Allison Tran the shipping would’ve been expensive and it would’ve been confiscated at the border. You’re not allowed to send fresh produce without the right paperwork.
Knuffelbeer What makes you think I live outside the USA? I live in California and so does my grandma. We've been here since the fall of Saigon. Thus, shipping would be a lot cheaper and no confiscation would be needed. Don't assume.
Allison Tran usually the United States doesn’t have the right weather conditions to grow fruit like that. Especially if it’s not popular and grown by a big company. That probably why they assumes you were foreign if you could grow it near you.
@@SayYesToTacos1217 The fruit is grown in my grandmother's backyard and I see the fruit being sold in small Vietnamese fruit markets in Southern California. I see it a lot, it is so common. It is a necessity especially for Vietnamese dessert stores to make Xoi Gac.
Emmy, I just want to say that watching your videos makes me so happy. They are very informative, and relaxing. I hope you never stop putting out fun and awesome videos! Thank you!
Orelafter basmati or long grain rice, tomatoes(plum or chopped), peppers(preferably scotch bonnet) , chicken stock, onions, red bell peppers and seasonings!!! Those are the main ingredients!!!!!
When you mentioned sticky rice and coconut milk, my mind thought about Biko. It's a Filipino dessert made out of sticky rice, coconut milk, and brown sugar. It's simple and taste amazing, def recommend trying!!
Xoi can be savory too! My grandma usually makes it with mung bean and she adds sugar on top of the xoi when serving - I’m not sure if other people do this, but this is how I eat xoi as a snack.
Make some salty lemons for salty lemon soda for another Vietnamese treat! I wanna see somebody else pickle the limes before I try it! It’s called Chanh muối
Emmy you are a complete treasure. Intelligent, expressive and calming. Your chanel is really such a wholesome experience. I hope you go on tour one day, you have lots of creative content. Much love from Canada.
I followed the Emmy thrifting idea and just purchased a sticky rice making basket/pot for 3.00 at my local thrift store in perfect condition! I’ll be trying it out this weekend
Wow!!! Looks really delicious! I used to have this for my breakfast everyday when I was in Viet Nam, I miss it so much! Also, if you ever make this again (i'll assume you won't but I'll say it anyway), you should add a bunch of pandanus (la dua) to make xoi gac even more aromatic. But i'm so proud that you made it!
I was watching Bibi Monkey videos. Bibi and his family live on a farm in Vietnam. If you haven't see those videos of Bibi, they are certainly entertaining. Today's video is about Bibi harvesting gac and his Mom takes it back to make sticky rice. Had no idea what gac or sticky rice was. Emmymade helped me know more about sticky rice and gac!
Hi Emmy! Me and my mom watch your videos all the time! It’s kinda a bonding thing for us,and we will watch the video the day after it’s posted at lunch or breakfast. We’ve tried some of your recipes and it’s been a lot of fun.😋 (cuz where we live they go up around 9:00 P.M for us) Hope you’re having a nice day!
You can definitely leave the seed in it, I think it's the seed that makes the color more red. You just have to throw it away when eating. Gac is good for your eyes as it's red which means having lots of Vitamin A. And your pronunciation of "Gấc" is purfect 👍🏻
I bet it's good. I grew up eating "Milchreis", which is a sweet rice dessert. In Germany they sell it like yoghurt at the grocery stores in many different flavors. Honestly my favorite was the plain or cinnamon one. Chocolate was yummy, too. But rice pudding ideas are endless. So many fruit toppings to mix in available. I bet they have coconut by now. You make me want to cook some 😊.
It's hard to go wrong with sticky rice and coconut milk. That's my favorite brand of coconut milk also. It's much cheaper to buy the trai gac in a can, although it's still pricey. I like the way you steamed the rice. Our cute little Emmy hit another home run.
Hey Emmy, i love this videos! Have you ever tried sapote, also known as Nahuatl or saopapple? It’s delicious, it’s really common in Mexico and the northern part of South America.
Emmy, you should make a Coconut Milk Rice Pudding ...because coconut rice sounds delicious in general and rice pudding is equally delicious; so imagine those two paired (leaning on the sweet side of course).
so it is good for natural colouring like beet juice, normal rice, pasta or dessert might applies too. something that normally comes with striking colour like cake...
I actually grew up eating this at family get togethers but never knew where the red color came from until now! Usually my family would serve it with vietnamese ham called cha lua
We have something similar in the Gulf area named Muhmer, which is a rice in which red salsa and sugar are placed to become mushy rice and are often eaten together with grilled or fried fish،، i would love if u try it 😋🥰😅
@@ethan8278 there are very sad pathetic people out there who dislike Emmy for whatever bizarre reason, and subscribe and have the bell on just to dislike her videos. It's so stupid and as I said, pathetic.
OMG!!! For the LONGEST time I felt like Emmy reminded me of someone and I just couldn't think of who she reminds me of.....today I was like I'm going to figure this out because it's driving me crazy! I finally figured it out!! Let me first say this is in no way meant as an insult or anything like that, but Emmy reminds me of Sadness from Inside Out!! I don't really know why ( especially because Emmy is so peppy) but she reminds me exactly of Sadness from Inside out! LOL Ugh I feel so much better!! LOL ( again no shade )
I'm not gonna lie, I also thought your xôi gấc looks more like a tomato based rice dish. The colour is usually more saturated and kinda orangey. And you should've used a seed as decoration to be as authentic as possible! :D A lot my older female relatives regularly make various xôi. While traditionally sweet I think in my family our xôi gấc tends to be unsweetened; either way it goes well with savoury dishes! (Or go full on dessert/sweet snack by topping the xôi gấc with crushed peanuts, sugar and/or shredded coconut. Or in the case of a xôi that is already pretty sweet, my parents will do the same but with salt instead of sugar for a sweet-salty snack.)
Does the fruit add nutritional value tho? Very yummy sounding. I love coconut. I have solid oil and just got some Thai peanut sauce from Brand less. All I need is rice and chicken now and I can have satay! Yum! Gonna try sticky rice. Thank you Emmy!😍🌶🍜🍱🍺
Laura Metheny Not sure about nutritional value, but it does have plenty of health benefits. According to healthbenefitstimes.com, it is known to: Combats cancer, Fights anemia, Helps lower cholesterol levels, Prevents cardiovascular diseases, Improves eyesight, Combats depression, Maintains youth and prevents aging, Helps Fight Prostate Enlargement
You can make easy glutinous rice in a instant pot: one cup of rice, 2/3 rd cup water in a metal bowl placed inside the pot. Place the trivet in the bottom of the instant pot with one cup of water. Place the metal bowl on the trivet and cook on high pressure for 13 minutes. Natural release. No soaking over night!
I'll give Emmy credit for (what I'm assuming) is a more traditional preperation method. But I agree with you Bergkatse2, as I was watching the vid I was wondering why one could not just dump the whole thing into a rice cooker. A quick Google search at the end is showing me that folks make coconut rice with coconut milk all the time. So it certainly seems plausible. I was considering subbing with strawberry reduction, since I doubt I'll be finding a baby jackfruit anytime soon.
![[Fruit from Heaven] Excellent GAC Fruit Farming - Gac Fruit Harvesting & Processing @HappyFarm85](/img/1.gif)
Emmy, it makes me sad you paid $55 for that Gac fruit. My grandma grows it in her garden and sells them at her local church. Could have sent you one.
Allison Tran the shipping would’ve been expensive and it would’ve been confiscated at the border. You’re not allowed to send fresh produce without the right paperwork.

I’m Vietnamese and this is one of my favorite preparations of rice in the whole world! It’s great to know that the color is all natural 😂
Emmy, I just want to say that watching your videos makes me so happy. They are very informative, and relaxing. I hope you never stop putting out fun and awesome videos! Thank you!
I agree. I find them very relaxing she is so calm and comforting.
My mom used to make this glutinous rice with coconut milk and turmeric then she'd serve it with chicken curry. I miss it so much.
That sounds sooo good😭
It looks like a west African savoury dish called Jollof Rice, you should try it!!!
stephanie ivette what’s a good recipe? 😋
stephanie ivette
I have some African friends who make that dish! I usually get full and fall asleep. Good times!
Yes! I had it for the first time a month ago. It was so delicious!
Jollof rice is so nice. Emmy needs to try it.
Orelafter basmati or long grain rice, tomatoes(plum or chopped), peppers(preferably scotch bonnet) , chicken stock, onions, red bell peppers and seasonings!!! Those are the main ingredients!!!!!
You should have it with some sugar, crushed peanut and shredded coconut
😋
Soo Vietnamese
Omg that sounds AMAZING
What Risse said...
Sounds delicious
When you mentioned sticky rice and coconut milk, my mind thought about Biko. It's a Filipino dessert made out of sticky rice, coconut milk, and brown sugar. It's simple and taste amazing, def recommend trying!!
There’s a restaurant in my town run by a lady from Guam. She features Guamanian and Filipino food on the menu and biko is definitely on the menu!
Xoi can be savory too! My grandma usually makes it with mung bean and she adds sugar on top of the xoi when serving - I’m not sure if other people do this, but this is how I eat xoi as a snack.
A little sugar on your xoi is like crack, it's so good.
Looks like a dish we eat, stewed tomatoes and rice. (Legos!) Tfs!
Make some salty lemons for salty lemon soda for another Vietnamese treat! I wanna see somebody else pickle the limes before I try it! It’s called Chanh muối
Oh man, I used to drink this all the time as a kid! That and soda xi muoi. I need to start making these at home
I had never heard of this but it sounds very interesting and I also want to see Emmy make it!
Emmy you are a complete treasure. Intelligent, expressive and calming. Your chanel is really such a wholesome experience. I hope you go on tour one day, you have lots of creative content. Much love from Canada.
That giggle when you like the food - you are such a cutie pie!
i had no idea emmy knew about this xoi OMG! it is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE, im so glad to know she's tried it before
I love getting xoi from our local Asian supermarket. I usually like the one with beans, sugar, crushed peanuts and coconut. Yum!

Yep. Shimmering like scanlines on an old TV set. :)
Do not worry! The shirt is just mucic!!! 😁
That's moire. Image sensor can't deal with the pattern of the shirt
Stripe pattern or similar patterns don't film well

Your videos are exceptional. I watch them to deprogram after a stressful day! Thanks!
So weird! Can’t get past the color telling my mind “TOMATO!”
I am vietnamese, and we actually use this fruit to make xôi gac. It's amazing, and I highly recommend it!
OMG I love "xoi gac", I love you so much, thank you Emmy.
Learned a few things about sticky rice, thanks for tips!
Another amazing video !!! Love it :) I miss your MRE videos and trying countries :)
Looks like the perfect food coloring source.
Super pricey though
Natural food coloring for 50 dollars? XD Can get the same effect with beets or carrots.
@@CrimsonStigmata true.
Yes! I was hoping you would do this!
Hey, Emmy. Long time watcher. I love your videos. You are awesome.
I get so excited when you post!💖
💖💖💖
If you love coconut, please try "Nasi Lemak"
That looks really good i love sticky rice ✈ great video Emmy i hope you have a fantastic week
Honestly, I love how you pronounce it, because a lot of non-vietnamese people always pronounce the words in the weirdest ways possible, ily Emmy 🥺❤️
Hey Emmy, i love this videos! Have you ever tried sapote, also known as Nahuatl or saopapple? It’s delicious, it’s really common in Mexico and the northern part of South America.
Love the videos Emmy keep up the great work
This kinda looks like Spanish rice, and it makes me wanna eat it even more lol
Love the square glass bowl.
This is Gac sticky rice. They are very popular in Vietnam. I'm Vietnamese so I know this kink of food. Please like this!
Emmy, you should make a Coconut Milk Rice Pudding ...because coconut rice sounds delicious in general and rice pudding is equally delicious; so imagine those two paired (leaning on the sweet side of course).
Emmy, if u had put in a screw pine leave(pandan leave) the aroma and fragrance would have been allevated to a new level for sticky rice.
✈️ Love your videos, Emmy!
Thank you. ❤️
Yes! Perfect end to my day!
😊
Love your vlogs💙
uncooked sticky rice (nep) is so pretty and brilliant white.
I always enjoy your videos.
I'm going to use a regular jackfruit and try this! Great video! Notification Squad on!
I absolutely love the color.
so it is good for natural colouring like beet juice, normal rice, pasta or dessert might applies too.
something that normally comes with striking colour like cake...
Wowza, early! This looks incredible, keep up the good work ^^ 2am here & very happy about your new vidoe
I am Vietnamese teen girl and I love xôi gấc
This looks so yum! Btw this T-shirt is giving me a headache...some weird effect is happening
I actually grew up eating this at family get togethers but never knew where the red color came from until now! Usually my family would serve it with vietnamese ham called cha lua
You should try canepas, a fruit I fell in love with in Puerto Rico. It's sweet and sour and has the most interesting texture :)
The only close to fruit rice I ate would be a ripe mango chunks with "ulam" (what ever meals) mixed in rice.
I love sticky rice. The first time I had it was at friend's place. We were enjoying his Laotain mother in laws cooking.
All this time I’ve been watching and we’re in the same state! What time is dinner? 😊 Love your videos!
Thank you for the pronunciation!!!!
Aww you should’ve put the whole seed in. When you eat it, you get a peel a skin layer from the seed. It’s the most memorable thing from eating it imo
I LOVE sticky rice! It’s especially good with ice cream! Mmmmm
That rice would contrast perfectly with some salty savory fried chicken. 😋
This is almost like dessert risotto! Love it!
THIS WOMAN LITERALLY EATS EVERYTHING I DON'T LIKE
We have something similar in the Gulf area named Muhmer, which is a rice in which red salsa and sugar are placed to become mushy rice and are often eaten together with grilled or fried fish،، i would love if u try it 😋🥰😅
Yes! This is the right way to have Gac 👌🏼
I’ve never been so early! Love your videos♥️
❤️❤️❤️
Haters gonna hate
This is my absolute favorite!!!!
OOOH! That gac fruit is so weird!!! It looks delicious though!
Also, it's been about a minute and a half and there's already a dislike... How?! They couldn't have even finished the video in that time!!!
@@ethan8278 there are very sad pathetic people out there who dislike Emmy for whatever bizarre reason, and subscribe and have the bell on just to dislike her videos. It's so stupid and as I said, pathetic.
yummy !!!!!!!!!!! great video emmy!
I love sticky rice. savory or sweet, love it!
Wow,you actually pronounce gac right(I’m Vietnamese)
I thought it was mexican rice from the thumbnail! Looks delicious!

Maybe the glasses and hairstyle 😅
IvaNFJ that’s what I was thinking lmaooo
Wow! I have eaten this quite a bunch and never knew the name of the fruit which helped color it!

Looks interesting. I want to make it and try it.
is sticky rice uncommon on the states? Wondering because of what Emmy says during the sticky rice portion of the video
No, just check out the asian section of any grocery store.
That shirt is not appreciating being filmed. May want to stay away on future vids (even though I'd wear this multiple times a week in RL).
Any striped shirt really is a no no for filming D:
I wasn't sure if I was too high
But I am though

First and i love your vids me and my sis do and your the best KEEP MAKING VIDS PLEASE YOUR VIDS ARE THE ONLY GOOD THING ON RUclips
Great vids emmy best vids on youtube in my opinion i love your vids!
Omg I am vietnamese :D that makes me so happy Emmyyy 😂🤗❤️
That looks so yummy!
I've had sticky rice but not gac fruit. If you want to try a delicious Vietnamese dessert, try Che Choi (Chuoi). It's a banana tapioca pudding.
Mmm delicious. Che bap is good too!
My favorite is Che Thai
Thank you for your recipe. 😀
As you can see from her profile name she was made in Japan
I bet this is sooooo good
I bought 3 large ones this morning at a local thai market in Uttaradit for 60 baht. About 2 US dollars. Peace!
don't forget to dry the seeds a bit then plant them.
I wouldn't mind trying this.
Well, that was a really cool idea! 👍👍
i love it when my mum makes those 😍😍
