AI-assisted
  • Use racaba as your ulam/side: aim for about 1–2 cups cooked or a generous serving per meal.
  • Balance your plate: keep rice to a reasonable portion, then add racaba plus a protein (fish, chicken, tofu, or eggs).
  • If you’re cooking it with bagoong, patis, or lots of oil, go lighter on the sauce and use less oil so the meal stays lighter.
  • For snacks, you can also have a small serving of vegetable-based ulam (not only crackers or sweets) to support steadier eating across the day.
