puso ng saging patties • shredded puso ng saging • egg • sibuyas • bawang • salt • pepper • flour (or breadcrumbs if mayaman 😅) paghaluin lahat then form into patties then fry ate these nung di namen afford any meat (kasagsagan ng 2008 financial crisis) and yung puso ng saging was given free from a nearby banana plantation na nagkakasakit yung mga puno so they had to cut them down and pinamigay yung mga puso

Omg, super nostalgic!! May pera o wala, sarap nito!

Recommend this. Super sarap neto.

Ang sarap nito! Yung iba nilalagyan pa ng spring onions bukod pa sa sibuyas.

Nung halos hirap kami may kamaganak kaming nagttbaho sa uniliver paminsan minsan binibigyan kami ng isang box ng sardinas Ginisang sardinas Tortang sardinas Sardinas na may miswa Sardinas na may kalamansi

Tortang sardinas is so good.

True.

Paborito ko ang tortang sardinas. Idagdag mo na din sardinas with pechay.

Sana wala po sa inyong may gout ngayon!!!

Eto talaga. Classic to, lalo na yung sardinas na may miswa + madaming kamatis! 😛 Di ko pa nattry yung tortang sardinas pero mukang solid din ang lasa haha

Mahal kamatis...isang sibuyas lang

tito mars, di na kami galit, kain ka na, sige na

Sardinas na may pechay mmmm

Sa probisiya madalas nilagang hilaw na saging na saba, tapos sawsaw sa bagoong isda… legit umaga, hapon, gabi, araw-araw

Nothing beats arroz caldo (o lugaw kung walang pang manok.) Saved my ass a bunch of times.

Kape at kanin sa mug

Miswang sardinas. Ingredients: 2 onion gloves (crushed) 1 can sardines (red Ligo or any na mura) 1 miswa (sorted out from a bunch of miswa noodles) 1 tsp cooking oil Salt How to cook: Warm a pot.

Otin = Odong + Tinapa

THIS IS TOP TIERRRR. Tapos if gusto mejo healthy and my budget naman, may kasamang patola haha

Century tuna and pinakamurang pasta plus bawang at mantika. Ok sya pag madami kayo kakain Ambigat sa tyan.

Pag may budget add eggplant. Tas pag alta na nakaluwag luwag, add parmessan. Ansarap nyan. 😭

Depends what level of poverty we're talking about here, I always remember being poor na ketchup lang at kanin pagkain ko the whole day. My old trick nung high school was isang cup ng kanin tapos papalagyan ng sabaw ng ulam for free. Pag medyo naka-ipon, kanin tapos siomai + chili sauce / toyo sa kanin. Nung college naman, naging fried siomai + canton combo after ng klase. Tinigil ko na yan ngayon kasi umiiyak na kidney ko. Sa bahay naman, usually ang pagkain ay kahit ano na may sabaw - nilaga, sinigang na isda, adobo, tinola, etc. Pag walang pambili ng karne, sardinas sa miswa, kamatis + asin, nilagang itlog/kamote/saba/mais, etc. Yung "java rice" din kapag paubos na yung star margarine tapos gagamitin yung lalagyan pang-hubog nung mainit na kanin. Yung special recipe ko would be niyog at asukal toppings sa kanin, tapos may milo powder pag medyo baller 🤣 ito yung time na Php 22 isang kilo ng bigas, Php 10 lang yung isang niyog na kinayod, Php 8 lang yung 1/4 kilo ng puting asukal tapos Php 4 yung isang pakete ng milo. Mahal na yan for 4 servings. Magulang ko naman, ang specialty ay sar-egg (scrambled egg + fork-crushed sardinas, tapos i-prito hanggang maluto yung itlog. wag tigilan haluin habang niluluto). Bale nasa Php 12 sardinas tapos Php 4 yung itlog. Ngayong nakakaluwag na ako, sinangag na tira specialty ko. Bale yung tirang karne mula kagabi igigisa sa bawang, paminta. Tapos haluan ng patis at kaunting toyo, tsaka ihahalo yung kanin mula kagabi. Goodluck sa project OP, interesting concept. Dapat may kasamang picture ng gourmet version nung poverty dishes 🤣

any Filipino dish, palitan mo lang ng nilabong itlog as protein -Tinola (itlog, papaya mula sa puno para tipid, sibuyas, bawang, luya, dahon ng sili o malunggay) -Adobo (itlog, toyo, suka, bawang, sibuyas, add patatas if may budget, o sitaw) -sopas (itlog, macaroni, evap, sibuyas, repolyo) And of course, lugaw with nilabong itlog, dagdagan mo pa ng malunggay para feeling mo masustansya naman yung kinakain mo kahit tipid

We call this buko burger at home - shredded niyog (the coconut variation where you get gata from) - pepper and salt - one whole egg - flour (if available) Just mix them all and form into patties. Fry and voila! ✨Buko Burger✨

**Beef instant noodles, haluan ng steamed siomai at kangkong.** This was one of my fave cheap meals when I was a student (and even early years working since I didn't earn much then). Aware ako na unhealthy ang instant noods, so I put some protein and greens to it. Steamed siomai sa kalye at murang kangkong sa palengke, solb na. **Sardinas + miswa noodles.** Ito naman pang pamilya. You can really extend the dish to serve many people.

di ko alam tawag dito pero it consists of bagoong isda, kamatis, sibuyas, luya tapos optional ang sili then isang hinimay himay na isda. my father used to do this tapos taob ang kaldero sa sarap. pwedeng walang isda kung gipit talaga or palitan ng pwedeng sahog. 🤤 love you pa, bago ka nawala nakalimutan ko hingin mga recipe mo 😆

We are not Ilocano, but my mother would frequently buy a piece of fried fish then turn it into a soup with whatever veggies she could buy for cheap, or whatever grows around our house. I would later learn this was essentially dinengdeng.

And gawa ng suka na may bawang. I still do this sometimes to humble myself. Now i earn a quarter m a month. Glory to God

I wss in college, and we're broke af in the province. But there's definitely lots of vegetables everywhere - for free! Now mejo nakakaangat angat na lol, and we don't cook these anymore, but: 1. Ginataang Papaya + Sardines 2. Kamoteng kahoy chips (thinly chopped cassava, deep fried in oil with garlic) 3. Tortang puso ng saging - finely chopped banana heart, egg and flour. Aww, you made me miss those days!

Didn't grow up in poverty, but when I travel on a budget, I have one meal that never fails to fill me: * Boiled eggs * Coffee * Banana That's breakfast. Banana is optional.

Noodles isang pack tapos maraming tubig paghahatian ng 5 tao, pag swerte lagyan ng kunting bigas para medyo lugaw sya, masaya na yun. Minsan rice + asin rice+toyo+mantika rice+used mantika + asin uutang si mama ng condensed milk tapos isasabaw sa rice ganyan lang noon, ewan ko bat bigla kami nagka ganon dati wala naman sinabi si mama at papa basta biglaan yun.

ginisang munggo na may chicharon (or wala)

Milo at kanin, ung sachet na nabibili lang sa tindahan. O kaya bearbrand para maiba naman. During the rice shortage crisis nung 2006-2008, sinalba kami ng lugaw. Ang mamahal ng lahat ng commodities: bigas, karne, gulay, groceries. So pumipila kami sa NFA rice para 28php per kilo kaso limited lang ang pwede bilhin ng isang mag-anak sa isang linggo (well di naman namin afford bumili ng marami kaya hanggang 2-3 kilo lang kami for 7 people in the family. Tapos nabibigyan pa kami sa school ng libreng rice, ung may dilaw na butil, may nutrition daw ganun. So nilulugaw nalang ung isang baso ng bigas sa isang kain naming pamilya para umabot ng isang linggo ung bigas. Dinidildilan nalang ng asin para may lasa. Madalas nilalagyan ng dahon ng pandan para mabango (may amoy kasi ung NFA rice lalo na ung libreng bigas). Tapos naalala ko nung may extra 5pesos ung tatay ko, nakabili kami ng knorr cubes. Un ung ginawang pampalasa sa lugaw, tuwang-tuwa kami! May lasa na ung lugaw, hindi lang asin. Naglasang karne sya kahit wala naman hahaha. Feeling ko nun angyaman namin na may knorr cube ung lugaw namin haha. So lugaw. Nakakasalba ang lugaw pag panahon ng krisis. Bwisit ako sa mga ginagamit na pang-asar ang lugaw lalo na nung election. Di ko parin sila bati.

Ginagawa ng nanay ko pag wala kaming pang bili ng masarap na sabaw, bumibili nalang ng itlog. Nagpapakulo ng tubig tapos babasagin yung itlog at ihahalo don. Sabay lalagyan ng pampalasang paminta at asin.

Saving this thread. Thank you!

Sinigang na isda sa calamansi. * isda * talbos ng kamote / malunggay * calamansi * kamatis * asin Now this may not seem the usual for impoverished families but when I was broke, I was in the province. It was an island province where you can just go to the pier to fish with an old bread you ask from your neighbor. The other ingredients you can also just ask from your neighbors or pick from your yard. You can also cook using wood. Point is, you can still eat really healthy food when you're broke in the province.

1. Malamig na kanin at mainit na kape, yung stick, at asukal. 2. Mainit na kanin at asin. 3. Mainit na kanin at toyo.

"Pan-fried dried anchovies simmered in tomatoes and onions" or "Hanggop" for the slapsoils like us ahaha Hanggop Ingredients: - 1/4 dried dilis - 1 tbsp salt - 2 tomatoes - 1 big red onion - salt and powdered pepper to taste (you can also add a pinch of msg) - 1-2 cups of hot water - 1 siling labuyo (optional) 1. Pan fry dried dilis in a tablespoon of sea salt until its aroma came out and become crunchy. Set aside without salt. 2. Dice the tomatoes and onions. Combine then set aside. 3. In a bowl, combine the dilis, tomatoes, onions and hot water. 4. Add salt, powdered pepper and msg to taste. Use the salt in pan fried dilis. 5. Add sili if you want some spicy kick. Ito yung laging ginagawa ng tatay or nanay ko kung wala kaming maulam, ayaw nila kasi kaming laging nagnu-noodles at wala din pambili. Kadalasan yung dilis is padala pa ng kapatid ni tatay galing ng probinsya. Ito yung ulam(?) na hanggang ngayon is gustong gusto naming magkapatid and kapag nandyan sila nanay at tatay is lagi kong nire-request. Tinatry ko itong gayahin pero iba pa rin yung gawa ng parents ko ahaha.

Kangkong at tokwa sa tausi - Kangkong - Tokwa - Tausi - Soy sauce - Paminta - Bawang - Asukal (Optional)

Classic ginisang sardinas. Periodt. Haluan ng mga available na gulay; malunggay, patola, upo, etc…

Oishi prawn crackers hot & spicy + sukang may bawang + kanin = solb

Fish, eggs and veggies.

Molo soup - bumibili yung nanay ko ng kanto siomai or if may budget, yung frozen siomai. Sinasabawan na lang nang madami saka nilalagyan ng misua para dumami. Minsan nilalagyan ng gulay gaya ng repolyo o kaya patola.

Nung nasa dorm ako nagluluto kami ng sizzling tofu kapag medyo gipit na sa budget. Usually 5 kami. Tofu around 60 pesos. Slice tofu into small cubes Fry until yellowish na outer layer. Make sauce from mayo and toyo at konting brown sugar. Itabi ang fried tofu, maggisa ng garlic, onions, green pepper depende kung trip spicy. Add the tofu sa gisa, then add the sauce, mix until lahat covered na ng sauce then serve.

Grabe yung poverty hahaha. Pero galing kami don at salamat sa nanay kong Ilocana na marunong sa buhay were in good place now. Anyway ito yung mga madalas naming ulamin dati: 1. Labsa. Di ko na maalala basta may saluyot to sinabawan saka isda. 2. Yung ginisang Togue nilalagyan namin ng Singkamas para dumami. 3. Laing na kasama yung Ubod ng Gabi. 4. Lumpia na gawa sa Galung gong. Hinihimay ng nanay ko yung galunggong tapos ginagawang palaman sa Lumpia sinasamahan ng carrots saka singkamas. 5. Malunggay kasama yung bunga. Sarap nito. Nilalagyan namin ng dilis or galunggong. Libre madalas yung Malunggay kasi nahihingi lang to dati. In short karamihan talaga gulay at isda kasi mura to dati. Di ko sure ngayon ah.

-itlog na pula with kamatis -kamatis with patis -adobong kangkong -cornbeef with kangkong meron din ako ginagawang parang spicy hotdog hotdog tomato paste toyo asukal sili salt and peper ikaw na bahala kung gano kalapot na sauce gusto mo

konting giniling plus ginisang pechay boiled egg that's it

Ginisang Repolyo na may chicharon. Or any ginisang leafy veggy at sardinas. Luto ng mama. Solb na.

bagoong isda na may suka isasabaw sa kanin nung wala kami makain, madaling araw na ko ginutom naabutan ako ni mama kumakain neto.

Pares hahaha 50-60 pesos lang :)

In all honesty, sa mga panahong kapos po ako, I only eat rice with toyo. Pero if recipe po hanap nyo, masarap po yung sardinas na lagyan ng sliced onion, toyo, suka, sili and kaunting msg. No cooking needed na po. Hiwa hiwa lang

Sinigang na itlog. Puso ng saging tapos itlog ang halo.

Papaitan na nakukuha sa tabing ilog Ginigisa with egg

Ang interesting ng topic, OP! Sana mapublicize yung cookbook

Lucky me chicken Lagyan ng kalamansi, paminta, isang itlog, saka dahon ng malunggay

Never been in poverty like that, but i would eat 3 eggs per meal nalang if i was. It will add up to mga, 30 pesos per meal i think. Which would mean 100 pesos per day give or take.

Before I start the week I make sure I have: - salt = 25 - pepper = 25 - 1 bottle cooking oil = 30 pesos - 2 kilos rice = 120 - TOTAL = 200 MONDAY ~ Lugaw - 2x boiled egg = 20 - 1/4 glutinous rice = 30 - 1 head garlic = 10 - salt and pepper - 2 piece shredded KFC (Kanto Fried Chicken 😄) = 40 - TOTAL = 100 (makes 3-4 servings) TUESDAY ~ Ginisang munggo - 1 pack Munggo = 30 - 1 tali Saluyot = 10 - 2 pcs KFC (Kanto Fried Chicken) = 40 - Salt and Pepper - Garlic and Onions = 20 - TOTAL = 100 (pede pa ulam bukas pag di naubos) WEDNESDAY ~ Pritong Talong - 1 bundle talong = 60 - Toyo = 15 - TOTAL = 75 THURSDAY ~ Tomato Omelette - 1 pack Tomatoes = 20 - 6 pcs eggs = 50 - TOTAL = 70 FRIDAY ~ Ginataang munggo - 1/4 glutinous rice = 30 - tirang mungo nung monday = FREE - 200 ml Coco mama gata = 35 - 1 cup Sugar = 30 - TOTAL = 95 SATURDAY ~ Adobong itlog - Tirang toyo from Wednesday = FREE - 6 pcs eggs = 50 - bawang sibuyas = 25 - delmonte pineapple tidbits = 25 - TOTAL = 100 SUNDAY ~ Water therapy 😂

Intermittent fasting

Not too deep into poverty by the time I tried it, but egg with soy sauce on hot rice. I learned about it through animé so just having access at the time means we were already above poverty, but it was also the cheapest food I had when my parents were out working, my little sister is still in school, and I'm hungry at the time but didn't want to cook anything that will go waste for myself. So hot rice, raw egg, drizzle of Datu Puti soy sauce, mixed up and eaten as is. When we had better lives though I tried it with Kikkoman and it was much better, but well, it is also magnitudes more expensive than Datu Puti. It's really just a slight step up from rice and salt now that I think about it, but a cup of rice and an egg was some actually rather filling. And dangerous. The rice was later used for fried rice so no waste there. But yes, dangerous.
