How to make CHAMORU / GUAM EMPANADA!

[@MinorLy]

You made it look so easy. My wife is from Guam and always talks about the empanadas. I’m going to surprise her with these. 😊

[@francinecruz6910]

Wow!!! This recipe was perfect, the empanda shell was perfect!!! I've tried to make other recipes and they didn't turn out so great! Your recipe worked like a charm!

[@Hibbard1986]

Thanks for the video, made these yesterday tasted so great. Our friend from Guam was over and she told us to make 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1/4 lemon juice / chillie peppers/onions for a little dip.

I’m glad to see Chamorro cooking because some of our recipes can be complicated.

[@aliciagogue9091]

[@jeanette9386]

That was awesome!!!!!! Ty

[@mikeseats7305]

Thank you!

[@vernonkamiaz8170]

What would you add to the dough to make it flaky? That looked good still.

[@michellecastro2475]

I was just talking about learning to make this since I love to eat them. It's been so long since I've eaten one. Ty. I will definetly be trying to make this. Wish me loom. I'm determined to get it right so I can stock up. Any tips for freezing??

Good stuff bro 🇬🇺

[@evangelinequinata4322]

I see you added cornstarch how come you didn’t tell us how much of the cornstarch to mix in

[@rubygracecabusao8590]

Where can you buy the one you using for the dough to press..

[@mikeseats7305]

Hi! I actually ordered it from Amazon. Alpha Living Tortilla Press and... www.amazon.com/dp/B07FXJHMPZ?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share But, I have seen them at some flea markets before as well.

[@annedeguzman9244]

Where can I buy cream of rice or any replacement?

[@mikeseats7305]

I’ll usually find it near the cream of wheat at the grocery store, sometimes in aisles with the rice too. For a replacement, you can grind up your own white rice at home.

[@virginiarosario7238]

Looks like you added corn starch but how much do you put? Lol

[@lua070681]

Small game changing culinary tip...place a wet napkin or towel under your board to avoid it from moving as you slice.

[@saipan4208]

I just got back from saipan, i tried everything but the coconut crab, only because it wasn't available, your empanadas look legit🤙 I love island food and the islands of course🤙😎. My second time to Micronesia 🤙

[@mikeseats7305]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. Definitely lots of food to try

[@rolandtajalle2687]

Did you add corn starch?

[@mikeseats7305]

Yes, I added around 1 cup of cornstarch for the crust, forgot to add that part into the video

[@joanne-mariebhetiback4182]

Every family has there own recipe.. my aunty makes the dough slightly different.

[@lanalowlifer7499]

I’m craving empanadas rn 🥲

[@privacyftw7126]

omg though that leprechaun movie intro terrified me, it's another awesome video! Do you have any trouble finding your ingredients?

[@mikeseats7305]

Thanks! No, everything is pretty easy to find. The achote powder may be a challenge though if you have no Filipino stores around. Not sure if they sell it at Mexican stores, but it may also be called like annato powder, or you can use water that’s been soaked in annato seeds

👏👏👏👌

Does anyone ever add cheese to these?

[@mikeseats7305]

Yes, I’ve seen some with cheese. It’s usually just chicken, but you can change the filling how you’d like, even use a different meat.
