When we cook this we just put everything in one pot. Saves dishes and prep. Of course you add the squash and other veggies a bit later so they don't get mushy. We cook this with lots of water too, it's more soupy than saucy. When cooked this way you can taste the dish as a single item instead of multiple. Some of the squash gets mushed when cooking and adds nice flavor to the soup.

POV: You're looking for people raging about the crab being cooked alive.

BIG mistake. You do NOT put the crab in live in hot water. It makes the meat taste bitter. It is important to paralyse it in cold water or to freeze for a few hours before cooking.

This is restaurant style. The traditional Filipino way is you put the squash, beans and crabs and let it all simmer in a pot and I'm tellin ya it's the perfect sauce to a bowl of steamed white rice. Nothing beats that creamy white coconut sauce infused with all the flavors of crab fat, fermented shrimp paste, garlic, onions, chilis and ginger. So good!

My fave filipino dish ❤

This looks yummy! 💕💕💕

I love ginataang alimango! It’s the crab fat that makes the dish special. Dungeness crab is delicious but it’s not like the giant mud crabs in the Philippines. I’m happy to see Filipino cooking in BA.

oh schuuuckkksss my faveeeeeeeee😍😭 im drooling yo

More Melissa please!!

First new BA video I’ve watched and I didn’t hate it

salamat tita !! gusto ko kumakain anginataang mo

So hard to find malunggay/moringa in the Midwest. Love ginataan dishes. Even just with calabaza and long beans.

I still haven't seen fresh moringa/malunggay/kamunggay on the East Coast. Outside of my visit to Cebu, I've only seen it pop up in West Coast cooking videos, this one and Kenji Lopez-Alt's. Also, moringa is a superfood too. My dad has it growing in his backyard in Cebu and they use it for soups.

This dish is really prepared without much prep. Put all together in one pot with the veggies added a little later to prevent being mushy.

I like her.

That coconut crab looks amazing! I want it all, who cares if it's *a little shellfish!*

DROOLING this is the taste of my childhood as well

It's sad that half of me watches BA videos just to see how toxic the comment sections are, because the recipes look and sound amazing (especially this one since I love freshly cooked crab whenever I can have it), and the new hosts aren't bad either. The editing is still kinda iffy compared to the old days, but I think it's gotten better in the past few videos. Hopefully, the Negative Nancys will either give BA a second chance, or move on to whine about something else.
