    BINATOG

    THE ART OF BINATOG

    BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

    Bualaw also known Binatog as is a common street

    food found in the Phillpipines. It is usually being sold by

    street vendors roaming house to house with their bikes.

    Way back in the past, venodors of binatog carries bilao or

    winnowing baskets on top of their heads rather than using

    bicycles. Binatog is made from boiled corn kernels with

    grated coconuts on top. They boil binatog not because for

    cooking purposes only but for the skin of the corn to be removed easily.

    Some uses “Apog” to make the skin softer. But the downside is that it affects the flavor of

    the binatog due to its strong smell and taste. Others add condense milk, margarine, salt or sugar to

    make it more delicious. Buyers usually shout “Binatooooooooooog!” when they see vendors

    outside to buy binatog, this process is a tradition to Filipinos. The vendors already have plastic

    cups and spoon with them in selling binatog so you won’t have to worry about it especially when

    you are outside and planning to buy binatog. Also, binatog is one of

    the most favored street food here in the Philippines commonly sold in

    the Northern Philippines. The vendors known also as magbibinatog

    carrying characteristics large tin cans, similar to taho.

    Binatog come from the regions of the country where the corn is
    abundant. Perhaps from the Luzon especially in Northern provinces.
    RELATED STUDY TAHO.

    We all know that “TAHO” is one of the street food here in Philippines and many Filipinos

    considered it a good breakfast option. It is related to binatog

    because they are bought in the streets and it also be satisfying

    because of its price just like binatog. Taho is composed of tofu,

    brown sugar syrup, and sago pearls. Fresh, silken tofu is the

    preferred base, its texture similar to that of a very fine panna cotta.

    The soybean custard is then dressed with arnibal, which is brown

    sugar that’s been caramelized into a syrup and sometimes flavored with vanilla. Heaping spoonfuls

    of translucent, gummy sago pearls crown each serving, though customers can also opt to leave

    them out.

    Mexican corn salad. There have been similarities between

    the dish from Mexico and the dish here in the Philippines which is

    the binatog. Both are cooked in in the same way but the Mexican

    salad has other ingredients like carrots, olives and more. Both are

    also sold in the streets.


    PROCESS

    The binatog ingredients are 1 can (24 ounce) white hominy, 3/2 tablespoons salted butter

    melted, 3 tablespoons grated coconut, 3 teaspoon sugar. After these, we need to follow a procedure

    in order to make a binatog. First, in a shallow pot, boil hominy with liquid from can and 1 cup of

    water for about 10-15 minutes (until kernels burst open). Second, if you are going to use dried

    hominy, soak dried kernels overnight in water. Rinse, place in a pot and cover with water. Simmer

    for a few hours until kernels burst open. Third, drain the water and place the boiled hominy in a

    serving dish/bowl. Last, add the melted butter and stir. Tap with grated coconut and salt. This is

    a snack for Filipinos, they usually sell binatog at 3:00 in the afternoon. This helps to lessen the

    hunger of people for a bit. Besides from its delicious sweet taste, it also creates a simple “salo-

    salo” to have a bonding time together with your friends and families.

    CONTRIBUTION

    The binatog the ingredients is easy to find it is cheap and delicious. Easy to cook and the

    way it cooks is not complicated. It is a popular street food in Philippines, Can be bought easily.

    The disadvantages of binatog is not good for the people who are diabetic, and binatog can be

    easily contaminated to exposure and can be spoiled easily.
