00:00The leaves of the alugbati are delicious to be served with mung bean or sardines.

00:06It is a winner in taste and also a winner in substance.

00:10But Chef Joanna has a unique recipe.

00:13She leveled up her alugbati in a Japanese style.

00:22This recipe that I will teach you today is more appreciable and can be sold to our kids.

00:30Let's go!

00:34In a bowl, put the flour.

00:38Season with pepper, garlic powder, paprika.

00:42Mix egg white or egg white, water and mix it.

00:47When the mixture is ready, dip the alugbati leaves and fry it.

00:51So that it won't fall apart, also include the alugbati stem.

01:07When the color is golden brown, you can remove it.

01:17Oisharap!

01:19I didn't expect it to be alugbati, but it's delicious.

01:22The crunchiness is amazing.

01:23I thought alugbati is just put in mung bean, but it's delicious.

01:30The leaves of the alugbati, check!

01:32But wait, there's more.

01:34Because alugbati also bears fruits.

01:37Usually, the small fruits of alugbati are just thrown away.

01:41But this farm in Tagaytay, it's not just thrown away, it's harvested.

01:52Hey! Good morning!

01:55Kuya Joseph!

01:56Good afternoon, sir. Welcome to Sbidi Farm.

01:58I just found out that alugbati bears fruits.

02:11It's colorful now.

02:12Kuya Joseph!

02:13Yes?

02:14Is this okay?

02:15Yes.

02:16Miguel Tan Felix's mother said so.

02:18There's a lot, guys.

02:20Let's go!

02:21Let's go, sir.

02:24Malabar spinach, also known as alugbati,

02:27originates from India and Indonesia.

02:30Because it grows fast in hot places, it's widespread in the Philippines.

02:35Here it is, KaWonderers.

02:37Here are the alugbati that I harvested earlier.

02:40And usually, in our provinces,

02:43the alugbati fruits are just thrown away.

02:46But now, Chef Robert will teach us how to recycle and make haloblak.

02:53Haloblak?

02:54Haloblak. What else?

02:55What are we going to do here?

02:58For Chef Robert's first recipe, he will make alugbati dip.

03:01Alugbati dip.

03:05We're going to put this in.

03:07Because it's hard to get the juice.

03:12What we're going to do is we're going to put this in.

03:16We're going to throw it in, right?

03:18Yes.

03:19Then...

03:21It looks like it has wings, right?

03:22It looks like it has wings.

03:23Wings, yes.

03:24It looks like wings of...

03:27It's just small.

03:28Cranberry.

03:29Cranberry?

03:30Cranberries.

03:34Once the alugbati fruit is crushed,

03:36it will get its juice in a bowl.

03:39After mixing the mayonnaise,

03:41the juice of the alugbati,

03:43mustard, and honey.

03:45What a wonder!

03:46The alugbati dip is ready!

03:51It's delicious!

03:52It's like strawberry.

03:53Yes.

03:54The color, and the texture,

03:56and the taste.

04:00Chef Robert,

04:01the strawberry is sour, right?

04:04Yes.

04:05Maybe this sauce

04:08gives it sourness because of the alugbati.

04:11Yes, the juice itself.

04:13That's it, right?

04:14Yes.

04:15That's what makes it sour.

04:16Yes.

04:17Is it true?

04:18Because it's acidic.

04:20The juice of the alugbati fruit

04:22is also mixed with passion fruit juice.

04:25It serves as a coloring

04:27and adds a little sourness to the juice.

04:39He's still handsome.

04:45Chef, it's like you said I haven't taken a bath yet.

04:49It's delicious!

04:53The old one is just thrown away.

04:57You can still make it delicious and eat it.

05:01But I wonder,

05:02is it safe to eat alugbati fruit?

05:05It's safe to eat.

05:06So far,

05:07there's nothing to say

05:09that it's bad for humans.

05:11Like other berries,

05:13it's rich in antioxidants

05:15or the so-called

05:17vitamin A, C, and E.

05:19It helps us

05:21to avoid diseases

05:23like cancer.

05:25The small size of alugbati

05:27is certified

05:28small but incredible!
