Thank you for SUBSCRIBING bit.ly/2No9eVA to my Chamorro/CHamoru food channel where I share all things Guam 671 Chamorro cooking recipes, Guam 671 food, and more yummy dishes! Guam is an island of the Mariana Island archipelago that includes the Mariana islands of Rota, Saipan, Tinian, and Pagan. The CHamorus of the Marianas share many wonderful CHamoru cuisine foods, yet there are also unique island food differences due to their colonial standings at the end of the Spanish-American war - divided between the United States, Germany, and Japan.

In cultural studies class, we always made this candy with coconut and sugar. I can't find a recipe for it anymore. 😫 do you know it?

[@jeffronium]

This brings me back to my childhood. My all time favorite snack. Thanks for sharing this

[@GuamMamaCooks]

Love making these videos, thank you!

[@woodleychhor6493]

Nice!! I’m going to make this thank you for sharing

[@GuamMamaCooks]

Anytime, Woodley!

[@ChelseaH1]

Thank you! I grew up with this, and it was my favorite, but I never learned how to make it. I didn’t realize it was so simple. Thanks! I can’t wait to try this. 🙏

[@GuamMamaCooks]

Happy to satisfy your cravings! :-)

[@robintaylor485]

Vietnamese restaurants something like the service sliced real thing on the side with duck noodle soup

[@BadTB25]

Thanks...I'll definitely be using this recipe once I can get a hold of some green papaya. The ones we have here are always overripe for pickling :(

[@yellowsmarties2]

I saw some that were purple? I remember eating them in Tinian when I was in primary school, my fingers got so purple, my eyes were water, and mouth on fire..so spicy so gooood. I'll definitely try this recipe.

[@GuamMamaCooks]

They might have used a flavored powder to make it purple.

Pickled papaya was my favorite thing to eat while living on Guam. Gof mannge (sp?) Can’t wait to make this so I can relive my childhood.

[@GuamMamaCooks]

Hi Jo-Anne! Glad to share. You're close in spelling: Gof mangge'. Just in case someone wants to know how to pronounce: gohf mung-ee. Thanks for watching!!

[@LadyRavenB]

I loved eating this. The ones we would get were a bit thicker, but so good and spicy.

[@GuamMamaCooks]

Hi Salima! Here's the coconut candy recipe you are looking for: ruclips.net/video/Utv0FoKMmYQ/видео.html

[@LadyRavenB]

@@GuamMamaCooks thank you. This is why I don't care for mounds and almond joy. This candy is so much better. 😍

[@thanhvanvo03]

What kind of hot peppers are you using?

[@GuamMamaCooks]

It’s a pepper paste. I also use Thai hot peppers.

[@Notanotherpuzzle]

Would this recipe work with green mangoes??

[@GuamMamaCooks]

Yes, it does, but you don't have to soak the mangoes in salted water. Skin mangoes if you want (I do for stateside mangoes) then cut and use the picking recipe.

Bare hands? You are tough...
