C/w Nana: Lao Steamed Chicken in Banana Leaf (ໝົກໄກ່ == Mok Ghai)

[@Nick-rn3ei]

Nana, I've married and my family are spread apart in the U.S and we don't get together as much as when I was little and I miss all the food my Grandma used to make. But I just wanted to thank you for the videos! All the food you make just reminds me of when I was little and all your videos will help me bring back all the great food I ate with my family sitting together on the floor enjoying the food!

[@csruehle0507]

I’m so grateful for all of your Laotian food videos!! Thank you for sharing! I rewatch all of them as needed whenever I want Laotian food and when I missed my mom. Kaughb jai der eih Nana!! 🥰🤩🔥🙏🙏🙏

[@WitchyVibez]

'Khob Chai' ... Thank you so much for making this video. My children are part Laos and Thai from X side & since divorce have been trying to make dishes from their other half culture so they know about it and learn to like the food as well. I have been looking for about 6 years how to make this dish. Never asked Google the right question. Just stumbled across your video today. Thank you again. Khob Chai , mi mu thidi

[@sophielaurenti8846]

[@dharmagirl28]

Nana , you live in usa or Laos ? for the mok ghai . i like so much. i buy at market and eat with sticky rice. delicious.

[@CookingwithNana]

I live at in Merced, California.

[@THEOUTLAWS209]

Can you steam it without banana leaf?

[@PhetnalyParis]

ວິທີແຕ່ງກິນອະທິບາຍໃດ້ດີ ແຕ່ຜູ້ທີ່ບໍ່ເຂົ້າໃຈພາສາອັງກິດ ແລະເປັນຄົນລາວ ຈະເຮັດຈັ່ງໃດ ?

[@vilouthphommajack]

My mouth is watering looks so good

[@sassytina613]

Love your video and your daughter so cute

[@mzlisa1226]

I made this last week and it was DELICIOUS!!!!!!! thanks Nana

[@CookingwithNana]

great, thanks for your feedback, Lisa.

[@Hamter342]

Why use both foil and banana leaves?

[@Nick-rn3ei]

Oh, and I LOVE MOK GHAI! With fish is it the same process?

[@CookingwithNana]

nick symeu It's the same process.. Cooking with Nana: Mok Pa (ໝົກປາ == Fish Steamed in Banana Leaf)

[@tessabriscoe9181]

hey Nana, is Padek a must use or optional?

[@CookingwithNana]

Tessa Briscoe Padek is optional, but you should try a little bit with and compare without.

[@ilovephopholover706]

Thank you Nana looks very good

[@zvang0002]

she is so cute.

[@bomax1130]

Hi i'm from Laos, yesterday i just made chicken steamed in banana leaf, but i added some eggs (ໄຂ່ແດງ) it was perfect.

[@CookingwithNana]

Bo Max Yes, I love the eggs in it, too...

[@ryecatcher84]

O omg Im craving this.. gotta make this soon!!!

[@Phal222]

Can I just use jasmine rice instead of sticky rice Nana?

[@CookingwithNana]

Phal222 it will not turn out the same if you use jasmine rice.

[@jihae7]

will it still be good if I do not add dill? because my mother-in-law does not like it at all.

[@CookingwithNana]

yes, you can leave out the dill if you don't like it. you can also split it up and make some with and without dill.

[@jihae7]

+Cooking with Nana oh yeah you are right!!! thanks Nana!! :D

[@sierrabuckingham2172]

nana I have a hard time getting Padaek here, my grandmother used to get someone to make it for me but I can't get it anymore.

[@CookingwithNana]

Sierra Buckingham You don't live near any Asian markets that sell the bottled padek? If don't have any padek, you can add a little more salt or fish sauce.

[@sierrabuckingham2172]

The only Asian markets we have here are Korean and philipino market, they have some fish sauce and other things I need but Paedek is so hard to find, do you know any place online I can buy it from? btw I LOVE your cooking!!!

[@CookingwithNana]

The Filipino store should have sauce similar to padek. You can look for bagoong sauce or anchovy sauce and try that first. That would be cheaper and faster than ordering online. If you want to order online: www.efooddepot.com/products/pantainorasingh/3829/pantainorasingh_fish_sauce__%28gouramy_extract%29__hypen___12_dot_2oz.html

[@sierrabuckingham2172]

do you also think frozen banana leaves will be okay for this recipe?

[@CookingwithNana]

Yes, i used frozen banana leaves. Can't find fresh ones right now.

[@poeticmeda4]

Hi. Can you do a video on Dom Cou?

[@Zahulu38]

Can I add the eggs to this recipe?

[@CookingwithNana]

yes, you can add the eggs with this same recipe. you mean the little eggs inside the chicken right?

[@thongxaysem5558]

ມີລາຍການຂອງຫວານບໍ.? ເອົາມາເຮັດລາຍການໃຫ້ເບິ່ງນໍາແດ່. ມົກໄກ່ຂ້ອຍລອງເຮັດແລ້ວ ສູດນີ້ແຊບຫຼາຍ👍

[@LaoInformation]

Cooking with Nana, may we make a suggestion? You should mention in the title or description that this is a Lao dish because not everyone knows how to read the Lao script or understand spoken Lao. You can simply type "Lao cuisine" or "Lao food" in the description of each of your videos.

[@CookingwithNana]

Lao Information yes, I try to indicate "Lao" in most of my videos in the title, description, or in the actual video.

[@sanidaxiong]

Thank you for sharing your great I recipes. I appreciate them very much. I just wish your videos weren't so long. :/

[@CookingwithNana]

Kau Zoua Xiong Thanks for the feedback. I tried making my videos shorter, but then I end up spending more time answering questions that I assumed people would know. So, in my videos I try to explain everything that I think people might ask. So, I try to make my videos like a full class targeting beginners, instead of just presenting the recipe and instructions. I think this way, people who just want the gist of it can forward through the parts they don't need.

[@Sweetylaos]

Thank you so much for making this recipe! I’ve been craving for it, I will attempt to make it soon. I have a question, can you also use the yanang extract for this Mok Gai recipe just like how I saw you use it in the bamboo recipe you made, or will it taste weird? And if so how much?

[@CookingwithNana]

Sweetylaos yanang in my opinion extract is only good with other plants like bamboo and mushrooms.

[@Sweetylaos]

Oh Ok! Thank you very much for the explanation that makes more sense, I was always confused about that! Love you Nana!

[@patchan408]

I gonna try cook it tomorrow Thx Nana

[@CookingwithNana]

Pat Chan Great, please let me know how it turned out for you.

[@MsLansones]

Did I just hear a ping at 15:12? Nana, your daughters fingernails, I want. Beautiful nails!

[@CookingwithNana]

+MsLansones Lol.. The cameraman was getting messages during the shoot.

[@justinheiber958]

Do you live in georgia ? it would be abosolutely amazing if you can come to our riverdale temple and cook .

[@CookingwithNana]

justin heiber I live in California. You might try contacting the Laotian American Society www.lasga.org/

[@bodemlouanesamay560]

Cooking with Nana Hey Nana, I love your videos. And, as a Lao cook myself, you have really helped me alot when preparing my dishes. Im from Modesto, California over here. Maybe we can have a throw down coming up Lao New Years! :) J/K... I don't have a chance. lol...Thank you, and keep posting your videos Nana!
