Great video, Kia ora mo tena. I'm 60 and remember my mums toroi as a teenager, we lost her 40 years ago now and her toroi recipe with her. This is as close as it gets for me, so been following this recipe, little bit of onions and a drop of vinegar, remembering she used raw kukus back then, and a little bit of sugar! Thank you for the vid, love the awhi and tautoko yours share, this a beautiful thing today, nga mihi korua

[@nissikisini9989]

Love toroi, raw diced onion, pikopiko, a dash of sugar and salt, puha & mussels then leave in the pantry for 4-6 weeks. Tino kai reka!

[@bbbnnuuuhgg7016]

I really enjoy watching traditional cooking from all cultures especially ones from people I grew up with

[@johnnyT66]

Watching from Sydney, Australia. Awesome to watch Mike. I use Chinese Brocholli when Puha is hard to find, onions and a touch of salt and pepper. Still just as healthy and delicious. Kia ora Mike.

[@charlenes5]

l was never one for mussels but when a good friend of mine brought toroi to our function l was so plastic never in my life did l ever hear of it oh my but when l tasted it, it felt like l was in heaven it was delicious mmmmmm

[@teinakoreharawira8886]

Yes I was exactly the same! 😅❤

[@rangiiorangi6606]

Yum I love fresh toroi just puha and mussel. I blanch the puha in boiling water with a bit of the mussel juice as its usually salty enough, with the puha still abit crunchy. Add some puha to jar add raw mussels wait for about 5mins for mussels to slightly cook in juice and wala done

[@OutdoorsWithCWest]

i really want to try this . yep mussels tiny as bro. same up here in Auckland

[@lukeduke3001]

she seems like a typical sister coming to look after the bro

[@kuiniotepo]

Love it, grew up on "whakamara", always open to different ways of serving our kai, our Mum was from the Urewera bush and our Dad grew up by the Whakatane river and the sea,, the combination culinary wise was exceptional

[@johndunn1767]

Its always the case us brothers love to cook but our sisters always show as up and we learn so much from them on how we can cook and prep a lot better 😉

[@xenarr6735]

Your a good cook and I really appreciate all your gathering and hunting skills very informative too. Thankyou from Australia ✌️

[@LadyOaksNZ]

puha and muttonbirds... !!! Absolutely scrumptious ❤

[@jorehua3373]

Puha n mussels...nothing else...like the sister said..."why add anything more to that...when it's perfect just the way it is"...tika tonu tõ kõrero sis 💯🙌💖

[@earthsongdivine7384]

Watching from Melbourne, bringing back very special memories 😌

[@miere1960]

Thanks Michael and Caroline... made my first batch thanks to you two!

[@Leo-Nee]

Awe that looks delicious 🤤. I made my first ever toroi last week but used watercress & did it just like that but put in some finely chopped garlic & a sprinkle of chilli flakes. Made one very large jar full. The garlic really gave it a flavour boost! But could have gone without it. It only lasted me a few days 😩. But am making more soon! Awesome video. Your Sister must really love you.

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

Definitely needs some fusion alright lol, yep she's a very caring sister😀

[@hoddy007]

Looks awesome! Thanks for sharing. I love toroi.

[@maxbabe4936]

Primo! Made my 1st brew of toroi (4 jars) last night with your 1st vid on making toroi with success. This'll be my 'go-to' from now on. I added garlic, onion, ground pepper out of the mill & a splash of malt viniger. Will experiment with ingredients, more & less, to get a stockpile of tasty feeds to munch on as desired. Kia ora to you & your sis for doing the mahi to get this vid up! PS: My brew was heavy on the kutai & they went in whole - reka!

[@wiseone8749]

Beautiful my bro .. I'm off to work but now after watching this I'm hungry lol

[@johnormsby2034]

Too much E korua...ka mau te wehi! As a young boy, can recall getting stuck into the stuff & I haven't eaten toroi for over 1/2 a century. But I can vividly recall the taste omg, making my mouth salivate. Gonna make some this week, cheers for posting👍

[@cmd3954]

Could I substitute the puha with watercress?

[@jessicautanga137]

Love your videos we call you uncle weka in our whare 😄 we have a routine now of waking up and putting on one of your videos to start our day. #GoTheTasteTest #TinoRekaTeKai Hope to bump into you and meet you one day uncle weka! Thank you for your time and sharing your joy with us, Ka mau te wehi videos 🙏🏼🙌🏼

Thanks Jessica, nice to read comments like that! I get called uncle weka a few times lol

[@desireetarapata4055]

Mean, so making this, thanks & love the team work amongst siblings❤❤

[@cobstadean1993]

I'll bet a $, It tasted as good as it looks. Good job the sister. Should of included your taste test Mike so i can feel the mana of that Toroi hahaha. Maori Kai, Mauri Ora.

[@azza7717]

can it be done with watercress?

[@Yung_Warrior88]

Nga mihi nui for this ..I've never been taught ..Just fed my face whenever someone else makes it lol.

[@sophiatutavaha9589]

Can I add the puha juice in with the mussel puha mix??

[@raymika2804]

Ive never heard of this toroi until seeing your video i might try it this year hopefully see what it taste like

[@Ali-lj1cy]

I really want to try some. I've never had it before and no one in my family makes it...Might have to try it out one day

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

Very well worth making it 🙂

[@christopherwhippy3181]

Back in the day my mates dad Peter Pou had a jar of this that was well over a year old and he offered me some while we were on the piss. I can't remember the exact taste but I'd never tasted anything like it and it tasted awesome. I ended up eating the whole jar. Mum's good friend used to eat rotten corn apparently the taste was nothing like the smell and it used to drive their neighbours nuts. If it tasted good I'd eat it no dramas.

[@kamauwikeepa7308]

Sad to say, but yes there are a lot of maori today who are offended with the odour of kanga piro, engari they'll eat cheese, yogurt and drink wai piro and not bat an eye,hei aha!

[@MistaCUNextTuesday]

​@@kamauwikeepa7308cant compare the smell of cheese or yogurt to the smell of kanga pirau. Kanga pirau smells like literal vomit.

[@kamauwikeepa7308]

@@MistaCUNextTuesday you'd be the best judge of your vomit. Why'd u want to mention your nose beats me.

[@tinyashby8888]

Kia ora whanau enjoyed watching your video so how long can u preserve toroi for & does it get stored in cupboard or fridge

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

I prefer in the fridge

[@lewiskupa8166]

[@uruwatarawi9054]

Yeah was waiting for da test

[@ellsmith7718]

Man I would love to try this ! Been in auz since 1999 never been home to eat real food :( my mummah made me stay here so I'm left wondering lol

[@FS-pj3md]

The ratio of mussel and puha or watercress in toroi is MORE🤗

[@sinapeteru1671]

How long can it last please would love to know.

[@debramage739]

That looked great.

[@Womeninspiringnationsministry]

Awesome vid. Im going to try this recipe

[@rokit187omahuhuia8]

Question do you have to rub the puha 1st or nah

[@ATRAK275]

Hey bro, wheres the 2week taste test? Also what would the maximum time period to let it sit for and do you leave it in the fridge or sit in a cupboard? Is it true that the longer you leave it the better it becomes? Look forward to all your answers

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

The taste test just never came together for the vid 🙁 Recommended to refrigerate till you use it bro as long as it's sealed properly

[@ATRAK275]

@@WekaDigitalMediaNZ Thanks Mike keep up the great vids

[@durannz1075]

I had toroi that had trout eggs in it the best I've ever had

[@funkyjunky6574]

How old would you ferment it

[@archiehemopo9232]

usually i have to go back to the shop to get some more mussels because ive eatten all the mussels

[@fishfootface]

I hear that.😁👍

[@topcabdriver50]

once you've put the jars, how long do you leave for and how to store it

[@RedeyeCountry]

I'd like to know too, never made any before

[@zoner1nz]

2nd. How long will they last? I would definitely add chopped onion and some chilly flakes.

[@leemarsh6887]

Tbh i dont eat toroi im a urban maori who grew up in the city whos country cuzzys would always mock for being a fussy eater but i always loved the smell of toroi used to love the way my uncle would eat and crave this brings back memories!!!

[@lillykahler]

Thanks for the knowledge!! Should you keep in the fridge?? Or all good on the bench for a few weeks..

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

Recommended to leave in the fridge till you use it, just needs to be sealed properly

[@lillykahler]

Cheers Mike 🤙

[@trevameremere6186]

What if you can’t get your hands a Puha, what else can I use. Sorry I’m in Australia

[@legionoflegends911]

Lovely, I like mine a lil tangy so add a touch of vinegar and onion

[@zanealpha4075]

The 1st time I ever tried toroi it was 3months old preserved of course an liked it since

[@kristinreign8026]

Wow! Looks absolute Beautiful ka pai👍

[@scottholmes8967]

Yummmm how long would you leave it to sit for?

Can you make it with watercress?

Hi guys we did the exact above recipe left it in cupboard for a week came home and it smelt rotten!...it was bubbling in jar....is this OK???

[@kwikflikzyakadventures3795]

I prefer to leave skin on for a stronger Rewana flavour, and thanks for sharing.

[@kevingarland1301]

I like adding vinegar and sugar with my mussel and puha juices when it's all cooked. Mmm... it's a vinegeritte made in toroī heaven and it's still yummy and healthy lol

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

That sounds like it will go nice with the puha, white or malt vinegar?

[@kevingarland1301]

@@WekaDigitalMediaNZ I always use malt and make it to your taste buds level. It's how I like l doing it when marinating my mussels as well (without the puha) along with an onion, cucumber and diced up tomatoes, which can be eaten straight away or.... just like a boil up the next day always tastes the best. 👌

[@nataliecornelius6805]

my mate dose this realy good but add piokpoi in it gives it a sharp tang

[@merimccormack7756]

love the toroi try with mutton bird with piko piko or puha which every you get first an of course the kuku mean tino reka

Hey Mike I think wen you preserve food in a Jar the liquid needs to be filled to the very top of the Jah. Air at the top can make the food go off
