Cooking LUGAW, VIRAL FILIPINO FOOD! British Girls FIRST Taste of Next Level Comfort Food

[Music] it's that time again it's time for did we ever have a theme tune no i think we did i think we did it was like cooking i don't think we ever had a theme tune okay i'm gonna find it i think we did and if there is one it's gonna be in now if not i'm still talking welcome back to another juicy vlog welcome back to a long awaited comeback episode that's the word comeback episode of cooking with lucy i am lucy and i'm going to be cooking today and i'm really hot already so i need to get this aircon back on i don't know where i'm wearing a hoodie in philippine summer anyway so today's video is um basically a cooking video a cook with me video feel free to cook along i don't know what i'm doing i'm following a recipe i found online but let me know if any of your guys's recipes differ in any way always love to get a conversation going on down in the comments below but today we're cooking lugao which is a current viral food i would call it in the philippines we've been recommended so many times to try it and we thought instead of trying it let's try cooking it for ourselves and we can really get into it and really understand everything that goes behind it so it's actually like a porridge dish but not porridge with oats as i would call porridge as an english girl porridge with rice the kind of filipino way to have porridge it's rice it's chicken stock it's some vegetables uh it's a lot of simmering thyme it's a bit of ginger it sounds a bit like a roscaldo and you have some uh boiled eggs on top and some different other nice things on top so i'm going to try and make it look as presentable as possible today and we're also going to have to pretend that it's cold weather because i feel like this food is good for cold rainy nights mornings or afternoons not for this kind of what is it today it's got to be 40 degrees so this is a food we've seen all over social media we've seen so many comments about people were even commenting the word on our live stream on facebook the other day so without further ado follow me very long walk over to my kitchen and we will make so the recipe like where's my phone ignore the mess the recipe i found involves these ingredients and a few more um it's a recipe from yummy.ph so the fact that it's a philippine site suggests that it's a legit recipe i try and find the most legit ones possible we hope you're enjoying today's video so far if you are make sure you hit that subscribe button this is the recipe here lagal with rice i think that's how you say it the classic rice porridge that will keep you warm and comfy i do not need to be any warmer why am i making it i do not need to be any warmer than i am right now so the prep time is only five minutes the cooking time is an hour and five minutes so it's simple but it's a nice slow loved made with love yeah made with care tlc tender loving care goes into this it's a lot of simmering and i'm just gonna start chopping up some veg now to go into it firstly wash my hands so for the ingredients we have some garlic some onions i don't have fresh ginger so hopefully this will be oh that's garlic oh wait the ginger ginger ginger then we have some patties some fish sauce some long grain rice i thought it'd be a glutinous rice but apparently not apparently it's with long grain some chicken stock we're gonna have some salt we've got some eggs in the fridge still some spring onions here um and that's pretty much it a bit of water bit of salt it's got a special big pot out today fit enough for two people in for georgia would you like something am i cooking for you yes please why don't you say hello quickly because you've not said hello yet hello i thought with your face no no i say hello in my mouth right we're gonna chop some onions it says actually just two tablespoons but i'm just gonna chop this onion i think that's around two tablespoons you gotta do this haven't you but i'm really bad at this i feel like that's worse i can't hold it so we're gonna heat some canola this isn't canola oil is this canola oil minola sounds the same does that work trying to use olive oil what's better manola or olive i don't have color manola sounds the closest to canola got it as long as it's not like bleach or something [Music] if you guys want to see more from us make sure you're following our instagram pages on the screen now okay so i'm chopping up this garlic and onion and then we're gonna put it into the pan with some ginger saute it for a little while so today i'm actually gonna be cooking rice you not use i'm not looking i should probably be looking down so i don't slice my fingers off so i'm actually cooking rice today without a rice cooker and i feel like a traitor how are you cooking it in there but apparently you're not meant to use a rice cooker you're meant to just cook it in the pot with all the other ingredients so feel a bit mean to the rice cooker i feel like i shouldn't be doing that but apparently apparently that's the way you do it for this recipe so i'm not going to go against the recipe but we'll see how it turns out maybe i guess it's not meant to be like light fluffy rice it's meant to be like thick wet rice so it doesn't make sense right i'm gonna pop this in the pan did i even turn the night didn't turn it on doesn't actually give me a temperature so i'm just gonna go with five five is a solid number that's what it should be doing okay we have some ginger now i know this isn't correct but i couldn't find any raw ginger and we're in the middle of a lockdown so i wasn't gonna go strolling around the whole of bgc and hunt for ginger so it's all good this will do for now you'll still have the flavor of it i need to let that saute for a while and then add the patties patties how much is that only one and a half tablespoons but apparently that has to be boiling i don't know how that's gonna work okay the jumper's been taken off i got a bit too warm and i've added the patties and now our entire apartment smells like fish but it's a very good flavor i find it's very intense as a smell um but when it's actually mixed with food it brings so much flavor so you can have a little close-up here of the patience the oil the garlic the onions and the ginger sauteing up now i'm going to add some rice it's actually only a half cup of rice but i guess it's because there's so much stock as well and so much water and it just like expands all the rice it's been cooked for so long so it doesn't sound like very much but it's all good up then i need to like add some water just kind of like fry the rice but dry add stock i don't have any stock i need to make stock uh was that before yeah everyone say calm down oh wow you just added a little bit of drying right it's gonna take all the heat for a few minutes then quickly turn this off it's already great we have our trusty nor stock cubes i think for it says one liter which is around four cups which is what i need we need two cubes we add a third cube in later so i'm gonna pop them in here see not just good for coffee this machine link in the description to this machine i think if not i'll put one in okay take two i'm gonna add some stock in now got that everywhere i assume it meant this kind of stock and not like the homemade kind of stock are you sure this is right [Music] as you guys know i'm a big fan of these types of video because it usually ends up in me being able to taste the food that lucy makes so very excited to try this i mean it's starting to smell good i was a bit concerned when she put in like some dry rice onto like a dry sauce pan with some burnt onions but um this is so weird we did so many cooking vlogs in the last lockdown and we're here like a year later doing it all again but if you're still with us comment below right now if you were here for the last lockdown vlogs i'd be so interested to know how many of you guys have watched us for a year or longer it's kind of crazy because we kind of are known or were known as travel vloggers and now if you've been watching us over a year we haven't really traveled that much so i don't think you can even call us travel vloggers anymore anyway back to the show so now i'm just gonna let this simmer i mean this is at stake right now you can have a little look it's looking a bit okay like a soup at the moment yeah but imagine the rice like going yeah making it thick i hope i've got the quantities right i think i have i did follow the recipes obviously i'm now prepping things um i need to leave that for 30 to 40 minutes i'm now prepping things to go on top so my fried garlic like crispy garlic um some hard-boiled eggs and some spring onions are they the normal toppings i think from pictures that's what i've seen it's always quite satisfying it almost looks like a ramen from on top is it like a filipino ramen that's cool isn't it but with rice but with rice that's a cool way to put it quite like that okay so here we have it it's been simmering for a while and i've got my um splashed hot yeah nice bit of hot oil on my stomach love it and i've got all of my toppings ready so we've got some spring onions here i've toasted some garlic myself just with some oil in a pan and i've got some eggs here i really am bad at peeling eggs uh if anyone's got any tips for them not to look like that let me know in the comments and i'm going to basically place it up now and try and make it look as appealing as possible let's go looks delicious actually it smells really good the rice has become very thick you've got the onion and the garlic there's still quite a lot of liquid but i think that's good i think it's meant to have quite a lot of liquid still but it looks really yummy it smells amazing and it smells really chickeny it smells very chickeny but look it's like a nice little stodgy consistency there if i give it a bit of a wobble it looks really good right i'm going to quickly piece it together and i'll see you in a second amazing yes [Music] okay ready for the taste test so we've got a quite a nice presentation i would say would you guys think let me know in the comments how i did score me on presentation uh what else can you score me on without actually tasting it on what you think it would taste like and effort i'd love some scores in the comments below so let's go in here okay so i'm going to start with a mouthful of some spring onion and a bit of garlic with a big mouthful of the porridge very warm still oh wow there's so many flavors i want this every day for the rest of my life oh my god i'm really impressed by that don't be don't be fooled by the simplicity of the recipe and the simplicity of the ingredients and the simplicity of how it how long it takes to cook my mouth is like exploding with flavor it's salty very salty i didn't add any salt i think this is the stock cubes that have got salt in and you've got the sharpness from the onions you've got the warmth and the chickeny flavor from the broth you've got the fluffy rice it's nice and like thick and quite glutinous even though it's not glutinous rice it's gone fairly thick my mouth is watering talking about it let's try some of the egg as well i don't see why this wouldn't go it looks delicious bit more of the spring onion i love that you can have different mouthfuls you can make different i'm literally i can't speak my mouth's watering so much sorry if that's too much information i love you can make different mouthfuls depending on what ingredients you decide to have so let's try this one mmm that egg complements it perfectly that is so delicious you've got a slight um very slight hint of the ginger as well which is really nice it makes it feel very cozy and warm let's pretend it's really cold now ready it's a very cold day today freezing i think i'm gonna get acting rosie [Applause] yeah i can so imagine it i can imagine being all cozy and on like a mountain side and it's like cold and it's early morning maybe it's a morning thing is this a breakfast is it a lunch is it dinner let me know guys your turn george this looks like it's been served up in a restaurant thank you let me get some a bit of everything garlic onion egg and the rice big mouthful you're gonna love it get ready get ready flavor explosion oh wow that's like comfort food yeah oh that's delicious wow i didn't expect it
