ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Nilaga

Okay kiddo, today let's talk about nilaga! Nilaga is a yummy soup that is very popular in the Philippines. It's made with meat, usually beef, and lots of vegetables like potatoes, carrots, and cabbage.

To make nilaga, first we need to cut the beef into small pieces and put it in a big pot with water. We then put it on the stove and let it boil. While it's boiling, we need to remove the scum that floats to the top using a ladle. This scum is not good for us to eat, so we need to take it out of the pot.

Once the beef is cooked and tender, we add in the vegetables. We cut the potatoes and carrots into small pieces and add them into the pot. We also add in some cabbage, and let it simmer until all the vegetables are soft and cooked.

Finally, we season the nilaga with some salt and pepper to make it taste even more yummy. When it's done, we can enjoy a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a cold day. Yum!
