00:00You know Susan, when it rains and floods like this, sometimes different animals come out at the same time, like a snake.
00:07That's true. It's a no-no for me, Kim.
00:10I really can't handle it.
00:12But the next one we're going to see, it looks like a snake.
00:16But it turns out to be a rat.
00:19Is it eating?
00:20Let's find out in the story that Darlene Kai learned.
00:23A snake, but it's eating?
00:31It's slow to move, but it bites hard.
00:36Will you bite if it's considered a pest in the rice field?
00:41It can bite.
00:48It has a long snout that looks like a jaw.
00:51And the insects and insects in the rice field are everywhere.
00:55This is the Chinese Softshell Turtle or Ahaspagong of the Quezon people.
01:00It has a long snout and a long neck.
01:02It looks like a snake, but it's also a rat.
01:06Because of its fast movement, it's said that it's not a pest in the rice fields.
01:13So some farmers tried to catch Ahaspagong like JR.
01:19Catching Ahaspagong is not a joke, especially when it's fast moving.
01:24Especially when it's in front of the hole.
01:27When it comes out of the hole, it bites your hand.
01:30So you have to be careful.
01:33The gills are very painful.
01:35The skin and flesh can be scratched.
01:38But if you catch a lot, it's worth it.
01:41Because they sell it for P100 to P500 per piece.
01:46You should know that Ahaspagong was made popular in China
01:49to make turtle soup according to the study of the UN Food and Agriculture Organization.
01:55We heard that the softshell turtle is edible and delicious.
02:01So we decided to catch it and cook it.
02:04Ahaspagong is usually cooked with Adobong Gata and Chicharon.
02:08It will be cleaned first and boiled for 15 to 20 minutes.
02:13When the Ahaspagong is soft, its shell will be removed.
02:17It's very slimy.
02:18It becomes slimy when it's cooked.
02:20It's like a liver.
02:21We'll get the yellow color inside the Ahaspagong.
02:25We'll saute the carrots, potatoes, long green pepper, and bird's eye chili.
02:30Then we'll add the softened and minced Ahaspagong.
02:35And we'll mix it with coconut milk.
02:41It's really delicious.
02:42It tastes like Adobong Manok.
02:44When I first tasted it, the skin was on the side.
02:46It's like pork liver.
02:47It's like that.
02:48Ahaspagong is a very nutritious food according to nutritionist Jasmine Balisi.
02:53The good effect that we get from eating this is the protein that helps to boost our immune system
03:01and repair our body tissues and muscles.
03:07But it needs to be cleaned and boiled properly before eating it.
03:13The bad effect that we can get from eating this is the fungus that can be found in this soft-shelled turtle
03:20because it eats dead fish, crustaceans, and molluscs.
03:25It can damage our health, especially if we don't eat this food.
03:29For those who love to eat this, we always remember the balance and moderation.
03:35We're not afraid because we see a lot of our neighbors who also cook.
03:41They don't get sick.
03:43That's why we don't get sick.
03:45Even if it's considered a pest, it has an advantage on some people.
03:49But make sure to eat it safely before you try it.
03:53I'm Darlene Kay, and that's the story you need to know.
