Nana, I am a hmong wife and daughter/sister-in-law of a lao family. Not only do i dont know how to cook lao food but im also not much of a good cook. I gave this recipe a try and it was a hit! Everybody loved it. First time everybody gave positive feedback to my cooking. I will continue to watch your videos and try them out for my husband and in-laws. Thank you so much for your videos! :D you're a life saver...well, something like that :D Please do post more lao food videos. Others might want to try it to try something different but for people like me in my situation will rely a lot on videos like this! Again thank you Nana!
Thank you for your page!!! I am 23 and Laotian. I live on my own and has since I was 17 and I love referring to your videos when I cook traditional foods thank for UA-cam
Thank you, Nana for this recipe...well actually all your recipes, lol. I made this tonight and it was sooooo good!! I've actually made quite a few of your recipes since I found your channel six months ago. It takes a lot of courage to go public and have people criticize you so I thank you for continuing to help the rest of us who love you!!
Thank you very much for making your videos!! For sharing!! You are such a good hearted person! Thank you also for the warm welcome to your home. I feel blessed to be welcome and to get to learn to cook some of these recipes. It touches my heart. Without your videos I would never once even in my life get to experience Lao culture. I grew up in the US so unless I have the money and means to take a trip to Laos I won't get to experience any Lao. Thank you again!!
You don't know how much I appreciate your videos. I've always wanted to learn to cook Lao Food for my own family since I never got to learn from my own mom was I was younger. =) Thank you!!! Please post more!
I love all your cooking tutorial. I am your number one fan. I tried one of your recipe and it turned out really good. I can not wait to use your other video to guide me on my next cooking adventure. Thank you for keeping the Lao cooking tradition alive.☆♥★♡ ;)
I just made this dish using one pack of noodles; I'm so glad I went ahead and only used 1/2 cup of sugar as opposed to the full cup. Can't imagine how sweet it would've been! I should've halved the rest of the ingredients too...ended up just throwing away the rest of the sauce. It turned out really delicious though!! Thank you so much for the recipe!
aww, you could have saved the sauce for later. This was enough for 2 pounds of noodles. I just looked at the instructions in the description and it said 1 pkg of noodles. It was supposed to be 2 pkgs. Thanks for letting me know your result.
Subscribed! I've been wondering how to make this since I was a little girl but never knew what it was called and no one ever knew what I was taking about. You just made me one happy pregnant wife!! Having the hubby go shopping tomorrow for ingredients!
Thank you so much for the tutorial. I am Laos and moved away from home. I wanted some of this and couldnt remember how to make it. You are a life saver!! Khop chai lai lai Euy Nana! =)
I made this dish after seeing it on your channel! My family thought it was a little too sweet for them, but I thought it was delicious! Great job and keep those videos coming!
Bouathong Thepsombath It should not be too sweet, but some people like it sweeter. You can use more noodles or less sugar depending on how you like it. Thanks for watching.
I've been thinking about this dish because I always have an extra bag of pho noodles after making pho, I was going to ask my mom for her recipe. I'm definitely making this today!!! Thanks!!
Yummy.... I've watched this video like 10 times... I'm going to try to make it. I love all of your videos... please continue posting more. Can you do a pad Thai video also. I've seen so many and tried cooking them but they just don't taste right. All of the things that I've cooked from your recipes have always turned out fantastic. ... thanks
Nha gin, jung loey! I love your recipes, Nhong Nana. Though i was in Isan, Thailand (Udonthani), I learned to absolutely LOVE Lao food. Thank you for this recipe. It looks soooooo good! Kop jai lai. Juh gun mai. Michael
Thank you so much for sharing your recipe! I love your videos because you cook from your heart ❤️... Side note: but I'm very concerned with the plastic spoon you're using that it may melt and it's health hazardous...
Al Eng thank you for your kind words and concerns. These are actually melamine spoons, not regular plastic spoons. They are rated for over 280 degrees F. This video was shot over 5 years ago and I think I still have this spoon. I like to use this kind of spoon because it doesn’t scratch my nonstick pots and pans. The scratches on this pan were from other people using metal spoons on it.
I made this last night with papaya salad sticky rice and la peik (added qual eggs and mushrooms this time) hubby loved loved it. will try to take and post a pic on fb wit the left overs.Thk you so much for sharing ur talent keep them coming plz....
I’m going to try this recipe! Of course you need msg 😊 if no msg then no Lao food lol. Like Any other Asian food, msg makes it better. Thanks for sharing.
I tried this recipe today and it tasted amazing but my noodles ended up being too hard. Does that mean I need to cook it longer? I did add some water thinking it would help but it didn't.
bngo4, I was heading out the house when the video was being uploaded. I hope to have the written recipe in the description soon so you can try it out for the 4th of July holiday, right? (that's if you live in USA). :)
it looks really yummy. but me i would add little more noodles so it wont be too soggy like too wet or too much of liquid. thats just my thought but i like looking at your recipes.
Mos Vaj you are right it should not be soggy. When I made the video five years ago I didn’t give enough time to let everything cool down. When the sauce and noodles cool down it won’t look soggy.
I know you said use half the sauce for 1 pkg but if I use 2 pkg of noodles will I need to also double up on sugar/oil/shallots/garlic? Or just cook as normal and put 2 packages in and the entire sauce mixture?
You made enough sauce for 2 packs of pho.. the oil needs to be hot first than add the sugar. You have to cook on medium heat so the noodles wont burn. you forgot lemon or vinegar to balance the sweetness. And its too wet to eat right away. Your suppose to let it cool down and then separate the noodles. Instead of msg.. sub it for chicken bouillon for those who dont like msg. I dont know what region this kua mee originated from, maybe from ban nog? Lol. This tutorial is all wrong
Sophany Thong You can use the kikkoman soy sauce, but it will make it taste very different. Thin soy sauce is not very hard to find at the Asian market.
naly3782 I think you meant Cooking with Nana: Tum Mua (Spicy `Everything` Salad) in this video I used khaopoon noodles but you can use any noodles you like.
Mijn naam Wow, how rude. Keep your stupid comment to yourself. You're just jealous she makes good food and you can't. So you came on here to watch and learn.

Always love watching your videos! There are lots of different versions I know but I always come back to yours.... always authentic.
Thank you so much Nana. You’re the sunshine of our family.
Nana... You are a great chef! I tried most of every menu you showed on UA-cam and it turned out great!

Too sauce must be very salty 🧂 I cooked 🍳 mine very dry oil 🛢 garlic and noodles 🍜 stir fry until soft then put sauce lightly
Just made this tonight...it turned out delish! Thanks for the recipe!! Keep up the great work!
Thank you for sharing. ❤
I've been thinking about this dish because I always have an extra bag of pho noodles after making pho, I was going to ask my mom for her recipe. I'm definitely making this today!!! Thanks!!
ritaho85 did you make it and how did it turn out? I'm sure it turned out great. ;)
I made this for dinner with less sugar than what you did. The family loved it. I served it on a bed of romaine lettuce with long slivers of cucumbers.
Love your video and especially when you list the ingredients . I love Laos food, but don't really know how to cook it.
wow. I am going to have to try this. thanks for the measurements because alot of asians dont measure their ingredients lol. but this was perfect
Definitely trying this out! I love your videos!
All of your videos are easy to follow.
Thank you Nana!! I will try this dish soon. I want some now.
joy garcia Did you try this yet?
This will be my next experiment soon. Wish me luck Nana and I will let you know how it goes. Hugs!
Yummy.... I've watched this video like 10 times... I'm going to try to make it. I love all of your videos... please continue posting more. Can you do a pad Thai video also. I've seen so many and tried cooking them but they just don't taste right. All of the things that I've cooked from your recipes have always turned out fantastic. ... thanks
TheKiamm I will squeeze in some pad Thai if I have time, but right now I'm trying to concentrate on Lao food, which is harder to find.
Mmm looks so delicious. Thanks for sharing Nana.
It depends on the noodle you used. If you used dry noodles, you have to soak them in water until soft (about 30 min.)
Nha gin, jung loey! I love your recipes, Nhong Nana. Though i was in Isan, Thailand (Udonthani), I learned to absolutely LOVE Lao food. Thank you for this recipe. It looks soooooo good! Kop jai lai. Juh gun mai. Michael

You're awesome Thank you:))
savannah tisdale Thank you for watching.

I loved this tutorial! Is there somehow I can use a different noodle, will it still be the same?
+Quynh Le, you can use any noodle that is similar in texture to the pho noodles. If the noodle breaks apart easily, it won't work.
Can you put the recipe in the descriptions please?
been da sapp nor sis!
How lao people really do this noodle recipe? Based on the sauces you used, almost all of them are similarly used in thailand.
Nana.....how about one for Lad Na talay please!!!
👌👍👍👍
I know you said use half the sauce for 1 pkg but if I use 2 pkg of noodles will I need to also double up on sugar/oil/shallots/garlic? Or just cook as normal and put 2 packages in and the entire sauce mixture?
Cook as normal and put in the 2 packages of noodles.
Nana do I need to use the thin soy sauce ? Or is optional
yea im thai so i see it is not pad thai but it looks so yummy. im going to make this. thanks nana:)
walaiwan kerdsati Make sure you allow the noodles to cool down before adding the garnish. have fun!
Cooking with Nana
Anyone ever try this without sugar? I've been searching for a recipe that doesn't have sugar
This style of noodles is meant to have some sweetness.
I gain 5lbs just by watching each of her videos.
AVALY T only 5 pounds? You need to watch more, then. lol.
You made enough sauce for 2 packs of pho.. the oil needs to be hot first than add the sugar. You have to cook on medium heat so the noodles wont burn. you forgot lemon or vinegar to balance the sweetness. And its too wet to eat right away. Your suppose to let it cool down and then separate the noodles. Instead of msg.. sub it for chicken bouillon for those who dont like msg. I dont know what region this kua mee originated from, maybe from ban nog? Lol. This tutorial is all wrong
Cup chai lai lai!
hoi Nana. please show me how to make kanom kok. one as sweet dessert and one savory with nam cheem
as always, thank you!
foodlovers I bought the pan last year to make this, but haven't had time to make it yet.
will wait, thank you!
Caption says green onion (with shallots) but I think you meant garlic 😁
imChanthip at which part? At 0:44 is green onion and cilantro.
smilealways06, please be sure to share your result when you try to make this. :)
What if I don't have thin soy sauce? Can I replace it with kikkoman brand soy sauce?
Sophany Thong You can use the kikkoman soy sauce, but it will make it taste very different. Thin soy sauce is not very hard to find at the Asian market.
SpeedDynamix, if you use mee mama, the noodle might not hold up.
Do you know how to make a dish similar to papaya except you use pho noodles and meatballs? My friend said its call sexy papaya?
naly3782 I think you meant Cooking with Nana: Tum Mua (Spicy `Everything` Salad) in this video I used khaopoon noodles but you can use any noodles you like.
oh my ku pen tha sap li
Lao pan thai lol cheers
Filipino kb nana
Nkapag abroad k lang nkalimutan muna filipino food

Lol yes, it is a really old pan. I think it was at least 5 years old when the video was shot. And I still have it now 7 years later.
Bkit hindi filipino food niluto mo

.
So much sugar and fat, dont eat this and you be like her
You know you're fat too. That's why you're watching this video, to satisfy your fat food craving
Mijn naam Wow, how rude. Keep your stupid comment to yourself. You're just jealous she makes good food and you can't. So you came on here to watch and learn.
