[@iloverabbits5924]

The third dish is almost exactly like a romanian appetizer called toba (literally means drum), and the process of making it is almost the same. We use bits of meat alongside the ears and other fatty and gelatinous parts. We also put the gelatine and meat in the stomach and then sew it. After some time, it is good to eat, and we slice it and eat the inside part, not the stomach layer. It's very delicious. I loved this video ❤️❤️

[@riverAmazonNZ]

There is a similar English dish called Brawn

[@_Kyprioth_]

The pepper used for the head cheese is commonly known as ‘long pepper’ in English (piper longum). I’m not sure what they call it in Germany, but I hope that helps. The pepper has a completely different taste and the dish doesn’t taste ‘right’ if ordinary black or white pepper is used.

[@_Kyprioth_]

The vast majority of Asian supermarkets sell it. It’s also quite easy to find in Arab specialty stores as well. It’s the more commonly used pepper across much of Asia and into many Arab countries too.

uyen, to counter cabbage worms, your mom can (companion)plant celery or aliums (onion, garlic, shallot). herbs like cilantro/coriander, thyme, sage, rosemary, oregano and pepper/spearmint. or flowers like chamomile and marigold. as they all repel cabage worm butterfly, there are also plants that attract cabage worm predators like yarrow, white clover and buckwheat but that may be alot less practical.

For those making 'mẻ' and storing it at home, if you plan to make more of them, make sure that 1: there's still some amount of 'mẻ' left in the container, 2: when you open the container that you put it in, the bacteria inside have already transformed the amount of rice you added last time. It's best to feed it with leftover rice after finishing your meal as too hot rice can kill the bacteria instead.

For the cabbage, in Europe you can reduce the pests by mixing cabbage plants with tomatoes. The smell of the tomatoes hides the smell of cabbage.

I love this video! I am a Home Care nurse who takes care of special needs kids in their homes. (I should add that I'm in the USA and white.) One of my little kiddos was Vietnamese. One day, as I was halfway out the door after my night shift, kiddo's Grandma asked me if I wanted breakfast. I know well enough not to say no. She handed me chopsticks, a spoon, and a big bowl of chicken soup. 😊 From that day on, she fed me breakfast right along with the rest of the family. Usually it was some kind of soup, and it was delicious. Her chicken pho was really good, but my favorite was her congee (I don't know the Vietnamese name). It was thick and warm and peppery and had century egg and some kind of meat in it. I haven't had it in years, I don't know where to find it or how to make it, and I *miss* it!

[@hangeroo2439]

It's called chao (pronounced sort of like ciao but with more of j sound). You should be able to find lots of recipes out there for chao/congee. There are many versions of it like chicken, pork, blood sausage (really delicious and the only blood product I'd eat...but it also oft times comes with organ meat, which I'm meh about), fish, etc. You can make it easily yourself. Do about 1 part rice to 10 parts water if you want it a bit loose (I start with 1 part rice to 8 parts water and just add more water if it's too thick). So cook a whole chicken or chicken parts to make a broth. Remove the chicken after 1-1 1/2 hours. If you want to use bone broth, then maybe add the bones and skin back in and cook in crockpot overnight. You can shred your chicken to add back into the chao or add it atop it when serving. The broth can be flavored with garlic, ginger, onion. Add your rice and just let it cook until the consistency you like (about an hour, longer if want the rice to disintegrate more). Don't forget to add salt. When done, top with whatever you want. My favorite toppings are sliced green onions, cilantro, crumbled hard boil egg (you can do the 6 minute egg or like you said the century egg), fried shallots, homemade chili oil, black pepper, etc. An easier version would be to use ground pork and cook it in a pot with garlic and ginger. Then add the rice and water to the ratio you want. You can add salt (or chicken bouillon) and a bit of fish sauce to flavor it more.

I've been enjoying your content for awhile but finally motivated to comment because I love learning about South East Asian cooking techniques. I will give com me a try. It looks like lactic acid fermentation. I imagine the taste would be a bit like how northern Thai fermented sausages taste as they add sticky rice to the fermentation. We have a lot of interesting Thai food here in Singapore but the Vietnamese options are a bit more limited. Or maybe it just seems so because I don't speak Vietnamese yet (on the bucket list).

You should do a video on the village/garden! That is such a different concept vs getting food from the market. Like is it free? Or is there a monthly contribution? Is that just your moms personal garden or it is a shared garden? If it is shared, how do you keep it from running out?
