My MIL is very particular about food and she liked this recipe (and asked me to make it again!). Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

[@meeliving1345]

Hello Alysia, glad your MIL likes this recipe. Keep up the good work!

[@xeexiong9613]

I used your recipe yesterday. We love it. I just used the pork belly from Costco. Thank you.

[@meeliving1345]

Great! Glad you like it.

My sisters and I are learning to make this dish by ourselves since we moved out town away from our mom. I really like how you did this video in English and Hmong. I’m the 2nd eldest of my siblings and grew up speaking Hmong but my sisters not so well. Unfortunately I’m not good at speaking Hmong anymore, but I can still understand it so this video was helpful in bringing back some of that language. I’ll show this video to my sisters and hopefully it helps them connect the English and Hmong words and their meanings together. Thank you for this video!

[@meeliving1345]

Hi chanloey, I am glad this video speaking in bilingual is helpful to you. My goal is to retain both the authentic Hmong food and modern Hmong food recipes for future Hmong generations and everyone else in the globe. Thank you very much for watching.

[@cisiab]

What a great way to preserve all your recipes for your children! I don’t have my own recipe of sweet pork yet but I like yours and will try it someday.

[@kaiyang9]

Hi Mee, this is a great dish! Uatsaug koj pab qhia peb ua nqaij qabzib no uas yeej qab tiag tiag nawb! Koj qhia tau zoo kawg os.

[@meeliving1345]

Zoo siab tias koj twb ua kuv qhov nqaij qab zib no lawm es koj nyiam thiab. Ua tsaug nawb mog.

[@gaoshengcha9177]

Can you post your written recipes in the comments area? That would be helpful to me. Thank you! Love you and your cooking! Are you from MN? I’m following you from Seattle area. No Hmong restaurants here. I have to make every Hmong dish I crave.😁

[@tseemciasiablauj4072]

Did you boil the eggs in plain water and peel them before putting them into the brown sauce in the pot?
I don't like fat meat (pork belly). Can I just use pork without fat for the recipe?

[@maika8060]

Mee, I’ve made sweet pork multiple times but in small batches for just my family. You used 4 pounds of pork and 2 cups of sugar. If I’m making for a large gathering using the large Hmoob lauj kaub that people use at funeral, how much sugar would I use? Thank you. Love all your recipes.

[@meeliving1345]

Hi Maika,
I would estimate how many pounds of meat you will cook in the big pot and calculate the sugar accordingly. Is the big pot size 50 or 60?

[@jervang6706]

Siste Mee, next time can you show the bottles of all the seasoning sauce you used?
I think it would be very helpful due to too many different brand’s of sauce out there. Thanks

[@meeliving1345]

Ok.

[@youamoua2197]

Can you show all salt pictures?

[@meeliving1345]

Hi, what do you mean salt pictures? Please clarify?

[@noulee3956]

Can turn your volume higher prior record your video so we can hear you better. Every time I have to turn my volume all the way up so I can hear you. I mean your next video.

[@meeliving1345]

Hi Nou, this was one of my old videos and I've learned to turn on the volume higher now for my new videos. Thanks for the important comment.

[@jennyya682]

Tus sister aw koj mas yog ib tug neeg nyiam ua zoo zoo xwb

[@meeliving1345]

Ua tsaug os mog.

[@voneounthouang8508]

You missed showing when you were adding all the herbs!

[@meeliving1345]

Hi Vone, not sure what you mean all the herbs? I have listed all the ingredients of this recipe below the screen. Thanks for watching.

[@dawjy9413]

too much sugar for my liking but thank you for showing

[@meeliving1345]

Yes, you can reduce to use as little sugar as you like. Thanks for watching.

[@SawvNtxovTsausNtuj]

I can't wait for two languages, please just saying in hmong, then translated English on the screen

[@heythia]

You can change the speed you watch the videos fyi. I am impatient too I usually watch on 1.5x speed.

[@meeliving1345]

Yes, I only talk in English now for the cooking tutorial videos. Thanks.
