Magandang araw po!
皆さんこんにちは!
仕事でフィリピンの方々とお話をする
機会があるのですが、皆さん明るい!
笑顔が素敵で前向きで陽気な感じで
一緒に居るのが楽しい方々です。
フィリピンには行った事はありませんが
とても素敵な国なんだろうなと思います。
Hello everyone! I have the opportunity to talk with people from the Philippines for work, and everyone is so cheerful! Their smiles are lovely, and they have a positive and lively vibe. It's enjoyable to be around them. I haven't been to the Philippines, but I imagine it's a wonderful country.
Kamusta sa inyong lahat! May pagkakataon ako na makipag-usap sa mga tao mula sa Pilipinas para sa trabaho, at napakasaya ng lahat! Ang kanilang mga ngiti ay maganda, at mayroon silang positibong at masigla na vibe. Nakakatuwa na kasama sila. Hindi pa ako nakakarating sa Pilipinas, ngunit iniisip ko na ito ay isang magandang bansa.
Filipino snack! Chicharon
今回はフィリピンの名物お菓子!?
Chicharon! チチャロン?チッチャロン?
って、食べ物を頂いたので食レポ。
フィリピンの代表的な料理?お菓子だそうです。
豚の皮をカリカリに揚げたスナック菓子?
お酒のお供、おつまみ的に食べる事も。
フィリピン人の知人から頂いたのですが
見た事も聞いた事も無かったです。
久しぶりの初体験です!わくわく!
いざ!実食!
見た目は完全にカール的なスナック菓子。
あっ!日本国内で製造されてるんですね?
おおっ!凄い!タンパク質がメチャ多い!
脂質はスナック菓子としてなら普通ですね。
かなり優秀な数値でビックリ。
...うん!? アレッ!?
ワンコが激しく反応してます!
初物なんで怪しんでます😅
ちなみに...
フツーにAmazonで売ってるんですねー!

基本は「酢」ベースのソースをディップして
食べる事が多いらしいのですが...
...取りあえずそのまま食べてみます。
↓↓
↓↓
↓↓
...全く味がしません!?
成分を見てイイ感じの味を想像してましたが
ガーリックも豚肉も油も全く感じません。
例えるなら、カリッカリに揚げた油揚げ?
めっちゃ香ばしい!美味しいですよ!
でも...
確かに何かソースと一緒に食べるのが
前提なのが判る感じですね。
↓↓
↓↓
↓↓
肝心のディップソース。調べてみるとこんなのが
フィリピンだとメジャーらしいです。
Find Suka PHILIPPINES on Amazon
これも初めて見ました...
フィリピンのお酢ベースのソースですが
スパイスビネガーってモノらしいです。
suka(スーカ)って表すみたいなんですが
何となく日本語のお酢に発音が似てますね!
サトウキビ由来のお酢らしく酸味は弱めで
その中に唐辛子、にんにく、タマネギが
漬けこんであるらしいです。
なんだか美味しそう!
↓↓
↓↓
↓↓
残念ながらウチには無いので簡易的に
再現してみました。
お酢+おろしニンニク+鷹の爪です
じゃーん!サクッと完成!
↓↓
↓↓
↓↓
うんうん!結構合うと思いますよ。美味しい!
でも、ちょっとお酢の酸味が気になるので
味の素を追加して酸っぱさを緩和してみます。
うん?待てよ...
チチャロンは豚肉ですよね?
...って事は、豚肉のイノシン酸に
味の素のグルタミン酸が加わるので
旨味の相乗効果も狙えるかも!?
↓↓
↓↓
↓↓
メッチャ美味しい!!
旨味の相乗効果はさておき、強めの酸味が
緩和されてまろやかな口当たりに。
これは成功でしょう!
ワンコがめっちゃ欲しがるので
少しだけ食べさせました。
成分的にはニンニクがヤバそうですが
食べた感じでは殆ど感じないのでOK。
でも、少量が吉だと思います。
最後に
人生初の出来事や経験はいつも新鮮で
楽しくてエキサイティングですよね。
フィリピン人の知人に感謝です。
最後まで読んで頂き有難う御座いました。
フィリピン大好き!
Thank you for reading until the end.
I love the Philippines!
Maraming salamat sa pagbabasa hanggang sa dulo.
Mahal ko ang Pilipinas!

This time it’s a specialty dessert from the Philippines!?
Chicharon! Chicharon? Chitcharon?
So, I received some food, and here’s a food report.
It’s a representative dish or dessert from the Philippines.
A snack made by frying pig skin until crispy?
It can also be enjoyed as a drinking snack or appetizer.
I received it from a Filipino acquaintance, but
I had never seen or heard of it before.
It’s my first experience in a long time! Exciting!
Let’s go! Time to taste it!
It looks completely like a curly snack.
Oh! It’s manufactured in Japan?
Wow! Amazing! It’s packed with protein!
The fat content is normal for a snack.
Quite impressive nutritional values.
…Huh!? Oh no!
My dog is reacting strongly!
Since it’s my first time, I’m a bit suspicious 😅
By the way…
It’s actually sold on Amazon!
The basic way is to dip it in a “vinegar" based sauce
and apparently, that’s how it’s often eaten, but…
…For now, I’ll try eating it as it is.
↓↓
↓↓
↓↓
…It has no taste at all!?
Looking at the ingredients, I was expecting a good flavor,
but I don’t taste garlic, pork, or oil at all.
If I were to compare, it’s like crispy fried tofu?
Very fragrant! It’s delicious!
But…
Certainly, it seems like it’s meant to be eaten
with some kind of sauce.
↓↓
↓↓
↓↓
The crucial dip sauce. When I looked it up, it seems
this is popular in the Philippines.
I also saw it for the first time…
It’s a vinegar-based sauce from the Philippines,
apparently called spice vinegar.
It seems to be pronounced as “suka" in Japanese,
and it somewhat sounds like Japanese vinegar!
Derived from sugarcane, it has a mild acidity,
and it’s infused with chili, garlic, and onions.
It looks delicious somehow!
↓↓
↓↓
↓↓
Unfortunately, I don’t have it at home, so I improvised
and made a simple version.
Vinegar + grated garlic + red chili pepper
Ta-da! It’s done quickly!
↓↓
↓↓
↓↓
Yes, yes! I think it goes quite well. It’s delicious!
But, the acidity of the vinegar bothers me a bit,
so I’ll add some MSG to mitigate the sourness.
Huh? Wait a minute…
Chicharon is made from pork, right?
…In that case, with the inosinic acid in pork,
and the glutamic acid in MSG added,
you might get a synergistic umami effect!?
↓↓
↓↓
↓↓
It’s incredibly delicious!!
Setting aside the synergistic umami effect,
the strong acidity is mitigated, creating a mellow taste.
This is a success!
My dog really wants it,
so I gave him a little.
In terms of ingredients, garlic seems intense,
but I hardly felt it when eating, so it’s okay.
But, I think a small amount is best.
Finally,
Life’s first events and experiences are always fresh,
fun, and exciting.
Thanks to my Filipino acquaintance.
Sa pagkakataong ito, ito ay isang espesyal na panghimagas mula sa Pilipinas!
Chicharon! Chicharon? Chitcharon?
Kaya, natanggap ko ang ilang pagkain, at narito ang isang ulat sa pagkain.
Ito ay isang kinikilalang lutuin o panghimagas mula sa Pilipinas.
Isang meryendang gawa sa pagprito ng balat ng baboy hanggang maging malutong?
Maari rin itong tamasahin bilang meryendang inumin o appetizer.
Nakuha ko ito mula sa isang kakilalang Pilipino, pero
Hindi ko pa ito nakita o narinig dati.
Ito ang aking unang karanasan sa matagal na panahon! Nakakaexcite!
Sige! Oras na para tikman ito!
Tingin ko’y parang kurbadang meryenda.
Oh! Gawa ito sa Hapon?
Wow! Kakaiba! Puno ito ng protina!
Ang nilalaman ng taba ay normal para sa isang meryenda.
Nakakabilib na mga nutritional values.
…Ha!? Ay, hindi!
Ang aking aso ay sobrang nagre-react!
Dahil ito’y unang beses ko, medyo may suspetsa ako 😅
Sa kabilang banda…
Ito’y aktwal na ibinebenta sa Amazon!
Ang pangunahing paraan ay ilublob ito sa “suka" based na sawsawan
at tila ganoon ito madalas kinakain, pero…
…Muna, susubukan ko itong kainin nang ganun na lang.
↓↓
↓↓
↓↓
…Wala itong lasa!?
Sa pagtingin ko sa mga sangkap, inaasahan ko ang masarap na lasa,
pero hindi ko nararamdaman ang bawang, baboy, o langis sa lahat.
Kung ihahambing ko, parang pritong tokwa na malutong?
Sobrang mabango! Masarap!
Pero…
Tiyak, tila dapat itong kainin
kasama ang isang uri ng sawsawan.
↓↓
↓↓
↓↓
Ang mahalagang sawsawan. Sa pagsaliksik ko, tila
ito’y kilala sa Pilipinas.
Nakita ko rin ito sa unang pagkakataon…
Ito ay isang sawsawang batay sa suka mula sa Pilipinas,
tila tinatawag na spice vinegar.
Parang binibigkas ito na “suka" sa Hapon,
at tila may kahalintulad na tunog sa suka sa Hapon!
Galing ito sa tubo, may mahinang asim,
at may kasamang sili, bawang, at sibuyas.
Tila masarap ito sa kahit anong paraan!
↓↓
↓↓
↓↓
Sa kasamaang palad, wala ito sa bahay, kaya’t nag-imbento ako
at gumawa ng simpleng bersyon.
Suka + ginadgad na bawang + pulang siling labuyo
Ta-da! Mabilis na tapos!
↓↓
↓↓
↓↓
Oo, oo! Sa tingin ko, okay naman. Masarap!
Pero, medyo nakakabother ang asim ng suka,
kaya idadagdag ko ang kaunting MSG para mabawasan ito.
Ha? Sandali…
Ang Chicharon ay gawa sa baboy, di ba?
…Kung ganun, may inosinic acid sa baboy,
at may glutamic acid sa MSG na idinagdag,
maaring magkaruon ito ng synergistic na umami effect!?
↓↓
↓↓
↓↓
Napakasarap!!
Itabi na ang synergistic na umami effect,
naibsan ang malakas na asim, nagiging malumanay ang lasa.
Ito ay isang tagumpay!
Gusto ito ng aking aso,
kaya’t binigyan ko siya ng konti.
Sa mga sangkap, mukhang mabigat ang bawang,
pero halos di ko ito ramdam habang kumakain, kaya okay.
Pero, sa tingin ko, ang kaunti ay angkop.
Sa wakas,
Ang mga pangyayari at karanasang unang nangyayari sa buhay ay laging bago,
masaya, at nakaka-excite.
Salamat sa aking kaalikabokong kaibigan na Pilipino.
