00:10.850 --> 00:12.280
Thanks for joining us.

00:12.280 --> 00:15.330
With us is our guest demonstrator,
Julia Cabatu,

00:15.330 --> 00:18.570
who's worked here at Hawaiian Electric
for 19 years.

00:18.570 --> 00:21.270
She's also a member
of the Filipino Women's League

00:21.270 --> 00:24.320
and the four recipes
she's gonna be sharing with us today

00:24.320 --> 00:27.490
are from the recipe book
that we talked about earlier.

00:27.490 --> 00:29.500
Julia, what are we going to make first?

00:29.500 --> 00:32.270
Today we're gonna make four recipes
as you had said.

00:32.270 --> 00:35.280
I'm going to start with a dessert,
and it's called Bibingka.

00:35.280 --> 00:42.080
Bibingka is just a name of a dish,
but it can also be called kankanen.

00:42.080 --> 00:45.480
All of the Filipino desserts
are called kankanen.

00:45.480 --> 00:50.420
The main ingredients are your mochi,
or your mochi rice like I'm using today,

00:50.420 --> 00:53.000
of which I had already cooked
in a rice cooker.

00:53.000 --> 00:58.720
This recipe has been adapted
to use the modern appliances.

00:58.720 --> 01:02.020
I have cooked 4 ½ cups.

01:02.020 --> 01:06.280
No, I'm sorry, it's 2 ½ cups
of the mochi rice.

01:06.280 --> 01:07.700
Mochi rice, ok.

01:09.520 --> 01:12.280
It's equivalent
to 5 ½ cups of rice

01:12.280 --> 01:19.380
and if you measure it,
the Japanese rice cooker, it's 7 ½ cups.

01:19.380 --> 01:20.880
(Alison Zecha)
Oh, okay. So that's good to know

01:20.880 --> 01:22.860
in terms of the equivalency.

01:22.860 --> 01:25.440
(Julia Cabatu)
To this, what I'm going to do is

01:25.440 --> 01:30.360
to add ½ lb of brown sugar.

01:30.360 --> 01:31.730
(Alison Zecha)
Ok.

01:31.730 --> 01:34.230
(Julia Cabatu)
And you just have to stir this in

01:34.230 --> 01:39.700
until it's evenly distributed
and it has a nice, even color.

01:39.700 --> 01:42.250
Now, it's so hot.

01:42.760 --> 01:45.530
(Alison Zecha)
Okay, the recipe also calls

01:45.530 --> 01:51.760
for 5 ½ cups of water,
one can of coconut milk, 13 oz,

01:51.760 --> 01:54.830
and banana leaves,
so real simple in terms of ingredients,

01:54.830 --> 01:57.280
but I can tell this is gonna
be delicious already

01:57.280 --> 01:59.330
and I can't wait to try it, Julia.

01:59.330 --> 02:00.510
Very good.

02:00.510 --> 02:01.720
Is there something I can help you with?

02:01.720 --> 02:07.510
Yes, could you, now to make the latik,
which is the coconut milk and brown sugar,

02:07.510 --> 02:11.360
you just cook it until it gets
to a very thick, syrupy...

02:11.360 --> 02:12.400
Consistency?

02:12.400 --> 02:15.290
Consistency, and it doesn't take
too long to do that.

02:15.290 --> 02:18.680
Ok, and it should be boiling
at this point?

02:18.680 --> 02:21.100
Right now it's almost to that consistency.

02:21.100 --> 02:24.820
Great. Smells wonderful!

02:24.820 --> 02:27.000
-Really sweet and delicious.
-And this desserts can be served

02:27.000 --> 02:30.230
at the meriendas.

02:30.230 --> 02:36.160
Meriendas is an afternoon tea/snack time
in the Philippines.

02:36.160 --> 02:38.720
(Alison Zecha)
Kind of like an afternoon tea?

02:38.720 --> 02:39.740
(Julia Cabatu)
Exactly.

02:39.740 --> 02:41.560
(Alison Zecha)
So you'll invite me over

02:41.560 --> 02:43.640
and we'll share some of this together?

02:43.640 --> 02:46.160
(Julia Cabatu)
Right, if I have time.

02:46.160 --> 02:47.580
[Alison laughing]
-(Alison) Ok!

02:47.580 --> 02:49.650
Sounds like an arrangement.

02:49.650 --> 02:52.520
(Julia Cabatu)
Could you pour half of that latik in?

02:52.520 --> 02:54.130
(Alison Zecha)
Ok, half of this into here.

02:54.130 --> 02:55.680
-(Julia Cabatu) Mm-hmm.
-(Alison Zecha) 'Kay.

02:57.350 --> 02:58.680
(Julia Cabatu)
Ok, that's enough.

02:58.680 --> 03:00.500
We have to save some for the topping.

03:00.500 --> 03:02.200
(Alison Zecha)
Alright, whoops.

03:02.200 --> 03:04.870
(Julia Cabatu)
So I remember my mom used to cook this,

03:04.870 --> 03:10.540
not in a rice cooker, but in the big wok,
they call it silyasi, outside,

03:10.540 --> 03:12.840
and she would cook it...
