    Leo, hindi consistent ang texture ng finished product, there were times ok, others not eh isang recipe lang naman ang sinusunod ko. what seems to be the problem behind these various results?

    • nina says:

      its all about the mixing and how fine you ground the meat :)

      wag po kayo madismaya not all preservatives are chemicals…galing din sa natural ingredients :D

  4. Leo says:

    @johnny, small t is teaspoon, big T is tablespoon.

  5. Johnny says:

    Hi Leo,
    Thanks sa reply mo regarding labahita in English.
    Now, please clarify to me if your small t is tea spoon or table spoon in this chicken nugget recipe.
    thanks,
    Johnny

    You can adjust the ingredients according to your preferred taste. I think there’s no such thing as a perfect recipe, it will always be subjective to any cook. We have different tastes and smell, so I guess it’s up to us to adjust and prepare it to our own preference. Btw, the recipe is from the Dept. of Agriculture website.

    we’ve tired this recipe but sad to say that the result was frustrating kasi matabang yung taste nya. we thought that this recipe was kitchen tested. it did not passed to our panelist nong pina sensory test namin.

  8. Leo says:

    @tolome – check the Ultima Entrepinoy contacts above.

    @jack, the recipe above is primarily for commercial use hence the need for extenders. however, you can substitute other ingredients with your preference for your own consumption.

    nakaka-dismaya naman tong recipe na ito. too unnatural…

  10. tolome says:

    hi…question lang.
    madali ba hanapin yun mga ingredients like TVP, Carageenan, phosphate,
    nutmeg? available ba yan locally sa Manila.

    Thanks a lot and more power.
