Just Eat Life my father is Chilean, when i was a kid he used to do a dish called "Seviche", It was delicious, and i took 10 years to figure it out that It was made with raw fish, because the assembly and seasonings was so good and strong that hidens the fish flavor
I was born in the Philippines but I immigrated to America when I was four years old. :D I miss Filipino food and I often watch Filipino food recipes to satisfy my cravings for comfort food.
I'm from New York and of Irish/German decent. This isn't an abomination because corned beef and cabbage has always been a dish of cultural diffusion and immigrant groups sharing ideas. The corned beef in the recipe was originally a bacon product when made in Ireland. In New York City, Irish immigrants borrowed the idea of corned beef from their Eastern European Jewish neighbors because it was affordable and readily available. So here's to cultural diversity, especially in this crazy city of ours. We aren't a melting pot, we're a mixed salad!
Fantastic comment! Thanks very much for adding to the immigrant story. I knew about the Jewish food connection and really appreciate you mentioning it. #weareallricherwhenweshare
As an Irish person I can confirm this. We ( being everyone I know ) never use beef but a gammon joint which when boiled with cabbage becomes really salty. It's such a great simple recipe
Wee its Nilaga! Not an immigrant but I am from a mixed family. Born in Libya to a Filipino mom and a Swiss dad. Schooled in the Philippines. Ended up working in Saudi Arabia and I am now here in the UK. Yey to mixed cultures!
I was so confused in the beginning when you said corned beef, cabbage and fish sauce, but then in the end, it occurred to me-it's a variation on nilaga! Nilaga literally means "boiled" along with cabbage, carrots and onions. She just used a different cut of meat. This is definition of Filipino comfort food to me :') sometimes we vary the veggies with bok choy instead of cabbage (depends on what's in the fridge!), add in corn and even banana plantain (Saba), try it out!
I was born in the Philippines, but moved to Houston, TX as a munchkin. Houston is easily one of the most diverse city in America. I grew up trading lumpia for deliciousness from my Nigerian neighbors on one side and Vietnamese neighbors on the other. I feel so grateful growing up feeling like this is the norm.- that differences were a part of what made things beautiful-- and delicious! Thanks for sharing your story!!
What a touching story, Jen! I love how your parents tried their best to integrate in the American culture while still preserving their own. I just moved here from the Philippines myself recently and I love my new country as much as I love the Philippines!
Yay to "Nilagang Corned Beef" ! It's 1am here in PH and now I'm hungry! LOL Cheers to you, Jen, Leo, and Just Eat Life (Been a subscriber since cook 'n chat days) :) !
I don't eat meat, but this brings back lots of memories. My grandmother was what was called a kibei, a Japanese-American educated in Japan. She lived her adult life in Hawaii and then California. She used to cook corned beef and cabbage all the time when I was little. She also used to take us to an Irish restaurant, so she could get her favorite dish with homemade soda bread. Here's to cultural mash-ups and honoring diversity! Itadakimasu.
Even though I don’t know your Mom, I love her. Anyone that comes into America (or any other country) and WANTS to learn and put into action that country’s culture is absolutely wonderful as far as I’m concerned. Tell your Mom I think she’s 100% a hero.
Love your positivity and energy Jen. My parents migrated here from Cambodia. They lived in Thailand (which is where I was born) and also the Philippines in a refugee camp before coming to America. They wanted a future for my siblings and I (5 children) and have always been a proud American without losing their traditions. They never forgot their roots and at the same time celebrated the American culture. My parents are grateful for the opportunity that was given to them here.
Jen, this was your first video that not only made me smile and laugh, but made me teary. Im a first gen immigrant from the Philippines and I know the struggles of living and adapting to a new culture in the beginning, but your mom and dad raised you so well, in the best that they could, and you are a glowing representation of their love and hard work to make a better life for you all! Thank you for sharing your family's immigrant story! And i love corned beef too and maybe next time ill try it with kanin and patis!
OH I LOVE THIS! Your parents sound amazing. My dad is English, and my mum is Filipino/Spanish/Chinese but I’m born and bred in Australia. This corned beef is something she learned to make for my dad and feed the fam. We always had white sauce with ours as well, but we had dat rice! Rice at every meal! I’ve understood more in adulthood how lucky I am to have had such a mixed cultural background because it exposed my palette to so much more at a younger age (grew up in the suburbs in Australia, not many ‘ethnics’ or ‘asians’ 😄) whilst still celebrating local ‘culture’ (just BBQ everything) 😘
You're so amazing, Jen! I love watching your videos because you're one of the first Asian Americans to be featured on a social media cooking channel, and as a cook and the daughter of a Filipina immigrant, it means so much to me to see other Asian Americans succeed! Also, shout out to my fellow Filipino Irish bbs!
There is no end to how much I love this channel and video! As a first time watcher, I am so pleased to have discovered this! I am loving the wit, improvisation, cultural appreciation, colorful language, and FUN you're having! Subscribed. Easiest thing I did all week.
"If you ever boiled cabbage in your house, you know it's a little bit like fart".....so true!! LOL. Can't wait to try this. Great video Jen and Leo. Happy St Patrick's Day! BTW how does the grass look. LOL
I love your family story. My wife is Filipina. I can totally get the fish sauce now that I'm use to cooking Asian foods. We are cooking corned beef and cabbage, black eyed peas with whole baby okra on top corn bread and ube pie for desert. If you like your cabbage alittle spicey and Cajun I put like 1/2 teaspoon of liquid crab boil in my water right at the beginning.
My mom and dad immigrated to the US from the Philippines, and my mom would serve corned beef just like your mom did and how you did in this video (with white rice and patis). So wonderful to hear your family's story and see your version of St. Patty's dinner! Love your channel; it really reminds me that food brings us all together. Pinays unite! XD
I loved this guys! I come from a Mexican house hold. Surrounded by delicious food. But i was raised to explore and be open minded to what other cultures have to offer. I have a love for food and creating dishes, and learning dishes from everywhere! Im proud to be Mexican and proud to say i love varieties and not just stick to your confort zone! But letting my pallet discover new tastes and creating them! (Married to a Honduran so currently learning about his food) 💙💙💙 keep inspiring! 😘 besos!
Uhhh I love you sooo much Jen you're soo amazing and funny and inspirational. I used to suck at cooking and you've taught me everything I know lol. I am Brazilian Cuban and Italian and my parents came to this country to give me a better future and food was our little getaway to my roots. I think food is a getaway to any country and it's beautiful. Thank you❤
Old style Japanese Americans don't use the fish sauce, but it's pretty similar to this. We do the plate, or the bowl. Sometimes a little wet, sometimes a soup. Of course, rice with it. I didn't realize it was a widespread recipe until I saw people sharing their photos. It was mostly soup with slices of beef.
We cook our corned beef with guinness in a crock pot. And we serve it with mustard. Soooo good. My family is mostly Irish and Scottish, but I was raised with my Italian family.
Thanks Jen! I love the story as a fellow Filipino the soup,rice,cabbage already sounds like comfort food. My uncle has a Patis company in the Philippines. This video certainly hit the heart strings.
Love the video guys !!! ❤️ You guys & Julie are the main reason why I watch Tastemade 😩 wish i could eat all the food you make ! Have a great day from the Bay Area,CA ❤️❤️
great story! as New Yorkers we have the best food in the world because of our diversity the combination of cultures are endless which makes our food just fabulous I'man African American from Manhattan LES who can cook Thai Chinese Japanese Hispanic Jewish and of course the usual suspects fried chicken collard greens mac and cheese potato salad I love that food crosses every barrier and creates communication I love it
"if you've ever boiled cabbage in your house it smells like fart, but it tastes delicious!" Best food video quote ever! The 1st part of the vid was fantastic with your backstory! Your dad clearly started the "repurpose revolution" with the car seat sofa, thanks Jen's Dad. Leo as a "somewhere down the line Irish/English/whoknowswhat American myself" I can't thank you enough for the potatoes. And also Jen I guess your Mother served with rice because like many people all over the world she treated Leo's potatoes as a vegetable primarily rather than a starch. Isn't that why we see potatoes in some types of tacos? One of your best videos ever! You guys are amazing! #gushing #fart
I'm here from Snapchat and I love the taste made videos from you! OML you bring a big ass smile on my face, my new favorite cooker. And also I'm a Peruvian-American so like yeah thanks for the compliment/fact.
Next time you cook the corned beef and cabbage consider chopping up some carrots, celery, and onions (large rough chops) and throw those in also, absolutely wonderful!
LOL. This was an AWESOME video. Love love loved it. Laughed and smiled through the entire vid. Not sure who your cameraman was but he should not have stopped you singing, it was great!! Thank you for taking time to film and post. Great video and will try my corned beef with rice this year. Be blessed!
I love your cultured knowledge and love of others. It goes to show you life can be so much more fulfilling if you just open up your mind and heart to others and what they have to offer. We are all the same. Love your videos. Stay blessed 🙏🏼
1:17 ...with rice, AND fish sauce? 😃 I'm IN! I was SOLD 3:30 when you said slow cooker (crockpot)! This looks SO EASY even I can do it! Jen, you are Magical! 💚❤️
Looks delicious I can’t wait to try it cooked like this! I usually bake my corned beef brisket in the oven with fried cabbage and candied yams! One of my Sons would request it every year as his birthday meal!
I love your videos, your personality and that you have a peruvian boyfriend because I'm from Panama and it's nice to know that you know about latin american food and people. :)
My Filipino Mom and Grandma do the exact same thing with corn beef and cabbage! And I'm half Irish and half Filipino so I have my half and half St. Patricks day meal
It's amazing how you have associated this dish with your family! Ever since I was a child, my lola (grandmother) would always cook this dish for lunch on Sundays since it's the only day of the week when our family is complete. She also adds bananas (semi-ripe "saba" variety) which adds a nice subtle sweetness to the broth. I really liked this video, keep it up! :) Hugs from Batangas! ❤️
Ooh corned beef with fish sauce and rice sounds so delicious!! My mother's Filipino coworkers had the same thing when an Irish doctor I think bought Irish corned beef and boy those not of Filipino blood had quite the culture shock!!
I am a new subscriber and I have truly enjoyed your videos. Something different everyone seems to be mukbanging the same things. Your channel is refreshing 😊👍
My mom made this with canned corned beef. ya'll know the kind: lose the key to the can, you're screwed. Still came out amazing. And of course, lots of patis and and rice.
Lol you two are so funny! And omg this meal looks like such perfect comfort food. I'm also a child of immigrants from Queens woot woot! :) My parents came from Ethiopia in the late 80s/early90s & I'm also familiar with the slightly tweaked version of American dishes haha. From another Queens kid to another, if y'all ever do an NYC/Queens meet up I'd love to come!
From someone who lives in the Philippines, I was confused by the title, but here in the Philippines, we do eat corned beef, but the canned one and the kind that is pulled not like this meatloaf, with cabbage, but it is sauteed with strips of cabbage and some potato, some has a shallow broth, and some don't.
It's Nilaga!!! My family's version has corn, petchay, chayote, saging na saba (a type of banana/plantain), kamote (sweet potatoes) along with the cabbage and potatoes. We also add the bony parts of the beef/pork, making the broth so amazing. Eat that with white rice and patis (fish sauce) with a lot of sili (bird eye chili) and you'll be in heaven. (Actually just had this for lunch 😆)
Jen! Nice done again. You look so much like your mother. When I lived in the Philippines canned corned beef was a popular thing, always with rice. Really enjoy your videos. blessings ChefMike
We have this kind of recipe in philippines called nilagang baka or bulalo. We only use a different kind of beef. And instead of carrots we use corn and bell pepper. This is so salivating. Thank you for doing this ms.Jen I've learned a lot from you. I also love thai food. And your channel. Haha 😊 god bless you always.
Makes sense to add rice for bulk and fish sauce for flavor. This dish is known to be very bland, Puertorican style would be to add sazon and sofrito into the slow cooker along with the water.
I'm Filipino and I was born in the Philippines but was raised in the United States. My mom learned to cook a lot of stuff and this combination is one she made for me and she also incorporated the fish sauce and white rice. It is an awesome combination! ^_^
Share your immigrant stories with us! We'd love to learn more about you and your tasty roots :)

That looks delicious, but your story makes this video perfect. Now I have to find some corned beef so I can make this!
Yes!! I hope you can try this soon! Thank you so much for watching.

Lmao I'm half Filipino and my mom would make corned beef for St. Paddy's day also. I never questioned eating it with rice 😂

That's exactly what my dad did!! He made the corn beef and we can eat it with the rice or as a sandwich with cilantro, basil scallion and lettuce!

I love your story, you are one of my favorite people in this world. Thank you for giving us all the smiles!
Looks delicious I can’t wait to try it cooked like this! I usually bake my corned beef brisket in the oven with fried cabbage and candied yams!

Amazing story! Love you!!

My mom made this with canned corned beef. ya'll know the kind: lose the key to the can, you're screwed. Still came out amazing. And of course, lots of patis and and rice.
I love her vibrant personality! Subscribed!
Lol you two are so funny! And omg this meal looks like such perfect comfort food. I'm also a child of immigrants from Queens woot woot! :) My parents came from Ethiopia in the late 80s/early90s & I'm also familiar with the slightly tweaked version of American dishes haha. From another Queens kid to another, if y'all ever do an NYC/Queens meet up I'd love to come!
I put fish sauce in almost every dish I cook even with western style recipes. I like the flavour it gives other than the saltiness.
Hey Jen, daughter of Chinese & Burmese Chinese immigrants here, also from Queens! I'd love to see you make a Burmese dish some time :)
We had rice with corned beef and cabbage too! No weird faces here! 😍
The intro! 😭😭😭 this made me so proud to be he son of an immigrant. This video is amazing
That is a sweet story and what America is all about :)
Jen!! You're crushing it on that photo with the american flag! Truely beautiful and soooooo talented :) Great message you're sending out
From someone who lives in the Philippines, I was confused by the title, but here in the Philippines, we do eat corned beef, but the canned one and the kind that is pulled not like this meatloaf, with cabbage, but it is sauteed with strips of cabbage and some potato, some has a shallow broth, and some don't.
I do it too I eat rice with fish sauce too.I am Cambodian and I have husband Irish.
this video is so genuine and cute. love you guys so much. 10/10 cute!
It's Nilaga!!! My family's version has corn, petchay, chayote, saging na saba (a type of banana/plantain), kamote (sweet potatoes) along with the cabbage and potatoes.

This looks fabulous. Definitely going to make this!
Yes! Food is about culture and sharing. I love your family story. Had me tearing up...
I had a van seat from out on the street as a couch, too! It was metallic red vinyl :) Miss those Brooklyn days. That corned beef looks amazing!
Looove her energy
Patis goes really well with clear broth.
YUMMMM. This made me miss my dad's cooking. I'm gonna make this!!!!!
You are such a good host! Love your videos!
I love patis. I never thought to have it with corned beef. I'm doing it this year!
love corned beef and cabbage....who knew boiled beef is sooooo good
I love your immigrant story
We have this kind of recipe in philippines called nilagang baka or bulalo. We only use a different kind of beef. And instead of carrots we use corn and bell pepper. This is so salivating. Thank you for doing this ms.Jen I've learned a lot from you. I also love thai food. And your channel. Haha 😊 god bless you always.
My first time coming across your channel and I already love you. #suscribed #lovelystory 💕
Ay, half Rican half Cuban here and it wasn't until high school that I even saw corned beef not with white rice. 🤣🤷🏽it's what we do. Arroz con todo.
Makes sense to add rice for bulk and fish sauce for flavor. This dish is known to be very bland, Puertorican style would be to add sazon and sofrito into the slow cooker along with the water.
jen it looks like nilaga.. a filipino food where in the pork/beef is boiled with several veggies cabbage, potato, chinese cabbage etc.
Love you & your videos Jen!! They always make my day so much better! And yes for dat International pride!!!!
I'm Filipino and I was born in the Philippines but was raised in the United States. My mom learned to cook a lot of stuff and this combination is one she made for me and she also incorporated the fish sauce and white rice. It is an awesome combination! ^_^
Oh! It's like "Nilaga"! I love it!!!
