Hafa Adai! I made these empanadas according to your recipe 2 years ago, my husband and familia who got to try, were very satisfied! Thank you so much for posting your recipes. I am half Samoan and half Chamoru, raised state-side. Being able to prepare and cook foods from back home, brings my soul that much closer to the islands. I plan on making these again for Thanksgiving this year. God bless you and your familia.

🌴Hafa Adai Paula😀 I just recently found your cooking videos via KZbin. They're good but could be great. Please consider displaying the ingredient items (what the package looks like). People who aren't familiar with Chamorro recipes would find it most helpful. Thank you for the tip on not touching the empanadas for the first part of the frying. Now I know why I had a big mess, and why the filling kept seeping out, because the empanada was still not ready for turning. I'm going to try your recipe. I'd like to get the tortilla press, as well. So much easier than rolling! Si Yuos Ma'ase Paula🌴

Oh my goodness.... After watching that video I just simply had to run to the store to buy me some. Its too bad it isn't what you just made lol. Hafa adai Puaula! I just want to thank you for sharing your Chamorro recipes. I lived in Rota almost my entire life but I've never really bothered to learn to cook Chamorro food taking for granted that I can easily obtain them at home where family members would cook them, or in stores, at parties, etc. Your recipe videos has been a blessing because since I've moved to Saipan, the style of cooking some Chamorro dishes is a little different from how we make them back in Rota and I find that your recipes and style of cooking is just about the same as we do them back home. Lately, I've taken such a strong interest to make them myself because I can make it to the way I want them and I can have them any time I feel like eating them without leaving home. The demonstrations you do are so simple and easy to follow not to mention the tips you provide is a big help to us novices. God bless you for your generosity!

+Vernon-Lee Inos Mangloña Hafa Adai Vernon-Lee! I'm glad you like my work, and thank you for sharing your observations regarding the foods of our islands. I learned something new today! I wonder if there are more Chamorros that have family/go back and forth between Guam and Rota, vs Guam and Saipan. I actually have two friends with immediate family in Rota, vs one friend with immediate family in Saipan. I'm so surprised with the differences, and such differences goes to show how people adapt to their surroundings. Thanks again!
@vmanglona728 жыл бұрын
Thank you more! I don't know about Saipan but a lot of Rotanese do go to Guam all the time for a lot of them have family and relatives in Guam including mine. I also know just about everyone in Rota so most likely I would know your friends' family. :)

Would you kindly share with me what specific Spanish-speaking country your are referring to that uses the words buchi buchi, pastel calamasa, and pastel mansana. I know that in Catalan, Spain, they use "pastis" as opposed to "pastel." I could not find a word for "pie" in Filipino other than simply "pie." I try to "connect-the-dots" between the foods I grew up with and foods from other countries. THANK YOU!!!

Oh girl, it is confusing isn't it?! I'm reading all these comments and noticing that things are not the same as the words we are taught, but what people are forgetting is that these are words we learned from our families, indigenous or not to our chamorro culture being raised on Guam. It may be different from what they're accustomed to, but Guam is a melting pot! Visit it and you will understand why it is so special and why the Japanese wanted to conquer it and why US fought so hard to keep it!

Man, my bad for the misunderstanding. What I was saying was that all those are versions of empanada. Empanada de calabasa, empanada de manzana are common chamorro pastries. I'm not a historian but I recognize that most of our Spanish food that integrated into chamorro culture originated from the Acapulco region. We say Spanish because Mexico wasn't a country during the time when the Marianas was partnof the Spanish east Indies

how to keep it from crack when its frozen
@GuamMamaCooks2 жыл бұрын
Hi Ally, the only time mine crack is if I drop them while frozen. I freeze them on a single baking pan till they are completely hardened. I pack in freezer gallon bags and store upright in large plastic containers in the freezer. If storing them isn't the problem, it could be that your crust is dry and might need a little more water.

@GuamMamaCooks4 жыл бұрын
Hafa Adai Ben, GOYA is a brand of products/seasoning powder found in the International/Latin aisle of the grocery store. There are several flavorings of the seasoning powder, but the one that closely matches achote is the "Sazon with coriander and annatto." It's optional in Chamorro empanada. The filling is a seasoned, thickened rice and chicken soup. Here is a link to the filling and the crust recipe. www.paulaq.com/chamorro_empanadarecipeguamempanada.html

Hi Paula Q! I have been following your recipe for empanada for a while now & I still am unable to get the right crunch for the outside. after it's cooked it also gets soggy real fast & if we eat it right out of the fry, the crust is very flaky. can you assist in this? maybe it's the cooking process? or the dough? I know I followed the recipe to the T...thank you & God bless you for all you do*
@GuamMamaCooks9 жыл бұрын
Carlin Duenas Hi Carlin, some people add cornstarch to their crust to make it really crispy. However, in addition to being a bit more crunchy, something else about the crust changes....I can't explain it. In my recipe, the areas of the crust in contact with the filling doesn't get really crunchy....just the edges where there is no filling. Not sure what you mean by soggy.....but if you place the empanada folded side on a napkin-lined pan, the napkins will absorb the oil...so that part of the crust will not be soggy per say, but it will not be crispy either. Your oil should be hot and don't crowd the pot. Hope this helps! No else has yet to write me with problems. So sorry you are having trouble with the recipe!!!
@carlinduenas9 жыл бұрын
***** Thank you Paula for your quick response! just that the crust will not be as crunchy/crispy as I know it supposed to be back home buying from Chode's or Agat Oriental Mart. I don't crowd the pot & I do use a napkin lined pan/plate to place it on after cooking. I will try adding cornstarch to see how it will turn out. I will let you know :) thank you again for all your help!

There are some glaring problems with her recipe. For example, she calls for "Goya con y cilantro." Great! But what does the package look like? She NEVER shows it. I searched all over for "Goya con y cilantro" and there is none to be found. I went to the Goya website and even they do not list it. So what is she talking about? And, can Cilantro leaves be substituted? Dried or fresh and how much? Even if I could find "Goya con y cilantro," she calls for 2 packets. Same as the Achote powder. She calls for 1 packet. I've got 4 different sizes of Achote powder and one big jar of it from Amazon. So how much is 2 packets? 2 or 3 tablespoons? It's pretty damn ignorant NOT to give correct measurements! Another problem is when she takes the Empanada out of the freezer she does NOT show it still in the wax paper. She should make a COMPLETE video showing her removing the wax paper as sometimes it sticks and tears the Empanada shell. Lastly.. and this is VERY IMPORTANT.. what is the temperature of the oil and what type of oil is she using? Is the temperature 300 F, 350 Fahrenheit or higher? And is the oil vegetable oil, corn oil, olive oil, or even vegetable shortening or lard from pigs.. or tallow from a cow? See what I mean? Incomplete recipe and cooking method is almost useless as one has to experiment to try to get it right. For me... she's just Hollywooding to get on KZbin.
