Nothing is more comforting than buying snack on the road.
00:10.9
Especially my favorite, Turon, Banana Q, and Maruya.
00:16.1
So let's cook that today.
00:31.0
My memories of Maruya.
00:35.6
On Baclaran Church, on the corner there, there's a lady that cooks a very delicious Maruya.
00:43.4
And do you know what's the secret?
00:45.4
Everything is freshly cooked.
00:48.4
Unfortunately, I think she's not there anymore because it seems like she had a cleaning operation on Baclaran
00:54.5
or maybe she just moved to another place.
00:57.7
But really, when the Maruya is freshly cooked, it's really hot.
01:02.1
The butter is light and crisp.
01:04.1
You're gonna roll it on white sugar.
01:08.1
Super duper delicious.
01:10.1
So first, you need to start with ripe Saba Bananas.
01:15.1
So this one, my Saba Bananas is ripe.
01:18.8
I just cut it into half or we just split it, just like that.
01:24.5
If the Saba is too big, you can cut it into three.
01:28.5
And then next, let's make the batter.
01:31.5
So to achieve a light and crisp Maruya batter, you need a combination of two starches.
01:39.3
So I'm using here all-purpose flour and cornstarch.
01:44.3
The cornstarch will help your Maruya batter to be light and crisp.
01:50.7
And then into this, I'm just going to put baking powder.
01:56.1
Pinch of salt and white sugar.
02:05.1
The white sugar will also help give your batter that nice golden brown color
02:11.3
because it will caramelize during the frying.
02:14.7
And then next, another secret is the use of cold water.
02:19.5
This is ice-cold water.
02:21.5
So how about it? I'm gonna sell in our canto.
02:25.5
Do I need to buy ice to make the water ice-cold?
02:31.5
Yes, there's a point.
02:33.5
You may not use ice-cold water but again, ice-cold water helps
02:40.5
the proteins of your starches to be relaxed
02:44.5
making your Maruya batter extra light and crisp.
02:50.5
So what did I learn from that?
02:52.0
From the Japanese because the Tempura, right?
02:55.0
One of the secrets is they use ice-cold water when mixing the batter.
03:02.0
And then next is you just use a wooden spoon.
03:07.5
So I'm gonna put 2 cups of ice-cold water first.
03:11.5
There are still chunks of ice, right?
03:19.5
It's easy to put more.
03:21.5
It's hard to put less.
03:23.0
Oh! It's just like a bill.
03:25.0
It's easy to put more.
03:27.0
It's hard to put less.
03:29.0
Do you agree? The camera is facing him.
03:34.0
Do you agree with that?
03:36.5
There it is, right?
03:44.5
So it's just a bit.
03:46.0
You want to achieve a light and thick batter.
03:51.5
It's like the consistency of a melted ice cream.
04:15.5
For example, you think that the liquid is too much.
04:18.0
Just like what I think right now, it's too thin.
04:23.5
Just like that, you put a bit of flour.
04:32.5
Just use a wooden spoon because when you overmix this, the batter hardens.
04:42.5
It's just like pancake batter.
04:44.5
Now, my oil is hot already.
04:47.0
Let's start frying.
04:49.5
You put it side by side.
04:51.0
You put your 3 pieces of Maruya side by side
04:55.5
and then you mix it with something like this.
05:12.5
I'm just putting 6 pieces.
05:22.5
Because the others, they put it on a plate.
05:26.5
It seems like the batter is too big for now.
05:30.0
So this one, it can only be 2.
05:34.0
But let's make it 3.
05:40.0
Just slide it like that.
05:51.5
Let's just try 2.
06:11.5
I can still put 2 pieces.
06:15.0
You want the bananas to be coated, fully coated with the batter.
06:22.5
But you don't want the batter to be too thick.
06:51.0
It's nice and golden brown.
06:54.0
You line it there already.
06:56.0
It's already okay, it's just 2.
06:58.0
It seems like it's too much.
07:08.0
Okay, you clean the oil.
07:11.5
You turn off the fire first before you put the next batch.
07:21.5
Because if you're excited on putting the next batch, you didn't turn off the fire.
07:28.5
The tendency is it's too hot.
07:41.0
If it's too hot, your Maruya would be toasted already.
07:47.0
You just want it to be just right.
07:51.5
The fire is off, okay?
07:56.0
Okay, so I'm going to continue frying our Maruyas.
08:02.0
And we're gonna roll it on the sugar and of course, we're gonna cover it.
08:12.5
We may go to the corner to sell our Maruyas.
08:16.5
So of course, you need to roll it in.
08:20.5
I'm sweating on frying.
08:23.5
You need to roll it in sugar.
08:26.5
Me, I like it with thick sugar.
08:28.5
Do you like it with thick sugar?
08:32.5
Just a perfect coat.
08:34.0
So there, just like that.
08:38.0
Come here, look at this.
08:40.0
There's a bug, okay?
08:46.5
Look how crunchy.
08:52.5
What? You're gonna touch that.
08:55.5
It's just small bites.
09:17.5
What? Is it delicious?
09:20.5
It's like it's wrapped on a doughnut.
09:26.5
Yes, it's like it's wrapped on a doughnut.
09:29.5
Except the bread.
09:34.0
So will you recommend it to them?
09:36.5
They also cook that.
09:37.5
Of course, they cook this.
09:47.0
You need to finish that.
09:50.5
It's really hot that's why I'm gonna split it.
09:54.0
So what are you waiting for?
09:57.0
Make this Maruya already because it's extremely great.
10:02.0
He said that it's like it's wrapped on a doughnut.
10:08.0
Make it already and I'm going to see you all soon.
