helloo! for the sauce i would totally recommend air frying the tomato and peppers to get a char flavor, and also air frying garlic and shallots. its so good! im lao and doing this is nearly identical to how my mom would make it :)
So happy to see you making a Laotian dish in your meals! I’m Lao and definitely recommend charing your tomatoes abit more for more flavor. Adding shallots and garlic (charred) is how my grandma and mom make their Jew mak Len. Hope to see you explore more Lao dishes!
I'm Laotian and I love that you're making laab and now jeow, it looked delicious with meat and sticky rice such a classic, I could eat that every day 😍 It's encouraging me to embrace my origins and start cooking more Laotian meals !
pro tip for you and weylie (from a chef) : use the back of your knife when pushing/gathering the food you chop. when you use the sharp end, you’re wearing it down more over time. it can be tricky to get in the habit of it, but i find this change in technique sets apart home chefs from someone who takes cooking to the next level. taking care of your tools in the long run is crucial. keep it up!
i love how you make the simplest dishes with ingredients from home (imma be making that rice cake and shitake dish this week...). Please keep making these dishes! Love em!
Hey!! I'm Lao!! So happy you're discovering Lao food! For the jeow mak len, if you roast the tomatoes a little, your sauce is going to be even more bomb! That's how my mom makes it! She also adds roasted shallots in there! Try it!
Wah! It's been a wee while since I properly watched one of these and have noticed how well you've done! Amazing job and the food looks delish as always!!
I make that rice cake/mushroom dish. I usually just add what ever veggies I have in the fridge. And the sauce is never the same. As for the tuna curry, I never thought of using tuna in Japanese curry. That may be my lunch tmr. Thanks for the idea.
I love jeow maklen it’s one of my favorite Lao sauces! Next time try charring your tomatoes, garlic, shallots, Thai peppers and green onions before mixing it with the sugar and fish sauce. I also like to add a little bit of padek to mine to give it more umami haha. Try it you might like it! :)
Wah, these dishes look DANK!!!!! I was salivating the whole time.... literally going to make it this week. As always, love the content and thanks for the food inspo. 🤗
I made myself a nice meal while watching this, I had some jasmine rice and leftover chicken breast, I fried up some fresh Broccolini and I added coconut amino’s, and sesame oil and then I added in my chicken that was already cooked, And then once that was done I put it on top of my race I put on some more coconut amino‘s and lots of Sriracha! So good And I’ve got my big Korean spoon lol 😆 i’m learning so much from all of you guys. Mostly the girls like Jen and your wife The whole circle I guess! Thank you
I loved the simplicity of the mushrooms and rice cake dish! Definitely one to try at home 😋 Also where did you get the bowl foe the udon?? I've been looking for deeper bowls for pho and ramen!
Mmm! Food looks good 🤤 that crispy burnt bacon is PERFECT, i like my bacon a little burnt 🥓👩🏻🍳 Also loving the camera whenever you go out to grocery shop 👌😌
You should try Huppy toothpaste. It has clean ingredients and it's better for the environment since it's also plastic free! Food looks amazing as always 👌
Well before flouride, humans lost all their teeth by 15 years old, and now with all the sugar we eat, it would be even younger. So I would say it´s good
Hey Wah, may you please go back to the recipe ingredients and directions in the description box like before? That way I can recreate your recipes in the future.
