Why We Eat: Mole 

It’s funny how much the recipe can vary. Where I come from in Jalisco we never used chocolate in it. I didn’t have chocolate with mole until I lived in Chicago.

We never used chocolate.

@@Bravonewyork nope. Some of us in Hidalgo also use chocolate. The are so many variations of mole and all of them are unique and delicious.

Please don’t fight brothers.

Chocolate de la abuelita, plátanos and galletas marias is all you need ;)

Odalis Leon that’s an enmolada. Or enchilada de mole. Nomas lleva la tortilla and mole. 🤣

Lol I know, but to be fair she's only making the mole which is very hard already. Everyone knows how to boil chicken. She should've mentioned though that with chicken and rice it's very nice

Odalis Leon me gusta su nombre pero si asi siempre lo asian en mi hogar con el pollo y arroz

@@acidic6706 I know what you mean. And it Evey true.

Because anyone can make chicken or rice but the secret is in the sauce ... mole...duh...

didnt get the joke. does it menas "yes" ?

@@jingthethief you gotta me latino to fully understand it

@@jingthethief "Ya Mija" means "That's enough dear". It's commonly used by older relatives to tell the younger people that something is enough.

“ ya pendeja “

Ken Wiggins just for 1 sos

My local spot uses 189 ingredients in theirs and ive also had to make one with 60 so her using 20 is truly not that many.

Who we all know she meant 'to pair with'.. but yeah I was little confused for a second when she said that lol

@Ross Martinez III more then one way to make it, there's like 7 different types of mole alone. Why not add more an try cooking it differently?

Literally not even close she just meant dont have to make it complex

I never hears of adding PB just chocolate. :I

Ram Z pura pinche Diarrea no mms

Hahahaha yes that’s what we use!

OMFG. My bisabuela told my dad the same thing when he was a kid! The whole family thought it was some ancient family recipe. 💀🙄

So white washed you guys are so sad. Bet your very güero

😆

@@deisysanchez1641 they were bomb

Totally agree, chicken mole the best , I can put that stuff on my pancakes, no joke 👍

Same here lol

💀💀💀💀

It's like how Italians make their mother sauces differently. You can use olive oil, render some sort of animal fat like bacon or fatty lamb shoulders. Idk why people can't understand that lol.

I also highly recommend Mark Wein’s Oaxaca Mole video. He travels to a small village and meets a friends grandma who makes them mole from scratch. Super Cool, she had one of those 30+ ingredients recipe and cooks it all outside in her kitchen.

Courtney Coleman I watched that video and it was amazing. I was really craving mole after I watched it.

Mole can be used for more than just chicken

@@alrami6602 pork ,turkey,dove

many do not know that there is a white mole made with yellow chilies and almonds and another pink

Do either of them not use chocolate? My mother is from Queretaro and was taught a recipe with no chocolate.

We in Guanajuato do not use chocolate in our mole and is more in the spicy side and about the same way it’s made In Querétaro. By the way Querétaro is a beautiful state.

@In Dreams Yes it is mole, did you watch the video? stop the saltyness, and yes I´m Mexican living in Mexico

In Dreams Girl never said otherwise, she’s just trying people to see Mexican cuisine’s greatness grow up twat

@In Dreams mole is from royal meals in mesoamerica idiot! Like your name. In your dreams

@In Dreams yeah so what? Im from puebla, shit I live here, and what she did definitely was mole, as is the one they do on Oaxaca, Veracruz etc... everyone adds their own different recipes to it and its ok, stop gatekeeping

@In Dreams no te voy a decir che secuestrador

Mole is by far my favorite sauce. I compare it to a curry sauce, but the depth of flavors is so above any curry I've ever tasted. My husband introduced me to mole and open my palate to a taste unlike any other. I was a taco and burrito are my Mexican favorite foods person. I want to taste birria next.

@1 1 the chili pepper or the fast food chain? I mean, both of them are good, so I have to ask 😅

@R. Grant eewww gross baby donkey shwarma crapy version! If it aint corn it aint MEXICA!!

@R. Grant what are avocado pears? Also, Mexico is in North America

Even then if Mexican Food in the US is not the same...its can be close...but

Hedwig Etcetera wouldn’t that be an enmolada? Or am I confused?

This

@@treygreypaws3689 yes with sour cream and some fresh cheese mmmmm

🔥🔥🔥🔥

I'm bout to have some tomorrow for dinner (:

Peter Schonback I mean if it says it expired in 2015, what do you think it means? It pretty much answers itself

I prefer Rogelio Bueno - I know what I’m making for dinner 🤤

😂😂

Oh my god use teloloapan much better

my mom just slapped you and say hijole

Actually yeah she did. What's the problem?

Ready Freddy! She’s not educated lol

Ready Freddy! idk about you buuuut mole is normally eaten with chicken, rice, pork etc. not with a sad tortilla lmao

@@ajm469 Zepeda is obviously talking about the mole sauce and not the dish. Second she is using a tortilla for presentation. Y'all just haiting on her for no reason.

She hella stupid she turned mole into enchiladas 🤣

Jessica Wang with some rice, mole on top of chicken and tortillas 🥺

The same way people prefer to showcase a well made ragu by using it only for pasta is what the chef did

Sometimes we use mole like salsa (at least in my house). I like to put it on my migas.

My mom used to do enchilas de mole, solo mole queso y crema

If the mole is good enough, I can just eat that shit with a spoon. If you haven't come across some homemade mole that you would literally just eat by itself, you aint had good mole before... Probably one of the best restaurants in Mexico, Pujol, serves it's most iconic dish "Mole Madre" just as is, a plate with mole on it with three types of homemade tortillas beside it. you're supposed to taste the mole and the depth behind it and truly appreciate the palate of the sauce maker. Chef Olivera's rendition on his mole is that they save a bit of the mother mole from almost the inception of his restaurant. so every plate of mole madre that goes out in his dining room, that mole has 3+ years of date on it! wild.

Well she is a self-proclaimed cultural anthropologist

She was also insinuating that most or all Europeans have family crests, and that a mole is the mexican equivalent, when there are barely any family crests in Europe. But yeah, "cultural anthropologist".

Well she's a kitchen wench with her own narratives to push, so what do you expect?

these new age broads dont know shit ask em bout oral sex they experts on that front

MB peanuts were cultivated in South America then brought to China via Portuguese traders during the Ming Dynasty, the Chinese love peanuts so much they started growing it. In pre-Columbian, spices like cinnamon, vanilla beans, sesame seeds, mustard and oregano were used for flavouring food, so definitely the food wasn’t bland.

The fact about those things even touching thinking that is all mexico is 🤡🤡🤡🤡

ISEYTHETEETHSNAKE what-

Beans with mole??? Pocho detected....

@@shadowtronik actually, it’s s a very common practice to have mole con arroz y frijoles. Mole is not just one thing, and there are many different ways to serve it. Watch the video again.

I know they expect her to do all this work to make dishes just.for the end shot.

Tommy Tucker’s Golden Crown ese canal tambien esta chido

Fabiola nevarez verdad que si👍me recuerda a mi Abuelita...bien siemple de corazo ✌️

she's a Proffesional chef and like most chefs do they overcomplicate everything but i agree its not fucking rocket science, its mole. 😂

I made her mole. Really simple and BOMB! But it made waaaaay more than I thought. I had mole for weeks haha

Tommy Tucker’s Golden Crown nobody cares about that stupid channel ese

You wouldn’t understand you don’t get this culture you shouldn’t speak on it if you’re not Mexican but let me add even more if you’re not part of a people’s culture don’t speak on that culture at all because you simply don’t know and have no right to preach about something you don’t know. Pinche Guera

@@Noah-jk8go Proved his point

@@Legocy4K There is no point "teaching" a culture if they're gonna do it the wrong way, people need to respect cultures.

@@caseynivans7885 agreed

@@caseynivans7885 There’s a wrong way of showing food. That’s if the base of the cuisine is far off like Rachael Rays disgusting plate. This video is not too far off and used ingredients for the base correctly . Just because it’s not what your mom makes, it is not wrong.

Real Mexican Food Shouldn't Give You Diarrhea same

Same!

😂😂😂😂

I literally watch these videos for the history and funny comments....we all know abuela makes it better or that lil ol lady from that youtube channel that makes all these recipes from her ranch...and ends with "asi como ami me gusta". From my ranch to your kitchen, she is legit. 😂😂😂

scrapefrenzy Yo her channel is bomb! She’s such a sweetheart.

I'm pissed too, but then she'd have to talk about the rice and chicken...🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️🤔🤔

Weak! how does this show how Hispanic culture to it's full potential. BTW mole is complex.

Bro you should've seen her face in the Thumbnail💀

She’s showing that mole is so gud u don’t need all that extra stuff

Not like every place in Mexico uses rice and beans

yulisa ojeda I was thinking the same thing.

yulisa ojeda frr

cook it yourself, damn

Mole is just the sauce...Mole con pollo is mole and chicken. She's teaching you how to make mole.

You don’t have to eat it with chicken. That’s just the most popular way to eat it. I looove it in chilaquiles

selina suhr just wanted to see her fk this one up

@@jaliscopow6814 it's doesn't even look that bad

@@SharkyLoreOfficial Yes!

@@alifeintransition9782 how can mole look bad it's just a brown color lol

Mole comes from the indigenous natives of oaxaca

I'm of Mexican heritage, grew up eating molé from all regions of Mexico. But Indian & Asian curries & sauces are kick ass delicious as well! Their version of Molé

Whenever you wanna go molé searching hit up the marved team !

Indian cuisine does good things with spices too. Why even compare?

Broo I love those!

Cesar Mendoza yo those are my fave and i don’t even like tamales lol

Just say chicken mole tamales

Your co-workers dont know tasty tamales!

If its doña Maria or other crap then no

Dude, no offense but I am not saying your hamburger is an American Sandwich. A hamburger is a hamburger. A mole is a mole. And curry is curry. They are all delicious but don't generalize that much.

Fr tho damn

Dude was just saying mole and curry are similar

lmao 😂

Man, have you ever tried mole negro from Oaxaca? Like that's the KING of mole.

ABlindRabbit it’s not the best. TRUST ME

@Ana Francisca Z How could u. Mole verde is the weird but lovable sibling that gives something different and refreshing to the family.

@@Eden14Isaiah I've tried both, man. I guess it's up to tastes. Personally I like the bitterness and less sweet notes of mole negro. Still I LOVE all moles. Even mole de olla, though I'm not sure it's actually a mole.

Oaxaca beats all Puebla moles easy.

Hystercia I just wanted to let you know that I thought I was getting a peanut allergy... I don’t know your story but my doctor thought I was growing a peanut allergy Because I would be in severe severe pain after eating them and then I spoke with the dietitian and she told me to soak my nuts overnight because it releases Pactin (might be saying that wrong) and anyway it’s worked I’m able to eat peanuts only if they’re completely smooth like I have to blend them smooth- crunchy peanut butter oh my God I will end up in the hospital but thought that might help but again maybe won’t help because maybe you have a true allergy-I mean I would just make it without the peanuts Oh and sidenote I’ve tried this with almonds and other real tree nuts It didn’t work and so those are still on my no list which is crazy considering I’ve and eaten those my entire life, but it is what it is Additional sidenote I do this with my beans- making sure to throw away the water that it has been soaking in and I add a pinch of baking soda to make the water more alkaline. - I’ve had luck with the fast boil too. so I’ll boil it really quick Throw out the water and then use it however I need it to be prepared

quarkquak right !

She’s an idiot

Ikr she doesn’t even know what she is talking about to be Mexican there’s is much more to it then what she is talking about

She’s a whitetina.. straight up white washed. If y’all wanna see real ass recipes lemme put y’all on with this sweet ass grandma on RU-vid her channel is called “De Mi Rancho a Tu Cocina”!

@@N.B.007 i love that lady! Made some bombbbbbbb food with her.

I've always pronounced it "móle".

Just Some Guy without a Mustache we meet again

Yeah, no. Accent on th first syllable.

No it is mole without accent mark. Mole (spanish) and mole (english) have the same typography but different meanings.

In italian, avocado is avocado. Same shit but you will not write it as ávócádó just so anglophones can read it properly. Blasphemy.

she wasn't referring to the quantity of mole but the number of things on the plate: just a tortilla and the mole.

Kristian Sacco I shouldn’t be laughing this hard 🤣 sorry

Mexican secret is you use Doña Maria mole and add 1 tbs peanut butter and some abuela chocolate and follow directions on glass....😂😂😂😂 True story.

Toasting all the seeds and spices is another big way to fuck up too. Like if they get over toasted they become bitter. Most likely thing wrong if bitter

Oh Sharon

For years I thought my mom made it from scratch, till I got married and asked for the recipe I was ready to write like 4 pages of intricate ingredients....she goes "no mensa, nomas uso Doña Maria y le pongo mas chocolate y peanut butter, y no le pongas agua, ponle chicken broth" I was done😳😳...kinda mad, and yes it tastes freaking good. 😂😂😂💔💔🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️

Like I never noticed all them glass cups....😂😂😂🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

Eeww your havent tried mole yet so sad

Eww i can't unsee this 🤣
