00:00Welcome back to Idol sa Kusina!
00:02The next thing we're going to do is grill giant squid.
00:07Wow, giant squid.
00:08Giant squid, yes. This one, giant.
00:12This is a giant, right?
00:13There's a bigger one. If I cut it, it's a giant.
00:16It's a double giant.
00:17Double giant.
00:18Okay.
00:19Let's season our mara with salt, of course.
00:22Salt.
00:23Yes, go, go, go, salt.
00:25Inside.
00:28Inside.
00:31And this is the seasoning powder inside as well.
00:35Where is this?
00:36There.
00:38And pepper.
00:41Yes.
00:43Then of course, calamansi is a must.
00:45We are Filipinos, so we love to use always marinated calamansi, right?
00:49Yes.
00:50Let's put it inside.
00:52Do you cook? Do you put calamansi when you grill fish?
00:55Not always.
00:56Not always.
00:57From now on, I'll do it.
00:58We have what we call the decoration of our squid so that it has a stuff that is not soggy.
01:05This is the bread.
01:08This is just plain loaf bread.
01:10Any kind of bread.
01:11You can use pandesal if you want.
01:12Not chinop chop.
01:13Yes, just chinop chop.
01:14It can be whole.
01:15Then we'll put a little milk.
01:18Can you open that, Mara?
01:20Just a little.
01:21Just a little, okay.
01:23A little more.
01:24Okay.
01:25Then we'll mix it.
01:28Just mix it.
01:29Until it's crushed.
01:32Then we'll saute the rest of our ingredients so that it's easy to cook.
01:36Because our squid is easy to cook.
01:38If you just grill it, it's easy to cook.
01:41It won't take long.
01:42Because it's just one second.
01:43One second.
01:44Not really.
01:46So we'll just put a little oil, olive oil or any kind of oil.
01:52Alright, first garlic.
01:53First garlic.
01:57This is really delicious because when we saute our squid, it's more delicious.
02:04Yeah!
02:06Alright, that's it.
02:08It's still crushed.
02:09Yes.
02:10Now, earlier we added something like onion, right?
02:15Slightly brown the onion.
02:16Then onion.
02:18After the onion, celery.
02:20Carrots.
02:21Bell pepper.
02:23Then green bell pepper.
02:26Of course, we didn't forget the ginger.
02:28Then leeks.
02:30I added small pieces of squid head.
02:33Now, salt again.
02:35Then the seasoning powder.
02:38Then sugar.
02:40White pepper powder.
02:41But Chef, why is this dish a graduation treat?
02:44What's special about it?
02:46Of course, graduation is just around the corner.
02:48So we'll give this to our graduates as a tip.
02:53For example, if you're a graduate and you want to treat your loved ones in a restaurant,
02:58you can do this at home.
02:59These are the techniques that we did today for them.
03:03It's free!
03:04Yay!
03:07Because most of them are just restaurants.
03:09Yes.
03:10But if you're a new graduate and you're here in Puerto del Sol Beach Resort,
03:15this is the perfect place to celebrate your graduation.
03:19Yes.
03:20It's good to cook at the beach.
03:22Yes.
03:23You can grill.
03:24You can grill, right?
03:25You can do it yourself.
03:26Oh, yes.
03:27Because it's so simple.
03:28Yes.
03:29In just 10 minutes, you have a dish for everyone.
03:30That's right.
03:31So you love hot, huh?
03:33I love hot.
03:34Let's put it here.
03:36Okay.
03:38Now, let's put it here in the bread.
03:41This one.
03:42Yes.
03:43Let's put it here.
03:46Do you know the technique why it's like that, Mara?
03:48Why?
03:49Because if it has bread, if we put it in the squid,
03:54it will stick.
03:55While it's cooking, it will stick and sink.
03:58Our squid is so big.
04:01And at the same time,
04:03I put the squid's fat.
04:06That's what people look for when they grill, when it's fresh.
04:09Yes.
04:10So let's put the bread.
04:11That's the secret.
04:13So that giant squid,
04:14it will be even bigger when the bread is cooked.
04:16Yes.
04:17That's why it's giant.
04:18Wow.
04:19Let's taste it, Mara.
04:20I want the squid.
04:22Mmm.
04:24It's sweet and spicy.
04:26My goodness.
04:27The squid's head is so beautiful.
04:28Yes, right?
04:29Put some calamansi to make it more delicious.
04:31Mix it.
04:35It's delicious.
04:36It's delicious, right?
04:37Okay.
04:38Let's put the squid.
04:39And this one is hot.
04:40It's hot.
04:41Yes, it's very hot.
04:42Let's put the fillings.
04:43One for you and one for me.
04:44I'll start.
04:45You start.
04:49Oh.
04:53Wow.
04:54This is mine.
04:55It's giant, right?
04:56How do we seal this?
04:57It's up to you.
04:58Don't worry.
04:59This is the bamboo stick.
05:01Start from here.
05:02Okay.
05:03Don't reduce it too much.
05:06Wait, let's do it together.
05:07Let's do it together.
05:08The other side.
05:09I think my squid is bigger.
05:11Here, turn it around.
05:13Here.
05:14Put it inside.
05:15And now,
05:16turn it around.
05:18I want it again.
05:19And here again.
05:20Yes.
05:22There.
05:23That's great.
05:24Be careful.
05:25There.
05:26See?
05:27It's sealed.
05:28Yay!
05:31Wow.
05:32Okay.
05:33Mara.
05:34Yes?
05:35Are you ready?
05:36Ready.
05:37Yes.
05:38Wow.
05:39To make it smell better,
05:40I have a technique.
05:42What I do is,
05:43I put
05:47a brush of onions.
05:48Ah.
05:50Just put it in.
05:52Just like that.
05:53To make it smell better.
05:54Like a brush.
05:55Ah, that's how you do it.
05:56Do you know the technique?
05:57To make it smell better,
05:58I grilled it,
05:59and brushed it with onions.
06:00Can you smell it?
06:01Yes.
06:02Okay.
06:03Let's grill it.
06:04All right.
06:05Wow.
06:08There.
06:09It's so soft.
06:10It's like chicken, right?
06:12Yes.
06:13While we're waiting,
06:14let's make the garnish again.
06:16Let's add lemon to the squid.
06:19Let's slice it
06:21to make it look good.
06:23Mmm.
06:25Now,

06:30All right.
06:31Mara,
06:32it's already done.
06:33Yes.
06:34Can we turn
06:35up?
06:36Wow.
06:37This is good.
06:38If we sit here,
06:39we cut
06:40on the plate.
06:42See that one?
06:43Yes, perfect.
