I was born in Poland and raised in Germany before I moved to Canada in my teens... and eventually ended up in TX. Soooo... no matter how you look at it - never even close to Vietnam or its culture. Yet Vietnamese people kept somehow intertwine into my family's life. I am a very conservative Catholic and whether Christian or Buddhist, the Vietnamese people I met always shared the same values as us. My daughter's "bestest friend foreverest" came from Vietnam when they were both in 2nd grade and they both hit it off back then, almost 10 years ago. We are now also friends with her mom, Lan, who is the most caring, sweetest person ever. I've had major health issues and for the last 6 months I am unable to cook for my family (which is killing me more than the physical pain that I suffer from). Lan, despite being alone and quite poor is the only friend who cooks and brings meals for us. Sorry for the long intro, but I just had to pay homage to Vietnam and its people in general, probably because you, Helen seem like another beautiful Vietnamese person with the kindest demeanor and this wisdom that one can detect right away even when only listening to someone talk. So back to stuffed bitter melon... we call it bitter squash... It is THE BOMB! I love everything about it, including the bitterness. When Lan made it for us, she warned us that even though it is healthy, we might not be as crazy about it as we were about other Vietnamese food she made for us. Her daughter actually got into a fight with her saying that she should not make it for us, as it is too bitter and in order to like it one would have to be at least 1% Vietnamese genetically. So I don't know. Maybe we are a tad Vietnamese. Helen, you are absolutely right. This stuff causes unexplainable cravings. My goodness... what is it with the very caucasian and blond me, and Vietnam!!! Lol.
And, since I already made this into an essay... I might as well ask a favor. Do you have a video on how to make this Vietnamese dessert from black sesame and coconut milk? My husband wanted to make it and Lan got him all the ingredients and told the recipe, but it would be better to actually watch someone make it. And also this special banana cake... It's supposed to also be a popular Vietnamese treat. I'd love to see how it's made. Lots of love and blessings to you and your loved ones.
Thanks Helen!
+Joanna Stafish - That is a beautiful Story and I hope you get well soon!
Wow what a read, stumbled here due to nostalgic feelings for bitter melon and thought I'd answer this if just in case you haven't found a recipe for the desserts you were seeking.
The black sesame one sounds like Xi MA and the banana one Che Chuoi.
Hope you were able to find and cook those desserts, if not...search for those two and you should find it on UA-cam
That's a very sweet story. The older vietnamese generation care alot about their relationship with friends, relatives and family. They dont trust easy but once they have trust in you, you are like family. Not sure if it only applies to my family but what I've learned from my parents is that, it doesnt matter if we are poor, as long as you remember the ppl close to you and be happy with what you have.
Agree. I love Vietnamese and also people from Laos.
my boyfriend is Vietnamese and the first time his mom made this for me I hated it. but after I had it a few times I became addicted, I can't get enough of this soup! we like to dip this in a fish sauce / Thai chili pepper mix. it gives a really nice spice. thank you for the recipe I can't wait to make it!
I have had this once and did not like it, but I forced myself to finish it to be polite. That said... I keep getting cravings for it and I am probably going to make it soon. It's odd to have cravings for something I don't like the taste of, lol.
@@DiMacky24 it’s like that for most people who have it first time, some goes for me and I’m Vietnamese
I love when my friends that are non asian open themselves up to eat our food! Love your story and I’m definitely with you with no liking this when first having it and now I find myself asking for it lol my kids said it’s a sign of me getting old!

Thanks Helen's ..I Love U
I just had this soup today from a coworker. Couple years ago, my Taiwanese friend cooked this bitter melon soup and it was my very first time to see this vegetable and I tasted it, didn’t like it ‘cause it was so bitter for me but then I tried again and loved it. I was craving for it today and luckily my Vietnamese coworker brought a pot full of this exact bitter melon soup and I fell in love more 😂 I just wish I could eat this every day because it is actually good for your health especially if you have high cholesterol. Thanks for sharing it on here! 🙏❤️ I will definitely cook this tomorrow.
Thank you for sharing your experience with bitter melon soup! It's amazing how our taste preferences can change over time, isn't it? I'm glad you gave it another chance and fell in love with it. Bitter melon soup is not only delicious but also has health benefits, especially for those with high cholesterol. I'm thrilled that you'll be cooking it tomorrow. Enjoy your homemade bitter melon soup, and thank you for your support! 🙏❤️
Thanks... you saved my nite.
minh cam on Helen nhe,chuong trinh cua Helen rat hay (y)
Thank you for this vid Em. My friend suggested I try bitter melon. I'll try your recipe. Cam on.
Love your recipes. Just amazing. We cook bitter melon in a different way. We first cut them really thin, then add heaps of salt and wash with salt a few times to remove the raw bitterness. Then we fry it. We fry it until it is really golden and crispy. It is my personal favourite. We call it margose and the variety that we have is usually red inside. I discovered that in asian cultures, they stuff the bitter melon with fish and now I am discovering with pork. I don't eat pork but most definitely the idea of stuffing margose with meat is just pure genius. i have had stuffed fish margose but this time will definitely try stuffed meat margose. Thank you for your recipe. I enjoy cooking and enjoy. It is my number passion and pleasure in life. Love the series and keep the recipes going :)
+naw28878787 I haven't tried your method of cooking bitter melon. It sounds like fun

Cute hair, Helen! I've never gotten used to the bitterness of the bitter melon but my parents loves it!
For some reason I'd always thought it was called Kho Hoa as in 'suffering flower' Haha
I used to hate eating bitter melon soup when I was little but now that I'm older I actually miss eating it, and even crave it sometimes.
Thanks for sharing your recipes Helen! :)
type 2 diabetic WISH ME LUCK !
Love your hair and recipes!
Me, my aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandma HATE bitter melon. But my mother LOVES it. I think I'll make this for her birthday. :)
So hungry watching your recipes. Thanks for the post and love the new hair!
Thank you so much
You're most welcome
My favorite is stir fry bitter melon with eggs.
Love the cut! Suits you!
I love bitter melon,the more bitter the more tasty :)
Awesome recipe!!! Thanks so much for sharing!!! ☮️😂
thank you helen. i always try th pilipin stle Mplaya but your is better
Danke dir sehr^^
Awesome
Your hair looks nice in this video. Thanks for all the recipes.
My son's girlfriend is Vietnamese and she made this for me. I have diabetes so she made this dish to help me. It tastes wonderful!
Sooooo delicious!!! :)
that's pretty much how i do it. if you have extra time, i usually make a pork broth by boiling pork bones, water, salt, soy sauce, and black pepper instead of chicken broth powder.
The last time I tried this I was about 12 years old some 31 years ago! I will give it another chance now that I'm older. In my culture, it's an acquired taste but preferred mainly by elders.
love your new haircut its sooooo cute
Love your new hairdo! Very sophisticated👍😊
You're amazing!
Hmmmm. Makes me hungry
I have had bitter melon before and really didn't like it. However, my girlfriend would cook it at least once a week and I crave it now, LOL! She told me that when she was very young living in the Ho Chi Minh City, her father would cook it and she didn't like it at first neither.
Thank you for sharing your story! It's funny how our tastes can change over time. Bitter melon can be an acquired taste, but it's wonderful to hear that your girlfriend's cooking has turned you into a fan. It's even more special that it holds sentimental value for her, reminding her of her father's cooking in Ho Chi Minh City. Food has a way of creating beautiful memories and connecting us to our roots. If you have any more stories or questions, feel free to share. Happy cooking and enjoy your flavorful Stuffed Bitter Melon Soup! 😊🍲
super like for your new hair even though your old one nothing wrong with it
To be honest, the fibrous white part balances out the bitterness of bitter melon. The seeds give it a texture. Anyways, that's a personal preference and I felt like sharing this so that those who are new to bitter melon would know that the white fibrous part is also edible and tasty 😋
rất hay
Your hair looks beautiful! :D And The food looks delicious :)
I love your hair!!
