We will make Pastil or Pater!

We will make it more special because we will add coconut milk.

This the list of our ingredients. Just screenshot it so that you will have a copy.

If you don't want to make that much, you can divide the measurements of our ingredients into two.

First, we will boil the chicken until it's tender.

The is now chicken is tender so let's remove it from the pot.

Drain the water and let it cool.

This is our chicken. It's cold already.

We have drained the excess water.

Now let's just shred it. Just like this.

Just shred it like this.

Don't make it too thin

because we will still cook it later.

For it to not break into small pieces.

Here's our shreded chicken. So now let's cook it.

We are now heating the cooking oil. Make sure you have enough cooking oil so that the ingredients won't stick to the pan.

Our cooking oil is hot so let's start now.

Let's start with our ginger.

Add the garlic.

Onions.

Saute saute.

Let's now add our chicken. Add all of it.

I should've used a bigger cooking pan.

I might transfer it later.

Saute saute.

Next, let's add the soy sauce and a little pepper.

Then let's add sweet pepper and chilli. You may add more chilli if you prefer.

Mix it until it's a bit dry and then let's add coconut milk.

And now let's add the coconut milk.

The more coconut milk, the more delicious it will be.

Then let's cook it until the liquid is reduced.

It's already simmering. Let's just leave it like that until the liquid is reduced.

You will see it later.

So here, the liquid is already reduced.

You may taste it and then let's add salt.

I did not add salt earlier because we added soy sauce already and it may be too salty.

I just tasted it now so that it will not be too much.

That's enough already. It's already dry because the liquid is no longer there but it's not the kind of dryness that does not have moisture anymore.

Let's just set this aside and prepare the rice.

This is our rice and I washed it already. Let's just add cooking oil and let's mix it.

Mix it until the all rice is coated with the cooking oil.

Next, let's add the turmeric powder. Oops!

Our monkey dish almost fell.

Then mix it.

And now let's add water.

Cover it and then let's cook it. You are basically just cooking rice.

Our rice is already cooked so let's start wrapping.

Let's now start wrapping. This banana leaf has already been exposed to heat so it's now flexible.

The first thing that we will do is...

In the videos that I saw, they usually put oil from the chicken first.

I also added a little oil in the cup

that we will use so that the rice will not stick to our cup.

Let's put rice on it. Here.

Wait.

Ooops! Too much.

Then let's press it so that it will be tightly packed and firm. When it's not tightly packed ir will not be intact.

I'll pack it more tightly using my hand.

You may add more rice because it has been packed tightly already.

So this is really tightly packed.

Let's now place it here. It's so tight. There!

Then let's add the chicken. We will add one tbsp.

You may add more if you like.

Then we can spread it around. on top.

Flatten it a slightly.

Then let's add Palapa.

This Palapa I used is just bought from the grocery. We can't make the Palapa here Sakurab is not available.

There's even none in the market so it's very rare.

Then let's wrap it.

So wrap it tightly so that it won't get easily damaged.

Wait.

Like this, then do it on the other side.

So make it really tight.

Sorry, i'm not an expert.

Then to seal it, fold it at the bottom. We already have our first Pastil or Pater.

Others actuallymake it in another shape. Like a square like shape. So let's do this in a square or oval.

We have a semi rectangle rice.

We will now add chicken on it.

Then spread it around like this.

Here's our Special Patir/Pater.

Let's now taste it. We will get one here.

You know what, it really smells so good. The banana leaf really contiributed to its smell.

HmmMMmm. The smell is so delicious!

Again, our Pastil/Pater is not like the common one because we added coconut milk to it.

To make it more special.

omg.

I'm excited to taste it

because it smells so good. Wait.

I'm avoiding the Palapa because it's so spicy. I've tasted Palapa alone before and it was so spicy.

That is why i'm avoiding it. Here it is.

It's so delicious!

Even if it's spicy... gosh!

I'm not really a fan of spicy food. I eat spicy food but the ones that has a slight kick only.

This one is really spicy because it has Palapa but it's really delicious! So much.

Half tsp of Palapa is already enough for me. It's even too much for me because it's already really spicy.

There. I removed it.

It's so delicious.

I really like it.

I think I can finish 5 of these. So delicious!

It's so tasty and the taste is so thrilling.

I want more.

Delicious!

Spicy!

This is so good with softdrinks, you know?

Again, with the chilli, it will be up to you to add a little or more. Many would like the Pastil/Pater if it's really spicy.

Did you notice earlier that I added a little chilli at first the I was not able to show that I added more.

Since I thought of giving the others away, I added more chilli because are more fond of spice. It's just really me who's not that big of a fan with spicy food.

I just want a little with a just a hint of it. This one is really spicy.

Again, if you want it to be more spicy you can add more.

Palapa is really spicy. This the one I bought in the grocery but there's a lot of different brands as well.

So if you want spicy food, this is delicious but really spicy!

So delicious!

Super!

Maybe the Pastil/Pater is more tasty because we have added coconut milk on it. It enhanced the chicken more.

And for me it's better that we have reduced the liquid or coconut milk because the flavor is really incorporated in our chicken that why I like it a lot.

The Pastil/Pater started in Mindanao, particularly in Maguindanao. Then many also started making it in Cotabato and Davao.

You know, it's really nice to look at. It's enticing when it's wrapped in banana leaf, right?

We also have other versions like the Binalot. You can put a side dish on this like cucumber, boiled egg, and of course Palapa.

But then again if you are not fond of spicy food, you can choose not to add it.

The original version of Pastil/Pater does not have coconut milk on it. You just saute onions, garlic, and ginger.

Then add soy sauce and others also add vinegar. I will also try that. That's the simple version.

Do you know how much they are selling this for before? It's P10 per piece and students can afford it as well officeworkers who wants to save, right?

The idea is very good because it's on the go.

I think this started in Maguindanao because the fishermans and our ancestors who are working away from home used to wrap their food like this.

The idea is so great, right? It's smells so good as well. It's very enticing.

For the rice, you can choose not to add turmeric because in the original Pastil it's really just plain rice.

The rice just looks good in yellow.

And you can choose to make this in beef or fish version as well an not chicken alone.

So I hope you liked our recipe today because I really liked it that's why I will eat more. Bye!

You can sell one piece for P25 or more.

Again, the selling price will depend on the cost of the ingredients in your location.

And before I say bye, we have another dose of inspirtion.
