Welcome to Yami's blog. Thank you for visiting my blog. If you're interested in Hmong food, you came to the right blog. I have a numerous of videos how to cook Hmong food. Make your way to my youtube channel and watch what interest you. If you noticed why I have a lot of boiled dishes, what Hmong youngsters will called it today "Old people food." It is because I am focusing on Hmong traditional food. In the old days, in Laos. Luxury food was meat, any kind, especially boiled chicken with rice, that was considered luxury food.

Therefore there will be many boiled dishes and less fried dishes. There were not many fried dishes in the old days. The reason to that is Hmong people lived in the mountains of Laos, therefore they did not have much to eat. They were less fortunate. They also do not have many dishes like other cultures but they do have numerous of amazing dishes. It wasn't until after the Vietnam war that the Hmong people learned many other dishes from other cultures. Today there are Hmong people in America, Laos, China, Vietnam, Australia, France and perhaps many other countries as well. Many Hmong people around the world today has created their own recipe that it has also became one of Hmong's dish. I have a few dishes of those on my youtube channel if you are interested.

For many other recipes, please check out my youtube channel.

I made my pho broth with only three ingredients

Last night I saw my sister post on facebook that she had pho for dinner so since I am 2000 miles away. I couldn't join her for pho. =(  So this evening I made my own! hehe I made my broth with only three ingredients!  My husband and I visited the closest Asian store to us and bought what they had. They didn't have much but we also didn't want to travel far. I thought to myself, "Might as well go to a pho restaurant,"But we took our chance and made the broth with only three ingredients and it turned out pretty darn good. Yum!

Boiled Pork with Mustard Greens brings back many memories

Image
Boiled pork with mustard greens. This is one of Hmong's well known traditional dish. Today when I see this dish. It reminds me of year 2005 when I went to Laos with my parents. It was the first dish that we ate when we arrived to one of my father's relatives village. The village was called Long-hay. My sister and brother in law who lived in Laos, in a town called 52 took us to Long-hay. It was a very very far drive, we woke up very early that morning. The sun didn't rise yet and we were already on our way. There, my brother in law drove us to the highest mountains where Long-hay was. There were no lights at all. I was shocked, mostly afraid. I was afraid we will get into an accident because the only light there was, was my brother in law's headlights! I don't know how he drove in the dark until the sun rise but I was amazed. Still amazed until this day because it wasn't just dark. We were going downhill, uphill and the roads were also curvy. The roads to get
