I baked it in the oven. Sometimes I steam them for the first hour and then finish off with the last hour in the oven. It’s hard to do umu or lovo here due to fire restrictions especially during our hot summer seasons. Thanks 🙏
Do you know that it took me 8 videos to get to you. Nit ine single person spoke during their video. I suppose that people think we have the time to sit and watch. Bottom line is, most people are busy and don't want to deal with that. I have to thank you, for not only telling us how to do yhos, but also for a good donut. I was looking for a chocolate or maple covered long john with Bavarian cream in the center. Will you make a video of that?? Thank you for speaking and telling us how. I DO APPRECIATE THAT! Good video, thank you!!!
Thank you for your kindness and feedback. I’ll give it a try soon and I’ll make sure to put a reminder on my list of dishes to make when I return very soon. Take care always
Hi @ TALU2020, here’s the link for Kmart Australia where I brought mine but no doubt Kmart NZ would have the same kind I’m hoping. www.kmart.com.au/product/25l-air-fryer-and-oven-silver-43024872/?sku=43024872®ion_id=300001&&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw1emzBhB8EiwAHwZZxTBcuTg0yGKOhDpG9c1QYA6175SSEp2PukLMYgK0J26IQOTg9xou3RoCaJUQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
May I pls ask how the accent got to do with the recipe? I didn’t mention anything with the pie being a New Zealand type of pie. I did say it was the Samoan’s favourite type of pie. I’m confuse here.
@mealswithmilz it's a compliment,it means your accent is delightful. (In other words) If I see any Samoan treat recipe on RU-vid,and they don't speak like you, I don't want it.
@@masanilutu aww I’m sorry excuse my Samoan mind that didn’t get what you meant. That’s why I was a bit confused. 😃😄 pls excuse my English if it gets confused sometime being my second language. Appreciate your clarification though. Thanks again for the support🙏🙏😊
Thanks for the feedback. I’ll take it on board moving forward. These were some of my very early videos and I understand your point. I learnt from others suggestions earlier then I tried to implement it with my other pies in later videos than this one. I hope to do it again and show better view. Thanks again for the feedback 🙏😊
Thank you. I have froze them before even with sausage rolls and then reheat when ready to use. I had no problem. I thawed them a little before reheating. Thanks 🙏
@@mealswithmilz That's fantastic, I'm definitely trying these. Along with your stock & sausage rolls (if I can find them) - had terrible luck particularly with the sausage rolls.. :(
You can just swap the pork mince to beef. I’m sorry I should’ve explain a bit better on the video. My apologies being new on RU-vid at the time and am still learning. I use pork mince because one of my family members have a reaction to beef mince so I use pork instead however it’s the same recipe but swap to beef mince. Hope that’s clear explanation. Thanks again 💙🙏😊
@@mealswithmilz Thank you for your guidance. I'd imagine pork to be a bit 'lighter' - less meaty... reckon I'll try your recipe with pork, 50/50 pork/beef & just beef see how it comes out. Your recipe looks & sounds delicious, so I'm looking forward to it.
@@guest8102 that’s an excellent idea mix it up 50/50 and it will be even tastier. I have tried it with burgers with the other members of the family that can take beef mince and it’s a great combo with added herbs and spices 👌👌👌 🙏😊 take care and would love to hear of your attempt and perhaps you can give me some tips 😊
I've watched a ton of videos on how to make these and decided to try yours because I love your videos! Made these for my fiances grandma before she flew back home because she always talks about these and can't get them. They were a hit! Even the family who don't normally like them said they were great. They are very honest when something is not good so 10/10 will make it again ☺ This is the first Samoan baking recipe I've made that they didn't tell me to change at all so that's a big win!
Thank you so much for your feedback and support to the channel. This is one of the videos I have to remake as it was a bit long but I’m glad you got through it. I appreciate your feedback and ratings from the family. It means a lot to me as I prepare to return to uploading more cooking videos. I took time off due to family and personal reasons but I will return very very soon. I make these a lot for friends and my family too. Most people get their supplies from Samoa but it’s better you make your own as it is much fresher. Thanks again for your feedback and for making your fiancé’s mum happy. Take care to you and family 🙏🙏😊
Where about are you pls? Are you in Australia? If you’re then I got this from Kmart back then it was $149 but now it’s a bit cheaper. You can get it from other places too. If you’re in US then I’m assuming you can get it from Amazon I can look up for you and send a link. Thanks 🙏
Thanks @ NatCooking🙏. You’re doing awesome too cooking Polynesian food including Samoan food. I love learning to cook other countries cuisines too. I’m definitely up for collab post on Insta. I’m planning to return soon on uploading more videos so perhaps I can do a collab post on my channel with one of your recipes if that’s okay with you? Thanks brada. 🙏😊
@@mealswithmilz Awesome! I will keep u posted on my progress with this one. Look forward to trying this out - looks bomb! Thanks for the kind words too btw haha Im just loving learning how to cook through awesome people such as yourself!
You’re very kind. Thank you so much. I have some Cook Island friends that had Aitutaki sign on their car. They must be from your area too. Your mum aunties or grandma must have a special donut recipe too. One of my Cookie mama from church made some for me and the family few years back. Thanks again for your support 🙏😊 take care
My sincere apology for the delay in responding. All purpose flour is simply the same as plain flour. Self raising flour has baking powder added in it already. According to Google explanation all purpose is term used by US and other parts of the world whereas plain is used in Australia New Zealand and other countries but it’s the same thing. Hope that explanation helps. Thanks 🙏
I dont understand. No wonder why you haven't uploaded any new videos/recipes. Because your charging for it now. Wow. Your the only one out of all islanders that i follow thats charging people to watch lol
If that’s how you look at it then it’s not true. If I was charging people with the recipes then I would label a price for each video and the amount of time people come back to view videos time and time whenever they make my recipes. Membership was introduced for anyone that would like to support the channel ingredients used in the videos and all but it’s not an obligation. To be honest I only have a few members that have kindly helped and I’m grateful for their help but like I said it’s not an obligation. You don’t know what life throws at you and what happens tomorrow. I’m sorry if that’s how you feel then it’s not true. I have my reasons why I haven’t been uploading and I don’t charge for people to watch if I do and if RU-vid has a payment system like that then I would make heaps of $$$$$$$ but that’s not true. I will upload when I’m ready and if you feel my channel doesn’t give you what you’re looking for then pls feel free to go ahead and support the other islander channels. It’s your choice
Talofa Milz, O le a faga sa’o a i le ifi o maina 😂😂 faamolemole lau afioga le tamaitai kuka, am i able to kao sei tulou le gagana, in the oven instead of cooking it in a saucepan or ulo? i le ava lava ma le faaaloalo.
Malo le soifua Lagi. Faamoemoe o Manuia lena itu. To be honest I haven’t tried baking it in the oven ae malo mo le faa fesili masalo e le afaina pe a kao i le ogaumu pei o Le masoa lea in tapioca pearls the small rounds one not the saiko. I guess it doesn’t hurt to try pe a? O Le a ou tago foi e faataitai lau idea ona logo atu foi lea o oe. Manuia lava fuafuaga o le aso. Alofa atu 🙏😊💜
Measurements are in the description box below the video if you can’t see it you might have to click More to be able to see everything including the full recipe. All videos have recipe in the description area. Thanks 🙏
I did for sure otherwise I won’t be able to eat the fish. I see some people cook their fish with guts and all but not me I’ll 🤮 for sure. Also the fish shop cleans it for us always but I always double clean it when I get home with lemon and vinegar. Thanks for the reminder though. 🙏😄
As a palagi this is such a good informative video to follow 😅 thanks for the detailed explanations!Appreciate the recipe & measurements in the description as well. I’m not skilled enough to guess or go by eye to try making these 🥲😂 🫶
I’m 💯 % with you on that my friend. I have few Palagi sister-in-laws and both their husbands like the Polynesian favourites as well as our young people growing up wanting to learn the culture the food and all so I’m hoping my videos and other poly RU-vidrs can help them in their journey. I also have the same desire with this channel for my own children as they’re both born overseas. I thank you so much for your feedback it means a lot to me and the family as I find the courage to make my way back to uploading more home cook contents. Whenever I’m recording a video my husband always remind me that I have to cater for everyone by explaining steps and all. Not everyone can cook so the steps will help. God bless you and the family. Take care always Milz and family 🙏😊💜💙❤️
You’re most welcome 🙏 Thank you for your feedback and comment. New Zealand pies are popular. The ingredients make it special too with the dairy ingredients in it eg: butter and cheese let alone a good steak together with a good and flavourful gravy mix. I can’t wait to hear how you go with the recipe. I’m yet to make more pie flavours but these are always a hit regardless Steak and cheese and bacon and eggs. 👌👌 happy baking🙏
@@mealswithmilz I foolishly bought beef ribs from the butcher so had to make a few adjustments but I was able to make the stock from the bones after roasting it. Also went with hot water pastry because it's super easy to make, tasty and holds liquids really well.
@@dabzvapelord to be honest I’ve never tried hot water pastry before and that makes me want to do it next time I make pies. Thanks for your feedback. If I can remember I’ll get back to you on how I go. 😊🙏
I appreciate the hard work you put into your videos. Malo lava le faafiafia o nai o tatou tagata pasefika ma tagata lautele auā e eseese ituaiga tagata. E iai tagata e kuka e iai ma isi pei la o a’u e leiloa kuka lol Faafetai tele ❤🎉
Talofa e, Faafetai lava mo le lagolago. Faamoemoe o faafiafia Ina o tatou tagata aemaise lava nai isi o tatou tagata o loo faaipoipo atu i isi atunuu. My sister in-laws aren’t Samoans so hopefully these recipes will help them to cook for their Samoan husbands and partners. Aua te popole e tofu lava le tagata ma lana taleni, atonu o sau taleni o sesi metotia ae le o le kuka. Alofa atu Faafetai lava mo le lagolago 🙏💜💙
i followed other videos and tried their ingredients and methods but this was the best for me..very easy to follow and i even perfected the best panikeke lapokopoko. and to get a crunchy exterior, just let it cook a little longer then you will get that nice crunchy panikeke. thanks for the video. God bless
Thank you for your kindness feedback. It means a lot. I’m glad you like the recipe. I also add mash banana or mash pineapples sometimes to the mix with yellow food colour. I find yellow food colour. When adding these the pancakes seem to get too brown quickly while still cooking so adding food colouring seems to stop browning the pancakes too early before they’re fully cooked. I hope it helps you and sorry for my long essay 😂 take care and God bless !
Did you make some to have with your koko? They’re the best combination in my opinion. Thanks for always reaching out. Take care always. Much love from me and family to yours. 🙏😊💜
Hello there, I fry them for about a minute or two on each sides it could be more depending on the temperature of your oil. I make sure the oil is not too hot or it will brown the buns quicker on the outside but it’s not cooked inside, also it will toughen the bun texture if that makes sense. Hope it helps🙏😊
