C/w Nana: Cooking Sticky Rice with an Electric Rice Cooker Cooking with Nana 2022-07-22 | In this video I show to to cook sticky rice using a Zojirushi rice cooker. Traditional Lao way to cook sticky rice is to use steamer basket (huat) to steam the rice which had been soaked in water for 2 hours to overnight. Using this rice cooker method, the rice does not need to be soaked first.Note: This is only ideal for cooking small amounts of rice if you intend to eat the rice the Lao way (roll into balls with your hands to eat with other food). If you cook too much rice in this cooker, the rice will be wetter and stickier, harder to eat with your hands. If you intend to use it for making desserts like sticky rice mango, cooking larger amounts is ok.

(ພາສາລາວ) Lao Food Festival 2021 Message Cooking with Nana 2021-07-27 | I recorded this message in Lao language in February 2021 to send to the the participants of the Lao Food Festival 2021 in Laos.Translation in English (paraphrased):- Hello, my name is Nana [Khamvongsa] Sanavongsay. I live in America. I teach cooking on YouTube.Q: How did you get started?A: (After I moved to Calfiornia) My friend called me to ask how I make my Khao Piek Sen. I told her over the phone, but she said, "no, no, no, I tried what you told me. Can you make a video to show me?" I asked my husband to record the video for me and share with my friends on Facebook. Later, he put the video on YouTube without telling me. I was shocked when I found out because I didn't want strangers to see it, because I'm quite a shy person. Then I sat and talked with my mom and husband about making more videos to show the younger generation how to make Lao food so that it will not be lost of forgotten.Q: What language do you speak in your videos?A: In the beginning I spoke English because it was easier. When I was younger, I mostly spoke American English. When making the videos, I did not think that other people who didn't understand English would watch my videos. I tried doing some videos in Lao, but eventually decided to do them mostly in English because that is the language most of my audience can understand. Q: What kinds of reactions did you receive?A: I received mix of reactions, but they were mostly positive. There were some people who were questioning why I'm teaching non-Lao people how to make Lao food, etc. I feel very happy and proud to show the new generation how Lao food is made.Q: Who are your followers?A: My followers include a wide: Lao, Hmong, Mien, people in America, and many different countries. For example, there are some Lao American military people in Japan who watch my videos when they want to make Lao food and they tell me it tastes just like how their parents make it. Q: Do you have a favorite video you've done?A: Some of my favorite videos are the first ones I did where you could sometimes hear my mom in the background, [guiding me or scolding me]. There was one where I was making "hoo moo yen" and she yelled at me when I accidentally poured too much black pepper into the broth. When I go back and watch some of the old videos I can feel my mom's presence guiding me to pass on to future generations. I feel very blessed to have been able to learn from my mom because she is no longer here with us. My kids also like Lao food, and I am grateful that I can make it for them.Q: What is your favorite Lao food?A: I have a lot of favorites, but I think my top favorite is sticky rice with jeow padek. My mom loved to make jeow padek and I would love to dip it with hot sticky rice. And also gang khiilek. I can sit and eat that all day.Q: How would you describe Lao food?A: For people who have never tried Lao food, I would say Lao food is delicious -- it has hot/spiciness, saltiness, savory(MSG)ness. We don't have very many sweet dishes. We have the aroma of ginger, galanghal, lemongrass... Q: Any messages to the Lao Food Festival 2021 participants?A: I would like to tell the people back in Laos, that even though we have left a long time ago, we have not forgotten about our food. We still want to pass it along and teach the future generations.- Thank you very much to everyone who is watching and for subscribing. Good-bye, good luck, and see you next time.

C/w Nana: Sweet & Sour Meatball Sauce ( ແຈ່ວລູກຊີ້ນ Jeow Luke Seen) Cooking with Nana 2016-04-29 | Here is my recipe for the sauce for the meatballs I made in my last video. It is a semi-homemade sauce mixing bottled Sweet Chili Sauce with Sriracha sauce (I don't like the Huy Fong brand Sriracha for this recipe). If you don't have time to make the sauce the way I showed in the video, you can just use those other sauces straight from the bottle. The Mae Ploy sweet chili sauce is good already, but this recipe will bring the flavor up a few more notches.Cooking with Nana: Sweet & Sour Meatball Sauce ( ແຈ່ວລູກຊີ້ນ == Jeow Luke Seen)Hosted by Nana SanavongsayFilmed & Edited by Alisak Sanavongsay==================================================="Ma Der, Ma Der" means "Please come join us" in Lao language.Also follow me on these other Social Networks: FB -- facebook.com/CookingWithNanaTwitter -- twitter.com/MunSiPenBapSiInstagram -- instagram.com/cookingwithnana
C/w Nana: Lao Meatballs ( ລູກຊີ້ນ Luke Seen) Cooking with Nana 2016-04-28 | This is a video to show how to make Lao meatballs. I learned how to make this from a relative who was visiting from Laos a few years ago. I used pork in this video, but the same technique and ingredients can be used with other meats and seafood. Feel free to adjust the flavors to your preference. INGREDIENTS:3 pounds Lean Ground Pork2 tbsp Vegetable Oil (or other oil)2 tbsp Fish Sauce1 tbsp Salt1 tbsp Sugar1 tbsp Chicken Flavor Soup Mix1/2 tbsp White Ground Pepper3 tbsp Corn Starch3 tbsp Lobo Accord Phosphate Powder2 cups Ice WaterI said, "flour" but I meant to say, "corn starch" when I added the first white powder in the ice water. If you can't find the Accord powder, you can use baking powder or more corn starch.It is very important that you keep the meat cold while mixing the ingredients and shaping into balls.In my next video, I will show how to make a quick dipping sauce and also show what the meatballs look like deep-fried and steamed.Cooking with Nana: Lao Meatballs ( ລູກຊີ້ນ == Luke Seen)Hosted by Nana SanavongsayFilmed & Edited by Alisak Sanavongsay==================================================="Ma Der, Ma Der" means "Please come join us" in Lao language.Also follow me on these other Social Networks: FB -- facebook.com/CookingWithNanaTwitter -- twitter.com/MunSiPenBapSiInstagram -- instagram.com/cookingwithnana
