YAMIROO & MATH

RELATIONSHIPNow that Christmas season is definitely few days away from now, different traditional food are being sold and prepared around the streets and in our own home. Since Filipinos are known to be one of the few people to celebrate Christ-mas season the longest, different seasonal food stalls are being built as early as “ber” months start. But before all the cooking and preparations that people need to do to achieve the best Noche Buena this Cristmas Season, they need break a leg and do some computations, calculations, and even conversions. Basically, they need Math to ensure that the food that will be serve in their dining tables are worth the budget and at the same time delightful.

Math is the backbone of almost all fields of study such as cooking. From the measurements of the ingreadients down to every detail of the recipe needs to be exact and precised. The size, amount, and number of servings of the food that one wishes to serve must be proportional to the measurements of ingredients used. A decrease or increase in the amount of one ingredient is a decrease or increase of all other ingredients that will directly af-fect the size and amount of food to be served. Follow the indicat-ed measurement to achieve the best homemade desserts or dish this coming Noche Buena! These numbers and measurements indicated are necessary to achieve the desired finish product that one wants. It must not be ignored. Furthermore, following these will give a proportional and balanced taste of the flavors. Making a minimal error in the measurements, just as how one makes a minimal error in math solution, problem solving and equations, there will be an evident change and inconsistency to the result. Moreover, Math is also needed for recipes that uses oven, for there are instances that the units and measurement in home ov-ens differ from the units and measurements that are indicated in the instructions. For ovens with Degrees Celsius as temperature, conversion is needed. 1 Degree Celcius is to 33.8 Fahrenheit as to 1 Fahrenheit is to -17.2222 Degrees Celcius. Conversion can also be applied for measurements such as cups to grams, pounds to kilograms, ounce to liters, and such.

DID YOU KNOW..

EASY STEPS!1. Get a mixing bowl and combine the 2 pounds sliced pork, ½ cup soy sauce, ½ cup banana ketchup, squeezed lemon juice, 3 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground black pepper, 2 teaspoons salt and 8 cloves of chopped garlic.

Remember for every 5 kg of pork, 80 sticks can be made. So for a kilo of pork, 16 sticks can be made. To be able to know the exact measurement of spices to adjust to the quantity of pork, put the ingredients into ratio, e.g:

1 kg pork 0.5 cup soy sauce --------- = ------------------------- X kg pork x cup soy sauceAlso, you can estimate the number of sticks using the ratio, and with the given kg of pork available. 1 kg pork 16 sticks ------------ = ------------ x kg pork n sticks

Substitute for x the kilogram of pork available. It is like finding the un-known in linear equations. [Cross multiplication applies]

2. Using your 2 hands, mix all the ingredients together and make sure the pork get evenly mixed with all the ingredients for rich flavor.

3. Marinate the pork overnight so that the pork thoroughly absorbs the flavor.

4. After marinating the 2 pounds pork, skewer the sliced pork in the bam-boo sticks. (number of sliced pork in a bamboo stick depends on you; 4-5 preferably)

5. After skewering all the sliced pork, you can now begin grilling it.

6. Using the excess or extra marinade, apply it on the bbq while grilling each side of it for it to be tastier.

7. Once everything is cooked, get a big plate and you are now ready to serve it!

Don’t expose your-self too much in the sun because it can lead to sunburn and worse is skin cancer!

A mango a day can keep the dermatolo-gist away? Well now you know! Thank you!

BUT!

DID YOU KNOW..

EASY STEPS!1. In one pot, boil the 1 pack elbow macaroni until cooked and rinse under cold water for it to cool. Let it rest and set aside for a few minutes.

2. In a separate pot, boil the 1 pound boneless and skinless chicken after which rinse under cold water for it to cool and shred into small chunks afterwards.

3. Get a big bowl then mix the cooked elbow macaroni and chicken togeth-er.

4. After which, add the ½ cup diced carrots, ½ cup chopped celery, ½ cup chopped red onions in the bowl which will add crunch to the macaroni salad.

5. Add then the 1 canned pineapple which will add flavor to the dessert

6. Add then the 1 ½ - 2 cups mayonnaise , ½ cup condensed milk, ¾ tea-spoon salt and ¾ teaspoon pepper.

7. After all the ingredients have been added to the bowl, mix it all together.

8. As for the final touch, add 1 tablespoon parsley in the middle for design.

9. Put everything in a nice bowl and serve it to the whole family!

Following these procedures and measurements will give you the perfect macaroni salad that will satisfy your cravings this Christmas season!

TO DETERMINE THE NUMBER OF SERVINGS, it can be computed by: Since one pack of elbow macaroni (450 g) can serve 10 peo-ple as 45 g/person, it can be calculated as 45 multiplied by the number of people desired to be accomodated. Let’s say for 5 people, 45 multiplied by 5 = 225 g, which means you’ll need half of the pack for your salad.

MATH PUTS M IN

MACARONI SALADThinking to give macaroni salads as gifts for you relatives and families? You will surely need more than 1 pound of chicken. If you have a whole frozen chicken stored in your freezer (approxi-mately 2.5 pounds in weight), how much time do you need to defrost the chicken and get the moist and juicy meat that you desire to have?

What we know:-The frozen chicken weighs 2.5 pounds-In order to perfectly defrost any meat such as turkey or chicken, for 5 pounds of meat, it needs to be taken out from the freezer at least 1 day or 24 hours. -Proportion is needed!

How to solve:Weight and Time is DIRECTLY proportion to each other, it means the heavier the meat is, the longer time to defrost therefore:

Cross multiply: 5 times x = 2.5 times 24

: 5x = 60

Divide both sides by x: x = 60/5

Time it takes to fully defrost the chicken: 12

It takes 12 hours to fully defrost a chicken in room temperature.

You can now prepare a delightful macaroni salad with fresh and juicy chicken meat!

ALSO!

Take out a few of the best-looking strawberries and set them aside for the garnish. Hull the re-mainder of the strawberries and cut each berry into thin slices.

With a hand mixer or in the bowl of a stand mixer, whip 3 1/2 cups of cream until it just holds stiff peaks. Add the confectioners sugar, vanilla, and rosewater (if using) and whip to combine.

Spread a small spoonful of whipped cream on the bottom of a 9 x 13-inch baking pan, or a similarly-sized platter. Lay down six graham crackers. Lightly cover the top of the graham crackers with more whipped cream, and then a single layer of strawberries. Repeat three times, until you have four layers of graham crackers. Spread the last of the whipped cream over the top and swirl it lightly with a spoon. Add a few more strawberries.

To make the ganache, heat the remaining 1/4 cup cream until bubbles form around the edg-es, then pour over the chopped chocolate. Let it stand for a few minutes, then whisk until the mixture is thick and glossy. Drizzle this over the layered dessert with a spoon, or transfer to a squeeze bottle and use that to drizzle.

USE MATH IN MAKING THE

GRAHAM CAKEMath can help you solve things

even in making a cake!

HOW WILL YOU KNOW the number of graham crackers needed for you graham float? Everything depends on the container that a person will use. Every cracker that one needs is directly proportion to how big the polygon container that he/she will use.

FOR GRAHAM CRACKERS like these, how will one know that number of square grahams to be used in a 12 by 8 inches container? (knowing that a square graham cracker measures 2 by 2 inches)

Here is an easy math technique for you to use!

12 inches by 8 inches is measurement of the container that will be used, since every square graham is 2 by 2 inches how many 2 by 2 inches square graham do you need to fill in the first layer of the container?

Simply divide 12 inches (height of the container) by 2 (measure of one side of the cracker) and also divide 8 inches (width of the container) by 2 (measure of one side of the cracker). You will get 6 and 4 respectively. This means that you will need 6 square crackers to fill the height and 4 graham crackers to fill the width.

THE NEXT QUESTION The next question is how will you know the number of grahams needed to fill the whole first layer?

Simply multiply 6 by 4 and you will get 24 square graham crackers!

24 SQUARE GRAHAM CRACKERSfor the first layer! Just do the same for the second and third layer. You can also multiply 24 by the number of layers you will need to get the total number of square grahams for the whole graham float!

USE MATH IN MAKING THE

GRAHAM CAKEMath can help you solve things

even in making a cake!

PATTERNS are important in making this cake. Therefore you need to sharpen up your math skills and keep in mind the pattern in stacking up the ingredients!

TAKE YOUR TIME in stack-ing the ingredients, because there’s a tendency that you’re going to stack the ingredients in the wrong order! So take a deep breathe and follow a slow and steadu pace in stacking it up!

VARIETY is the key in making the dessert YAMIROO! Be creative and have fun by adding the different ingredients in such a way that it’ll look enticing to look at. Add and compute the number of ingredient needed for each layer of the Graham Cake!

COMPUTE for the number of ingredients needed in the cake! Don’t forget that each ingredient is important and contributes to the final taste of the cake so don’t forget anything in the list of ingredi-ents given to you by the YAMIROO team in making this dessert to the YAMIROOO LEVEL!

BIBINGKA

SALAMANGKAYour classic merienda for Filipinos who love the traditional food and delicacies!

People may say its hard to make a homemade bibingka for it needs a clay pot, charcoal and such old traditional materials for cooking but due to the upgrading technolo-gy that we inevitably adapt, baking bibingka can be made easier and conveniently at everyone’s home.

Make sure that every ingredient is exact and propor-tion to other ingredients. First one needs to prepare the following ingredients exactly and accordingly:

EASY STEPS!1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit or 190.56 degrees Celsius.

2. Mix all together 1 cup rice flour, 2 ½ teaspoon baking powder, and 1/16 teaspoon salt then mix well. Set aside.

3. Melt 3 tablespoons of butter then gradually put-in 1 cup of sugar while whisking. Make sure to not directly put the sugar at the same time to pre-serve proportionality and texture of the mixture.

4. Add the eggs then whisk at a moderate speed until every ingredient is well incorporated and parallel.

5. Pour-in 1 cup of coconut milk and 1/4 cup of fresh milk then whisk some more for 2 minutes.

6. Arrange the pre-cut banana leaf on a round cake pan.

7. Pour the mixture on the pan and bake for 15 minutes.

8. Remove from the oven then top with quarterly sliced salted egg and ½ cup of grated cheese

9. Put back in the oven and bake for 15 minutes or until the color of the top turn medium brown.

10. Remove from the oven, let cool, and brush with butter and sprinkle some sugar and grated coconut on top SUDOKU ATTACK!!

This accounts for 1 serving only, fit with 6 (r) x 2 (h) inch round pan. If you wish to celebrate with a bunch or clan, using an 8 or 9 radii size of a baking pan, again, use the proportion:

6 r 1 cup rice flour ----- = --------- 8 r x cups

Use this as to solve an x in a linear equation. Substitute any ingredient to the rightmost part of the equation. For further reference, 6 x 2 inch round pan can accomo-date 4 cups volume, 8 x 2 inch with 6 cups. It will be solved manually as there are no patterns that can be observed.

Your oven is in degrees Fahrenheit but the measurement indicated in your cookbook is in degrees Celsius, what will you do? You need conversion!

First, one should know the number of degrees Celsius in 1 decree Fahr-enheit or vise versa. (1 Degree Celcius is to 33.8 Fahrenheit as to 1 Fahrenheit is to

-17.2222 Degrees Celcius)

Your oven is in decrees Celsius and it says in the procedures that in order to bake bibingka, you need to put your oven in 375 decrees Fahrenheit. Here is the

formula:

Looking for degrees celsius(°F - 32) x 5/9 = °C

Looking for degrees fahrenheit°C x 9/5 + 32 = °F

Therefore,(375-32) x 5/9 = °C343 x 5/9 = 190.56

SA SARILING BUBONG NA

PUTO BUMBONGYour classic merienda for Filipinos who love the traditional food and delicacies!

No Filipino will definitely make a mistake on how puto bumbong looks like, another must have in a Filipino Noche Buena! Because of its distinct and strong purple color, everyone will determine that it is puto bumbong. Moreover, its cylindrical shape that came from traditional bamboo tube molders (bumbong), adds to its uniqueness and native appeal.

INGREDIENTS

Just like any other step by step process, it is important to follow these measurements for homemade puto bumbong:

Ombre hair can also be said as Gradient hair since it basically is a color style that incorporates the ele-ment of fading.

ALSO!

DID YOU KNOW..

EASY STEPS!

After preparing the ingredients needed, it’s now time to pre-pare the steamer that will be used for cooking the puto-bumbong. Since this is a home made puto bumbong, using bamboo tubes as molder won’t be necessary.

1. Mix well in a large bowl 115 grams of purple yam powder and 400 of grams rice flour until the color is even.

2. Add the 2 1/2 cups of water to the bowl until you create dough. Knead it smoothly.

3. Get about 2 tablespoons of dough. Roll it to make a ball/circle and roll it again to made a round, long, cylindrical shape about 5 inches long.

4. Spread the butter in a plate and layer the dough, steam it for 4 minutes.

5. Remove it from the steamer and put it on a banana leaf.

6. Apply butter on top then also put shredded coconut and muscovado sugar.

However, for those of you who have bamboo tubes at home, here are some re-minders. The diameter of the bamboo tubes are mostly an inch, so make sure that the thin flat stick to be used has a width of less than an inch, and a length of more than 7 inches to get the kakanin inside the bamboos.Also, to be able to know the allowance for the wrapper of the putobumbong, we must know the volume of the tubes to be able to to estimate the size of the whole putobumbong.With the formula:V=πr^2h Calculate for the volume:3.14 x 0.5 inches^2 x 7 inches = 5.5 in^3/strand of putobumbongMultiply it by 4, results to 22 in^3. This means that this is the total volume. Take note of this so that you can store your putobumbong exactly to the tupperwares (see the volume). Also, make sure that steaming time is exact to obtain the tex-ture of the yam properly –not too sticky nor hard.
