01:14.9
Just this one, it's more evenly cooked and you can achieve the crunch more.
01:20.7
So I have here carrots, this is pumpkin.
01:27.7
This is the tomato that is orange and this is the tomato that is white.
01:34.9
You may also use tomato that is purple.
01:38.1
You may also put this as onion if you are very high in life.
01:44.1
I removed that already because it's still a bit expensive.
01:47.9
Even if it's cheap, it's still expensive.
01:50.9
So there it is, the term is still nice, right?
01:52.7
It's still expensive.
01:53.7
I hope it's all onions.
01:55.7
So I'm just using these vegetables but you can use any vegetables, root crops of your choice.
02:03.9
So it's very simple.
02:05.4
So first, you need to start with the batter.
02:09.1
So I have here all-purpose flour and cornstarch.
02:12.5
You can see how easy it is, it's just on the tachometer.
02:15.9
It's really budget-friendly, right?
02:18.4
The type that you don't have measuring cups, you don't have scale, right?
02:24.4
It's really amazing that there's no measuring cups, there's no scale.
02:28.9
But the flour and cornstarch are still locked and locked and it's still in a copper bowl.
02:38.9
My God! What is this?
02:41.9
It's really like that, we're just gonna measure it so that it won't stress.
02:46.9
And then salt and pepper.
02:48.9
I'm also going to put some water.
02:50.9
So this one, you're just going to mix this until you achieve a batter that is a bit...
03:00.9
It's not too runny, it's also not too thick.
03:03.9
And I'm using wire whisk.
03:06.9
Okay, so it's just like that.
03:09.9
It's like the consistency of gravy.
03:12.9
Saucy consistency, not too thick, not too thin.
03:16.9
And you don't want to overmix this because there's a chance that your batter would be hard or tough when you overmix.
03:28.9
You just want it crunchy.
03:32.9
And then you just put your vegetables or potatoes.
03:36.9
If you're not fond of squash, don't put squash.
03:40.4
It can be only potatoes or carrots.
03:43.9
Squash, I'm fond of squash.
03:46.9
There's a chance that there's someone who's not fond of it so you may reduce that.
03:52.9
And then there, you're just gonna toss it.
03:56.9
Until the strands have been covered with the batter.
04:05.9
So that's why I didn't make my cup or bowl bigger
04:09.9
because when I fry it, there's a chance that when I bring my plastic bowl here, it would melt.
04:17.9
That mixing bowl, it's just like a friend when it's plastic.
04:21.9
When it comes near you.
04:23.9
You thought that it would just melt in your hands but when you're on your back, just kidding.
04:31.9
You just cover it like that with the batter.
04:34.9
There it is, right?
04:35.9
When they are all covered, I won't use my strong hands because I might get burnt.
04:44.9
I already heat the oil here.
04:47.9
So you can just use a tong like this.
04:52.9
And then you drop it into your hot oil.
05:09.9
And don't move it for a while.
05:11.9
The secret is you want to use a very hot oil.
05:17.9
So that you can see that when you put it, it would fluff up when you fry it.
05:23.9
And then don't move it for a while, you want to let it set before you flip it
05:29.9
if you feel that the other side is not crispy enough.
05:33.9
So if you feel that it's sticking, then you cut it.
05:38.9
It's very easy to separate that.
05:42.9
It's very hard to separate that, the real one is the one that loves.
05:48.9
You cook this for Valentine's or it can be your late Valentine's appetizer.
05:57.9
If for example, your boyfriend is vegetarian or your Valentine's date is on a budget.
06:06.9
So there, it's just like that.
06:08.9
And then you want it until it becomes crisp, it's not that crispy yet.
06:13.9
So I will wait for it.
06:16.9
So once you see, once you feel that the oil is becoming peaceful, you can see that.
06:25.9
It's almost done.
06:26.9
Actually, it's already okay, it's already crispy.
06:29.9
You can feel that, it's like when you tap it, it's already crispy.
06:38.9
This appetizer is so delicious.
06:42.9
Actually, I'm inspired here on Vegetable Okoy because we have taste similar to this.
06:51.9
On the restaurant of my classmate.
06:54.9
So hello, I greet the people of Sambuanga.
06:57.9
My classmate, they have a restaurant there.
07:00.9
It's called Gerardo's on the Martian Hotel in Sambuanga.
07:09.9
So we eat there, I said that the Okoy, you know that it's just a vegetable but it's so delicious.
07:15.9
It's true that less is more, right?
07:18.9
When you cook it properly, you respect the vegetables.
07:24.9
You achieve a dish that is not only delicious but healthy as well and it won't hurt your pocket.
07:36.9
So there, you can see how crunchy it is.
07:43.9
So what I will do is I will continue frying this and we will make sauce.
07:54.9
So there, I have fried Okoy already.
07:56.9
Of course, I didn't fry all of it because it's delicious when it's just fried.
08:01.9
So I just set it aside on one side, actually I refrigerated it.
08:04.9
And I'm just preparing the vinegar.
08:07.9
This is just a basic vinegar mix that I put chili on it
08:12.9
because especially if this kind of Vegetable Okoy, the sauce would really bring it.
08:19.9
But this is also delicious on Ketchup especially if it's for your dish.
08:24.9
This is a perfect partner of Mung Go.
08:26.9
So there, I have green pepper and red pepper.
08:34.9
And then I have here onions.
08:39.9
I also have minced garlic here.
08:45.9
And into this, I'm just going to put some white sugar.
08:53.9
Salt and white vinegar.
08:57.9
You may also put cucumber if you want.
09:11.9
And before you eat that, you taste it first.
09:19.9
I like the spice.
09:21.9
The black pepper, the chili.
09:25.9
Well, if you don't want it to be spicy, okay?
09:30.9
I don't want the vinegar to be too sweet.
09:33.9
So this is already okay for me.
09:36.9
And there, let's taste it already.
09:39.9
I'm just choosing a thin one.
09:41.9
I'm just gonna reduce my taste now, okay?
09:45.9
I'm on diet already because well, if I may share it to you.
09:52.9
I was diagnosed with...
09:54.9
It's not serious, thank God.
09:57.9
It's like imbalance in my hormones.
10:00.9
When I can see that it's sweet, it's like I'm on diet
10:05.9
and I'm not like that before.
10:07.9
So it's on the hormones.
10:09.9
So now, I need self-discipline.
10:15.9
You know it already.
10:16.9
So there, let's soak it there.
10:18.9
So there, let's taste it already.
10:32.9
This one is a vegetable.
10:35.9
Maybe there's an exception, right?
10:39.9
When it's a vegetable, this is just a small one.
10:42.9
So there, it's still soft.
10:50.9
And again, it's also very delicious when you dip it on ketchup.
10:57.9
There's one more delicious dip of this but it's against the diet.
11:01.9
Garlic Mayonnaise.
11:03.9
So where you want to dip it, dip it there.
11:06.9
Where you are happy.
11:08.9
I'm going to see you all soon.
