COOK & EAT WITH FAYE | HOW TO MAKE FA'AUSI TARO

Hello Guys! Hopefully, all is well on your side of the world. I made a special dish today. It's a Samoan Taro dessert that Samoans, would eat only on special occasions such a To'ana'i (Sunday lunch) But you can make it anytime you want. I searched all over the internet for a recipe for FA'AUSI TARO & there is nothing on the internet. Until Now!
There is the easier version Fa'ausi but not TARO FA'AUSI.
So now, you can learn from the one that I have made on this video & enjoy it, just as I did. Take care guys & God Bless
Recipe: Taro, Plain flour, Coconut cream, Raw sugar
Follow step by step on the video.Add milk to sooth the caramel sugar sauce.

Hello my name is Mu Mamea I’m from Temecula California in the USA... Thank you I’ve been trying to figure out how to make it. I really luv watching ur videos and learning how to cook some of these favorite Samoan dishes... I miss eating all my favorite Samoan food. We have Samoan stores here but, the food it just doesn’t taste the same as my mom would’ve cooked it. Unfortunately both my parents passed away and is with our Heavenly Father I wishe I would’ve learn how to cook all theses amazing food. So thank you for your teaching me and making these awesome food! Keep making more videos you are by far my favorite one to watch! Thank you, thank you and god bless you and your aiga! Alofa atu 💙

[@jereykobalt8874]

I was in Pago back in the day and the boys/men (friends) from the village would make Fa'ausi during special holidays or Aiga to'ana'i. It was made of grated taro or Green papaya and coconut milk. Then wrapped in banana leaves and baked in the umu. They burnt sugar on the heated rocks from the umu, dipped and stir the rock into coconut milk for the sauce. It's the BEST thing ever. Another delicious thing they did with leftover grated taro and coconut milk mix was pour them in empty grated coconut shells and baked them in the umu. It was faiai talo.. like pikaki, but with taro.. I remember it very well... Great video.

[@MissNacirema]

Same here. I cant manage to keep my plants alive. Luckily my mom loves gardening so she usually takes over. Lol

[@fayevids7391]

I think we’re not cut out to look after plants haha Some people are better at that though 😃👍🏼

[@saivatiaamuimuia8657]

Hi Faye 🙂 always looking forward to watch your videos love those samoan food my kids like it alot 👌 even though they were born here or nz they love their island food 👍❤

[@fayevids7391]

Kids grow up enjoying their island food because it’s what they’re use to eating. My kids would have been in love with Island food too, but their Kuki dad always bought them take away when they’ll ask for it... 🤦🏻‍♀️ So when I cook Island food the older ones enjoy it sometimes but the younger ones looks and complain.. aoooo who do they think they are?! 😂😂😫

[@aleluiapase2461]

[@MissNacirema]

My most favourite Samoan dessert. Im here for it

[@fayevids7391]

Awesome 👏🏼🥰

[@paulpowell2321]

The way I do it. I peel the taro then cut it. Wash it with water then put it in a foil then roasted for hour and a half. After that take the foil off and put the roasted taro in a ulo pour water in it then boil it until it cook. Drain the water live it for a while until it dry while I prepare the burning sugar with condensed milk. While I'm waiting for the sugar and condensed milk to reach boiling point. I cut up the taro into small cubes then put in the bowl and and the sugar and condensed milk cream with it .Stir it together and ready to serve with ice cream

[@thisisgenofeve]

I’ve never tried that before. That looks so good 👌🏽 I’m going to show my husband & ask him to make it for me 😂 hope you guys have been well ♥️♥️♥️

[@fayevids7391]

Hi Gen! What a pleasant surprise. ❤️ If your dear husband makes it. You will only need a small/medium taro. The flour one will be good. Only bake it for an hour and a bit. Turning half way during baking. And you’ll be fine. 😃👌🏼👌🏼 Sending love to you and your family there. God Bless always 💕💕

If so maybe you can show us your version, my favourite flavours are banana, pumpkin, bread, cabin bread and I’ve also tried peach, carrots and kumara too.

[@fayevids7391]

Dalmeny, I have never made Poke. My husband has though. Nice the best but he eats it himself 😊 I go to the Island shops near by and buy it. I love the poke they sell in Raro. So yummy pumpkin, bread & banana oh and pawpaw too Those ladies are champs at making it. If I ever know how to make it.. I’ll make it. God willing 💗👍🏼 But Thank you for watching.. Take care and stay safe. ❤️❤️

Yummmy i want to try making this. It looks like the one my ex boyfriends mum use to make and this maori girl loves it

[@laaughost]

Aunty, I’m pretty sure e kukusa a ma le faausi maukegi. You have to cook it first (grated makes it easier to then mash and mix with the flour and coconut cream once cooked) then Kao like a fa’apåpā and baaaam.

Ooh I have never heard of this before Faye, it looks good, I’d love to try that one day. I have to mention that I have a beautiful surprise, one that has shocked me and my family. I had nothing to alert me, no symptoms what so ever, just some bloating snd female issues. I’m pregnant! 27.4 weeks and due mid July 🤭😱😍 another baby girl, yes it’s true, you can be pregnant and not know 🙏🏼 I found out Monday.

[@fayevids7391]

Congratulations are in order... wow wee. That’s beautiful news. My niece, was pregnant all the way to her seventh month. (Without knowing) She was always told by doctors that she couldn’t have babies. So she always thought that she wouldn’t. But my mum didn’t let Doctors deprive her granddaughter of being a mother and my mum would always ask God to bless her grandchild with her own baby. God answered my mums prayers and blessed my niece with 2 blessings and you having yours too Angie. Congratulations once again 💕💕💕
