Here’s a complete list of the recipes featured in Season 2 of Battle of the Dishes: Ube.
All episodes are available in a playlist on my YouTube channel.
Episode 1: Ube Fries
Simple, crispy ube fries fried in oil and finished with salt and ketchup for dipping — a playful purple twist on a classic snack.
Episode 2: Ube Turon
Ube paired with ripe banana, wrapped in lumpia wrappers and deep-fried until golden and caramelized — a sweet, crunchy treat with vibrant color.
Episode 3: Ube Samosa
A twist on the familiar samosa: a flaky pastry filled with ube for a subtly sweet, colorful filling that contrasts nicely with the crisp shell.
Episode 4: Ube Spam Musubi
A creative take on Spam musubi where the rice is tinted purple for visual impact. The salty Spam and seasoned rice make a balanced savory bite.
Episode 5: Ube Noodles
Fresh pasta dough lightly infused with ube for an eye-catching purple hue. The subtle flavor complements sauces while making the dish stand out.
Episode 6: Ube Sinigang
A classic sinigang reimagined by stirring ube into the broth. The ube changes the soup’s texture and adds a subtle sweetness and color contrast to the tangy base.
Episode 7: Ube Mochi Waffles
Extremely popular: breakfast waffles made with mochi for a chewy texture and ube for gentle flavor and vivid color. Crispy outside, tender and chewy inside.
Episode 8: Ube Malasadas
Hawaiian-style malasadas made purple and filled with creamy ube custard — a soft, pillowy fried dough with a luscious sweet center.
Episode 9: Ube Churros
Classic churros given a purple accent with ube extract. These keep the familiar cinnamon-sugar crunch while adding a subtle ube note.
Episode 10: Ube Milk Tea
Ube extract brightens milk tea with a natural purple color and a pleasant sweet, creamy flavor — a fun and flavorful beverage option.
