00:00Susan, when it comes to Filipino food, we have a goal.
00:03I've been waiting for you to say it, Kuya Kev, so that everything is possible.
00:06Sachangko.
00:08Is it hot to eat?
00:09Not really.
00:10But it has peas and vegetables, Kuya Kev.
00:12Alright, do you eat dinakdakan?
00:14Oh, that's the cooked bicol?
00:17Well, what if the main ingredient in dinakdakan is uud?
00:21No, I don't eat it.
00:22You don't eat it?
00:24But a lot of our viewers in Isabela are waiting for that.
00:27That's the story of Dano Tingkungko.
00:34The land of corn is inhabited by a lot of uud.
00:41And before it can become a snack,
00:44people are waiting for it in Isabela
00:49to make dinakdakan.
00:51In the reign of Mercedes Isabela,
00:57the food of the abaleng was increased by the former hotel supervisor,
01:01Mark Anthony Batulayan.
01:03Based on our grandparents,
01:05the abaleng can really be eaten.
01:07And this is really a delicacy of Isabela.
01:09At first, I was a bit afraid,
01:11but as time went by,
01:13and I got used to eating it,
01:15it's actually delicious.
01:17But before it becomes popular,
01:19it takes them 1-2 hours to look for it in Maisan.
01:24They look for it manually,
01:26and mix it in the soil.
01:28And this is where the abaleng,
01:30which is an exotic food in Isabela, is stored.
01:32Mark Anthony doesn't sell the chicken,
01:35and he just likes to get the abaleng.
01:38The stored abaleng will be cleaned before cooking.
01:43We'll just cut it in the middle,
01:47and then we'll squeeze its inside.
01:52In making dinakdakan,
01:54the abaleng will be boiled,
01:56and ginger, garlic, and salt will be added
01:58to get rid of the fishy smell.
02:00When it's boiled, or when there's almost no water,
02:02the ginger and garlic will be removed.
02:04Next, the abaleng will be fried until it's crispy.
02:09We'll add onion, chili, calamansi, salt, and pepper.
02:16The dinakdakan abaleng is now ready to be served.
02:25Delicious!
02:26Wow, it's clean.
02:28Mmm, it smells good.
02:29You should know that uod and salagubang
02:32are one of the exotic foods
02:34that has a high protein content.
02:36According to nutritionist Ella Marie Arabe,
02:38its larva is a good source of protein.
02:41It also has dietary fiber.
02:44Dietary fiber is good for digestion,
02:47it helps with gut health,
02:48and it also has properties that can help lower cholesterol.
02:53It has vitamins and minerals,
02:54as well as beneficial fatty acids.
02:56It's important to clean it well before cooking and eating.
03:00We'll still follow the basic food safety.
03:03If there's a mishandling in the preparation,
03:05if it's not properly cooked or stored,
03:08you'll still get sick if you eat it.
03:10The abaleng that you're about to see
03:12are said to be high in protein and fiber.
03:15But no matter what exotic food it looks like,
03:18be careful with what you eat.
03:20I'm Dano Tincunco, and that's the story you need to know.
