I am not a Latina but my stomach is. Having grown up with Latin caribbean food, I know asking team yuca or platano is like asking who do you love best mom or dad.

[@elcogeputas399]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@getback6890]

LMAOOOOOOO

[@ashleyanderson2366]

Exactly 😆

[@jrsadventures7702]

[@jessie-tg7lc]

Definitely team Yuca 🇨🇺🇨🇺

[@Chefzeecooks]

Same 😅

[@rossbeezee]

Am Filipino Americano retired and living in the Philippines, and just finished eating my Yucca Dominican Mojo. Missed so much the Spanish dishes while in NY/NJ/PA states... Thanks for sharing your recipe. Take care.

[@pearlsantos9563]

Do I really have to choose between Yuca or Platanos?? 😩😩 they are both sooo yummy!!

[@Chefzeecooks]

Right?! Lol

[@prettyrosse1]

True lol 😂

[@danielmercado6053]

I love them both but how about Pana

[@nuriavelez7005]

I like to have the yuca very soft but I can never get it that way....how long should they boil to get a soft consistency?

[@lilypagan4019]

OMG! That's so funny but true, Lololol

[@parmodsharma4576]

I’m half Cuban and Puerto Rican so team both.

[@cookiecookie7126]

I love it both ways, and I'm Puerto Rican . I love both cultures food. Yummy yummy!!😋😋

[@marciafab7]

The Goldie locks of yuca! I understand. Thanks again for another great meal idea! I appreciate you so much 💛

[@fortellastaton7920]

Thank you so much for this! I LOVE yucca from my one of my favorite Cuban spots, and I wanted to learn how to make it at home. Now I know; thank you. And I'll try it the Dominican way too. Mmmm

[@mabelleyisrael7409]

I looooove Yuca... Thank you for all your recipes!!!!

[@Sincere8250]

Team Yuca Dominican style, all day, everyday! But, I do enjoy my Tostones once in a while!

[@joannerivera5551]

Making these w the red onions because I like how they taste and some fried eggs. Thanks for the tips.

[@NishCorner]

Thank you for this quick easy break down. I’m from TRINI but growing up in NY always loved Dominican food. I grew up on Yuca in the Caribbean so when Spanish friends put me on I was so excited to find a comfort food. Today will be my first time making it on my own and thanks for your tips ❤

[@elysecruz1108]

Chef, I just made this recipe, but I mixed the Cuban and Dominican style versions, and It was delicious. Thanks for the tips 🥰

[@everberry51]

I love your channel! You’re great at teaching us the method. And the aesthetics are great too :)

[@RitaFontanez-bc1uh]

I'm a PlaYuca Team! Torn between two lovers! 💖💖🤗🤗😂😂🔥🔥

[@calebhall3307]

i love being dominican and cuban you get the best of both worlds! this yuca looks so good!🤩❤️

[@Chefzeecooks]

Thank you!!!!

[@goldo87]

Good to have you back ... made your pernil the other day everyone loved it

[@eazjj]

I am Yuca, however, I grew up in Washington Heights NYC. My parents are Cuban in Puerto Rican, but I have Dominican tendencies I love both. I make my onions both ways with a little tweak. I usually make my mojito Criollo as a glaze over the Yuca making with the white onions. Now, with the red onions I use a red wine vinegar to pickle the onions. Giving a little bit of a sweetness. Thank you for everything.

[@Wetravelworldwide]

thanks for all my abuelitas recipes. Im cuban and dominican too!

[@MsBrugal01]

Team plátano!!!!! All the way! 😍

[@aseal5511]

Congrats, I saw you yesterday while searching channels on Univision; you looked great (as always). love your recipes, and since they are somewhat like my grandmother's I twist them around to get her flavor, cause she did not leave a recipe book; I've forgotten most of them and she taught me to cook "al gusto". My daughter gets annoyed cause I don't measure and she can't follow. thanks for your videos

[@prind1567]

I LOVE Yuca but I’m gonna go with Team Platano because it’s just a bit more versatile 😊.

[@OnAirVoice]

I’ve never tried the Dominican style before, looks delicious.

[@berviffy30]

Try a bit of bullion instead of salt it brings it to the next level

[@Princesseg10]

Both are great!!!

[@lindalabrador9712]

Delicious both ways! 😋👍🏼

[@fausto412]

You said loganiza and my mouth started watering. haven't had that in over a year.

[@vVideoArt]

Thank you so much! Perfect recipes and super professional video! Wish you all the best!!)

[@nursenasdaq]

Love it!

[@PrettyNessa88]

I’m so glad I found your channel while looking for the best yuca recipes! Team Yuca and I too am Cuban & Dominican 🥰 Great video!

[@Chefzeecooks]

Woot woot best mix ever 😉 haha thanks for watching !

[@terys275]

this is golden!!! 😍

[@kingsofuselessinformation6905]

I love them both but team platano!! Lol Great seeing you again. Thanks again for another great video

[@danakay693]

Team Platano!!

[@Chefzeecooks]

So good!

[@sunnypumkin]

Both!! 😁. Just found your channel! Love it!

[@dalechristopher6635]

Team Yucca all day. Both Cuban and Dominican ways are delicious.

[@reinapaloma422]

It's so funny that you mentioned the tenderness of the yuca because on sunday we got some yuca from the Dominican restaurant with some Guineo verde and it was hard as a rock. We were laughing at how hard it was but it was not very good. I love to have the yuca softer and it taste a lot better with the onions in my opinion. But now seeing how easy it is to make I will just buy some and make it myself!!

[@destinyannabelle]

Team Yuca... but love my mangu, tostones, and my maduros

[@lisamichelle5950]

I’ve always had the Cuban style yuca 😋 but i loveeee the pickled red onions on mangu so I’m definitely going to have to try the Dominican version! Platano vs yuca tough… but I have to go with yuca.

[@Jessicaoverby85]

I’m so glad I found your channel! I’m also half Cuban I’ve been trying to look for some recipes that I can make I might make your turkey recipe for thanksgiving with the Cuban yuca 🤤

[@curtisboudreaux1265]

Same I'm half Cuban with Spaniard and Haitian

[@mariacabrera4359]

I choose both for sure ❤

[@josedelgadillo9087]

Excelente me fascina la yuca con cebolla Morada con vinagre,Con queso frito Uff

[@RubyMariatv]

I absolutely love both but If I had to live with one.. PLATANO ALL DAY BABYY!

[@tonyawelton]

I am not latino, but having a cuban canadian neighbour over for dinner at Christmas. I been going to Cuba for 11 yrs few times/yr, and stayed with cuban friends, and was put in the kitchen with few cuban moms. I learned by watching. This xmas will first time making it. Wish me luck-lol

[@sarahrose3376]

[@MrDulceguille]

Love your channel! The recipes are clear and authentic. I really enjoy the fact you don't accentuate all the Spanish words like all the super cringe people who usually don't really speak spanish.

[@FJBANDHUNTER2024]

Love both recipes. Thanks

[@TXVivir]

Team YUCA here! Thanks for both recipes!

[@natalieayala4971]

I like your videos before I even see them lol #teamYuca keep doing your thing girl it’s appreciated

[@mohamedboudriss6060]

Yummy. I love it. I’m African but I love Latino food!

[@marthabond4456]

I love both I am from Colombia

[@jupitermakeup4256]

half Cuban here!!! I am DEFINITELY team yuca, pero platanos are important too ;))

[@Chefzeecooks]

Woot woot!!!!! Trust me, I feel you!!! lol

[@jayespinal]

Thank you for the video, I’m gonna combine the Cuban style with the Dominican style to maximize that Caribbean flavors.

[@chaneestatengamble2259]

I was thinking the same in combing both.

[@martamccool2740]

You make it difficult because both plátano and yuca are equally deliiiiissssciousssss, I will said 50 / 50 o better said 100 and 100% and that’s the reality of the rich experience of the Latin food! We are lucky having the influencia of so many countries around the world and create from that all new and rich flavors and styles of do it and combínate it and play with the explosion and sensation of the Latin food!

[@sakinamaryamkarim3567]

Plantain chips are life😍🤤

[@noragreene5811]

Good 👍 Gracias

[@frenzypunch3498]

I'm MVP! (most valuable plantano) Plantano all day!

[@emmapoe2746]

I am a Puerto Rican descent and yucca is so yummy to me. I can eat it just plain , I’d like it with a Mojito and I add cilantro, and then I like it with l green, bananas, and plátanos !

[@shellyp4588]

I tried both ways and it was delicious.

[@Chefzeecooks]

[@flsun5367]

I have literally been addicted to yucca since I visited Puerto Rico in 2017. Plantains are yummy as well. I'm going team yucca though. Is it possible for you to show us how to make an authentic frappe?

[@brandon_wallace]

You can eat yuca and plaintain on the same plate. Thanks for this recipe.
