Favorite Recipe Search

Can you guess what the most searched recipe is that leads visitors to my blog? It's so sweet. (Pun intended.) Yep, just about everyday, someone across the globe searches for "nab vam" or "tricolor dessert." I do wish more people would leave comments, especially if they have tried the recipe. It would help me improve things if the recipe needs improvement or provide others more tips. I don't blame them. Nab vam is a yummy dessert, probably the yummiest Asian dessert there is out there since we aren't known for our desserts. Have you ever notice that when you go to an Asian restaurant, there isn't much variety in the dessert menu (if there is one at all)? I think most Asian restaurants have a dessert section in their menus just to cater to the American public since Americans consume so much sweets.

Thanks for visiting!

  1. Glad I found your blog - I've been wanting to find a Hmong blogger with the focus on food. :)

  2. Hi!

    The other day my mom wanted to make tri color and asked about the agar jelly. She wanted the firm ones and we didnt know what kind of packaging it came in. I googled it and your site came up! Life saver!!

  3. As a blogger myself, i know where you're coming from. There's so many visits, but no comments to have that inspiration to post more.

    All i have to say about your blog, Hmong CAN cook. :D Keep it up. It's fun to read how other make their food. Plus, there's always room for improvement. I myself enjoy coming here to have ideas on what to cook or atleast try to cook. :D Keep it up!

  5. Hello! Thanks for all the recipes! I tried the nab vam...I think from now on, I'll make the syrup as you did! I usually caramelize the sugar then add the coconut milk...I knew it tasted different from the ones bought from the stores! But your way was much better! Thanks! The hubby loved it lol....

    Just wondering do you have any recipe ideas for Hmong gatherings? Since there's always a family gathering nearly every weekend and it's always the same food!! Something that isn't too hard and can make in large amounts.

    BTW, Yes, Hmong can cook!

  6. Mai, I'm glad you liked the nab vam. As far as for Hmong gatherings, I try to bring something that is from a different food group from what others are bringing (if you know what they are ahead of time). For example, meat is usually always available, so I would bring a dish of noodles such as pad thai. I noticed there are not a lot of veggie dishes either. I don't have any veggie dish in mind, but maybe even a salad (not pasta) would work. Try the Thai grilled beef salad in my February archived blogs. It's sorta of Asian and American together. I'm going to try and make this other Thai salad that I've had at a Thai restaurant and really liked. I will post it as soon as it turns out. To me, it doesn't have to be an Asian dish. I have brought non-Asian dishes to Hmong gatherings before such as baked spaghetti or lasagna and the kids loved them. Hope that helps.

  7. Have you heard or seen a tapioca noodle processor? This is not a rice steamer use. this is a new design with using a stainless steel blade to spin.
