Hello all,.. This video made me feel so connected to the rest of the world like I have never ever felt before. This was just great. I am going to try them all. Thank you all for the great recipes. I will be buying Spam for the first time, condensed cream for the first time,... and have rice with strawberry smoothy for the first time. it is going to be AMAZING. so exciting.
@@Towkeeyoh omg no you didn't, condensed cream with spam?!??! I mean it sounds like it could work with the super sweet countering the savory saltiness, it might just be the next salted caramel 🤯
As an eastern Asian, I genuinely feel uncomfortable putting only sweet things on top of white rice….. In my culture it is more common to combine sweets with sticky rice or black rice etc. And I promise sticky rice just makes sweet dishes more interesting
I just about to comment this lol 😂, it is so weird to see rice combined with sweet ingredients unless it is sticky rice.. but, eh, sometimes trying something that out of ordinary is not hurt right? Legit wanna try the strawberry smoothie 😂
@@ultracat942 Well, rice doesn't really have a salty or sweet taste and there are many delicious sweets you can make with it like mochi/daifuku or rice pudding. You can't really say that if you haven't tried it.
honestly, in Indonesia we put almost anything with rice. beef, chicken, vegetable, etc. we even put noodle like indomie to rice, which carb with carb but we do it anyway. I guess it's the thing of "it's not really a meal without rice".
most SEA countries are. can't be a meal without rice, otherwise it would be just a snack. Bread, snack. Salad, snack. Viand only, Snack. Fish and Chips, snack. Burger, Snack. Anything that is a meal with only dish/viand without rice is a snack for us, unless we get full which is rårely felt.
Greetings from luxemburg, My step-father is from Indonesia and I can confirm. My favorite dish is soto ayam. (Idk if I wrote it right.) Who doesn't love chicken soup?😂 but yeah we eat rice with everything too.
as an indian, I would like to clarify that rice is eaten differently in different regions. People in the north prefer rich gravies like rajma or chole , while things like sambar are more prominent in the south. the western and eastern parts have their own versions.
Rich gravies are not eaten on a regular basis, they are occasional. Regular things are daals with rice in lunch or pulaos of different kinds. Some people even add ghee and boora or powdered sugar or jaggery powder or shakkar on plain boiled rice and it's actually very tasty. In eastern and north eastern India people even eat dry vegetable preparations with rice like a simple dry potato sabji in bengal or Assam.
3:01 As a Korean, I have to give a shoutout for this Phillipino dude! Adding Kimchi on top of that just completes the dish. This guy deserves to have a citizenship in KOREA.
Korean products are one of the most consumed here in the Philippines. There are a lot of Korean stores everywhere. And statistically, there are a lot of Koreans here in the Philippines. We have several Korean towns, and there's a new Korea Town being built in Clark city. So it is not surprising anymore to see Filipinos "adopt" Korean culture. Korea's influence is growing day by day in the Philippines! Much love and respect from the Philippines!
Not sure if you've already done it, but a "leftovers" series would be fun. As in, "What the World Does with Leftover Rice/Bread/Mashed Potatoes/Pasta etc."
Great idea!...except that at my house, there may sometimes be mashed potatoes, but _leftover_ mashed potatoes are about as common as flying armadillos. However, when they do miraculously appear, they tend to get turned into fish cakes, or even more rarely, into aloo masala for dosas. Now, leftover rice gets turned into...everything.
We had leftover ham that I froze in early December. So far: potato casserole, grilled ham, pear and brie on sourdough. Black eyed pea soup...one quiche and I'm done. I don't even like ham, but..
As an Indian, I believe lentils (to be extremely specific - arhar / yellow dal) on rice; dish is called dal chawal, would have been the best representation of how Indians usually eat white rice. As India is so diverse, the way of cooking lentils can be different but it's a basic daily meal with rice. From north to south, east to west, everybody consumes it on daily basis.
I know! It’s a very common dish in the south but again, the US is very large and diverse. I’ve never heard of the chicken nugget one. I like beef chili on rice.
As a Polish person, I've never had rice with a smoothie. I believe that the dessert-like rice boiled with some sugar, apples and lots of cinnamon is more common.
It really surprised me. But in our filipino culture, I think we have a specific type of rice for the sweet dishes. The plain rice is usually topped with more savory dishes.
The Indonesian dish is something we eat all the time in Jamaican, we eat tin mackerel in tomato sauce with rice as an easy comfort food. I thought it was just a Jamaican dish but its cool finding out Indonesia has it too
Yes!! in indonesia ppl sometimes cook it with adding some chili sauce,garlic,chili,and onions in it so the taste is really rich. But theres some ppl who doesn't do it bcs too lazy (still taste good though)
As a US American, I can say that I've never seen a rice combo like that in my entire life! It's not unbelievable tho, when you're surrounded by people living off of minimum wage, you can sometimes see the craziest foods. That, and just personal cravings. Personally, I put tomato sauce or curry with some type of meat like sausage, shrimp, or chicken, add sugar or spice to really get that flavor in, hell, do both if you want to.
I’ve never seen it either, but it’s not too far off from some things I’ve seen. It’s really common where I’m at in the USA to have rice pilaf and chicken in some way, or chicken, rice, and gravy. Hers reminds me of a teenager making a meal at 3am
As a Filipino, my first thought would be exactly like the Indonesian one. We love sardines here at home. It's a very fast and easy fix when hungry. Other canned food varieties are also an option. For fruits, I've paired rice with mango or banana. Not exactly a fan of the fruit pair-up though but I know people who loves them. Of course any type of silog as well. Garlic or plain rice, a fried egg and any other fried meat is just heavenly. There's also the options of dried fish, bagoong, salted egg or ginamos. Milo or a 3in1 coffee can be paired with rice as well.
my first thought too. although I'm not filipino, I had a filipino and a hawaiian friend growing up. the filipino friend would eat rice and sardines, and the hawaiian friend would be the one eating rice, spam and eggs. lol
Speaking of food and rice pairing, my family pairs rice with durians sometimes (we like the bittersweet variant). I think it's more of an acquired taste, but it tastes great to me hahaha
As a Filipino, I connect more with Indonesia's sardines with tomato sauce than my man's fried egg, spam, and kimchi. What he said is more South Korean, although I've also had it a couple of times, than Filipino toppings. Spam, fried egg, and kimchi does not at all represent Filipino white rice toppings. It's only for Filipinos who can afford spam, which most lower to middle class Filipinos find incredibly expensive, and who have acclimated to the foreign and unfamiliar taste of kimchi. Moreover, you'll find more Filipino households eating canned sardines with tomato sauce with rice than spam, kimchi, and fried egg, since canned sardines is way way cheaper than a can of spam (you can buy more than five cans of sardines with tomato sauce for what it costs for a can of spam). I think Filipino common cuisine/white rice topping was not at all given justice or represented in this video/by that guy, sadly.
true, sardines is more common... but I like oil and soy sauce (patis) in my rice, or just egg and salt... I can't afford Spam or kimchi, I can afford sardines tho but it's not my taste 😂😅
2:46 The dish misrepresents us Filipinos. First, he should NOT call it "Spamsilog" because "silog" itself is the combination of two Tagalog words "sinangag" (garlic rice) and "itlog" (egg). He used steamed rice not garlic rice. Next, spam and kimchi are not staples in the Philippines.
@@AnythingFitness1 soy sauce is toyo and patis is fish sauce, but yes I agree, I also eat those as a quick meal if I don't have time to cook or just want something to eat at 3am lol especially the egg and salt.
Beryl: I have a pretty large international audience, let's see this in a bigger more produced way- All the rice-consuming countries: *I've been summoned* In Pyongyang we have a dish called Pyongyang Onban (평양 온반) and it is cooked rice that is topped with boiled and shredded chicken, slices of soaked dried mushrooms, sliced leeks, and garlic. All in one pot
I’m from Turkey and I can safely say that the salad , tomatoe and cucumber additions were definitely a personal one , it’s usually just chickpeas and chicken
@@xxxtefennixxx no, that’s something you have on the side. The rice and bean and tomato broth (which it isn’t, it’s usually some meaty broth) is put in seperate bowls. Or you can have them on the same plate, but not mixed together. The authentic way is to have it in two seperate bowls.
I agree. Cucumbers and rice never mix, unless you are adding 'cacık' cucumber mixed with yoğurt. Cucumbers aren't salty enough to be mixed with rice, same with the tomato. If you want tomato on your rice, you cook tomatoey rice.
@@iprohoodini7889 as you have mentioned it, I prefer to have it on same plate with some chilli flakes sprinkled on the top. I think it makes the rice juicer and tastier. Getting hungry already...
Hi everybody! I am from Poland and I am quite suprised that Róża poured smoothie over her rice. I think that if she served it with apples (cooked, with cinnamon) and some sour cream, maybe a little sugar as a sweetener it would be more accurate. Although, I understand that she was just showing how she likes to eat her rice, but from the cultural aspect, I think that rice with apples is more common.
@@hamptaaa Yeah, that's true. For me it was always mashed strawberries, not blended smoothie. But maybe that's the way her family likes to prepare it faster - co kto lubi
Im from lesser Poland region and we were actually served rice with strawberry smoothie a lot at school (a very typical Friday meatless dinner at school). Although rice with apples is pretty common too
Central Poland (Łódź) here. I never heard about adding apple but cream, sugar and cinnamon is staple. Choped strawberries or flavored yogurt instead of cream was also common thing I saw as a child. I'm suprised that sweet rice is so strange for people.
This is a really cool format that let's you do more in one episode, and it's great for simple stuff like rice where you don't want to treat each dish like a huge recipe. Well done.
This formats is really cool and Beryl explanation about how to join it's easy, I always asked myself how.. With the format we can rally see the International community.
As a Turk, Mines version is her personal variant. Its not that common to put salad on it (unless you want to kill off your rests from yesterday). Usually its only the Anatolian chickpea-meat cube "curry" (Turks use tomato paste for everything an Indian would use curry for). Its often served during big gatherings.
As a Filipino, the Indonesian way tends to resonate me more. That one with spam and kimchi isn't really authentic Filipino, it's too Americanized and Korean. That's more of a personal preference of a Fil-Am than a representation of what Filipinos do. Still delicious though 😋
The only thing Korean about it is the Kimchi. But I don't really think it's Americanized. I mean, there are budget versions available, which uses other brands of luncheon meat.
@@wiltmarlonelao luncheon meat has been popularized by the Americans in the Philippines in the 1920s. So technically, handel1111 is somewhat right. The more appropriate term will be “WESTERNIZED” though. 😅 As a side note though, cultural differences among Filipinos and Fil-Ams are getting wider, we can say that Fil-Ams already have their own culture. A common experience among Fil-Ams is that they’re not “Western” enough for Americans, but not Filipino enough for Filipinos.
As an Indonesian the most common toppings my family use are: - Fried egg with soy sauce or chili sauce - Salt & kerupuk - Gorengan tempe/corn - Instant noodle (goreng variant)
OK as a Turk I have to say traditionally we put chicken breast chickpeas and yougurt with maybe some ground pepper the girl was probably just telling her own opinion but I just wanted to say the common way it is served and its also a really popular street food!
As an indonesian, i can confirm that rice with sardines is one of the most good yet simple dish that u can eat anytime. But, most indonesian liked to re-cook those sardines and add some ingredients like ginger, chili, a bit salt and a bit water. Adding some ginger and chili is to make the taste become more tasty (well indonesian like to eat something spicy, u know..) and to reducing the odor of the fish.
I’m Filipino, living in the Philippines. And it was interesting to see that someone who’s Filipino-American shared something that’s more Hawaiian (spam) and Korean (because of the kimchi) than actually Filipino. We do love Spam here, but it’s pretty expensive so most Filipinos wouldn’t be able to buy it often. A more Filipino dish maybe would have been adobo (meat marinated in soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, and bay leaves) and rice. Or if we stick to silog (always with egg because egg in Filipino is itlog) dishes, the popular ones are tapa, tocino, or longganisa (which I think are all of Spanish origins, but now have very Filipino takes on them). And if we used canned goods, the sardines one is also common in a lot of Filipino households. Thought to share because this series is intruiging. ☺️
As someone who also grew up in the states, rice with spam, eggs and banana sauce are a go-to dish for me. But it doesn’t beat rice with eggs and tocino or pampanga longanisa 😋 having either tocino or longanisa actually feels more fancy for me tbh, but that’s cause idk how the cook them lol
@@runway5338 This is what I loved about this series. It showed how food transforms when mixed with different cultures/placed in a different context or even when passed down to the next generation.
@@lorraelena yes! We can already see that in the countries themselves. Each province or state has their own way of making the same dish. Really interesting what we can learn from a dish when thought of in that way.
@@runway5338 This makes me miss traveling so much. I always learn something new even if I just travel to a different province locally. All the more when I travel to a totally different country.
Yeah I think they're more 'personal' favourite dishes than representative of some cultures, a lot of Asians use Spam now and mix Kimchi/ Make Dumplings / do whatever so everything's pretty mixed now
It's so interesting! Thanks for sharing! As a rice lover, I can't decide on number one, but I’d have to say the Yakitori bowl (teriyaki chicken and egg over rice) is amazing❤️
Teriyaki chicken requires a bit of prepping, most of the dishes presented were mostly just topped with readily available ingredients especially in the US like canned food, fruits, and veg, and I don't think there is such a thing as frozen or canned teriyaki chicken, Id say maybe just frozen nuggets or any frozen chicken product topped with store bought teriyaki sauce would do well as a substitute
@@traphimawari7760 actually there are the canned yakitori in Japan, which come to be as close as teriyaki chicken, though they might be hard to find outside the country.
Yes!! or with spiced vinegar and steamed okra/kangkong/puso ng saging/kamote tops/eggplant on the side is my favorite rice combos. Brings you back to childhood. 💚

I'm from Argentina, rice with tuna is always great, I like to drizzle some olive oil on the rice, some sriracha and chopped scalions and finish it with grated cheese on top, parmesan works the best. I like to do this whenever I have rice in the fridge from a previous preparation, it's a quick and tasty meal.
i'm from indonesia, i can attest that the sardine with tomato sauce is a staple in many households. if you feel like it, my mom likes to add tons of shallots and garlic (the amount of shallots is twice the amount of garlic, however much is up to you) and like one or two sliced up chili peppers into it. she'd fry the alliums and the chilies until fragrant then add the sardines in, and sometimes when she feels like it she'd also put in sweet soy sauce. it elevates the sardines' taste, and i always feel weird to eat sardines without a ton of shallot and garlic now.
Sardines is also a staple food in ph. I never had tried adding shallots and garlic with soy sause and chillies, but it sounds tasty I'll try it next time we have sardines, thanks!
Actually the brand Masagana means Bountiful or Plenty in Filipino. I think it's a Filipino brand because the design of the can is somewhat similar to our Ligo Sardines.
Indonesian who grew up abroad here-so cool to see this! Learned this from my parents but didn’t realize it was an Indonesian thing. I even buy the same brand.
the polish strawberry rice is usually done a bit differently, you just mash fresh strawberries with sugar and sour cream and pour it onto rice. the one with store bought smoothie i’ve seen for the first time in my polish lifespan
I’m from Poland and I’ve never seen anyone eat rice with a smoothie, I think that it’s more common to add it to pasta or just use strawberries and add sour cream and sugar🤤 The rice dessert is popular here to eat it with apples, sugar and cinnamon (usually warm). Some people also like to add sour cream. I ate it like that as a kid, I promise it’s delicious🥺💜
I’m gonna try making this sometime this week, it sounds really yummy 🤤 wish I’d had my polish my grandma around longer, I’d liked to have learned her recipes. I do have her recipe book though 💜
03:26 I can assure you it has never been a thing in Turkey, even not as a street food. Rice topped with pulled chicken, or rice topped with beans (kuru fasulye) are two staple dishes in Turkey but no one tops warm rice with a cold we salad, thankfully.
i have a feeling im going to love this series, the table sets were *chef's kiss* -so pretty and how you matched it to everyone's video. The off cam comments were very fun as well. Can't wait to try some of these out and looking forward to seeing more in the future. Thanks to everyone who so kindly share their favorite toppings!!!
I was a classroom teacher, and one of my students who is Japanese taught me exactly this. I took her recipe and I've survived on a budget because of it.
Even though it's representing Spain, it is nice to finally see a Cuban dish on here for a change. Cuban cuisine, like the rest of the Caribbean's cuisine, is underrated. With influences from ranging from Spanish, African, Indian and even Chinese, the Caribbean really is a diverse region of culture culinarily and musically as well. And Caribbean cuisine is more than just Jamaican! On rice, I like to make Cuban-style picadillo which is ground beef (though you could do pork as well) with raisins, garlic, dried oregano, cayenne, ground cumin, finely chopped yellow onion, tomato paste, olives (I prefer pimento-stuffed), bay leaves, and dry white wine and it's perfect. Looking forward to more Cuban cuisine!
As a Trinidadian I hear you! We have so much history and diversity sprinkled throughout our Caribbean islands that gave us such amazing food traditions. Caribbean food needs to be highlighted more often. It's crazy because I've literally argued with white rolls about Puerto Rico and Cuba even being Caribbean 🫣
here in the philippines, arroz a la cubana is tomato base, ground beef, peas, carrots, potato, pasas, egg, and a banana. if you remove the banana and raisins, and replace the egg with a hardboiled egg, we call it a picadillo (not sure but i think it's funny). 😂
Indonesians also commonly put fried egg, kecap manis, and fried onion, on top of white rice. Just simple, quick, and delicious meal. Great video btw...
As a fellow Indonesian who does this a LOT as a kid and not often enough as a stressed teenager in university, I can vouch for this. This unlocked a childhood memory of mine. I will definitely do this more often.
"What do you put on white rice." 🇵🇭 Philippines: EVERYTHING. Literally EVERYTHING. You don't even understand. A meal is not a meal without white rice. ALL our dishes require white rice. The only exceptions are noodles and soups, and even that are commonly eaten with rice as well. Everything else are considered "snacks." In fact, a common mistake foreigners make is that they eat our dishes WITHOUT rice, which make the dishes seem overseasoned because it does not have the balance that white rice brings.
White rice is also a palate cleanser for bold tastes. Like, if you have a strong umami dish, white rice balances the flavor. It’s a perfect foil to fatty seafood or grilled beef. 😋
@@slumberotter5411 Yep. It's sometimes weird to me how westerners associate rice more with East Asia (Chinese/Japanese), when by far, rice is more central to the cuisines of Southeast Asia. It's actually our ancestral crop. The ancestors of the four main ethnolinguistic groups of Southeast Asians (Austronesians, Kra-Dai, Austroasiatic, and Hmong-Mien) first domesticated rice in their original homelands in southeastern China in the early stone age at around 10,000 to 15,000 years ago (before the region was conquered by the Han Chinese around 4000 to 2000 years ago).
hi Beryl! i am from Turkey and i haven’t seen a single person putting cucumber on a rice, even for once. that was shocking for me and i don’t think the recipe you shared in your video reflects how Turkish people eat rice with a topping. we usually put boiled pulled chicken and black pepper powder. an onion is usually preferred as a complementary. i hope you try this! lots of love ❤️
I'm Turkish too and my mom would always make rice topped with pulled chicken, chickpeas, yogurt, and black pepper! What she made was something I haven't really seen haha
This is a classic in İstanbul as street food, lots of vendors have salad (çoban salata) ready at the stall cause people love putting it on top of nohut pilav. It's sooooo popular that I'm kinda shocked you say that you've never seen it. Maybe it's not seen in other parts of Turkey but it's definitely a well known combintion in Istanbul. Although I agree with Gamze that the most common is chickpeas, boiled chicked and black pepper
The Indonesia one, rice w/ just a can of sardines, is one of my favorite comfort foods! I love the texture of the fish bones & the fact that you can eat them. My dad is from the Philippines, he came to the U.S. when he was 19, and he'd make this as an easy weeknight dinner. The spam sulag is also a nostalgic breakfast for me, yum!!
2:46 The dish misrepresents us Filipinos. First, he should NOT call it "Spamsilog" because "silog" itself is the combination of two Tagalog words "sinangag" (garlic rice) and "itlog" (egg). He used steamed rice not garlic rice. Next, spam and kimchi are not staples in the Philippines.
I legit thought that the sardines in tomato sauce would be the Filipino one. I think its safe to say that majority of Filipinos haven't even tasted Kimchi. And Spam is hella expensive here. It would've been better if he replaced spam with beefloaf and disregarded Kimchi. But it looked good and she enjoyed it, so all is good. ❤️ edit: I personally top my rice with sardines in tomato sauce stirr fried with eggs.
If it make you feel better I don;t think many American would ever eat rice with chicken nugget. That one was weird to most American but understandable since most of us are broke. Sometime we eat whatever we got even chicken nugget and rice.
@@JamesShow I did too, I am Asian. My cousin even eat hot dog and hot Cheeto with rice. We live in America but I wouldn't consider those American topping on rice though. Just weird Asian habit of eating everything with rice. I know some American eat chicken nugget with rice but it not like an American thing to put it on rice. American usually like rice with butter as a topping. Maybe some fresh herb but that the official thing most American would agree on.
Thought the same! Spam is could fall under fancy in general Philippine setting. Canned beef loaf or meat loaf is more common and kimchi is more of an East Asian, specifically Korean, for a Filipino version, atsara/atchara would probably be it. But that's just for me. 🙂
As an indian can confirm we used many different things with rice like Butter or ghee and salt then lentils or cereal are used very much then we aslo have sweet rice know as misthi doi bhaat,we also use curd on top of rice and many more.... ..So like our culture we have different option which we used with rice❤️❤️❤️
Curd on rice especially with dal is the best combination one can have and also adding bharwa achar give a real kick to the dish like u can make normal dal chawal way tasty by adding things to it!
@@himanimishra5535 the very purpose of this video is to use 3-4 ingredients. Dal itself has 10 ingredients haha. But yes Dal+curd tastes amazing. and so does pickle with curd and rice amazing. But another recipe with very few ingredients is mixing rice with a paste of crushed garlic, red chilly powder, salt and ghee. Any masala curry especially chicken masala with curd is heavenly too.
@@himanimishra5535 curd Arahar dal and rice is my favorite combo.Bharva Bhindi or just crispy fried ones add just the right appetizing kick to it.And a pinch of aam or carrot aachar is just mmhhhmm.Chole Chawal is another blessing, a truly iconic spicy rice combo I love. And among dals Rajma is kinda special ;)

I'm an American and rice is a huge part of our culture in the South. Topped with red beans in a spicy sauce, shrimp in a creole sauce, and even just served as a side dish with brown gravy.
As an Indonesian for my family we eat anything on top of rice be its tempe, tofu, veg, sausages, chicken nuggets, eggs, etc. As my grandma once said "If its not without rice, its not a proper meal"
Omg as a Spaniard I also love arroz a la cubana (even though it's literally cuban) it's just so good and I think of it as my childhood thanks to my grandma
Same feeling for me. In Indonesia we treat rice most all the time for savory food. The sweet sticky rice is the ones that we use for dessert and sweet dish.
I loved this idea. Usually whenever I have leftover rice I make a “trash bowl” eggs, sausage, tomato, onions, potatoes… really anything I have left in my fridge I’ll put into the bowl of rice and it ALWAYS hits the spot
I'm brazilian and here the most everyday kind o food for lunch/dinner is rice with feijoada (beens - the dried grains cooked in water and seasond with fried onion, bacon, and other kinds of meat and spices), green cabbage and slices of orange are served as well, but here we eat rice with almost all of our meals, with different side dishes, or one pot recipes with rice as the main ingredient! Loved the video!
Love this type of video! Really feels like the solution to the problem of "this looks amazing but it's difficult to make or has 20 ingredients"...these were all simple and affordable. A good way to balance some more complex or in-depth dishes from around the world!
I'm French and the first thing that comes to my mind when thinking about white rice is baked salmon and sauce hollandaise. Or that veal stew that we make with a thick floury sauce, it's called blanquette de veau (blanquette as in blanc, which means white, and veau as in veal) and has got to be one of my favourite traditional French dishes!
Whoaaa as an indinesian i never knew you can eat rice with strawberry smoothie or any type of sweets that mentioned in this video. I always thought that rice pairs mainly with savory food
I really love this format. The simplicity of a few ingredients with a staple. I’d love to see more like this. Of course I also love your other videos but this seems very accessible.
Oh the spam, fried egg, kimchi bowl is like Philippino AND Korean. Big favorite my whole life. I missed your call for rice recipes but I’m going to add mine here: fried tomato paste, garlic, gochujang, sesame oil, soy sauce, chopped spam. Mix it all together with a sunny side up egg. Crumble seasoned nori on top. So delicious.
Achara would've been nice as it is an actual Filipino thing, but then again, Korean foods are becoming international. Kimchi is good though, I eat them often.
This is what I had growing up in Hawaii. So good! Did not know this was a Filipino thing. I’m Filipino and always thought this dish was a Hawaiian thing 🥰
the australian and poland rice remind me a lot of Arroz con leche. its a dessert where you cook the rice with milk cinnamon and sugar, and its one of my favorite desserts.
Sardines in tomato sauce used to be my favorite. It’s a staple “relief goods” in the Philippines lol. Squeeze in some calamansi juice or sprinkle a little salt on it changes the flavor of the canned good drastically. My old time simple rice topping was soy sauce and a neutral flavored cooking oil or if you have any, rendered fat of say bacon or any fatty meat cooked in oil. The rice has to be steaming hot. Just cooked. It’s so simple and flavorful. Back then we can’t buy snacks as little kids and our parents are poor. My cousin, who is just as poor as we are, shared this “recipe” to me and it has become my go-to snack when i’m hungry but there’s no other food around other than hot rice.
@@theywalkinguptoyouand4060 I hope you read my comment properly. 🤗❤️ But I understand why you thought that's what I meant. What I meant was that the SARDINE dish is more common in the Philippines than the Spam dish.
@@susanhafferkamp4325 Spam is ok, but in the Philippines it is considered expensive, a common alternative is the Chinese version, Maling. That's why some are weirded out by the choice of Spam for "Filipino" dish, because it's not really accessible to everyone and as others pointed out, the Indonesian dish is the more common one here in the Philippines.
@@theywalkinguptoyouand4060 :) what the other poster meant, is spam is more expensive in Philippines than sardines -- hence more common to see sardines than spam.. hopw that clears it up a bit.
I usually cook the sardines in tomato sauce with shallots, garlic, birds eye chilli & a splosh of coconut milk. A squeeze of lime is optional. It is to die for.
Here in Argentina a very common toppings for rice are: -Tuna, cubed tomatoes and hard-boiled egg also cut into cubes, you can add mayo too if you like. -Hard-boiled egg in cubes with grated cheese on top, generally reggianito or sardo. -Boiled hot dogs cut into slices, you can add hard-boiled eggs (rice and hard-boiled egg are very commonly paired here as you can see) and mayo too (mayo is very used in almost anything here) -Almost any boiled vegetables that you can imagine, here is called "jardinera", it can have cubed carrots, chickpeas, peas, green beans, cubed zucchini, cubed pumpkin, corn kernels, even some little potato cubes and cubed beetroot, and you can add, you guessed it, hard-boiled egg and mayo to it. -Just grated cheese or mayo when you're lazy.
As a Brazilian, this plate would have beans next to the rice and on top of the rice you could put any kind of meat, salad, etc. I'd probably choose grilled chicken + white rice and black beans + salad with lettuce, tomato and maybe other veggies + potato fries or fried cassava (manioc). Top-notch. We also have what is basically rice pudding, it's called arroz doce.
Dear Beryl (and friends who read this), The "arroz a la cubana" recipe must include a banana, usually fried. Contrarily to what the name would lead you to believe, its origins lie not in Cuban cuisine, but in Canarian (from the Canary Islands) cooking, and it dates back to the time when Cuba was part of the Spanish colonies. I definitely encourage anyone to add a banana to their plate (I personally enjoy it more if it's raw, but it's a matter of personal preference). Some people include sausage, avocados, fries, ie, different toppings, but the basic ingredients are white rice, fried tomato sauce, fried egg(s) and a banana. Love your channel, as it provides different takes on common food from around the world and you share them with such enthusiasm
As Indonesian, I love eating rice topped with scrambled eggs with sausages, also adding a little bit of sweet soy sauce and sambal will make it tastier, and for last just sprinkle some fried shallots or anchovies on top of the rice😋 Give it a try, I bet you guys will craving more for this too
As a Filipino, Tapsilog/Tapkalog is definitely the most iconic over spamsilog. (I know this is just about what they like, but I'm saying this for extra info) Tapsilog/Tapkalog is a mix of 3 words, Tapa (cured dried beef), Sinangag (fried rice) or Kanin (rice), and Itlog (egg)
In Turkey Nohut ile Tavuklu Pilav (chick peas and chicken) is a common street food and we eat it with Yogurt! I never eat rice without yogurt and black pepper😂
the indonesian dish is also very VERY very common in the Philippines especially as a breakfast dish! although it is very versatile and can also be eaten as your lunch or dinner if you dont have food in your house
Kūya Wally's Spamsilog is a customized version of the "-silog" series. It consists of rice or fried rice(Java for me is the best, and its called sinangag, where the "si" part came from), and an egg (or itlog, the "log" part). Why (insert word)-silog?, Because you can add any. Tapsilog if you add Tapa (dried or cured beef, young pork, mutton, etc and grill it or pan-fry it), Hotsilog if you add hotdog, Spamsilog if you add spam. Filipino cuisine is always about customisation, where every household has its own variation.
And for the oatmeal episode: lingonberrie jam and milk! I know you like lingonberries and this is the traditional way to eat oatmeals in Sweden :)! Don’t forget to make oatmeal from scratch with oats, water and salt! Another tips from me is to switch half or tree quarters of the water to milk. It’s a game changer I promise!
I love jam and cream in my oatmeal! I rarely see lingonberry on the shelves here in rural Oregon, though, so I usually go for cherry or strawberry. Yum.
I am from Argentina and the peas are kind of random, most people eat just the tuna and mayo, but it is also really common to add some olives and a hard boiled egg. It’s great if your looking for something fresh and it’s also super practical to make if you have leftover rice.
2:00 "Masagana" is a Filipino sardines brand. I'm actually pretty sure that sardines in tomato sauce first started in the Philippines, then spread to nearby countries. Smoked sardines is a traditional Filipino dish called "tinapa". During the Spanish period, it was sold bottled in oil (what is now known in the Philippines as "Spanish-style" sardines). This industry was particularly widespread in Zamboanga, which became known as the "sardine capital" of the Philippines later on. Canned sardines in tomato sauce first arrived in the Philippines in the 1870s and 1880s, mostly from Spain. They were quite expensive and were considered luxury food. By the early 1900s during the American period, local companies started emulating the Spanish sardine brands and started manufacturing local smoked sardines in tomato sauce. Factories are mentioned as early as 1914, when canned smoked sardines in tomato sauce were being manufactured in the Zamboanga peninsula.
Canned sardines in tomato sauce were well established in Europe long before they reached the Phillipines, but it is possible that the spread of their popularity in east Asian markets started there
@@Charlzton That's what I said. Canned sardines in tomato sauce _from Spain._ They were really only popular in Catholic Mediterranean countries in the 1800s. Aside from Spain: France (where canning was invented), Portugal, and Italy. Italy had no Asian colonies. None of the French and Portuguese colonies in Asia had good enough access to a sardine fishing industry and tomatoes to start a local industry. They were also popular in the US in the early 1900s to the 1950s, which coincidentally is also the period they colonized the Philippines, and the period when the first Philippine factories for sardines in tomato sauce was established. While canned sardines also reached Portuguese and French colonies in the late 1800s (Indochina, Maluku, Goa, Macau), they were luxury goods only eaten by the elite (in this case: European expats), like they were initially in the Philippines. Canning was expensive back then. Without the establishment of local factories, they never really reached the native populations there. The UK and the Dutch (which colonized most of Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, South Asia) did not eat that much sardines (the UK mainly caught sardines for oil). A clearer proof is that the sardines sold in other countries in Southeast Asia follow the Philippine style of branding which started with LIGO sardines (established in the 1950s, from a collaboration between a Filipino company and the Liberty Gold cannery of California, hence "LIGO"). Round cans taller than their width (in green, red, yellow, white, or blue), with a picture of one or two sardines with a tomato, and the brand name on top. Quite different from European branding (which has sardines in a rectangular or flat cylindrical can). In fact, the LIGO brand is also found in Indonesia.
My dad loves Spanish-style sardines. I remember a place called Pan de Manila who sold really good ones. But now the canned ones taste just as good so that's what he buys
Hi Beryl, I was wondering about tea around the world and maybe what snack people eat with it? I enjoy your videos so much. They are relaxing and educational at the same time. ❤
as a mexican, we like to pour whatever broth/sauce we used for the main dish on the rice; usually spicy. my personal favorite is a nice big spoonful of mole from the pot, next to 2-3 pieces of chicken covered it in as well
I’m from Turkey, in Turkey there are a lot of things we eat with rice, and I just wrote what I remember , rice with french grape, or raisins,garniture, rice with beans,meat( chicken),chickpeas etc. It is literally so delicious and you can add whatever you want,it’s delicious with everything. Yummy.
Spanidard here, very glad to see one of my favourite dishes here! Arroz a la cubana is delicious and I'm very willing to try every dish. Also, as a fun tribia, here and in France (as far as I know from friends) it's very common to make a dessert with rice called "arroz con leche" (rice with milk) so it didn't surprise me to see sweet ingredients with rice! 😊✨
Furikake is a great rice topping for me. But for my all-time favorite, i make sure that it's hot (either freshly-cooked or microwaved) and then crack a raw egg on it and salt to taste.
I'm an American from the south and my family usually eat white rice topped with green peas, beef cutlet, and pepper gravy. It's very good :} I like to mix the rice with the gravy and peas after i finish off the cutlet lol
North India is Achar . Sounth India have too many pickles to count . And andha Pradesh and Telangana have "avakai" which is basically mango picked in oil and red chilli powder . Most also add garlic .
This is the PERFECT video. For someone who grocery shops for 1, it's nice to have quick snacks/dishes to put together that are savory and/or sweet, and take no time at all. Thanks Beryl! Keep these segments going! :D
Submission for Hot Dogs is closed! WOW I got SO MANY, I think I might have to do 2 of these, but I will spread them out, I'm shocked by all these toppings and also so excited.
Ah gutted I missed it! I have curry sauerkraut on mine - it's made by a small Scottish producer called Aye Piclked and it's amazing. And then obvs yellow mustard and ketchup.
Bummer I missed the submission. I'll say it anyways.. I'm from California and my hot dogs I fry in a pan and top them with Mayo, dill pickle relish and crunched up Tortilla chips.
Oh, please, be sure to consider Brazil. It'll be a challenge since we can put like up to 10 toppings on our hot dogs. Hahaha! But it almost an art work, messy, but artistic. Hahahaha! 😁🤣❤
I saw a hilarious video about someone from South America where their “American style” hotdogs have a lot of crazy toppings (but I forget where) was so disappointed to find out real American hot dogs are usually pretty boring with just mustard and ketchup
As a Turkish, I can say that 03:26 has nothing to do with Turkey. While watching the video, I was like "What's going on lmao". I wish she had presented the real Turkish rice cuisine, instead of her personal creation. Feel free to search: "Pilav Üstü Döner" or "Pilav Üstü Kuru Fasulye" to get more healthy info about Turkish style.
So nice to see Arroz a la Cubana in here! I'm also from Spain and would love to add on: in some parts, we also add to the dish fried ripe plantain! The sweetness of the caramelized plantains gives the dish a whole new level of taste and texture, balancing out really well the acid of the tomato sauce :D
Rice with butter cinnamon and sugar! My grandma is from Arkansas, USA where they grow alot of rice. This was a common breakfast we had growing up. Lol, my mom used to store the rice in recycled margarine containers, then microwave it in the morning with butter, cinnamon and sugar 🤤 Reminds me of childhood, and cold winter mornings
I think my grandma did it with milk, but my whole family can't eat milk, so my mom probably cut it out! Wonder if my grandma was given it to her by her Polish grandparents 🤔
Here in Aus is another version of this making a poor mans rice pudding with warm leftover rice, milk or cream, vanilla essence, sugar and added cinnamon or nutmeg 😁 This is so old that my great grandmother used to still eat it in her nursing home years ago!
"Eggs and Soy Sauce" staple food for most of college students in my country who doesn't live with their parent during their study. And that recipe from USA...(checking my fridge atm...)...Yep, gonna try that for breakfast!
Growing up poor or middle class one of my favorite rice meals was a basic chili with a little ground beef. I miss my dad's cooking as a kid, it doesn't feel the same now I'm grown up and cook all sorts of stuff. Sometimes we forget the simple comfort foods and consider them boring.
As an Indonesian I can confirm that everything - I mean *everything* goes well with rice. We eat pizza? With rice. We eat burger? Deconstruct it and eat with rice. Steak? With rice. If rocks and dirt are edible I'm sure they're gonna go well with rice too.
I'm from Colombia and we love having arroz con coco. You can have it plain or with raisins. We eat it with any kind of savory chicken, beef or fish dish or beans for the vegans. My mom used to make it with an entire coconut. Blending it and extracting the oils but now she bits the coconut rice packets when she travels there. I also love rice with savory black eye peas.
For sardines with tomato sauce, in Thailand we put alot of onion in. Add some lime or lemon juice or vinegar. Then add little fresh chilly. This dish is highly recommended.
As a spanish person. I think Spanish was one of most accurate Arroz a la Cubana is actually eaten all across Spain different parts (mostly) is a simple dish to make at home. Tomate Frito is really used a lot for like spaghetti, rice, soup and even in some paella and it's super good. I remember I used to go to my aunties and she will make spaghetti, with tomate frito and sausages I ate it because my cousin was really picky and only would eat sausages. First thing went I went back to Spain I asked for my aunties dish. It brings back childhood memories
I absolutely love how versatile rice is! Growing up, my mom would make something very similar to the rice with sugar and cream, but she would mix butter and brown sugar instead! It's definitely a comfort food, and I think I may need to give the cream version a try with some of the leftover rice in my fridge tonight 😄🍚
In Germany, the most common rice dish my family often had was Hühnerfrikassee. Rice with white sauce, chicken, peas and carrots. Though as I got older I started to prefer the asian variants of fried rice or curry as toppings instead.
I’m Mexican, In my house we often ate rice with pinto beans cheese and, and my mom’s key ingredient, jalapeño juice. It was favorite quick food as a child and I find myself craving as an adult.
Top tip for the canned sardines: If you don't like the fishy sardine smell, add tomatoes to the pot, then heat your canned sardines. Add lime juice, thai lemon basil right at the end. You're welcome.
That's how we do it in the Caribbean, we open out the sardine clean out the bones and scrape the skin then Sautee it with onions, garlic, cilantro and lime juice.
Hello all,.. This video made me feel so connected to the rest of the world like I have never ever felt before. This was just great. I am going to try them all. Thank you all for the great recipes.

LOL, true very true!

Tumpak 😊👍
LOLOL. True!
As an eastern Asian, I genuinely feel uncomfortable putting only sweet things on top of white rice….. In my culture it is more common to combine sweets with sticky rice or black rice etc. And I promise sticky rice just makes sweet dishes more interesting
Filipino here and I agree, I do know people who like sweet toppings on white rice (milo / sugar) but sticky rice is perfect for sweet dishes
IKR!! i felt so uncomfortable just thinking about rice and sweet.
I just about to comment this lol 😂, it is so weird to see rice combined with sweet ingredients unless it is sticky rice.. but, eh, sometimes trying something that out of ordinary is not hurt right? Legit wanna try the strawberry smoothie 😂
@@ultracat942
Well, rice doesn't really have a salty or sweet taste and there are many delicious sweets you can make with it like mochi/daifuku or rice pudding. You can't really say that if you haven't tried it.
@@ultracat942 i and my family eat durians (sweet) with white rice . Not sticky rice. Hey , people have different taste buds
honestly, in Indonesia we put almost anything with rice. beef, chicken, vegetable, etc. we even put noodle like indomie to rice, which carb with carb but we do it anyway. I guess it's the thing of "it's not really a meal without rice".
most SEA countries are. can't be a meal without rice, otherwise it would be just a snack. Bread, snack. Salad, snack. Viand only, Snack. Fish and Chips, snack. Burger, Snack. Anything that is a meal with only dish/viand without rice is a snack for us, unless we get full which is rårely felt.
Yep
As a filipino, I agree with you
Greetings from luxemburg,
My step-father is from Indonesia and I can confirm. My favorite dish is soto ayam. (Idk if I wrote it right.) Who doesn't love chicken soup?😂 but yeah we eat rice with everything too.
We eat "pancit" (noodle dish) with bread. Carbs on carbs baby ahahahaha
as an indian, I would like to clarify that rice is eaten differently in different regions. People in the north prefer rich gravies like rajma or chole , while things like sambar are more prominent in the south. the western and eastern parts have their own versions.
And in northeast, rice is eaten with almost everything, soup, vegetables, meat, chutney, stir fry, salads, milk
Rich gravies are not eaten on a regular basis, they are occasional. Regular things are daals with rice in lunch or pulaos of different kinds. Some people even add ghee and boora or powdered sugar or jaggery powder or shakkar on plain boiled rice and it's actually very tasty. In eastern and north eastern India people even eat dry vegetable preparations with rice like a simple dry potato sabji in bengal or Assam.
How can we forget pulses (dal)
Fish curry and fish fry with onions = heaven
@@bhutmoirangthem7138 exactly same in south... rice is our only staple... goes with anything and everything.
3:01 As a Korean, I have to give a shoutout for this Phillipino dude! Adding Kimchi on top of that just completes the dish.
This guy deserves to have a citizenship in KOREA.
Korean products are one of the most consumed here in the Philippines. There are a lot of Korean stores everywhere. And statistically, there are a lot of Koreans here in the Philippines. We have several Korean towns, and there's a new Korea Town being built in Clark city. So it is not surprising anymore to see Filipinos "adopt" Korean culture. Korea's influence is growing day by day in the Philippines! Much love and respect from the Philippines!

Not sure if you've already done it, but a "leftovers" series would be fun. As in, "What the World Does with Leftover Rice/Bread/Mashed Potatoes/Pasta etc."
Up!!!
Great idea!...except that at my house, there may sometimes be mashed potatoes, but _leftover_ mashed potatoes are about as common as flying armadillos. However, when they do miraculously appear, they tend to get turned into fish cakes, or even more rarely, into aloo masala for dosas.
Now, leftover rice gets turned into...everything.
I agree. My mom is super creative with them.
We had leftover ham that I froze in early December. So far: potato casserole, grilled ham, pear and brie on sourdough. Black eyed pea soup...one quiche and I'm done. I don't even like ham, but..
That'll be amazing??
As an Indian, I believe lentils (to be extremely specific - arhar / yellow dal) on rice; dish is called dal chawal, would have been the best representation of how Indians usually eat white rice. As India is so diverse, the way of cooking lentils can be different but it's a basic daily meal with rice. From north to south, east to west, everybody consumes it on daily basis.
Well kind of true...but ther is also moong dal which is used in Bengal daily.
Not really. Dal is something VERY new in Arunachal.
We usually eat with the broth from boiled meat (beef and pork are the preferred ones).
Not really, in my region, coconut curry or meat broth is consumed on daily basis. We rarely have daal
Exactly. Ik North Indians do. And I'm from the east. We love it too
Turns out India is way too diverse so your statement abt everyone using dal on daily basis might not be correct
was kinda surprised none of the americans said red beans and rice! its such a classic meal in the south and definitely one of my comfort foods
I came here to say the same mf thing lmaoooo sad that no Cajun folk participated in the video.
it all looks so good though
I know! It’s a very common dish in the south but again, the US is very large and diverse. I’ve never heard of the chicken nugget one. I like beef chili on rice.
@@Treyk901 Seriously, the US can seem like 50 countries stitched together
Definitely that’s the most uniquely American on-white-rice dish, sad it wasn’t highlighted here.
As a Polish person, I've never had rice with a smoothie. I believe that the dessert-like rice boiled with some sugar, apples and lots of cinnamon is more common.
Yeah, but rather, they mostly eat it with meat and sauce
@@coffeniffler4 yeah that's what i thought of first too but i gotta admit the apples and rice dessert is really tasty too

@@neetsuccess2261 no... From tripura. But yea Bengali....doodh bhaat is comfort food
It really surprised me. But in our filipino culture, I think we have a specific type of rice for the sweet dishes. The plain rice is usually topped with more savory dishes.
Yes. umami or salty is the only ones I can eat with rice
The Indonesian dish is something we eat all the time in Jamaican, we eat tin mackerel in tomato sauce with rice as an easy comfort food. I thought it was just a Jamaican dish but its cool finding out Indonesia has it too
We love sardine and tomato sauce here in Indonesia, love to see that Jamaica have it too... ❤
We have alot of sauce with tomato like this
- Saus Asam Manis
- Bumbu Merah
- Saus Padang
- Saus Balado (+chilli)
Etc
Yes!! in indonesia ppl sometimes cook it with adding some chili sauce,garlic,chili,and onions in it so the taste is really rich. But theres some ppl who doesn't do it bcs too lazy (still taste good though)
Rice, canned sardines, sunny side up egg… omg! It’s such a comfort food
Yes we eat it all the time..especially when you are on a budget. Very simple and cheap
As a US American, I can say that I've never seen a rice combo like that in my entire life! It's not unbelievable tho, when you're surrounded by people living off of minimum wage, you can sometimes see the craziest foods. That, and just personal cravings.
Personally, I put tomato sauce or curry with some type of meat like sausage, shrimp, or chicken, add sugar or spice to really get that flavor in, hell, do both if you want to.
Ikr, idk how I feel about chicken nuggets and rice??? Personally im maple syrup and smoked salmon on rice, but i like your combo and ideas too!!
I think a more quintessential American rice topping is either dinty-moore beef stew or something along the lines of sausage and gravy.
I’ve never seen it either, but it’s not too far off from some things I’ve seen. It’s really common where I’m at in the USA to have rice pilaf and chicken in some way, or chicken, rice, and gravy. Hers reminds me of a teenager making a meal at 3am
Maybe its just me but i feel like the “most American” basic rice dish would be red beans and rice
I just add milk butter and sugar then microwave it
As a Filipino, my first thought would be exactly like the Indonesian one. We love sardines here at home. It's a very fast and easy fix when hungry. Other canned food varieties are also an option. For fruits, I've paired rice with mango or banana. Not exactly a fan of the fruit pair-up though but I know people who loves them. Of course any type of silog as well. Garlic or plain rice, a fried egg and any other fried meat is just heavenly. There's also the options of dried fish, bagoong, salted egg or ginamos. Milo or a 3in1 coffee can be paired with rice as well.
my first thought too. although I'm not filipino, I had a filipino and a hawaiian friend growing up. the filipino friend would eat rice and sardines, and the hawaiian friend would be the one eating rice, spam and eggs. lol
Kala ko nga rin sa pinas ung sardines. 🤭 Parang di naman pang pinoy yung nagrepresent althou un pinakagusto ni Ateng
Akala ko nga yung sa Pilipinas ay Star Margarine
Speaking of food and rice pairing, my family pairs rice with durians sometimes (we like the bittersweet variant). I think it's more of an acquired taste, but it tastes great to me hahaha
he was too influenced by halyu wave i guess. lmaooo its so cringey
As a Filipino, I connect more with Indonesia's sardines with tomato sauce than my man's fried egg, spam, and kimchi. What he said is more South Korean, although I've also had it a couple of times, than Filipino toppings. Spam, fried egg, and kimchi does not at all represent Filipino white rice toppings. It's only for Filipinos who can afford spam, which most lower to middle class Filipinos find incredibly expensive, and who have acclimated to the foreign and unfamiliar taste of kimchi.
Moreover, you'll find more Filipino households eating canned sardines with tomato sauce with rice than spam, kimchi, and fried egg, since canned sardines is way way cheaper than a can of spam (you can buy more than five cans of sardines with tomato sauce for what it costs for a can of spam). I think Filipino common cuisine/white rice topping was not at all given justice or represented in this video/by that guy, sadly.
true, sardines is more common... but I like oil and soy sauce (patis) in my rice, or just egg and salt... I can't afford Spam or kimchi, I can afford sardines tho but it's not my taste 😂😅
2:46 The dish misrepresents us Filipinos. First, he should NOT call it "Spamsilog" because "silog" itself is the combination of two Tagalog words "sinangag" (garlic rice) and "itlog" (egg). He used steamed rice not garlic rice. Next, spam and kimchi are not staples in the Philippines.

@@xxxtefennixxx no, that’s something you have on the side. The rice and bean and tomato broth (which it isn’t, it’s usually some meaty broth) is put in seperate bowls.
Or you can have them on the same plate, but not mixed together. The authentic way is to have it in two seperate bowls.

Hi everybody! I am from Poland and I am quite suprised that Róża poured smoothie over her rice. I think that if she served it with apples (cooked, with cinnamon) and some sour cream, maybe a little sugar as a sweetener it would be more accurate. Although, I understand that she was just showing how she likes to eat her rice, but from the cultural aspect, I think that rice with apples is more common.
Maybe it depends on the region - my first thought was similar to Róża's - rice with mashed strawberries mixed with sugar and cream/yogurt
@@alicem.3622 yeah but not a smoothie
@@hamptaaa Yeah, that's true. For me it was always mashed strawberries, not blended smoothie. But maybe that's the way her family likes to prepare it faster - co kto lubi

Although rice with apples is pretty common too
Central Poland (Łódź) here. I never heard about adding apple but cream, sugar and cinnamon is staple. Choped strawberries or flavored yogurt instead of cream was also common thing I saw as a child. I'm suprised that sweet rice is so strange for people.

As a Turk, Mines version is her personal variant. Its not that common to put salad on it (unless you want to kill off your rests from yesterday). Usually its only the Anatolian chickpea-meat cube "curry" (Turks use tomato paste for everything an Indian would use curry for). Its often served during big gatherings.

As a Filipino, the Indonesian way tends to resonate me more. That one with spam and kimchi isn't really authentic Filipino, it's too Americanized and Korean. That's more of a personal preference of a Fil-Am than a representation of what Filipinos do. Still delicious though 😋

@@wiltmarlonelao luncheon meat has been popularized by the Americans in the Philippines in the 1920s. So technically, handel1111 is somewhat right. The more appropriate term will be “WESTERNIZED” though. 😅
As a side note though, cultural differences among Filipinos and Fil-Ams are getting wider, we can say that Fil-Ams already have their own culture. A common experience among Fil-Ams is that they’re not “Western” enough for Americans, but not Filipino enough for Filipinos.
As an Indonesian the most common toppings my family use are:
- Fried egg with soy sauce or chili sauce
- Salt & kerupuk
- Gorengan tempe/corn
- Instant noodle (goreng variant)

As an indonesian, i can confirm that rice with sardines is one of the most good yet simple dish that u can eat anytime.
But, most indonesian liked to re-cook those sardines and add some ingredients like ginger, chili, a bit salt and a bit water. Adding some ginger and chili is to make the taste become more tasty (well indonesian like to eat something spicy, u know..) and to reducing the odor of the fish.

I’m Filipino, living in the Philippines. And it was interesting to see that someone who’s Filipino-American shared something that’s more Hawaiian (spam) and Korean (because of the kimchi) than actually Filipino. We do love Spam here, but it’s pretty expensive so most Filipinos wouldn’t be able to buy it often. A more Filipino dish maybe would have been adobo (meat marinated in soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, and bay leaves) and rice. Or if we stick to silog (always with egg because egg in Filipino is itlog) dishes, the popular ones are tapa, tocino, or longganisa (which I think are all of Spanish origins, but now have very Filipino takes on them). And if we used canned goods, the sardines one is also common in a lot of Filipino households. Thought to share because this series is intruiging. ☺️
As someone who also grew up in the states, rice with spam, eggs and banana sauce are a go-to dish for me. But it doesn’t beat rice with eggs and tocino or pampanga longanisa 😋 having either tocino or longanisa actually feels more fancy for me tbh, but that’s cause idk how the cook them lol
@@runway5338 This is what I loved about this series. It showed how food transforms when mixed with different cultures/placed in a different context or even when passed down to the next generation.
@@lorraelena yes! We can already see that in the countries themselves. Each province or state has their own way of making the same dish. Really interesting what we can learn from a dish when thought of in that way.
@@runway5338 This makes me miss traveling so much. I always learn something new even if I just travel to a different province locally. All the more when I travel to a totally different country.
Yeah I think they're more 'personal' favourite dishes than representative of some cultures, a lot of Asians use Spam now and mix Kimchi/ Make Dumplings / do whatever so everything's pretty mixed now
It's so interesting! Thanks for sharing! As a rice lover, I can't decide on number one, but I’d have to say the Yakitori bowl (teriyaki chicken and egg over rice) is amazing❤️
I like grean tea with eels when i go to a japanese restaurant
Teriyaki chicken requires a bit of prepping, most of the dishes presented were mostly just topped with readily available ingredients especially in the US like canned food, fruits, and veg, and I don't think there is such a thing as frozen or canned teriyaki chicken, Id say maybe just frozen nuggets or any frozen chicken product topped with store bought teriyaki sauce would do well as a substitute
Moe 😍
@@traphimawari7760 actually there are the canned yakitori in Japan, which come to be as close as teriyaki chicken, though they might be hard to find outside the country.
Uwaa!! Its moe!😍
As a Filipino, the Indonesian one resonated more with me. I also love putting in raw red onion and calamansi with the sardines.
As an indonesian, the filipino resonated more with me. Egg and spam, nice meal
Agree
Yes!! or with spiced vinegar and steamed okra/kangkong/puso ng saging/kamote tops/eggplant on the side is my favorite rice combos. Brings you back to childhood. 💚
@@Antoinne9 if you are not Muslim then yes you don't have restrictions to eat pork spam.
2:46 The dish misrepresents us Filipinos. First, he should NOT call it "Spamsilog" because "silog" itself is the combination of two Tagalog words "sinangag" (garlic rice) and "itlog" (egg). He used steamed rice not garlic rice. Next, spam and kimchi are not staples in the Philippines.
I'm from Argentina, rice with tuna is always great, I like to drizzle some olive oil on the rice, some sriracha and chopped scalions and finish it with grated cheese on top, parmesan works the best. I like to do this whenever I have rice in the fridge from a previous preparation, it's a quick and tasty meal.
i'm from indonesia, i can attest that the sardine with tomato sauce is a staple in many households. if you feel like it, my mom likes to add tons of shallots and garlic (the amount of shallots is twice the amount of garlic, however much is up to you) and like one or two sliced up chili peppers into it. she'd fry the alliums and the chilies until fragrant then add the sardines in, and sometimes when she feels like it she'd also put in sweet soy sauce. it elevates the sardines' taste, and i always feel weird to eat sardines without a ton of shallot and garlic now.
I’m from the Philippines and we also do this! We also put onions and garlic and just to add extra flavor, we add a dash of vinegar! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Sardines is also a staple food in ph. I never had tried adding shallots and garlic with soy sause and chillies, but it sounds tasty I'll try it next time we have sardines, thanks!
Yeah, it's kinda weird eating canned sardines that is reheated with no extra seasoning (just the existing fish and tomato sauce).
Actually the brand Masagana means Bountiful or Plenty in Filipino. I think it's a Filipino brand because the design of the can is somewhat similar to our Ligo Sardines.
Indonesian who grew up abroad here-so cool to see this! Learned this from my parents but didn’t realize it was an Indonesian thing. I even buy the same brand.
the polish strawberry rice is usually done a bit differently, you just mash fresh strawberries with sugar and sour cream and pour it onto rice. the one with store bought smoothie i’ve seen for the first time in my polish lifespan
I’m from Poland and I’ve never seen anyone eat rice with a smoothie, I think that it’s more common to add it to pasta or just use strawberries and add sour cream and sugar🤤 The rice dessert is popular here to eat it with apples, sugar and cinnamon (usually warm). Some people also like to add sour cream. I ate it like that as a kid, I promise it’s delicious🥺💜
I’m gonna try making this sometime this week, it sounds really yummy 🤤 wish I’d had my polish my grandma around longer, I’d liked to have learned her recipes. I do have her recipe book though 💜
@@ArianaCapraro aww🥺 I hope you’ll like it💜
Does it use a regular rice or a more sticky & sweeter rice?
@@mas_yaris I use regular rice but I’m sure any would be good, so what you prefer :)
03:26 I can assure you it has never been a thing in Turkey, even not as a street food. Rice topped with pulled chicken, or rice topped with beans (kuru fasulye) are two staple dishes in Turkey but no one tops warm rice with a cold we salad, thankfully.
i have a feeling im going to love this series, the table sets were *chef's kiss* -so pretty and how you matched it to everyone's video. The off cam comments were very fun as well. Can't wait to try some of these out and looking forward to seeing more in the future. Thanks to everyone who so kindly share their favorite toppings!!!
I’m going to have to watch this again. I was focusing on the combinations and didn’t even see the table sets… but I want to! 😂
Can't go wrong with rice, egg and Kewpie Mayo - some furikake on top is just *chef's kiss* Breakfast, lunch, and dinner right there!
Man... furikake is crack for rice... thumbs up.
I was a classroom teacher, and one of my students who is Japanese taught me exactly this. I took her recipe and I've survived on a budget because of it.
Add a little kimchi and I'm there. That was my breakfast all summer.
@@lua070681 Yes! Great for budget eating. And furikake comes in so many flavors. Sriracha or chili oil also helps shake it up a bit too!
mmm some cholesterol and pus filled dairy on rice.
Even though it's representing Spain, it is nice to finally see a Cuban dish on here for a change. Cuban cuisine, like the rest of the Caribbean's cuisine, is underrated. With influences from ranging from Spanish, African, Indian and even Chinese, the Caribbean really is a diverse region of culture culinarily and musically as well. And Caribbean cuisine is more than just Jamaican!
On rice, I like to make Cuban-style picadillo which is ground beef (though you could do pork as well) with raisins, garlic, dried oregano, cayenne, ground cumin, finely chopped yellow onion, tomato paste, olives (I prefer pimento-stuffed), bay leaves, and dry white wine and it's perfect. Looking forward to more Cuban cuisine!
As a Trinidadian I hear you! We have so much history and diversity sprinkled throughout our Caribbean islands that gave us such amazing food traditions. Caribbean food needs to be highlighted more often. It's crazy because I've literally argued with white rolls about Puerto Rico and Cuba even being Caribbean 🫣
Well to be fair, real Cuban rice is waay better. Here in Spain we do the easy and cheap version of it
here in the philippines, arroz a la cubana is tomato base, ground beef, peas, carrots, potato, pasas, egg, and a banana. if you remove the banana and raisins, and replace the egg with a hardboiled egg, we call it a picadillo (not sure but i think it's funny). 😂
Indonesians also commonly put fried egg, kecap manis, and fried onion, on top of white rice. Just simple, quick, and delicious meal. Great video btw...
As a fellow Indonesian who does this a LOT as a kid and not often enough as a stressed teenager in university, I can vouch for this. This unlocked a childhood memory of mine. I will definitely do this more often.
Do you put anything on the side? Or just that?
I also do that when I was kid. But instead with kecap manis, I'm using sambal ABC. Mantab!
@@Evieisnumber1 This kind of dish is usually when we don't have anything beside Eggs and rice. So yeah, just that.
I do this with added sambal oelek (sorry I am Canadian I might have not spelled it properly) honestly you gotta try it
"What do you put on white rice."
🇵🇭 Philippines: EVERYTHING. Literally EVERYTHING. You don't even understand. A meal is not a meal without white rice. ALL our dishes require white rice. The only exceptions are noodles and soups, and even that are commonly eaten with rice as well. Everything else are considered "snacks."
In fact, a common mistake foreigners make is that they eat our dishes WITHOUT rice, which make the dishes seem overseasoned because it does not have the balance that white rice brings.
White rice is also a palate cleanser for bold tastes. Like, if you have a strong umami dish, white rice balances the flavor. It’s a perfect foil to fatty seafood or grilled beef. 😋
I think its the same with most south east asia. Its our staple dish and we love it.
@@slumberotter5411 Yep. It's sometimes weird to me how westerners associate rice more with East Asia (Chinese/Japanese), when by far, rice is more central to the cuisines of Southeast Asia. It's actually our ancestral crop.
The ancestors of the four main ethnolinguistic groups of Southeast Asians (Austronesians, Kra-Dai, Austroasiatic, and Hmong-Mien) first domesticated rice in their original homelands in southeastern China in the early stone age at around 10,000 to 15,000 years ago (before the region was conquered by the Han Chinese around 4000 to 2000 years ago).
@@AngryKittens nice to know that. Thx for sharing the info 👍❤️
India too!! At least south India lol
hi Beryl! i am from Turkey and i haven’t seen a single person putting cucumber on a rice, even for once. that was shocking for me and i don’t think the recipe you shared in your video reflects how Turkish people eat rice with a topping. we usually put boiled pulled chicken and black pepper powder. an onion is usually preferred as a complementary. i hope you try this! lots of love ❤️
Not even onion black pepper chickpeas and chicken
@@gamze8434 yeah
Pilav üstü kuru değilde bunu söylemesi beni çok şaşırttı, bu ne abi
I'm Turkish too and my mom would always make rice topped with pulled chicken, chickpeas, yogurt, and black pepper! What she made was something I haven't really seen haha
This is a classic in İstanbul as street food, lots of vendors have salad (çoban salata) ready at the stall cause people love putting it on top of nohut pilav. It's sooooo popular that I'm kinda shocked you say that you've never seen it. Maybe it's not seen in other parts of Turkey but it's definitely a well known combintion in Istanbul. Although I agree with Gamze that the most common is chickpeas, boiled chicked and black pepper
As a Mongolian, I would 100% recommend the recipe. I know it sounds weird, but with right amount of ingredients, u will have a wonderful snack
The Indonesia one, rice w/ just a can of sardines, is one of my favorite comfort foods! I love the texture of the fish bones & the fact that you can eat them. My dad is from the Philippines, he came to the U.S. when he was 19, and he'd make this as an easy weeknight dinner. The spam sulag is also a nostalgic breakfast for me, yum!!
Yummy and I am from Croatia ⭐️

Sardines in tomato sauce is what my Dad used to make for lunch in the Summer to get us by for the real meal he was cooking for dinner.
@@JamesShow what a smart idea!
One of my favorites, as well. I'm from Brazil.
I legit thought that the sardines in tomato sauce would be the Filipino one. I think its safe to say that majority of Filipinos haven't even tasted Kimchi. And Spam is hella expensive here. It would've been better if he replaced spam with beefloaf and disregarded Kimchi. But it looked good and she enjoyed it, so all is good. ❤️
edit: I personally top my rice with sardines in tomato sauce stirr fried with eggs.
If it make you feel better I don;t think many American would ever eat rice with chicken nugget. That one was weird to most American but understandable since most of us are broke. Sometime we eat whatever we got even chicken nugget and rice.
@@bobbysmith8095 I think I was in college before I realized people don't eat steak or pork chops with rice.
@@bobbysmith8095 in fact I grew up eating fried chicken with rice, too.
@@JamesShow I did too, I am Asian. My cousin even eat hot dog and hot Cheeto with rice. We live in America but I wouldn't consider those American topping on rice though. Just weird Asian habit of eating everything with rice. I know some American eat chicken nugget with rice but it not like an American thing to put it on rice. American usually like rice with butter as a topping. Maybe some fresh herb but that the official thing most American would agree on.
Thought the same! Spam is could fall under fancy in general Philippine setting. Canned beef loaf or meat loaf is more common and kimchi is more of an East Asian, specifically Korean, for a Filipino version, atsara/atchara would probably be it. But that's just for me. 🙂
As an indian can confirm we used many different things with rice like Butter or ghee and salt then lentils or cereal are used very much then we aslo have sweet rice know as misthi doi bhaat,we also use curd on top of rice and many more....
..So like our culture we have different option which we used with rice❤️❤️❤️
Curd on rice especially with dal is the best combination one can have and also adding bharwa achar give a real kick to the dish like u can make normal dal chawal way tasty by adding things to it!
@@himanimishra5535 the very purpose of this video is to use 3-4 ingredients. Dal itself has 10 ingredients haha. But yes Dal+curd tastes amazing. and so does pickle with curd and rice amazing.
But another recipe with very few ingredients is mixing rice with a paste of crushed garlic, red chilly powder, salt and ghee. Any masala curry especially chicken masala with curd is heavenly too.
@@himanimishra5535 curd Arahar dal and rice is my favorite combo.Bharva Bhindi or just crispy fried ones add just the right appetizing kick to it.And a pinch of aam or carrot aachar is just mmhhhmm.Chole Chawal is another blessing, a truly iconic spicy rice combo I love. And among dals Rajma is kinda special ;)

I'm an American and rice is a huge part of our culture in the South. Topped with red beans in a spicy sauce, shrimp in a creole sauce, and even just served as a side dish with brown gravy.
Yeah if you’re in the south. the Northwest is a lot different
That or just butter and gravy
Lie, americans dont know how to cook rice
It's part of dishes eaten traditionally. I wouldn't say it's part of the actual culture.
As an Indonesian for my family we eat anything on top of rice be its tempe, tofu, veg, sausages, chicken nuggets, eggs, etc.
As my grandma once said "If its not without rice, its not a proper meal"
Omg as a Spaniard I also love arroz a la cubana (even though it's literally cuban) it's just so good and I think of it as my childhood thanks to my grandma
as a filipino, we pair almost anything with rice. but mostly with savory food. the one with strawberry is surprising to me though.
Same feeling for me.
In Indonesia we treat rice most all the time for savory food.
The sweet sticky rice is the ones that we use for dessert and sweet dish.
I do know my friends love to eat rice with fruits, but never once I see someone pour a smoothie on top of the rice. I was so surprised
Filipino too, my family likes to pair mangoes, banana and atis to our rice if we have any of these fruits available haha
As a Polish person, I remember back in early 2000s my school canteen would feed us rice with strawberry yoghurt and I really loved it 😋
I loved this idea. Usually whenever I have leftover rice I make a “trash bowl” eggs, sausage, tomato, onions, potatoes… really anything I have left in my fridge I’ll put into the bowl of rice and it ALWAYS hits the spot
😂😂
"Trash bowl" 😭
I'm brazilian and here the most everyday kind o food for lunch/dinner is rice with feijoada (beens - the dried grains cooked in water and seasond with fried onion, bacon, and other kinds of meat and spices), green cabbage and slices of orange are served as well, but here we eat rice with almost all of our meals, with different side dishes, or one pot recipes with rice as the main ingredient!
Loved the video!
Ai obrigada, senti falta da nossa comida nesse vídeo :/
Feijoada todos os dias? 😲
actually it's just rice and beans, nobody here eats feijoada every day
@@karinas5967 Sim, estranhei isso também.
Love this type of video! Really feels like the solution to the problem of "this looks amazing but it's difficult to make or has 20 ingredients"...these were all simple and affordable. A good way to balance some more complex or in-depth dishes from around the world!
I'm French and the first thing that comes to my mind when thinking about white rice is baked salmon and sauce hollandaise. Or that veal stew that we make with a thick floury sauce, it's called blanquette de veau (blanquette as in blanc, which means white, and veau as in veal) and has got to be one of my favourite traditional French dishes!
Whoaaa as an indinesian i never knew you can eat rice with strawberry smoothie or any type of sweets that mentioned in this video. I always thought that rice pairs mainly with savory food
me too (I'm Japanese)
I'm guessing here that most Asians associate rice with an actual meal and not dessert
I really love this format. The simplicity of a few ingredients with a staple. I’d love to see more like this. Of course I also love your other videos but this seems very accessible.
Oh the spam, fried egg, kimchi bowl is like Philippino AND Korean. Big favorite my whole life. I missed your call for rice recipes but I’m going to add mine here: fried tomato paste, garlic, gochujang, sesame oil, soy sauce, chopped spam. Mix it all together with a sunny side up egg. Crumble seasoned nori on top. So delicious.
Yea i would also say that because they put kimchi on it but hey it’s really sooo good anything with kimchi on it 😁😁😁
Achara would've been nice as it is an actual Filipino thing, but then again, Korean foods are becoming international. Kimchi is good though, I eat them often.
This is what I had growing up in Hawaii. So good! Did not know this was a Filipino thing. I’m Filipino and always thought this dish was a Hawaiian thing 🥰
Filipino.
Now you’re speaking my language!😃
the australian and poland rice remind me a lot of Arroz con leche. its a dessert where you cook the rice with milk cinnamon and sugar, and its one of my favorite desserts.
Sardines in tomato sauce used to be my favorite. It’s a staple “relief goods” in the Philippines lol.
Squeeze in some calamansi juice or sprinkle a little salt on it changes the flavor of the canned good drastically.
My old time simple rice topping was soy sauce and a neutral flavored cooking oil or if you have any, rendered fat of say bacon or any fatty meat cooked in oil. The rice has to be steaming hot. Just cooked. It’s so simple and flavorful. Back then we can’t buy snacks as little kids and our parents are poor. My cousin, who is just as poor as we are, shared this “recipe” to me and it has become my go-to snack when i’m hungry but there’s no other food around other than hot rice.
we use margarine instead of oil here and it's amazing
The Indonesian dish is probably more common in the Philippines than the Spam dish 🤣 But both are valid! ❤️
How do you know that? Do you check every indonesian home to see what dish is most common?
@@theywalkinguptoyouand4060 I hope you read my comment properly. 🤗❤️ But I understand why you thought that's what I meant. What I meant was that the SARDINE dish is more common in the Philippines than the Spam dish.
People actually eat Spam... I'm by no means a rich person, but seriously...that stuff is just pure rot. I'd starve to death before eating that crap.
@@susanhafferkamp4325 Spam is ok, but in the Philippines it is considered expensive, a common alternative is the Chinese version, Maling.
That's why some are weirded out by the choice of Spam for "Filipino" dish, because it's not really accessible to everyone and as others pointed out, the Indonesian dish is the more common one here in the Philippines.
@@theywalkinguptoyouand4060 :) what the other poster meant, is spam is more expensive in Philippines than sardines -- hence more common to see sardines than spam.. hopw that clears it up a bit.
I usually cook the sardines in tomato sauce with shallots, garlic, birds eye chilli & a splosh of coconut milk. A squeeze of lime is optional. It is to die for.
That sounds so yummy!
Interesting.
Never tried the addition of coconut milk and lime.
Sound scrumptious. . 🤤
Never tried it with coconut milk before. Might try it nxt time.
God, why not add the kitchen sink while you,re at it. I'd vomit just from the smell.
@@susanhafferkamp4325 lol for a southeast asian like me (Filipino), it sounded really good and totally familiar.
Here in Argentina a very common toppings for rice are:
-Tuna, cubed tomatoes and hard-boiled egg also cut into cubes, you can add mayo too if you like.
-Hard-boiled egg in cubes with grated cheese on top, generally reggianito or sardo.
-Boiled hot dogs cut into slices, you can add hard-boiled eggs (rice and hard-boiled egg are very commonly paired here as you can see) and mayo too (mayo is very used in almost anything here)
-Almost any boiled vegetables that you can imagine, here is called "jardinera", it can have cubed carrots, chickpeas, peas, green beans, cubed zucchini, cubed pumpkin, corn kernels, even some little potato cubes and cubed beetroot, and you can add, you guessed it, hard-boiled egg and mayo to it.
-Just grated cheese or mayo when you're lazy.
As a Brazilian, this plate would have beans next to the rice and on top of the rice you could put any kind of meat, salad, etc. I'd probably choose grilled chicken + white rice and black beans + salad with lettuce, tomato and maybe other veggies + potato fries or fried cassava (manioc). Top-notch.
We also have what is basically rice pudding, it's called arroz doce.
Or fried eggs!
YES WE NEED TO HAVE OUR TOPPINGS
Beans, fried eggs and farofa

Dear Beryl (and friends who read this),
The "arroz a la cubana" recipe must include a banana, usually fried. Contrarily to what the name would lead you to believe, its origins lie not in Cuban cuisine, but in Canarian (from the Canary Islands) cooking, and it dates back to the time when Cuba was part of the Spanish colonies. I definitely encourage anyone to add a banana to their plate (I personally enjoy it more if it's raw, but it's a matter of personal preference). Some people include sausage, avocados, fries, ie, different toppings, but the basic ingredients are white rice, fried tomato sauce, fried egg(s) and a banana.
Love your channel, as it provides different takes on common food from around the world and you share them with such enthusiasm
Hear, hear!!! You need banana for Cuban rice hehe (fried for me, please)
As Indonesian, I love eating rice topped with scrambled eggs with sausages, also adding a little bit of sweet soy sauce and sambal will make it tastier, and for last just sprinkle some fried shallots or anchovies on top of the rice😋
Give it a try, I bet you guys will craving more for this too
THE AESTHETICS in this video though!!! Each dish montage was so BEAUTIFUL, Beryl! I can't get over it 🦋
As a Filipino, Tapsilog/Tapkalog is definitely the most iconic over spamsilog. (I know this is just about what they like, but I'm saying this for extra info)
Tapsilog/Tapkalog is a mix of 3 words, Tapa (cured dried beef), Sinangag (fried rice) or Kanin (rice), and Itlog (egg)
YEP!!!!! 10000000% or he should have used MALING and atchara papaya instead of spam and kimchi.
In Turkey Nohut ile Tavuklu Pilav (chick peas and chicken) is a common street food and we eat it with Yogurt! I never eat rice without yogurt and black pepper😂
the indonesian dish is also very VERY very common in the Philippines especially as a breakfast dish! although it is very versatile and can also be eaten as your lunch or dinner if you dont have food in your house
So happy we have you!!! You brighten our day always!!! Love the fact we get to travel the world and taste their dishes with you!!!
Kūya Wally's Spamsilog is a customized version of the "-silog" series. It consists of rice or fried rice(Java for me is the best, and its called sinangag, where the "si" part came from), and an egg (or itlog, the "log" part). Why (insert word)-silog?, Because you can add any.
Tapsilog if you add Tapa (dried or cured beef, young pork, mutton, etc and grill it or pan-fry it), Hotsilog if you add hotdog, Spamsilog if you add spam. Filipino cuisine is always about customisation, where every household has its own variation.
And for the oatmeal episode: lingonberrie jam and milk! I know you like lingonberries and this is the traditional way to eat oatmeals in Sweden :)! Don’t forget to make oatmeal from scratch with oats, water and salt! Another tips from me is to switch half or tree quarters of the water to milk. It’s a game changer I promise!
I love jam and cream in my oatmeal! I rarely see lingonberry on the shelves here in rural Oregon, though, so I usually go for cherry or strawberry. Yum.
Too much be sugar with the jamb. Nope.
I am from Argentina and the peas are kind of random, most people eat just the tuna and mayo, but it is also really common to add some olives and a hard boiled egg. It’s great if your looking for something fresh and it’s also super practical to make if you have leftover rice.
2:00 "Masagana" is a Filipino sardines brand. I'm actually pretty sure that sardines in tomato sauce first started in the Philippines, then spread to nearby countries. Smoked sardines is a traditional Filipino dish called "tinapa". During the Spanish period, it was sold bottled in oil (what is now known in the Philippines as "Spanish-style" sardines). This industry was particularly widespread in Zamboanga, which became known as the "sardine capital" of the Philippines later on.
Canned sardines in tomato sauce first arrived in the Philippines in the 1870s and 1880s, mostly from Spain. They were quite expensive and were considered luxury food. By the early 1900s during the American period, local companies started emulating the Spanish sardine brands and started manufacturing local smoked sardines in tomato sauce.
Factories are mentioned as early as 1914, when canned smoked sardines in tomato sauce were being manufactured in the Zamboanga peninsula.
Add kalamansi to the Indonesian rice bowl with sardines, and it's already perfect. 👌🍚
Canned sardines in tomato sauce were well established in Europe long before they reached the Phillipines, but it is possible that the spread of their popularity in east Asian markets started there
@@Charlzton exactly, Portugal is known for its canned sardines.
@@Charlzton That's what I said. Canned sardines in tomato sauce _from Spain._ They were really only popular in Catholic Mediterranean countries in the 1800s. Aside from Spain: France (where canning was invented), Portugal, and Italy. Italy had no Asian colonies. None of the French and Portuguese colonies in Asia had good enough access to a sardine fishing industry and tomatoes to start a local industry.
They were also popular in the US in the early 1900s to the 1950s, which coincidentally is also the period they colonized the Philippines, and the period when the first Philippine factories for sardines in tomato sauce was established.
While canned sardines also reached Portuguese and French colonies in the late 1800s (Indochina, Maluku, Goa, Macau), they were luxury goods only eaten by the elite (in this case: European expats), like they were initially in the Philippines. Canning was expensive back then. Without the establishment of local factories, they never really reached the native populations there.
The UK and the Dutch (which colonized most of Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, South Asia) did not eat that much sardines (the UK mainly caught sardines for oil).
A clearer proof is that the sardines sold in other countries in Southeast Asia follow the Philippine style of branding which started with LIGO sardines (established in the 1950s, from a collaboration between a Filipino company and the Liberty Gold cannery of California, hence "LIGO"). Round cans taller than their width (in green, red, yellow, white, or blue), with a picture of one or two sardines with a tomato, and the brand name on top. Quite different from European branding (which has sardines in a rectangular or flat cylindrical can). In fact, the LIGO brand is also found in Indonesia.
My dad loves Spanish-style sardines. I remember a place called Pan de Manila who sold really good ones. But now the canned ones taste just as good so that's what he buys
Hi Beryl, I was wondering about tea around the world and maybe what snack people eat with it? I enjoy your videos so much. They are relaxing and educational at the same time. ❤
Brazilian here: beans and a fried egg. But our white rice have garlic and onion, we don't eat it just cooked with water and salt
best way to eat rice ❤️
as a mexican, we like to pour whatever broth/sauce we used for the main dish on the rice; usually spicy. my personal favorite is a nice big spoonful of mole from the pot, next to 2-3 pieces of chicken covered it in as well
I’m from Turkey, in Turkey there are a lot of things we eat with rice, and I just wrote what I remember , rice with french grape, or raisins,garniture, rice with beans,meat( chicken),chickpeas etc. It is literally so delicious and you can add whatever you want,it’s delicious with everything. Yummy.
Spanidard here, very glad to see one of my favourite dishes here! Arroz a la cubana is delicious and I'm very willing to try every dish. Also, as a fun tribia, here and in France (as far as I know from friends) it's very common to make a dessert with rice called "arroz con leche" (rice with milk) so it didn't surprise me to see sweet ingredients with rice! 😊✨
Furikake is a great rice topping for me. But for my all-time favorite, i make sure that it's hot (either freshly-cooked or microwaved) and then crack a raw egg on it and salt to taste.
Raw eggs are a good way to catch salmonella.
I'm an American from the south and my family usually eat white rice topped with green peas, beef cutlet, and pepper gravy. It's very good :} I like to mix the rice with the gravy and peas after i finish off the cutlet lol
the Filipino version of Kimchi is "achara" It could be a great series for homemade condiments from different countries.
Is achara something like pickled chops of vegetables? Sounds similar to acar in Indonesia
@@gregorysmithsonian yes
yeah I second this. Pickled Vegetables series
Korea - kimchi
Germany - sauerkraut
Philippines - atchara
Indonesia - acar
@@jomybaby22-foodtravel south india- achar ❤️
North India is Achar .
Sounth India have too many pickles to count . And andha Pradesh and Telangana have "avakai" which is basically mango picked in oil and red chilli powder . Most also add garlic .
This is the PERFECT video. For someone who grocery shops for 1, it's nice to have quick snacks/dishes to put together that are savory and/or sweet, and take no time at all. Thanks Beryl! Keep these segments going! :D
Submission for Hot Dogs is closed! WOW I got SO MANY, I think I might have to do 2 of these, but I will spread them out, I'm shocked by all these toppings and also so excited.
Ah gutted I missed it! I have curry sauerkraut on mine - it's made by a small Scottish producer called Aye Piclked and it's amazing. And then obvs yellow mustard and ketchup.
Bummer I missed the submission. I'll say it anyways.. I'm from California and my hot dogs I fry in a pan and top them with Mayo, dill pickle relish and crunched up Tortilla chips.
Oh, please, be sure to consider Brazil. It'll be a challenge since we can put like up to 10 toppings on our hot dogs. Hahaha! But it almost an art work, messy, but artistic. Hahahaha! 😁🤣❤
I always seem to miss these submissions! I keep wanting to represent Costa Rica in so many of these dishes!
I saw a hilarious video about someone from South America where their “American style” hotdogs have a lot of crazy toppings (but I forget where) was so disappointed to find out real American hot dogs are usually pretty boring with just mustard and ketchup
As a Turkish, I can say that 03:26 has nothing to do with Turkey. While watching the video, I was like "What's going on lmao". I wish she had presented the real Turkish rice cuisine, instead of her personal creation.
Feel free to search: "Pilav Üstü Döner" or "Pilav Üstü Kuru Fasulye" to get more healthy info about Turkish style.
So nice to see Arroz a la Cubana in here! I'm also from Spain and would love to add on: in some parts, we also add to the dish fried ripe plantain! The sweetness of the caramelized plantains gives the dish a whole new level of taste and texture, balancing out really well the acid of the tomato sauce :D
And hot dogs! At least in the Canaries
@@Elizabeth-em2zw Oh definitely! Loving the sausages in there too
I'll just keep the plátanos hehe
ohhhh i remember eating arroz a la cubana!! Anyone else got longanizas or was it just something my family did?
Rice with butter cinnamon and sugar! My grandma is from Arkansas, USA where they grow alot of rice. This was a common breakfast we had growing up.
Lol, my mom used to store the rice in recycled margarine containers, then microwave it in the morning with butter, cinnamon and sugar 🤤
Reminds me of childhood, and cold winter mornings
Yes! I am from Poland but my mom used to make something similar, the only difference was that rice used to be cooked in milk, sooo good!
I think my grandma did it with milk, but my whole family can't eat milk, so my mom probably cut it out!
Wonder if my grandma was given it to her by her Polish grandparents 🤔
Here in Aus is another version of this making a poor mans rice pudding with warm leftover rice, milk or cream, vanilla essence, sugar and added cinnamon or nutmeg 😁 This is so old that my great grandmother used to still eat it in her nursing home years ago!
Omg, I want that 😱🤤
"Eggs and Soy Sauce" staple food for most of college students in my country who doesn't live with their parent during their study. And that recipe from USA...(checking my fridge atm...)...Yep, gonna try that for breakfast!
preferably sweet soy sauce (kecap bango for LYFE)
@@itsdragherjade Sekte ABC sachetan stand up~
Funny, I don't think I really ate it until long after college!
Good Lord, I'm American...do not hold me accountable for that shit.
Growing up poor or middle class one of my favorite rice meals was a basic chili with a little ground beef. I miss my dad's cooking as a kid, it doesn't feel the same now I'm grown up and cook all sorts of stuff. Sometimes we forget the simple comfort foods and consider them boring.
As brazilian I have to say rice, beans and a fried egg. And for a sweet version rice, coconut milk, condensed milk and cinnamon. 😋🍚
nada melhor q jm feijaozin no arroz
This is fantastic
cross over episode
As an Indonesian I can confirm that everything - I mean *everything* goes well with rice. We eat pizza? With rice. We eat burger? Deconstruct it and eat with rice. Steak? With rice. If rocks and dirt are edible I'm sure they're gonna go well with rice too.
I'm from Colombia and we love having arroz con coco. You can have it plain or with raisins. We eat it with any kind of savory chicken, beef or fish dish or beans for the vegans.
My mom used to make it with an entire coconut. Blending it and extracting the oils but now she bits the coconut rice packets when she travels there.
I also love rice with savory black eye peas.
For sardines with tomato sauce, in Thailand we put alot of onion in. Add some lime or lemon juice or vinegar. Then add little fresh chilly. This dish is highly recommended.
we do this in indonesia as well! we'd cook the canned sardines again with lemongrass, lime leaves, garlic, chilli, green tomatoes 😋
@@DD-fh6gy and adding fried shallot to the topping hehe
@@DD-fh6gy Oh! Asian style indeed. We are pretty much close since we have a lot of spices. We know how to use them well
As a spanish person. I think Spanish was one of most accurate Arroz a la Cubana is actually eaten all across Spain different parts (mostly) is a simple dish to make at home. Tomate Frito is really used a lot for like spaghetti, rice, soup and even in some paella and it's super good. I remember I used to go to my aunties and she will make spaghetti, with tomate frito and sausages I ate it because my cousin was really picky and only would eat sausages. First thing went I went back to Spain I asked for my aunties dish. It brings back childhood memories
I absolutely love how versatile rice is! Growing up, my mom would make something very similar to the rice with sugar and cream, but she would mix butter and brown sugar instead! It's definitely a comfort food, and I think I may need to give the cream version a try with some of the leftover rice in my fridge tonight 😄🍚
I add butter and cinnamon sugar to leftover rice!
It's called rice pudding.
In Germany, the most common rice dish my family often had was Hühnerfrikassee. Rice with white sauce, chicken, peas and carrots.
Though as I got older I started to prefer the asian variants of fried rice or curry as toppings instead.
I’m Mexican,
In my house we often ate rice with pinto beans cheese and, and my mom’s key ingredient, jalapeño juice. It was favorite quick food as a child and I find myself craving as an adult.
We put "kuru fasulye" in Turkey and its deliciouss!! Its basically cooked beans with meat but you should definitely try it! 💜
What kind of meat do you typically use?
@@toBe8ere usually lamb meat or beef is used in Turkey, but I prefer beef
Top tip for the canned sardines: If you don't like the fishy sardine smell, add tomatoes to the pot, then heat your canned sardines. Add lime juice, thai lemon basil right at the end. You're welcome.
Or simply saute it with garlic, chillies and onions. That's what we do in the Philippines. :)
@@averyjin9985 Indonesians agree with this one. Add ginger to eliminate fishy-ness.
yes sardines with lime are the best
That's how we do it in the Caribbean, we open out the sardine clean out the bones and scrape the skin then Sautee it with onions, garlic, cilantro and lime juice.
@@averyjin9985 add pechay (bok choy) or cabbage and water to turn it into a soup
