what is the name of the green liquid please?

[@JoeBlack-cw1yv]

Does that batch make a half or full large silver party tray? I plan to make some for an event? How do you make the pandan juice?

[@meeliving1345]

Hi Joe, this recipe batch makes 1 big foil tray up to the rim of the tray. I used frozen pandan leaves. Wash leaves well and cut into 1/2 inch and put it in the blender. Add water to the blender and blend it for a few minutes. Then filter for the juice.

Your banana looks un-ripe. Is it better to use an unripe banana for this recipe?

[@MrsYang-dp2ds]

Thank you for sharing this recipe. Can you share if there is a difference in taste between this method you used and the method where raw sticky rice is boiled in coconut milk syrup first before wrapped and steamed? I

[@janelaughbaum8265]

I'd like to know as well thx

[@Lovecookies01]

Hello! Did you fully cooked through rice first or do you want thr rice to drill be a little hard.. like half way cooked before adding in the syrup?

[@meeliving1345]

Yes, if you can follow me video demonstration. I cooked the rice first then add the sugar and coconut liquid then wrap it.

[@vangthao5276]

Also can i wrap night before and then steam next day? If so should i refrigerate overnight? Also can I also wrap and then freeze for future use? And steam for a future event?

[@meeliving1345]

Yes, you can wrap the night before and put it in the refrigerator and steam the next day. For a future event, you ca wrap it and freeze it. On the day of event, bring a pot of water to boil, take the rice cakes frozen from the freezer and put it in the steamer and steam. Do not thaw. It has to be steamed frozen to retain its freshness.

[@Ru4444]

Do i really need to wrap in banana leaves? I can not find them in my town.. ☹️

[@laoyang3383]

Would you be able to use a microphone to record because we can't really hear you.

[@meeliving1345]

Hi Lao, I did use a microphone but I think my microphone is poor quality and does not have good volume. I will work on to get better microphone. Thanks for the feedback.

Just curious, why did you steam it in the garage? Does it smell?

[@meeliving1345]

Hi, I steam in the garage with the garage door open. This big pot is too big to steam in my kitchen.

[@melindavang92]

Can I freeze the banana in the freezer and can this make a full tray or half tray?

[@meeliving1345]

Yes, you can freeze in the freezer for future use. This recipe makes half a tray.

[@normoua6165]

How many cups of rice did you use.

[@meeliving1345]

Hi Nor, in this recipe, I used 8 cups of short grain sticky rice to soak.

[@teresaly278]

Where does one get pandan juice

[@meeliving1345]

Hi Teresa, pandan juice comes in 2 forms. You can get pandan juice in the can at the Asian grocery stores. Or the othe form is making fresh pandan juice from its leaves. I will share a video this weekend of how to make fresh pandan juice from the leaves.

[@niampog5587]

How many cups of rice do you use?

[@meeliving1345]

Hi Niam Pog, in this recipe, I use 8 cups of rice.

[@vangthao5276]

How long do you boil the banana leaves?

[@meeliving1345]

I keep water in the pot boiling and only boil each batch of the leaves for about a minute. Then rinse it and pat dry with paper towel.

[@wolverinex4243]

If you can speak English, do so. I was gonna say why do you have English titles when you do Hmong speaking? I practically grew up in America and my English is not as good as yours in terms of accent..Lol. My English is good. My accent is makes me laugh when I hear it on recording. I never thought I have an accent until I listen to my recording. I find that to be very funny. Your English is awesome for someone your age. Just wanna say the video is great. Your English is great and explained well. I wanna also say this is the Asian tamales. And I wanted to learn the meat verson like this so I can modify it. My mother always do it without the meat and I hate them.

[@meeliving1345]

Hi Wolverine, thanks for your suggestion. My previous videos I spoke both Hmong and English but have decided to just going to speak English going forward. I use English titles for all of videos because writing in Hmong for the titles would be more lengthy than writing in English. Yes, I will plan to do this cakes with meat in the future. Thanks for watching.

[@maivnkaujlis]

Can I make it without the pandan Juice?

[@meeliving1345]

Yes, absolutely! You can make it without pandan juice. Pandan juice is just my personal preference.

[@danielaearthmum]

I didn't understand what type of juice can go into the mix.

[@meeliving1345]

Hello, the juice consists of coconut milk, water, sugar and salt mixing together and cook in a pot until all sugar has been melted. This is the liquid to be added to the steamed rice.

[@maoyang4056]

Can you make these two or three days ahead of of time?

[@meeliving1345]

Hi Mao, you can make this a few weeks ahead of time to prepare for a big event. Just make the cakes as I showed on the video here. Let it cool completely after you steam the cakes, then put the cool cakes in the freezer bags to freeze. On the morning of your event, bring the water in the pot to boil, and take the frozen cakes right from the freezer and lay it on the steamer and steam for 30 minutes. Let it cool and plate on the platter to serve as appetizers. It will taste just as delicious as from freshly make.
