I was teaching cooking terms and techniques to my grade six home economics class and my stomach grumbling especially with graphic pictures of yummy food flashing on the screen. I asked my pupils if they were beginning to feel hunger pang and they shouted, "Yes, sir!"
Anyway, I am sharing some of the Filipino cooking terms and style of cooking for those who are interested: (Please forgive my translation I lack the culinary vocabulary to accurately translate these things and this may make some of the translations sound unpalatable.)
1. Banlian—this style of cooking is taught best in the Philippine National Police Academy. This is done by throwing scalding hot water on foodstuff, suspects and prisoners.
2. Malasaduhin—halfhearted cooking.
3. Salagapan—removing the scum formed when cooking or boiling meat (or other stuffs like sugar or soy).
4. Kadluin—slowly stirring while cooking to prevent coagulation.
5. Atay-atay na pagpapakulo—slowly and painfully boiling the meat, chicken and other food stuff until they lost their spirit and essence.
6. Sangkutsahin--to boil in salt. This is a traditional way of preserving meat before the invention of the ref. Some senators are good at this, cooking resource persons.
7. Pinagmamantika—to heat until the oils are extracted. Also, to dehydrate the meat.
8. Tunawin—to melt in heat. The AFP is good at this, they melt documents.
9. Pasingawan—to steambath the food.
10. Pakuluan—is to boil foodstuffs. It could also mean political cooking.
If you're wondering why a guy like me is teaching home economics, don't. Some of the teachers are making fun of my subjects, to tell the truth I am enjoying them because they are not that stressful to teach.
I am excited about the practicum. I'm going to make my pupils cook delicious food. I hope.
