    Hi! Filipino here lol. For all desserts and if you want to get that iconic Ube Flavor (without the extract) you have to turn fresh/frozen ube into "Ube Halaya" first. Then use the Halaya or Jalea (Spanish) to add to whatever you're tryna bake.
    Ube Halaya is simply just
    Fresh/Frozen Ube
    Condensed Milk
    Coconut Milk
    Butter
    Sugar
    Some salt
    And voila :D

    resident pinoy chef here. So specifically when frozen, ube the texture becomes like tofu. Since we cannot get the stuff in its raw state here in US, the imports are already par cooked and thus will give you that texture. Its best to think of it/use for dessert purposes then. Savory wise youll be out of luck. However, A+ effort nonetheless.

    When I was young, there was a lady who lived on our street who made the best chicken! I was told it was “teriyaki “, but after a lifetime of trying to find that flavor in teriyaki chicken, I have come to understand that it was Adobo. You cannot imagine the joy I experienced, at the moment of that epiphany!✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨💫🌟⭐️
    When I was 8, my mother brought me to Texas from San Diego, and there were no Filipino people here then, and no access to Adobo (as a child, with no control over the dinner plans). Houston has a vibrant Filipino community, now.🤗

    This goes to show how little people really know Ube lol. Majority of Ube Products are using Ube Extract, which sometimes doesn't even taste like real Ube.

    I live in Central Florida and used to grow this in the garden I had at my old house. I accidentally discovered that if you let the vines grow on the ground, they will root into the soil and produce more ube than you know what to do with. I definitely could have used this video as inspiration to do way more with it than I did. One of my friends in our local gardening group tried to grow hers on a trellis, and she didn’t get very many.

    Those frozen ube were probably pre-steamed before flash frozen? That’s why they just turned to mush. They should have used fresh ones, but then again those are impossible to find. I’m just glad they didn’t go with the usual purple potato like most do.

    I'm not super surprised the sugar turned the ube into liquid. I've seen people make potato candy (B Dylan Hollis specifically) and the mashed potato turned into soup when a little sugar was added, then thickened up after that. I'm not sure why that happens (my guess would be that the sugar draws remaining water out of the potato/ube, then turns into a sugar water that makes the whole thing runny), but I've seen several people online mention the same issue.

    Cooking with Ube is enough of a challenge, cooking with frozen ube, even more so. If it's fresh I'll use it like a tuber or a vegetable that imparts an intriguing color. That's how to use it in anything savory. It's also a thickener for soups, like taro. But that's fresh ube. It's sad most if you won't be able to get your hands on fresh ube. Makes me feel that we take them for granted lol, I gotta use them more in cooking.

    When they mentioned how the ube remained dry even though it was cooked in the adobo sauce, my mind went straight to ginataan (a sweet coconut and tapioca pudding with ube, taro, and plantain chunks). I do remember the ube cubes always being grainy in the center, like a baked potato that was just dunked into the pudding right before serving. I guess if you want to use it in a stew, you‘ll have to cut them smaller and use them to add a textural contrast to the mix.

    Omg that cake looks like a monster cake from Zelda Breath of the Wild! Now I know how to replicate it! Thanks Sohla 😘

    I love these two so much. They're so real... well, minus the insane talent. If I tried to grate something and it exploded in my hand, we're having something else for dinner. 😂 Anywho, I'd love to see them do this challenge again after some practice or reading up on techniques using the ingredient.

    Ube in its raw form is rarely ever used in filipino cooking. You can make the case that it can be cooked like any other root crop but in filipino cooking it’s generally processed first to become “halaya” and only then can it be used as an ingredient for cooking mainly for desserts like cakes or even ice cream and it also can be eaten as is which is what i grew up on.
    The cake and skewers look amazing tho and I love how you guys incorporated it in your recipes as your brainstorming them on the spot! Thats actually very impressive!

    A rolled ube cake would've been perfect since it's an actual thing u can get in the Philippines (usually filled with light whipped cream and ube jam/ube halaya topped with ube icing). Or! It would've been AWESOME if u made ube ice cream or ube and cheese ice cream.
    The skewers were asian but if you were going the filipino route, cilantro and sate sauce isnt used as much. Green onions are more common. And an achuete type sauce would've been closer to filipino.. or even a sweet bbq sauce.

    I’m now so curious as to why the frozen Ube was so unpredictable? Frozen starches? I know with other starch root crops there’s a lot (hours) of smash/processing involved. Like with Poi and mochi and fufu all involve some long pounding/processing times. And I vaguely remember with Ube halaya there’s some kinda long mixing time involved?

      My brother makes halaya for ube cookies, it seems to take forever stirring it over a heat to get to the correct consistency.
