WHERE TO BUY A CENDOL PRESS: Where to get one? Check your local Thai or Lao grocery store. You can also purchase one online. Type in Cendol press or a Lod Chong press to find one We got ours at our local Thai market.
MUNG BEAN STARCH can be found at most Asian grocery store, ONLINE, and most Korean market also sells them. Any brand will work.
WHAT IF I CAN'T FIND FRESH PANDAN LEAVES? I suggest starting with 2 tsp of pandan extract/flavoring and work your way up to 1 Tbsp. You can more or less if you notice it's too strong or not strong enough in terms of taste and color.

My name is Cindy Her and I have been cooking and baking for quite a long time now! Hmong food culture and tradition is dear to my heart and I wanted to keep our roots intact somewhere. So this is why I started this channel to keep me and you connected to the Hmong culture. I hope you all learn a little bit about the Hmong food culture and try out these recipes! As always, happy cooking :)

My Grandma used to make this for me when I was a kid (she was Indonesian and pronounced it Chen-dohl) and I used to call it 'that green booger drink' because I couldn't remember the name but I loved how it tasted (not like boogers, though). I never did get her recipe, though, so thank you so much for posting this! We love to make Fragrant Rice at home using Pandan (pahn-dahn), Lemongrass and Coconut Milk. So good! I'm going to make some Ice Cendol drink for my mom using your recipe.

[@edamouavang]

Can’t wait to try. I love how you break the steps down and it’s easy to follow. My sister and I hated doing this for my mom when we were young. I have a whole new appreciation for those who could make it now that I’m older. Even though we made it many times with her, we never mastered it. I love how the recipe is measured out. Haha. Not random pot and finger measuring.

[@karenhitchens3563]

Thanks so much for teaching us to make this delicious dessert! ❤

[@raqueleherrera7176]

[@k-easy2389]

Been living in Australia for too long I actually forgotten about this delicious dessert. 😭

[@BroncosVsVikings]

I tried another even more simple recipe using bot banh gio and it did not come out smoothly. I had all the ingredients as Cindy's except for the fresh pandan leaves so I followed everything else and it came out BEAUTIFULLY. Thank you!!!!

[@gnarfish5555]

OMG!! I've been eating Cendol growing up in Thailand. I didn't know it was called cendol. Thank you so much for the recipe!! Love it!!

[@SamanthaSweetAnne]

In Thailand it's called Lod Chong. LOD = THROUGH, CHONG = SPACE/TUNNEL

[@memeuuhang5443]

I’ll have to try this version. Your first version I lived by it. So I cannot wait to use this next time I make them.

[@chamroeunlim5808]

Wow this looks AMAZING!!!!!!!!

[@KRCOOKING]

Wow 👌

[@SamanthaSweetAnne]

I ate this as a child when this lady would make the "green worms" as I would call it. Thai people call it Lod Chong. Lod = through / straw and chong = space of the tiny holes.

[@MLLL1234]

Love the recipe!!! Love the video!!!!

[@mayhoe6612]

Thank you for sharing. Yes, this recipe seems easier. I'll try it. It's funny how your mom calls the dough a tail. We also call it a mouse's tail 😂. We're from different countries. 😂

[@CookingwithAti8740]

Amazing looks 💕💕💕💕💕

[@Americandreamsurvivor]

beautiful and yummy

[@nailfortuna]

Can I replace some of the water with coconut milk? And does this recipe make the cendol firm and jelly like, or more on the soft side?

[@queenmamabear5812]

Wait What?!?!?! I've never Heard of mung bean starch before!!!!!!!! I've never seen this made before OMG WOWWWW Insane I've been watching so many cooking videos for years and idk about mung bean starch only paste and the actual mung bean Very Cool!!!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@kasmahirah713]

You can also use rice flour. It is more delious than mung bean starch. This is Indonesian culinary

[@thanomchithkeorajavongsay5047]

Thank you for the great recipe. However how do you make your strings skinny? I have the same size holes as your presser.

[@nerimanalgul3792]

I have no idea how its taste but I really really want to eat. Unfortunatly in my country we dont have pandan and that flour.

[@mangher5202]

Your dad is so cool! Let him design all your cooking utensils! Miss you guys.

[@amandadrew6861]

[@kamarjhanabdulaziz7675]

I cant find Mug bean starch..Can you suggest replacement similar.

[@wendychou7448]

You make the good cendol😀

[@nathanpathma3529]

It is pronounced as Chendol.

[@sukhakamat8650]

Hello Ms. Cher. I am wondering if we can replace arrow root flour or water chest nut flour if mung bean flour are not available at home.

[@karynvon195]

Is it soft and have texture to hold up its shape?

[@HaibTshajHaib]

Does it get hard overnight in the fridge?

[@DFV02]

Looking for this answer too. I know another recipe using just mung beans, the cendol gets hard the next day.

[@heidicao9629]

Can I replace the mung bean starch with tapioca starch instead? Please let me know, thank you!

[@schang4458]

If we cannot find pandan leaves, substitute that for approximately 1 tablespoon of the pandan extract?

[@CHerCreations]

Yes. You can more or less if you notice it's too strong or not strong enough in terms of taste and color. I suggest starting with 2 tsp and work your way up.

[@schang4458]

@@CHerCreations thank you for sharing your knowledge! I have everything in my pantry to make this tonight 🙂

[@CHerCreations]

@@schang4458 let me know if it works for you.

[@schang4458]

@@CHerCreations will do!

[@melissaa4918]

I though this dessert only exist in Indonesia, i was wrong 😄

[@annalee0208]

Using mung bean starch, it will make the cendor hard and not good for over night. Incase if use only use table spoon.

[@tabbykathy8119]

thanks for the video! BUt Why do many other channels use different flours, also some people mixed the flours?? What is the best type ? IM so confused lol

[@queenmamabear5812]

Hi hello First off Your Beautiful, 2nd was just about to ask what pandan taste like. You said grassy vanilla LOL I'm intrigued Hugs and Prayers 🥰🙏🥰🙏🥰🙏🥰🙏🥰🙏 I ordered some Sweet rice flour so I can make mochi I'M EXCITED 🤣🤣🤣 CAN'T WAIT To make some Crazy Things!!!!!🥰🙏🥰🙏🥰🙏🥰🙏🥰🙏🥰

[@tbngo9630]

Can l use tapioca starch instead mung bean starch. Thank you

[@itran888]

You said it can be stored in water in fridge but will it still stay chewy?

[@aranyat7459]

Where do you buy that at ?? The pusher

[@iBlon2me]

I need a backyard tour please

[@shakunvashisht342]

JUST SAW YOUR VIDEO. MUNG BEAN STARCH IS SAME AS THE POWDER? WE, IN INDIA GET THE MUNG BEAN POWDER{ THE BEANS ARE GROUND}

[@tunlai]

I some people uses Tapioca starch. Can you tell me what is the different between Tapioca starches Mung bean starch??

[@CHerCreations]

Tapioca starch creates more of a chewier texture whereas mung bean is more firm.

[@OunMang-nv3wq]

How about water ?

[@mayhoe6612]

6.5 cups of water in total

[@lizchong888]

It's supposed to be pronounced as like 'jen-dol' not 'sen-dol'. Somehow yr recipe looks nicer, like those springy texture which yrs look like that. Others many r quite floury texture. Gonna try out yrs.

[@bahchekng5157]

👍👏👏👏

[@itran888]

How long can this cendol sit in water before it becomes soft and soggy?

[@CHerCreations]

2-3 days. Using mung bean starch helps stabilize it in the water

[@chlmari]

Could you make the eggplant with pork recipe? When I was younger kuv tus niam tais made this with mob nplaum

[@dibadiba7640]

now I found your cendol.

[@istiarti7188]

Cendol 😀😀😀

[@shanerlon]

Can I use pandan leaves that are in strips (similar to lemongrass leaves) since I don't have whole leaves? If so, how many should I use? Thanks and I love all your videos!

[@CHerCreations]

If you have a scale weigh it to 120grams

[@Jennifer-xy8lw]

Why did mine turn out so soft and mushy 😭

[@CHerCreations]

You probably need to cook it longer. Make sure it’s completely cooled in ice water when pressing it through before eating or else it’ll be mushy.

[@Jennifer-xy8lw]

@@CHerCreations I cooked it until it was translucent :( will it solidify in the fridge over time?

[@CHerCreations]

@@Jennifer-xy8lw when did you eat it? Did you let it cool completely or was it still warm? It should of solidify in the ice water.

[@Jennifer-xy8lw]

I just tried a bit out of the ice water ....it’s now in the fridge lol hoping it’ll get harder

[@CHerCreations]

@@Jennifer-xy8lw yeah wait an hr or so and see how it is. Mung bean flour sets up quick so if it’s still mushy, I’m not sure what happened. Let me know

[@hengyuchoo875]

It is pronounced as chendol not sendol...🤦‍♂️

[@CHerCreations]

Thanks!! And noted 👍
