How to Make Yuca Fries and Sudada 

There is a difference texturally. I've noticed nicer restaurants usually do this style. But I agree at home, I would just cut, boil, and fry them it's much easier.

This is how my Costa Rican chef friend makes them, definitely easier than this video haha

It is normally cut and fry 😆, just need to boil those chunks and fry them after

Yeah its normaly just cut and fry, and you can peel it by making a cut and push your fingers in the skin if it is fresh the it will peel right off

It’s better to boil them until just barely tender and then cool them down completely. After, just shallow fry until golden. Deep frying isn’t necessary.

If you just fry it can get very dry, but you don't need the extra step of making puree and shape, this method is used when the yuka is not fresh and/or for some unknown reason still keeps hard after boiled or you want to season

Same here...I put it back . I don't have time tonight. I'm disappointed ☹️

It was the yuca itself :)

Cassava

Thank you!

@@greenwoodreid3796 No problem!

it is cassava, which is stupidly easy to prepare... I have to idea what all the flailing around was about

Not sure where you are located but yucca here is sold coated in wax. So, I assume thats where the waxy film comes from.

@@Zamerick13 yup, it’s coated in wax here in California too, doesn’t make cleaning up after it less annoying lol

It had too much water. 🤣

This is just a advanced recipe like fries. All you have to do is boil and then fry

Two complete sentences, and zero punctuation? 🤣

@@majoroldladyakamom6948 I hope your son gets ptsd

But they aren't potatoes

@@majoroldladyakamom6948 Hey! Piss off mom...........just kidding 😉

It was as the chef stated -“added moisture from the coconut milk”

Cuz its like premium content

Exactly, I knew this was gonna be rough when she was cutting the ends off and wasn't holding her knife properly

such a nice comment that was

She's literally a professional chef. Do you have any idea how condescending you are?

@@Yourantsally lmao Kid, I trained under three master chefs, I have a double degree from Le Cordon Bleu, a food science degree from Cornell and have been an Executive Chef for 30 years. I am chef for one of the top catering companies in the Midwest now and have been chef for places such as South Seas resort. So when I post something about culinary arts it's a fact born from a lifetime of experience. So lash out all you like, it changes no actual facts...

@@Facetiously.Esoteric it's funny how you expect us to believe all of that

I would likely do the same thing but I dont typically fry food but these can be done in the oven with oil brushed on them & help them dry out a bit on a baking sheet. Not fond of oil soaked foods

Hi, there are several comments about this here. There is something I said in the video that got cut from the final edit but a lot of Colombian cooking I learned from my grandmother which she learned from her mother and it does not involve western techniques like using a cutting board. Most of the food they prepared was done in your hand without any use of a cutting board and often involves nontraditional cuts like cutting towards yourself, Cutting food into small pieces against your thumb, and possibly other techniques you would find horrifying. I am not nearly as good at it as she was, but at the end of the day not everything has to revolve around a western ideal of what cooking is or should be. I want everyone to be safe, but what works for me might not necessarily work for you and I would hope you understand the opposite is also true. I would love to see more non-Eurocentric cooking on RU-vid hope this inspires other people to do the same.

@@anitas457 i appreciate your view but that really has nothing to do with my comment. Im a seasoned cook and also cut in hand. But she is clearly cutting with a chefs knife.. there's no way in hell anyone should be doing that!!

@@steveos3185 She is me. Now I know why all of this went over your head.

@@anitas457 so instead of insulting me why don't you have an intelligent conversation with me about it? Maybe we could talk about the blade your using Or we could get into talking about hand cutting foods like they do a lot of in the Caribbean and Africa. One thing is for sure. You don't use a Chefs knife and cut towards yourself! So no, nothing went over my head. I hope you have a wonderful Sunday!!

@@steveos3185 I think it's hard for anyone to have an intelligent conversation with you dude

Y U C A, not yucca.

The video pronunciation is right, yucca is another plant
