Awesome place and of course this follows humbleness of someone who appreciates traditions and food, Wish everyone would be like that. Sadly plastic is infesting this place also.
Hmong’s dishes are very simple but yet so rewarding. Nothing fancy but we’re satisfied with it. We cook what we got. 🙏 Hospitality is very big part of our culture. Packing lunch to send off with our guesses or in this case packing veggies is also a thing. Ua Ntsaug to Mark, Ying and Micha for spotlighting us Hmong people.
I’m Chinese married into a Hmong family and I can say that I’m never hungry when I go to Fresno and visit my wife’s family. They’ve always welcomed me as part of their family and my mother in law will always make sure we leave her house with a huge bag of veggies that she grew in her backyard for us!
@@krajchek Oh for sure. They grow everything in that's in this video with the exception of the beans. My mother in law grows long beans instead. I've had every single dish in this video and can highly recommend them all. They taste so good for being so simple. Freshness is so important!
Thank you Chris, right about that, and it's all the more rewarding and delicious when you pick it yourself, and eat it immediately. Hope you're doing well!
Mark I really enjoy all your videos but this one has a special place in my heart because I am Hmong. These are the dishes that my mother used to make and I grew up loving. Especially the chili pepper because it is how I make mine also. Thanks so much for bringing us with you. I was only two when we left for the United States but hopefully one day I will be able to visit villages like this so your video is much appreciated ❤️
Mark, I enjoy this video of your humble Hmong meal in this beautiful mountain village! Those dishes are pretty much the staples of a hmong meal, just simply humble and refreshing. Thank you and God bless your family!
Mark is a person who you don't need to do much, but he can still appreciate and enjoy simple dishes like these. Thank you for trying out what our everyday meals consist of.
Very authentic Hmong! She is not trying to Impress her guests-it’s exactly how she prepares for her family. Well done!❤ The last part where she gave the guest some of the vegetables to go, that’s truly Hmong- no question!
The host mom reminds me so much of my mom, grandmas and aunts...always coming around to refill the rice to make sure there’s enough AND you never leave empty handed. You are incredibly humble! Love your energy Mark! ❤️
This is truly a Hmong Mom's everyday cooking. Even tho it is so simple. It still makes every Hmong person drool and reminisce of their mother's cooking.
Mark, coriander has 3 stages of consumption. Stage 1 is the early stage which is mainly the leaves and stems. This is what people see at the grocery stores and are mainly used in mainstream cooking for example pho, goi cuon(Vietnamese summer roll), laab, bahn xeo, khao poon, bun bo hue, salsa dips etc as garnishes or added flavor. The second stage is when the coriander plant starts to flower and produces green seeds. The white flowers looks like Queen Ann laces. At this stage, the coriander is very strong in fragrance. Some people who are not use to this fragrance won't appreciate the strong flavor but it is used very often in Hmong cooking especially meshing it with the fresh chili and often times with fresh sour cherry tomatoes. The third stage is when the seeds become mature and turns brown. At this stage, the brown seeds are harvested for next season's planting or can be roasted, grinded, or grounded and added to curry dishes whether Indian,Thai cuisine or any other cuisine so long as the chef is comfortable using it in their respective dishes. My 91 year old mother still cooks like this. She has her garden and each summer, she grows the same exact green beans from your video, picks the pumpkin tips, picks the bitter vegetable and cook it in that very simple style. She picks the lace coriander flowers and seeds along with the fresh chilies from the chili plants to make the chili dish to go with her food. She has introduced this type of food to my husband who is Vietnamese. Being a physician, he really appreciates how good and healthy the simple Hmong dishes are. My mother is just like this lady, whenever we have friends over for a visit, they never leave empty handed. Everyone is given a bag full of various vegetables, beans, and herbs( cilantro, green onions, and fresh lemongrass) from her garden.
My husband and I are originally from Northern California where there is a pretty large population of hmong people. We now live in Utah for school and this video has me crying because i miss my grandmas back at home! I truly love when people learn/talk about the hmong community. Not a lot of people know about us. Great video!!😌
Hmong Soul Food; simplicity. You can taste the tears, the struggles, the persecution, the love and the celebration of life. I love watching your videos.
Wow! I love fresh vegetables and herbs. They almost seem to pop with flavor. It proves that simple dishes are world class. What a great hospitable family!!
5:24 "ntxis taub" mean "nip [of the] squash/pumpkin [vine]" "taub" means squash/pumpkin 6:12 "zaug ab" means bitter veges 8:03 "Hwj Txob" is black pepper and "Kua Txob" is pepper 9:15 those are cilantro/coriander when it's at the stage of bearing seeds - for some reason, the coriander that planted by Hmong people has a certain smell when it reaches that stage and I don't like it 10:30 Hmong people eat sticky rice during the New Year and during the New Year there is a totally different type of rice and we called "New Year rice", i would say that 1/100 of the rice planted in a year is sticky rice and the 99/100 are regular rice here's a fun fact about pronouncing "Hmong," in the US there are the Green and White dialect (that family speaks the Green dialect) Green: pronounce "Hmong" as "Mong" (Hmoob - Moob) White: they breathe through their nose at the same time when they say "Hmong"
Mark, I’m not Hmong, Thai or even Asian (that I know of) but I love all of these dishes that she fixed. I am vegetarian. This shows how simple dishes can be delicious. She made cooking those dishes look very easy. Thank you for showing these videos. Blessing to you, Ying and Micah!
Hmong food is simple but refreshing and light. Those food is just the tip of the iceberg, there's more if you dig deeper into our roots. This episode is a special one. I really appreciate your consideration in showcasing Hmong food. Reminds me of my childhood. Thank you Mark, Ying, and Micah.
My parents plant cilantro and when they grow and start to flower the flavors of those leaves will change in flavor. It’s before they start to bud off into seeds usually called coriander ❤️ 🌱
As Hmong American who was born and raised in refugee camp in Thailand, I'm so happy to watch this delicious food video from Sacramento, California. The chilli sauce looks so delicious 😋.
Mark, when she said, "yah thow," she actually said, "it's beans" in Hmong. "Thow" or the correct Hmong spelling "TAUM" is the word for bean. The food looked so simple but so yummy. My mouth watered with that crushed pepper!
I think all of us Hmong subscribers have been waiting for this video 😊 Thanks Mark for all your amazing videos! I hope you know you have a big group of Hmong followers.
Thank you for showcasing our Hmong comfort food Mark! Even though I was born in America and only 24 years of age, these were the go to dishes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I appreciate every little thing you do to give everyone around the world the experience of different culture foods. ❤
Gonna show this to my parents to see how they remember Thailand. Their garden is definitely on the grander scales. Plain soup and rice plus some mov ntsej dej. Sometimes you gotta go back to eating like this to appreciate the simplest things.
Thank you for featuring the comfort food of Hmong on your channel. No matter where we live in the world these veggies are truly the staple and satisfying taste of home and Mom.
I want some now. It’s one of my favorite dish. I am Hmong and all of these foods makes me miss my momma. Thank you for sharing this Mark! I look forward to meeting you one day!! I cannot wait to visit Thailand someday. I haven’t been back since I was 4 years old.
Mark I have never heard of the Hmong people until I watched your videos. I want to meet a Hmong person They are so happy, nice and generous. Thanks Mark for teaching us about food around the world and the people as well. There is nothing better in life then meeting people and eating food from other cultures. PEACE TO ALL
@@BigOnSpiceMarkWiens it’s not confetti coriander. The coriander you experienced are from a normal coriander plant at a more developed stage after the young leaves have grown and are starting bolt in order to flower. My favorite way to make the same chili sauce you ate is with an older coriander plant indeed! Super fragrant.
It's been a while since I left a comment. I've been watching your published Hmong videos on all your channels. I still can't believe you enjoyed all those simple veggie food. The chili is what makes the dish. I'm glad you especially enjoyed the chili. It is confirmed, you can eat with me anytime lol
Im Hmong myself and I’m glad to see you share interest in our food and culture. The meal that she made for you definitely came out of love. The three dishes she made you are all so simple but yet flavorful. Makes me think of my moms own cooking, which warms the soul evry time I take a bite. Whenever you visit a Hmong home, you never go hungry and never leave empty handed, that’s for sure. Would love to see you come to the US and visit a Hmong family here to try how Hmong food transitioned in the US compared to how the culture and food is back home in Thailand/Laos. Love your food tours Mark! Keep them coming. ☺️☺️☺️
That white bowl with those silver spoon is everything! Anything serve in that white bowl is grantee to taste bomb. Thank you for showcasing our Hmong soul food. I really enjoyed this short clip.
If you go to a hmong household as a guest.. they'll always make sure you leave full and satisfied 😃 Til this day, even in the U.S. my parents still give a share of fruit, vegetable or meat to our guests. It's a way of how we show love ♡
Love how you include every ethnic/minority groups living in Thailand. A typical Hmong meal isn't complete without the bland vegetable soup dish. I love eating that combination of the pepper with just plain sticky rice. The cilantro at the flowering stage has stronger and best taste. I love the pumpkin vine soup dish too. Try it with some pumpkin blossoms and oyster mushrooms also add lemongrass, it's awesome flavor.
thank you Mr Wiens for sharing this beautiful plant based video. it is very inspiring learning /discovering various plant based dishes. this will definitely strengthen our immunity. and looks so flavorful as well!
Your simplicity is so wonderful and graciousness means more than anyone can express. Thanks for bringing us such wonderful views and feels of the cultures you explore.
Thank you for more hmong exposure, I'm hmong as well, born and raised in the states but have much appreciated my history and culture. I've grown to realize that although we may not have a country of our own, we are survivors and simple in nature and our culture is strong and still persist!
Love it that even though decades and oceans seperate us we still eat the same dishes as our ancestors no matter where we end up. My favorite Hmong dishes!
Wonderful, I love coconut its refreshing (I make coconut cream with rice at home, delicious)!! Also some Asian/Pacific Islanders cook seaweed as a salad, and you can mix it with other spices and chili oil and combine with other ingredients, I'd say vegetarian food comes from both the land and the ocean (^__^) previews.123rf.com/images/svetazarzamora/svetazarzamora1704/svetazarzamora170400079/75481113-hawaiian-salmon-poke-bowl-with-seaweed-watermelon-radish-cucumber-pineapple-and-sesame-seeds-copy-sp.jpg
I'm Hmong and like a lot of people here I'm subscribed to both your channels. Thank you for showcasing a small chunk of our culture and tradition. Like every other race we aren't perfect but when you find those that love we love generously. Thank you again Mark Wiens and wish you good health to you and your family.
Hey mark really beautiful scenery & simple effective food, reminds me of my hometown scotland, u should come over here we are much more than deep fried food😂 could show u the best aberdeen angus steaks the best game known to man comes from british land and of course the fruit n veg (obv not as exotic as the fruit and veg u manage to get) but still very fresh, i also fish alot of local scottish rivers for tout, eel, crabs, lobster, also our shellfish is fantastic from clams to musssels, whelks and oysters, keep up the good work 💙💙💙🇬🇧
Simple food ,simple life as i noticed or observed thai people are so content in the simplicity of life and the genuity and sincerity in serving foods to people are superb .
Hi Mark i am reslly enjoying these stay at home Thai videos.....what are true nature veges an fresh organic food......really really wish i was there to move around with u ....Ying an Micah loving these videos so very much......looking forward to seeing much much more videos....waking up an viewing true nature......ual take care an be safe....❤❤🙏🙏🙏
I love how simple fresh food can taste so good. That herb she used is mature stage of Coriander before the seed harden. It’s one of my favorite herbs to grow. I love using the dried seeds like peppercorn too! Love your new channel Mark!
Wow! These are my parents and my inlaws favorite dishes. So happy to see you enjoy the dishes that I also absolutely love eating when I visit my family. The Hmong lady is so sweet. Most Hmong elders always pack food or vegetables for their special guests or families when they send them off. Love this!!!
I'm watching as all other Hmong people come out of the woodwork. If i was there I wouldn't last because us Hmong American eat all our meals with meat lol
Its just mature coriander. Before it starts producing seeds and even when it has seed pods which are green, you can eat it. The more mature it is the flavour seems to intensify and its incredible with fresh chili like that.
I was going to say the same thing. A comment above said it was a wild dill but I believe its just the older coriander. I used to hate the herb at this stage in development, I prefer the younger leaves and stem, but definitely the more mature leaves and stem has a lot more flavor and a pungent smell
I laughed so hard when she handed you the bags of veg. Yep that’s a Hmong mother. Still sends me home with herbs from her garden every time I see her. Thanks Mark! Really made me miss my mom’s food.
how sweet of grandma n daughter. yes fresh fr the garden why not. haizzz . i am thrilled when granny cooked mark those veggies plus some takeaways. nice people. simple life no worries
20 years ago when you tell people you are "Hmong" nobody would know. Thanks for showing us some love today. People now have an idea of who the Hmong people are. Very common food to eat. Bitter vegetables with pepper. Mark wins again! Done subscribe to all your channels 🔥🔥🔥🔥
😋 all traditional Hmong comfort food. Love the simple but fresh dishes! So happy that you are exploring the Hmong cuisine and sharing it with the world.
As a Hmong immigrants to the US post Vietnam War thank you very much for showcasing this series. I'm a very big foodie since both parents were simple farmers and cooks. Thanks again for showcasing our people and culture and I wish I have your JOB!
Great video Mark! If only I was in town without this whole pandemic, I would have loved to collab with you in this video! Love seeing the new and old ways in cooking Hmong food :) Reminds me of my grandma's cooking in Nan. Keep more Hmong videos coming as I do my best to showcase them as well. Simplicity at it's best :)
Our hmong pplz we love to share food n giving away veggies or food when they leave we have big heart n giving...Love watching ur UA-cam n i glad u visit our pplz...u r amazing Mark ❤❤❤
I’m Hmong and watching these videos is seriously cool. You’re seriously so humble and appreciative mark and it truly shows!
Awesome place and of course this follows humbleness of someone who appreciates traditions and food, Wish everyone would be like that. Sadly plastic is infesting this place also.

Lawrence Ha hope they have good ingredients there in Fresno :)
just look at tha view the people have to look at while planting the vegtables.....so fresh and so very lucky/blessed :)
@@krajchek Oh for sure. They grow everything in that's in this video with the exception of the beans. My mother in law grows long beans instead. I've had every single dish in this video and can highly recommend them all. They taste so good for being so simple. Freshness is so important!

This comment gave me the feels. This is the first Hmong food video that made me feel like home.

Wow! I love fresh vegetables and herbs. They almost seem to pop with flavor. It proves that simple dishes are world class. What a great hospitable family!!
Hello there. How are you? Its nice to meet you on here and I hope to keep in touch. Cheers
Mark, that was a beautiful way of shining the spotlight on my people. Thank you for your humbleness and respect for all cultures.
5:24 "ntxis taub" mean "nip [of the] squash/pumpkin [vine]"
"taub" means squash/pumpkin
6:12 "zaug ab" means bitter veges
8:03 "Hwj Txob" is black pepper and "Kua Txob" is pepper
9:15 those are cilantro/coriander when it's at the stage of bearing seeds - for some reason, the coriander that planted by Hmong people has a certain smell when it reaches that stage and I don't like it
10:30 Hmong people eat sticky rice during the New Year and during the New Year there is a totally different type of rice and we called "New Year rice", i would say that 1/100 of the rice planted in a year is sticky rice and the 99/100 are regular rice
here's a fun fact about pronouncing "Hmong," in the US there are the Green and White dialect (that family speaks the Green dialect)
Green: pronounce "Hmong" as "Mong" (Hmoob - Moob)
White: they breathe through their nose at the same time when they say "Hmong"
Amazing people, love it!
Cool! Thank you!!!!
When veggies are fresh from the garden, they taste SO much better. Plant-based is the best! What a lovely place with lovely people.
We all need an auntie like her. She is so genuine and so kind. I would love to eat those healthy food that she cooked ❤️❤️❤️

Your simplicity is so wonderful and graciousness means more than anyone can express. Thanks for bringing us such wonderful views and feels of the cultures you explore.
Good morning Everyone! God bless and be Safe on this beautiful morning! Hey Mark,Ying and Micah🥰
Thank you for more hmong exposure, I'm hmong as well, born and raised in the states but have much appreciated my history and culture. I've grown to realize that although we may not have a country of our own, we are survivors and simple in nature and our culture is strong and still persist!
"...In Thai that means bitter...bitter vegetable so it must be...bitter." 😂
I love all greens so would be all over this meal. 👍
Love it that even though decades and oceans seperate us we still eat the same dishes as our ancestors no matter where we end up. My favorite Hmong dishes!
Yummy, I do eat all those vegetables in my country also, Papua New Guinea. We also cook it with coconut cream.
MJIXXZ B must be so delicious
Wonderful, I love coconut its refreshing (I make coconut cream with rice at home, delicious)!! Also some Asian/Pacific Islanders cook seaweed as a salad, and you can mix it with other spices and chili oil and combine with other ingredients, I'd say vegetarian food comes from both the land and the ocean (^__^) previews.123rf.com/images/svetazarzamora/svetazarzamora1704/svetazarzamora170400079/75481113-hawaiian-salmon-poke-bowl-with-seaweed-watermelon-radish-cucumber-pineapple-and-sesame-seeds-copy-sp.jpg

@@MARIESDELISHDISH God bless you my friend, in Genesis the bible it says original diet is Vegan for us its healthy + longevity 💚🌸🌺🌿🍀
@Marie's KINDA LIFE yes fresh coconut cream is the main ingredient to all of our authentic dishes here in the Pacific.
I'm Hmong and like a lot of people here I'm subscribed to both your channels. Thank you for showcasing a small chunk of our culture and tradition. Like every other race we aren't perfect but when you find those that love we love generously. Thank you again Mark Wiens and wish you good health to you and your family.
The "coriander" is Asian wild dill 😁
Mark! Thank you for putting Hmong food on the map. Those are real authentic Hmong food. Them dishes are so healthy. 🙏
Hey mark really beautiful scenery & simple effective food, reminds me of my hometown scotland, u should come over here we are much more than deep fried food😂 could show u the best aberdeen angus steaks the best game known to man comes from british land and of course the fruit n veg (obv not as exotic as the fruit and veg u manage to get) but still very fresh, i also fish alot of local scottish rivers for tout, eel, crabs, lobster, also our shellfish is fantastic from clams to musssels, whelks and oysters, keep up the good work 💙💙💙🇬🇧
Love your love and appreciation for simple food of simple folk. It is worth more than all the riches of the modern world.
Mark the plant is coriander plant when it goes to flower. After that it will develop into to seeds.
Great, thank you Catherine!
Whenever I feeling down, I recharge the batteries just looking at Mark, his happiness is contagious.
This is what people also eat in my country on days without meat!Simple and green!
Simple food ,simple life as i noticed or observed thai people are so content in the simplicity of life and the genuity and sincerity in serving foods to people are superb .

I love how simple fresh food can taste so good. That herb she used is mature stage of Coriander before the seed harden. It’s one of my favorite herbs to grow. I love using the dried seeds like peppercorn too! Love your new channel Mark!
Now we are having an amazing day!! 🙌
Wow! These are my parents and my inlaws favorite dishes. So happy to see you enjoy the dishes that I also absolutely love eating when I visit my family.
The Hmong lady is so sweet. Most Hmong elders always pack food or vegetables for their special guests or families when they send them off. Love this!!!
Mark that looks like mature coriander. It has flowered and that changes the flavor slightly.
Yes!
I like to let it go a little further and pick the immature green seeds!! They are soft yet FULL of flavor.
Just to see the smiles and love on the faces of these people. So much peace there. God's richest blessings.
I'm watching as all other Hmong people come out of the woodwork.
If i was there I wouldn't last because us Hmong American eat all our meals with meat lol
Literally drooling over these dishes bc I grew up eating them and they also remind me of home and my mom.
Its just mature coriander. Before it starts producing seeds and even when it has seed pods which are green, you can eat it. The more mature it is the flavour seems to intensify and its incredible with fresh chili like that.
I was going to say the same thing. A comment above said it was a wild dill but I believe its just the older coriander. I used to hate the herb at this stage in development, I prefer the younger leaves and stem, but definitely the more mature leaves and stem has a lot more flavor and a pungent smell
Yes it’s a mature coriander or in other words, cilantro. I guess a lot of people have not seen a mature cilantro plant before. 🤣😂
These hmong food bring me back when I were young with my parents
Thank you
What is your secret of staying so slim even after travelling everywhere and eating so many different foods..
He responded in one of his videos or comments before that he doesn't consume anything sweet/sugary.
Thats why Pad Thai isn't really a favorite dish of his since its a bit on the sweeter side.
I love it when you go to hmong areas. All the dishes she cooked are hmong classic dishes 😍
I laughed so hard when she handed you the bags of veg. Yep that’s a Hmong mother. Still sends me home with herbs from her garden every time I see her. Thanks Mark! Really made me miss my mom’s food.

20 years ago when you tell people you are "Hmong" nobody would know. Thanks for showing us some love today. People now have an idea of who the Hmong people are. Very common food to eat. Bitter vegetables with pepper. Mark wins again! Done subscribe to all your channels 🔥🔥🔥🔥
😋 all traditional Hmong comfort food. Love the simple but fresh dishes! So happy that you are exploring the Hmong cuisine and sharing it with the world.
As a Hmong immigrants to the US post Vietnam War thank you very much for showcasing this series. I'm a very big foodie since both parents were simple farmers and cooks. Thanks again for showcasing our people and culture and I wish I have your JOB!
Great video Mark! If only I was in town without this whole pandemic, I would have loved to collab with you in this video! Love seeing the new and old ways in cooking Hmong food :) Reminds me of my grandma's cooking in Nan. Keep more Hmong videos coming as I do my best to showcase them as well. Simplicity at it's best :)
