Our next guest is here with some great recipes
from his restaurant here in Manhattan.
The restaurant is called
Flippy Sigi.
Please welcome back to our show, Jordan Andino.
(audience applauds)
What's up, baby?
How's it going?
Good, thank you.
So what are we making?
All right, so we're making an old classic
of my restaurant.
It's something that's brand new.
Chicken? A chicken, yep,
chicken sandwich and then a poutine, longanisa poutine,
which is like bringing from my Canadian roots.
French fries, gravy, cheese, longanisa.
It's delicious.
Okay, okay.
You ready to get started?
Well no, you start, and I'm just gonna watch.
You sure? You don't wanna cook along with me?
No, I'm not cooking.
Listen, that's why I'm here. You just follow along.
Exactly.
All right, so first thing we're gonna do
is we're gonna make the secret sauce,
and I know you like spice.
So right here we're gonna have some garlic,
and this is kinda that like spicy hot seasoning,
some lemon juice, some liquid smoke,
a little bit of oil, Sambal and sriracha.
All right?
So we're gonna get all this started,
and this right here is gonna be that,
kind of that awesome coating that you get
when you get that fried chicken sandwich.
So it's nice and spicy, has a nice little kick to it.
We're gonna put it in, give it a blend.
(blender whirring)
And you're blending just what I have right here?
Yeah, so I blend it here,
and you actually have some right there
in that squeeze bottle right above-
No, I wanna taste it by myself.
Yeah, yeah.
And then what's gonna happen right here,
after you're done, we're gonna move on to the chicken part.
That chicken that you're having
is dusted in tamarind powder.
And tamarind is like
this kinda sweet southeastern Asian spice.
It's also very good for you.
Yeah, it is very good for you,
and it has that nice kinda natural tang to it.
I battered it in cornstarch.
I baked it and then fried it.
So that's what you're eating now.
Let me know what do you think.
Mm-hmm.
It's nice, right? Nice?
(audience applauds)
And then, so what we're gonna do
to build it at the restaurant,
we're gonna put a little bit of this kinda secret sauce
that I have.
You can only get it at the restaurant.
We like to call it banana ketchup,
but there's lots of more things in there.
Then you have some lettuce, tomato, and onion.
Then you have, of course,
that nice, spicy delicious chicken that you're having.
We're gonna throw on some more of that hot sauce
to really give it that spice.
I know you like that spice, Wendy.
I heard you got a dog.
I did. I got a dog, and his name is Niyoki.
He's a half Corgi, half Aussie shepherd.
There he is. (crowd exclaims)
He's beautiful, and I love him.
He's like my best friend now, ya know?
I also heard that during this whole,
and we're still under quarantine.
Yeah.
But you never closed.
No, I was fortunate.
The restaurant never closed, and-
(audience applauds)
Yeah, thank you.
And we stayed open because me and my two partners,
we actually ended up creating a group
called Feed Our Warriors,
and we donated 3,000 meals
to frontline healthcare workers around the five boroughs.
(audience applauds)
It's a good, moist sandwich.
It's nice, right?
And so yeah, it looks like this. It's awesome.
And then, moving on, though,
so you always need to pair a sandwich with some great fries.
So in this case we have longanisa poutine.
longanisa, sweet barbecued Filipino sausage.
Poutine, Canadian fries, gravy, cheese.
Can't go wrong.
What's the red stuff?
Yeah, the red stuff, that's the longanisa.
So it's like a sweet barbecued Filipino sausage.
And then what we're gonna do is,
so we have our gravy here.
You're gonna add bay leaves, some chicken bouillon cubes,
and I based this off of adobo,
which is like chicken national dish of the Philippines.
Right.
So I have soy sauce, bay leaf, garlic, and vinegar.
And we make that into this awesome kind of gravy
that we have right here.
Are you still single?
So no, I'm spoken for.
But you know, I'm happy and it definitely,
having someone during the quarantine is nice.
(audience applauds)
So what we're gonna do with the poutine,
you have your fries here.
You can use them fried, baked,
or whatever kind of fries that you like.
Throw on a heaping amount of cheese.
And then on top of that, throw on your longanisa,
which we're gonna put right on top.
Good. Pop up that, yeah.
It's nice, right?
Put that in the oven, and out comes this bad boy right here.
All right. (audience applauds)
And then you garnish it with some gravy.
Gravy?
Gravy.
Just throw it right on top and then some scallions
as you have in front of you.
And there you have it.
So you have a sandwich, you've got your fries.
Everything delicious at Flip Sigi
in the West Village here in Manhattan.
(audience applauds)
Really good.
Thank you so much, Jordan.
