Hi! My name is Tanoy, which is actually tha-noy, meaning small eyes, and I was born and raised in Lao. Living in a Lao family with an English fiance who is curious about our culture is a little difficult. I always had difficulties trying to explain to him what type of food we have and I'm so glad that this channel is here to help with it. Because my mom doesn't use measurements, it's hard to copy her cooking and she never properly explain it like you do. Thank you for having this channel!!!
Nana, glad to see that your channel is still active. Have loved watching you cook your cultural food. I am not Laotian, but love Lao food. Thank you for sharing your recipes!
I just wanted to thank you for making these cooking videos! I just made this over the weekend and it was a success! I don't normally get to go home from college and have my mom teach me how to cook her Lao food so I always just watch your videos for inspiration. I appreciate it! Keep up the good work and keep posting yummy recipes! 😊
This are my favourite food in Thailand I alway eat this at the night market I’m back to Germany and thank you medem for sharing your recipes I’m going to try this delicious food ❤
oh, I found it. Thank you so much Nana. After my mother-n-law passed, we don't get to enjoy her Lao food. I missed eating a lot of her authentic Lao dishes. She taught me a few dishes, but still can't make it as good as hers ;c A lot of your dishes reminds me of her foods, so thank you for your time in making this possible for someone like me ;)
Nana, you always take the recipes up a notch. Adding chicken feet and pork blood, I haven't seen any other recipe for khaopoon that includes this in the recipe.
Thank you Uie Nana. I made this last week and it was delicious. I added a little but if sugar because that's how my Grandma makes it. Thanks you again.
I seriously love your channel! As a young Lao-American it is great to learn on my own time how to make traditional foods for when I get home sick while I am in college. Keep it up! :)
Khao poon the way you make it is almost like bun Bo Huè (spicy beef noodle), except in bun Bo Huè you don’t put coconut or bamboo shoot. I tried your recipe and my husband loves it!!! Thank you 🙏🏼
Hello Nana.. your videos r so inspiring. . Such a delicious cook u are. I have been on ur channel most this whole week.. I myslf love to cook. And I have been trying couple of your dishes. . Turns out so amazingly delicious.. thanks for ur easy step by step guide. And keep those super duper ymmy dishes comming.
Nana, you are my inspiration. You make LAOS food too easy to make. I really appreciate your "lil" advice preference bc there is always optional ingredients to choose from when cooking. I like you style and your popular saying, " mun see ben bap see" ( it's gonna look like this). A new fan Kai!!!
Nana, please create your own website for Lao food. I just love your videos. Having a website for reference would be so helpful. Thesre recipes remind me of my Mom's cooking! Thank you so much. Please keep making more videos!
Green Man is that a good kind of “lost” or you were totally confused by the instructions? :-) Full written instructions are in the video description if you want to try making it.
Nana, can put start putting the list of ingredients in the description or at the beginning of the video? Thanks. I love watching your videos. Helps me a lot.
Hi,wholahayy. Mien people are one of the many Lao ethnic groups from Laos, which means Mien versions of dishes are still technically Lao-style. There are many versions of Lao-style khao poon, which include Mien and Khmu. Similarly, Chinese-style noodle dishes also include Cantonese and Hokkien. The Cantonese and Hokkien of China are also "Chinese" in China, since Chinese is a nationality. The Mien and Khmu of Laos are also "Lao" in Laos, since Lao is a nationality. Various ethnic groups in Laos share the Lao nationality just like various ethnic groups in China share the Chinese nationality. Chinese is to Hokkien as Lao is to Mien. Chinese and Lao are nationalities, whereas Hokkien and Mien are their respective ethnic groups. Therefore, a "Cantonese" version of a dish is still technically considered "Chinese" and similarly, a "Mien" version of a dish is still technically considered "Lao". Regardless of regional/tribal affiliations, the Chinese label applies to all regional and ethnic foods of China and the Lao label also applies to all regional and ethnic foods of Laos.
Ok, now that I'm awake.... I used about 10 cloves of garlic and 15-20 whole shallots. I chopped them in an electric chopper. Please keep in mind too that it's very big pot, so make sure you have lots of people to share with you, or scale down the ingredients. If you can, please post pictures of your results on my FB/CookingWithNana or Google+
Nana, when buying pork blood, what are we supposed to look for? I've bought cooked pork blood at our Asian market and boiled it to ensure that the pork was fully cooked, but when I cooked the finished product the blood was still oozing red liquid from it. I don't know if I bought a rotten block or what but I don't trust it. I think I will stick with the raw blood but I have no idea how to buy it and what to look for. Please help!
I'll be right over. BTW naw mai, dtin gai and leuat moo are not optional! They are MANDATORY! Wow! I am so happy to discover you. I referred a young lady from Hot Thai Kitchen to you. I hope she subbed. the first "Thai" food I learned to love was actually Lao in Udornthani Thailand.
I'm so lucky to have Lao friends that introduced this to me. It is my favorite. Question: I'm not too fond of Paprika. How important is the spice? Will it still taste good without it?
The second red curry (in the plastic container), I used the same amount as one little can. So, you can use three of those little cans if you want. The shallots and garlic was about two cups total. Use more shallots than garlic. I have to doublecheck in the morning. I'm half asleep right now. lol.
I've seen a few video of your's and this has got to be the most shocking! It's not shocking in relation to the recipe whatsoever but your guest host is actually someone I know! In fact, I grew up with Sally and her sister Annie. I went to elementary school and pretty much all the way through high school with Annie so when I saw Sally, I immediately have to let out a laugh. What a small world it is. I'm living in Europe now and suddenly felt like I was not so far from home :)
sorry, and you added some of the red curry paste... the second one.. how much more of that do we need too? sorry! i wanna try it out because i make nasty khao poon and really wanna try this one out.
Nana, I dont know how to prepare the pork blood.. I am lost.. I usually have to buy mines frozen from the Asian stores.. Do I boil the blood?? If you can make a video on how to congeal the pork blood, I would much appreciate it!!! Love your cooking!!! Thank you
Paj Hawj yes, you can save the leftover chili sauce in the fridge for later. But don't add the coconut if you won't use it right away. You just warm it up again with the coconut before adding to the broth.
Christian Giap this video is over 4 years old. We were experimenting with bilingual instructions back then but it took too much time. My newer videos are in English. Full recipe from this video are in the description.
:( I wish you wouldve kept it half & half. I don't have any family left. And I don't exactly live in a place that's heavily populated w/ Lao ppl. So sometimes, yeah, I feel like I've lost touch w/ my roots. Sometimes I come to youtube to watch things, & it's like yep, yep, understand that part. What? Don't understand some other parts. But geeze, I'm surprised I even remember what I do remember. If not for youtube, I wouldn't have even have acknowledged that. There's a Lao eye dr. at Wal-Mart though. But she asks me way too many intrusive questions. I'm not really trying to be chummy, chummy w/ someone who's kind of a stranger either. That's so awkward. And she's so nosey too!!! Ok back to your videos.
Bc of this video, I always thought I was eating blood. I guess I should watch things more thoroughly or something. Bc I don't ever remember eating cubes of blood. I just remember the bright colors, so I just assumed... Not to insinuate there's anything wrong w/ your ingredients. I just know my mom made it differently. I guess it's the curry, that gave it that color.
Any indication on the quantity required for each ingredient? This is our first time and even though this is not "exact science", reproducibility of your recipe is more likely should you mention at least a gross estimate of the quantity you used. This is my only comment for now. Will be trying it tomorrow.
The problem is, with exception of the bamboo shoots, the use of curdled pig blood and chicken feet is scary to the "unbaptized" of the western world ;-). I love how you adhere to the true ingredients of the cuisine of Lao and Isan. Please check out hmongfood and berniemac2177 (khmer). I just love exploring these cuisines; which are so similar that they could be appreciated by all who love the food of Southeast Asia. Michael

Nana, can put start putting the list of ingredients in the description or at the beginning of the video? Thanks. I love watching your videos. Helps me a lot.
Joe Vorachack we are launching a website soon (hopefully next week) to list the ingredients and help people make smaller portions.
I love khao poon. Mien people make it too just like this-but I prefer Lao style khao poon! Yummm

watching this is making my mouth water. we usually dont put chicken feet in ours tho. but we do like to top it with muk tua too!
Ok, now that I'm awake.... I used about 10 cloves of garlic and 15-20 whole shallots. I chopped them in an electric chopper. Please keep in mind too that it's very big pot, so make sure you have lots of people to share with you, or scale down the ingredients. If you can, please post pictures of your results on my FB/CookingWithNana or Google+
u should write down all the ingredients::: shopping list ... I miss a nice home cook meal
I love your videos!!! I want to ask you what brand of prapika do you use?
Nana, when buying pork blood, what are we supposed to look for? I've bought cooked pork blood at our Asian market and boiled it to ensure that the pork was fully cooked, but when I cooked the finished product the blood was still oozing red liquid from it.

I'm so lucky to have Lao friends that introduced this to me. It is my favorite. Question: I'm not too fond of Paprika. How important is the spice? Will it still taste good without it?
Deckard Solo I use paprika mostly for the color. it will still taste good without it.
Yummy can't wait to try this!!! Love your cooking!!! 😛
Thank you! Please be sure to let me know how it turned out.
Hi Nana.. I love watching your videos!! I know the fish is the same but can you make a video using fish instead of chicken??
SwTBbGrl99 Yeah, the fish is the same. If I have time, I will make the fish one, but been too busy to make any videos lately.
what's all the tiny little stuff floating in the boiling water before u put the herbs in?
lol....hmmm
Peelmeone: absolutely agree. You don't get the same 'feeling' without those ingredients.
mickietong, did you make it? If so, how did it turn out?
The second red curry (in the plastic container), I used the same amount as one little can. So, you can use three of those little cans if you want. The shallots and garlic was about two cups total. Use more shallots than garlic. I have to doublecheck in the morning. I'm half asleep right now. lol.

Nana.... was this recipe spicy? how do we make unspicy curry? please share your ideas and techniques.
ja man vao pen ta huck nor kob jai der pen ta zap lai.... I LOVE IT
sorry, and you added some of the red curry paste... the second one.. how much more of that do we need too? sorry! i wanna try it out because i make nasty khao poon and really wanna try this one out.
Mmm sap sap nana! I need to make it like this!
Nana, I dont know how to prepare the pork blood.. I am lost.. I usually have to buy mines frozen from the Asian stores.. Do I boil the blood?? If you can make a video on how to congeal the pork blood, I would much appreciate it!!! Love your cooking!!! Thank you
Thank you nana
looks good yummy
that's a lot of shrimp paste! I usually use fish sauce never put shrimp paste in my Khaopoon! Sap Na~!
Can you make a video of how to cure the lut? I mean pigs blood?
This is a lot of work but looks sooo yummy.
iyanla09 yes, lots of work, but yummy. :)
Looks so delicious. I wanted to eat with you.
looks great
I got real hungry watching this
Can we save the leftover chilly sauce if we don’t use it all? And for how long is it good in the fridge/freezer?
Paj Hawj yes, you can save the leftover chili sauce in the fridge for later. But don't add the coconut if you won't use it right away. You just warm it up again with the coconut before adding to the broth.
Sis can I cook the chicken and the chicken feet at the same time in the same pot?
great tutorial! Just like how my mom makes it.
Monkfan72: I always cook to feed a village. Lol. That's the first thing people need to realize when they watch my videos.
so does she speak english fluently or not?? looks good imma try this recipe next. can any lao verify if this is an authentic way to make it?
Christian Giap this video is over 4 years old. We were experimenting with bilingual instructions back then but it took too much time. My newer videos are in English. Full recipe from this video are in the description.
Cooking with Nana ohhhh I was so confused why parts were in perfect English then back to Laotian. I will have to check the other videos out!
:( I wish you wouldve kept it half & half. I don't have any family left. And I don't exactly live in a place that's heavily populated w/ Lao ppl. So sometimes, yeah, I feel like I've lost touch w/ my roots. Sometimes I come to youtube to watch things, & it's like yep, yep, understand that part. What? Don't understand some other parts.

But she asks me way too many intrusive questions. I'm not really trying to be chummy, chummy w/ someone who's kind of a stranger either. That's so awkward. And she's so nosey too!!! Ok back to your videos.
My favorite soup in the world!! Can eat this everyday !!!
i love your apron!!
what's the name of the red powder u put in I'm trying to make my curry more red but is always more orange and I use both of those curry paste
Sweet Cee Cee the red powder is paprika.
Thank you
so how much shallots and garlic do you put in it?
Can you give me the ingredients to making catfish kao poon....is it just like chicken kao poon too....
Choua Voung Yes, you can make it the same as this using catfish instead of chicken.
cant beat some soul food with chicken feet!
aunt nana.. was that paprika?
Love it
can you please upload the measurements for all the ingredients? thanks
Der Yang I thought the measurements were annotated in the video. I'll have them added to the description when I get the chance.
OMG so good
Yummy!!
Can I cook the chicken feet with whole chicken at the same time?
yes, you can cook the chicken feet together with the whole chicken, but I just prefer to cook the feet separately to remove more of the gaminess.
if I don't have to Puerka the red power its ok to cook without
Bc of this video, I always thought I was eating blood. I guess I should watch things more thoroughly or something. Bc I don't ever remember eating cubes of blood. I just remember the bright colors, so I just assumed... Not to insinuate there's anything wrong w/ your ingredients. I just know my mom made it differently. I guess it's the curry, that gave it that color.
Should make one for pho !
How many people are you cooking for in your videos?
Any indication on the quantity required for each ingredient? This is our first time and even though this is not "exact science", reproducibility of your recipe is more likely should you mention at least a gross estimate of the quantity you used. This is my only comment for now. Will be trying it tomorrow.
yummy!!!
I use the same curry paste for the same reason. And I'm in Sydney ! Great channel. Please consider putting ingredients in description. Thanks!
Pork blood is a nice color
The problem is, with exception of the bamboo shoots, the use of curdled pig blood and chicken feet is scary to the "unbaptized" of the western world ;-). I love how you adhere to the true ingredients of the cuisine of Lao and Isan. Please check out hmongfood and berniemac2177 (khmer).
