Hello, friends! Danika and I are here again. She loves to be on the videos. Danika and I are here again to show you guys a Filipino traditional recipe and it is called Ubi Halaya. Purple Yem is very common in the Philippines and we use a lot of it for our desserts. So this recipe calls for evaporated milk, coconut milk, condensed milk, butter, sugar, and then I am using just one package of the grated yam. You can buy this at the Asian market into the freezer section along with all the Filipino products. You could also buy it if it is available in your area of fresh yams that you boil and then you peel and then you mush it down just like how they had it here and you add it on to the pot. And then the pot that you are going to need for this particular recipe is a non-stick pot. So I have this wok and then also a wooden spoon. This recipe calls for a lot of stirring. You don't want to just leave it into the flame unattended because then it will easily burn. You got to constantly stir it. Alright, I went ahead and melted my butter just a little bit so it is easier to melt onto the pot and then also sliced it a bit because it was fresh out of the refrigerator. Alright, now that the butter is melted, I went ahead and added the package of grated ube or grated purple yam and go ahead and break that down and let the butter and the yam absorb together. Alright, once the butter and the grated yam has been incorporated, I am going to go ahead and add my one can of evaporated milk. Half a can of coconut milk, make sure that you shake it really well and then the condensed milk. Mix that well and again it is on medium low heat. Now the recipe calls for half a cup of sugar but I am going to go ahead and just put in a quarter of a cup because we are putting the condensed milk in there and you basically just want to flavor it to taste. Now this is Lala's recipe for Ube Hala Yam and Lala always makes amazing Filipino dishes. I am going to go ahead and keep stirring this medium low heat until it starts to thicken. I don't know if you guys can see the nice purple color. That's from the Ube, the purple yam. Okay, hold on and film me. Okay, just, and then constantly stir it because it is starting to really thicken up. This is why it is best to work with a non-stick pan and a wooden spoon. I am just going to wait until it gets really nice and thick so just constantly stir it. Alright, it has been an hour and you know it is almost done when it is reduced in size, more like a big purple blob. And also when you scoop it like this, it is slowly going back into the pan. The reason that it is slowly going back from is because I have a wok but if you have a straight flat pan, then it should just go back very slowly. So this is maybe like another 15 more minutes and then it will be cooked. Alright, I went ahead and turned off the stove. It is cooked. I have been cooking it for an hour and 15 minutes and you can tell it is cooked because it is thickened and also there is a lot of resistance. Alright, friends, I wanted to bring it out here into the light. My stove area is really dark. So I wanted to show you guys the true color to the light. See that? Very nice in color. Like I said, you know it is cooked when it just comes together easily and then it is slowly pulling apart. I also forgot to mention that I went ahead and buttered the dish so it does not stick on to the dish when you remove it. So you want to put it into like a mold. So you want to find a dish that is like the right size. So if you choose to unmold it, then it is nice and pretty. I am going to go ahead and just let this sit until it is nice and cool and then cover it and it should be good for a couple of days in the refrigerator. Delicious. It is actually perfect and that was perfect. Nice and creamy. It is perfect for halo halo. Perfect just as is. Perfect as an added flavoring to a lot of ube recipes and overall a great Filipino dessert. I hope you guys enjoyed the simple recipe of ube halaya, a very favorite Filipino dessert.
