00:00I'm so excited!
00:03Joining us for the most popular food truck today,
00:05are Kimbell Yon and Patricia Coma.
00:08Oh my gosh!
00:09I've been looking at this for a while now, guys.
00:14The young actor, Josh Ford,
00:16will he attempt to apply as a barista?
00:21Sir Troy, I'll be working here tomorrow.
00:23Perfect! We're hiring for janitor.
00:25Hire! Hire!
00:27Learn how to grow and grow kale.
00:30When harvesting kale,
00:32don't cut it like lettuce.
00:35You can cut it one by one.
00:37We'll also taste some of the winning dishes.
00:40This is one of the ingredients that celebrates
00:43the birth of Ma'am Heidi,
00:45their labog.
00:47And the fresh ingredients of the dishes we'll be making
00:51come from a simple garden in Bulacan
00:53where a YouTube content creator
00:55and internet personality
00:57are taking care of the plants.
01:00This is what Ma'am Heidi is giving me.
01:06Now for our chicken and spinach empanada,
01:09the first component we'll be making
01:11is the dough.
01:13So we have here our all-purpose flour.
01:18And then our sugar.
01:20Baking powder.
01:21And we'll just mix it all together.
01:24So this is our dry ingredient.
01:27So once it's mixed,
01:28the first thing we need to cut in
01:31is our butter.
01:37Then we'll just rub the flour on the butter
01:41so that the dough has a paste-like consistency.
01:47So once we've rubbed the all-purpose flour on the butter,
01:53if we still haven't gotten the right consistency,
01:55we can add gradually some cold water.
01:58So it's advisable that if you're going to add cold water,
02:03it's more or less one spoon at a time.
02:06And again, stress on the cold water
02:09because since a large portion of our recipe is butter,
02:14if you add warm or room temperature water,
02:18it will melt.
02:19So to get a better consistency,
02:22it's advisable to add cold water.
02:26So this is the consistency we're looking for.
02:29It doesn't stick to our hands anymore.
02:32We'll just let this rest and chill in the fridge
02:35for at least 30 minutes
02:37until it hardens a bit.
02:44Earlier, we've started making our Chicken and Spinach Empanada
02:49by preparing the dough.
02:50And while that's chilling,
02:52it's time to make the filling.
02:55So we've softened our potatoes,
02:58which is the starch component of our filling.
03:01So once it's half-cooked,
03:03we can remove it.
03:05And we'll use the same pan,
03:06and if there's more liquid,
03:08we'll blanch our spinach.
03:11But we'll just cut it
03:13so that it'll cook faster.
03:18Let's add it to our boiling water.
03:21And let's give it a minute.
03:24We can now remove it,
03:26making sure that we squeeze out the excess water.
03:32And also, our protein component, our chicken,
03:36you can also cook it with any other protein.
03:38If you like fish, pork, beef,
03:41you can make sure that it's already cooked
03:44and ready to eat.
03:46So let's season it with salt and pepper.
03:49And then mix.
03:52For the assembly of the empanada,
03:54we'll roll the thin dough first.
03:59Then we'll put the filling we made,
04:01and then we'll roll it using a fork.
04:09You can use an oven to cook the empanada,
04:12but you can also use a deep pot.
04:19And of course, you can also fry the empanada.
04:39Go.
04:40Go ahead and eat.
04:47Go ahead and eat.
04:53The sourness is delicious.
04:58At the age of 64,
04:59it's amazing to see that even after a few years
05:02since he retired from teaching at a school,
05:05he's still able to share his knowledge and inspiration with many.
05:10Now, not just in the four corners of the classroom
05:13where he serves as a teacher,
05:14our Food Adventure today continues
05:16with Nanay Hyde, who is also popular online
05:19because of the videos that share knowledge
05:22on how to grow fresh vegetables in the garden.
05:27As our idol plantita said,
05:30anyone can do this.
05:32So instead of buying fresh vegetables,
05:35grow it yourself in your own garden.
05:38One of the in-demand vegetables
05:40because many people want their lifestyle to be healthier
05:44is the leaf cabbage,
05:46also known as kale.
05:48It's one of the so-called superfoods
05:50and it's proven to help strengthen the immune system,
05:54it helps with high blood pressure,
05:56and it lowers the risk of developing heart disease.
06:00According to our friend from Fresco Farm,
06:02Ms. Marilyn Buenaventura,
06:04we can grow it in our own homes.
06:08And it's very simple to do.
06:10For those who want to grow kale,
06:13you need to dig first.
06:15The soil needs to be ready.
06:21In each hole of the digging,
06:24there is a piece of wood.
06:26After digging,
06:28you need to cover it with a sack.
06:31Before you cover it with a seedling tray,
06:34you need to wet the soil
06:37that has cocofeet in it
06:39because it will serve as a moisturizer
06:43for the soil that has cocofeet.
06:46Then you cover it with anything.
06:49Usually, we just cover it with a sack.
06:53After three days,
06:54you will see that it's already sprouting.
06:56It means that the kale is of good quality.
06:59Almost three weeks,
07:01it depends on the temperature
07:03because sometimes it's rainy.
07:05It also depends on the greenhouse
07:07that you will plant the kale in.
07:09So, you need to cover it with a sack.
07:11After three days,
07:12you will see that it's already sprouting.
07:14It means that the kale is of good quality.
07:17Almost three weeks,
07:18it depends on the temperature
07:20that you will plant the kale in.
07:24You will see that it's already sprouting.
07:27Before you transplant it,
07:29you need almost two to three leaves.
07:32The length of the sprouts
07:35should be around two inches.
07:40When it's ready to be transplanted,
07:42you will see that it's ready
07:44to be transplanted.
07:47After planting the kale,
07:49especially when it's new,
07:51you need to water it four times.
07:53When it's big,
07:54you only need to water it two to three times.
07:57For those who want to plant kale in a bakura,
08:00it's very simple.
08:01You can put it in a sack
08:03or in an empty container.
08:05Put some good soil
08:07on the sides
08:09and water it.
08:11When harvesting kale,
08:13don't cut it like lettuce.
08:17You can do it one by one.
08:18When you need to blend it,
08:20do it one by one.
08:22Usually, it takes us almost two months
08:24before we transplant it.
08:25Avoid cutting the kale
08:27so that you can harvest it later.
08:30As long as it's protected
08:32and doesn't have any insects,
08:34harvesting kale will last longer.
