00:00Rice is life for us Filipinos, and it's also seen in the way we embrace the traditional ways of using rice.

00:09Like the Korean Gimbap that we made when we visited Rodem Farm in Cavite.

00:14The Spanish dish, Paella, is also part of our taste buds.

00:18It was invented by the Savior of Pipay in Alba Restaurant in Quezon City,

00:22which has been serving traditional Spanish cuisine for more than 7 decades.

00:27My father actually started as a dishwasher in Spain.

00:31Before washing the leftovers, he would taste them,

00:34and once the kitchen was closed, he would try cooking it himself until he became a cook.

00:38After a couple of years that he trained the cooks and chefs of the Casino Español of Spanish Cuisine,

00:43he established his own small eatery.

00:45He studied our country first.

00:47He went to the market, he went to see what was available locally,

00:51and he adjusted his Spanish food to the palate of the Filipinos.

00:55For example, the Paella.

00:57So what my father did was he made sure that he fills up the Paellera at least a little to the edge,

01:03and then he filled it up with a lot of things going on.

01:06There's chicken, fish, chorizo, vegetables.

01:09That's how the Filipinos, he thought, would like the Paella, and it worked.

01:14Aside from Paella, Biryani is also one of the international dishes that Filipinos love.

01:20And one of them is AJ's trending Indian Biryani that you can find in the streets.

01:25Chicken Biryani, money back guarantee.

01:28Chicken Biryani is more delicious.

01:30160 pesos.

01:35Thank you very much.

01:37Egyptian Biryani, rigid, mushy rice, 100 percent.

01:41All the ingredients from Arab country, the quality number one.

01:46I cook my Biryani my own way.

01:49It's different from any kind of Biryani you eat.

01:53Even though his favorite actor is Andrzej Anson, Biryani is a hit.

01:58Especially because it's one of the specialties that his mom cooks.

02:02I tried making my own version, and I sometimes visit them at their house.

02:08We're basically doing one of the critical steps in making Biryani.

02:13It's the washing and soaking of the rice.

02:17So we're using here aged basmati rice.

02:20And then we'll just soak this for at least 30 minutes.

02:25And then we can start the other process.

02:28For the chicken, I'll just add lemon juice.

02:34Then I'll add yogurt.

02:36And then of course, salt.

02:38We have here garam masala.

02:40We'll also add chili powder.

02:43And of course, pepper.

02:46And then, we'll just mix it.

02:51Give it a nice massage, brother.

03:02I'll just add in our spices.

03:06We'll just add one more.

03:08So that our oil will be more fragrant.

03:18Skin side down.

03:23And then we'll just add in our onions.

03:29And then, our ginger paste.

03:32And then, our ginger paste.

03:39We'll just follow the layer of rice.

03:50And then our chopped cilantro and mint.

03:53Then after that, we'll just add a generous amount of crispy onions.

04:02And of course, a generous amount of crispy onions and our chopped herbs.

04:10And of course, what makes our dish more expensive, as you said, Andrzej.

04:15Our saffron milk.

04:23So let's add our chicken.

04:26So let's add water.

04:32So we'll cook this on high heat for more or less the first 15 minutes.

04:44That looks like a promising biryani.

04:48That looks like a promising biryani.

04:56It smells good.

04:57So at least the aroma is good.

05:05Taste it.

05:07You can taste it.

05:12Here it is.

05:13The moment we've been waiting for.

05:16Please, you go on.

05:19You're the most delicious chicken biryani I've ever tasted.

05:22So I hope you can taste it.

05:26It smells good.

05:27The spices, in India, the aroma is really special.

05:35And the flavor too.

05:37You know that this is an authentic biryani.

05:39For the first timer, this is 8.5 over 10.

05:45It's really good.

05:47Thank you, thank you.

05:53Rice is important for us Filipinos.

05:56More than making every food experience delicious,

05:59the deeper love we have for rice,

06:02will make us have a good character as Filipinos.

06:07How we value our history and culture,

06:10how we are fortunate,

06:13how practical we are,

06:15and how open our minds and hearts are

06:19for things that will make us richer.

06:23For us Filipinos,

06:25rice is not life.

06:28It's more like rice is love.
