    🌾 Ozone House - Mon Jam (บ้านโอโซน ม่อนแจ่ม): goo.gl/maps/w1...
    Mon Jam (ม่อนแจ่ม) is a beauty mountain village in the Chiang Mai province of Thailand, just about a 1 hour drive from Chiang Mai city. It’s a predominantly Hmong village, and they are known for their amazing terrace farming up the side of the steep mountains. #vegetarian #vegan #plantbased #HmongFood
    We spent a night in Mon Jam at Ozone House (บ้านโอโซน ม่อนแจ่ม), and the owners of our hotel were so nice and friendly. They kindly cooked us a local Hmong meal, which was completely plant based / vegan and and every day style meal. It was delicious!
    First we went to pick some ingredients from the garden - string beans, pumpkin shoots, chilies, and a type of Hmong coriander - I think it was a wild coriander, I’m not totally sure? Hmong food is known for being simple, but fresh and from the land. And that’s exactly what this meal was - it mainly consisted of a variety of boiled and sautéed vegetable soups, one plain, and one flavored with a good amount of black pepper. The freshness and natural taste of the vegetables is what stood out.
    But my favorite part of this Hmong food meal was without a doubt a very simple, and extremely tasty chili sauce Aunty made with wild coriander, fresh chilies, and salt. It was so simple, and so extremely good!
    Thank you again to the amazing family from Ozone House - Mon Jam (บ้านโอโซน ม่อนแจ่ม): goo.gl/maps/w1... for cooking this amazing meal for me!
    Thank you for watching and hope you’re having a fantastic day!

    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 ❤️

    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"

  • @tigermom6973
    @tigermom6973 4 года назад +18

    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 favorite way to make the same chili sauce you ate is with an older coriander plant indeed! Super fragrant.

    Hmong diet includes a tons of vegetable because the majority of the older generations were too poor to afford meat. They can only eat what they grow.

    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.

    That pepper paste is just a type of coriander but we asians love the slight difference it has in taste from regular coriander.

    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!

    The coriander chili is my favorite and it's so easy to eat all of it! My family adds green onions.
    If you wanted to add some texture to the pumpkin leaves, wood ear mushrooms are great! Adding lemon grass to the water as it comes to boil also adds a delicious fragrance and another layer of flavor.
    All of these dishes are super simple but so delicious. It really highlights the vegetables and gets you to appreciate the taste. Every family has their own additions, and recipes can also depend on what your income and diet is (ie. Adding meats into the dishes).

    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.

    • @sengcha6853
      @sengcha6853 4 года назад

      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

    • @Iluvhmong
      @Iluvhmong 4 года назад

      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. 🤣😂

  • @hxiongify
    @hxiongify 4 года назад +2

    Thank you for appreciating so many diverse cultures! The coriander in the pepper paste is when it is full grown. If you allow the coriander to grow past what you normally eat them as they become similarg to how the hmong elder gave to you.

    Wish that you guys hired a hmong interpreter. The language barrier made it hard to communicate. Hmong folks eat a lot of vegetables but add a lot of herbs and spices to their daily meals. It would've been nice if they can explain how unique these hmong vegetables were. Thank you for the awesome video!

    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.

This video of yours reminds me of my life back home. My Dad always make simple but healthy, delicious food just from around our house 🏠 Till now I tried to cook that for my children. And summer time is my favorite seasons coz the Hmong Farmer's Market is my favorite place to buy my veggies. Thanks again for this upload and I love when your wife tried those veggies as well, I guess she like eating organic too and your son.
