C/w Nana: Lao Steamed Buns (ກະ​ລາ​ເປົ໋າ == Kalapao)

[@TheWoebegoneJackal]

Its good to see someone not falling for the media misinformation and still cook with msg.

[@fauxmanchu8094]

TheWoebegoneJackal I agree. It's mostly ignorant westerners who are scared of everything and yet eat tons of junk food. Pizzas and ham which they eat a lot of, are cancer causing but they are ignorant about that as well. Not to mention a lot of their food is toxic GMO.

[@beautifypanhia]

Finally got the chance to make these and my whole family now thinks that I'm a pro because they turned out delicious! Thank you for this amazing recipe! 😘

[@ThangThang617]

Looks sooo yummy! I've never seen a video recipe for this before and it's one of my favorite things to eat. Thanks so much for taking time to make and share with us Nana!

[@livingwithplants6043]

Your just awesome. I’m thai but don’t know how to cook Asian food at all. Since I have been watching your videos I started to learn how to cook, I get so excited when my hubby and son taste test and they gave my the thumbs up. If only my mom and oldest sister can see me now that I’m cooking hopefully their watching me from heaven.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@DarLingU78]

Thx for sharing this recipe Nana. I've never seen self rising flour. Looks easier than the store bought packages. I gotta give it a try. It took all day for me to prep and cook without any help and all gone in a blink if an eye when it was done. So yummy! Love your channel. Keep the recipes coming. I would love to see your version of dome kem( caramelized pork and hard boiled egg) Thx!

[@LesterLaoagan]

In the Philippines we call the steamed dish "Siopao". We have two versions of filling the "Asado" which is very similar to this & the "Bola-Bola" just remove the fungus & egg. We also have two versions of cooking the traditional one steamed & the "'tostado" which is baked in oven. Then eat the siopao with caramel & soy sauce mixed & cooked together as a sauce.

[@malivahnbrunnette1910]

I made this, and it was delicious!!! Thank you, Nana! 🇰🇭

[@kahhnah]

Thank you for your delicious easy recipe. I made mine really simple. I only used ground pork, green onion, oyster sauce, soy sauce, salt, black pepper, and eggs. Super delicious!

[@iluvmakeupnhair]

I can't wait to make this dish for my family. Thank you Euy Nana for making amazing Laotion dishes. you're amazing and I will continue following you and referring you to my friends. Just wanted to let you know I'm touti's cousin from San Diego. I watch you all the time. I hope you're feeling better euy Nana. I'll be praying for you to have better health. Sok dee pi Mai!

[@CookingwithNana]

iluvmakeupnhair I can't wait to hear how it turns out for you and Thanks for your prayers. I saw Touti over the weekend and will see her again next weekend. :)

[@finn264]

My grandmother made these for me all the time as a kid!

[@leanaella5124]

Woohoo I have been waiting for this video! Thank you nana! 🙏😘

[@flyintheointment]

I love these, I never knew what they were called but they sold them at an Asian grocery store, right at the counter. They were the size of a softball, really good. It had all these same ingredients, so it must have been a Laotian market. I always thought it was Vietnamese or Cambodian thing. I also used to buy a stuffed banana leave or some kind of a leave filled with sticky rice and meat, I loved that! This is a lot of work to make! Great video!

[@willyjimmy8881]

Is from China originally called bao xi. Is also in Japan and most asian countries with their own version. Korean bbq style is my favorite.

[@joyous8248]

Just was telling my mom I wanted to tempt to make this .. & I’m goin to follow your recipe .. ty auntie for sharing 🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@owenadorer]

KZbin is my crack thanks to you ;) I watch all your videos with my mom, & we just made these without green onions & unsweetened almond milk instead of milk that we didn't have. My mom's old & sick & she forgot how to make the dough until she watched your video, & she snuck in the chinese sausage by slicing it thinner. Also can use 2 teaspoons of baking powder with every cup of flour instead of self-rising flour. Anyway you'd want to make a quick & easy dish of chicken feet or dom kim pretty please lol High fives from Vancouver

[@CookingwithNana]

+Carpediem I have the chicken feet salad (Cooking with Nana: Yum Teen Ghai (ຍຳຕີນໄກ່ == Lao Chicken Feet Salad)) but not Tom Khem yet.

[@tWiNKLeSiMLE]

Omg I loved this recipe!!! It’s easy to remember and doesn’t take so much steps. Thank you so much for sharing and my family love everything about it! 💕😋

[@csruehle0507]

ThankYou Eih Nana for your Galapao recipe. I made it last night for the first time and boy did it turned out great! My whole family loved it and they can’t wait to have some more today. 🥰🤩🔥👍🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏

[@CookingwithNana]

csruehle0507 that’s great to hear. Thanks for sharing your experience

[@kjllk4000]

Please list the ingredients soon! Do you think you can make a bbq version of it or have a recipe for it. I used to love the ones with the sweet red bbq meat inside too!

[@laddasounthala]

I made this today. It came out very good! I added bean vermicelli to mines! Thank you for your videos!

[@kvanng92]

I've tried many bun recipes and yours is the best by far! Thank you for sharing

[@dharmagirl28]

you made it cooked easy. i love salapao , thank you.

[@khouxiong7187]

I've tried other recipes and this one is the easiest to do and success every time. Thank you for sharing.

[@kristinajay]

That ring tho its so sparkly 💍👰🏻❤

[@jaemily1000]

I love these buns. When I worked in Alaska the cook in the kitchen always made them for me because I loved them so much. Great video. I had to smile as the first bun you made sitting there when you made the second bun looked like a little old man. I will try this recipe and let you know how it turns out. One question, no fish sauce? or did I miss that in the recipe.

[@chouasaeteurn8116]

How much oil did you use for the dough?

[@thaizsweetz]

You can add crisco to your hands so the dough does not stick to your hand. I can't wait to make it !!

[@littlekittle7387]

Laos kalapow.is hella good comfort food cheers

[@kimboutakha7977]

I love watching your how to cook Lao food. Thank you

[@Emily-ln6om]

I enjoyed making these with my friends, they turned out delicious! You are so sweet and made this experience fun and enjoyable! Cant wait to see what else you have on your page for me to make next!

[@CookingwithNana]

Emily thank you for your comment. I have lots of videos on my channel but haven’t made new ones recently. I hope to make more soon.

[@cocamelonsurvivors1948]

TY sis Nana. I made it a few days ago and it tastes amazing.

[@CookingwithNana]

great, glad you liked it.

[@Soundfulmusik]

OMG, I can eat like 10 of these bad boys on a good day, it’s my favorite food in the whole world since childhood, it brings back so much good memories for me. Thank you so much Nana for teaching me how to make my favorite delicious dish. Going to try this for sure but instead of the regular chicken eggs, I like it with quail eggs...mmm yummy!!! 😋

[@MaiYia-Vang]

Nana, you are my inspiration! Thank you making these wonderful video!

[@CookingwithNana]

+Mai Yia Vang, Glad you enjoy my videos.

[@MyLily_M]

Mmmm...it looks yummy!, thanks for sharing yr video n I need to cook it as soon as possible.

[@msstephaniexiong]

It looks so delicious. When u were eating it, my mouth was salivating. Yummy.

[@CookingwithNana]

+steph-x, try to make it yourself. not very hard.

[@imChanthip]

How many buns did you end up making with one dough batch? I ended up with 9 big ones and 6 smaller ones. With a lot of egg, Chinese sausage, and stuffing mixture leftover. I think I messed up :(

[@CookingwithNana]

Chanthip, from each dough batch, I make about 30. I think you made your dough too thick. but how does it taste after you steamed it?

[@imChanthip]

Cooking with Nana first batch, I didn't make quite as many as you did but the second I made about 26, I cut down on the sugar on the second batch as well. My steamer is the really big ones so I had to double my steam time too. Tasted good, thank you pba!

[@vedasdodds8383]

Sweet. I'm in front of the white mk7 gti vw :p great video. Wish I had the camera backwards to film you. Lol

[@makeupworld]

Love your channel

[@ManaamTarot916]

Dangit I really wanted to make this :-( ..I don't use milk white sugar or Wheat flour ..Can I sub any of this with coconut milk palm sugar and rice flour ?

[@CookingwithNana]

Tiffaney Siriouthay you can try searching for other recipes for the buns and just use my stuffing recipe. You can use water instead of milk. I've never tried palm sugar and rice flour for the bun.

[@WELOVEFUN611]

You are a good cooker.I like it I will try someday.

[@metasimplelife8027]

Thanks for the awesome recipe. My family loves it.

[@CookingwithNana]

Meta Chhom You're welcome. Thanks for trying it and for the feedback.

[@Carnation1982]

How much oil did you add to the dry ingredients? Also, how long do you knead your dough once it is mixed with the milk? I've tried kneading by hand and with a Kitchen Aid but it doesn't have an elastic texture to it. It looks like cookie dough only. What am I doing wrong?

[@Ctrankhoa]

Hi Nana Did you put vinegar in the water to make the bun white ?

[@pongkham143]

We miss your cooking

[@pickledpickles8553]

My mom makes thesesometimes i love them~

[@britxvii98]

Instead of pork, can I use beef? Or chicken?

[@lOVEiiNtHeAiir]

Instead of powder sugar can I just use regular sugar?

[@CookingwithNana]

lOVEiiNtHeAiir I might have said it too fast or to softly in the video, but you can use regular sugar instead of powdered sugar.

[@CookingwithNana]

Oops, I just watched that part of the video and realized I didn't mention about using regular sugar instead of powder sugar.

[@Leea209]

Is the milk cold or room temperature

[@keith2o9]

will the stuffing still have the same texture in the Kalapao if i cook the stuffing ahead of time and do you recommend it?

[@CookingwithNana]

Kee Lee If you cook the stuffing ahead of time, you will not be able to shape it as easy as the uncooked one when you wrap the dough. You can try cooking a little of the stuffing to see for yourself.

[@thefuzzypenguin778]

How do you know the pork will be cooked enough from the steaming??????

[@shirleystone4379]

TheFuzzyPenguin it cooks perfectly!

[@bubbathefelon]

are you speaking Thia?

[@CookingwithNana]

besides English, I'm speaking Lao.

[@deesong6722]

Msg is never “optional”...tastes better with it...

[@LeenaNalybaby]

Nana I just made that today and my buns are white & fluffy like yours ;((( what did u do wrong???

[@CookingwithNana]

Leena Naly I replied to your message on FB. I hope you got the kalapao fluffier. I don't worry too much about the whiteness. Some people say add vinegar to the boiling water to make the dough whiter, but that doesn't work for me.You have to use flour that doesn't have too much gluten if you want it super white.

[@amyli9191]

Can u use 2% milk ?

[@connoudomparamy7009]

Thank you...make me hungry now...

[@SwTBbGrl99]

Love watching your videos!! I know you made a video for Kao poon chicken but can you do one for fish Kao poon? I know some ppl who do it, the fish still has a strong smell and doesn't taste as good. Thanks

[@CookingwithNana]

SwTBbGrl99 I have a video for "khaopun nam jeo" which uses fish, but if you want it the same style as the khao pun nam ghai (with coconut milk), you can just substitute fish for the chicken. I will add this to my list of videos to do, but I don't know when I'll get to it.

[@tonyduchemin8584]

Try it now, your receipt if simple Perfect mmmhhh Have put my experience through facebook :-)

[@Littlefrogintheocean]

Do you use yeast at all?

[@CookingwithNana]

no, I don't use any yeast

[@phatkatz1-4-12]

Hi, I would like to ask a question, why does my buns turns out flat after proofing or steaming? Please help and thank you!

[@CookingwithNana]

Phatkatz 1-4-1 sorry that it hard to say without actually seeing how you did it

[@phatkatz1-4-12]

Cooking with Nana thank you for the reply. I did like you what you showed on the video. Is it because of the flour? Or maybe it’s not kneaded well. 😊

[@noipatterson2288]

Hi Nana, I tried making kalabao tonight and the meat taste great! But the dough is not white & fluffy like yours.

[@CookingwithNana]

Noi Patterson did you use the same brand of flour as I used? At least you got the most important part -- the taste. Did you allow the dough to sit a bit before stuffing?

[@bubbathefelon]

like char siu bao ?

[@CookingwithNana]

yes, similar to the Chinese BBQ pork bun, but different flavoring and the meat is not as chunky.

[@etiksriwahyuni5120]

Too much milk. It was too sticky I tried this and I had to add at least another cup and half of flour

Thank you so much for posting this video!! I grew up eating this and my mom has shown me her way of making this. I made it for the first time by myself last Sunday and everyone loved it. We ran out quick lol. Thanks again for sharing with us all of your wonderful cooking videos. You're awesome!! :)

[@aileensmith1626]

1 cup each powdered sugar and regular sugar seem a lot for 4 cups flour. Is it not too sweet??? Can one lessen the sugar to half cup each???????

[@CookingwithNana]

Aileen Smith it's not that sweet when it's done. You also have 1-1/2 cups of milk in the dough mix. You barely taste the sugar.
