That WAS a cute T-shirt...Both recipes look incredible...Great Yuca lesson... That exploding oil (and the air born oil fumes that accumulate and permanently stink up your house) is exactly why I haven't fried anything in decades...I'd like to try to make a pizza out of that yuca dough...I saw a survival video from the American southeast where a guy was gathering wild yuca (looked just like this) in a forest and cooking it...
1. To peel the yuca is easier to cut it in about 3 inches long pieces. Then hit hit length wise, perpendicularly with the knife and start peeling it to one side. The knife will go between the peel and the hard flesh. Follow the round shape to peel it. 2. Just make nuca fries cutting the yuca to the desired length and width. Boiled it, dry it then fry the yuca pieces. Is easier and better this way.
There is a difference texturally. I've noticed nicer restaurants usually do this style. But I agree at home, I would just cut, boil, and fry them it's much easier.
I love regular yuca fries, which are super easy to make without any mashing or perilous oil pops, but these look next-level with the coconut milk, and so I must try (will use a splatter screen)!!!
This was a lot more complicated than I expected. I thought it'd be more like cut and fry. I think I will just stick with buying them from the restaurant lol
It’s better to boil them until just barely tender and then cool them down completely. After, just shallow fry until golden. Deep frying isn’t necessary.
If you just fry it can get very dry, but you don't need the extra step of making puree and shape, this method is used when the yuka is not fresh and/or for some unknown reason still keeps hard after boiled or you want to season
Wow, thank you for showing a great way to fry this root vegetable. Whenever I first try it by just fried it after thawing from the freezer, it was unedible. But now I know the correct way to prepare it. Thanks!
I ate yucca fries once and I don’t know if it was because I was drunk or really hungry or from a A restaurant but they were so good. Really need to make them.
the fries were lovely, i did as you say but i air fried them, ive never had yucca before but i most certainly will again, the salsa was great as well. thanks for that. john
Deditos de yuca ❤ it’s so good ! In Ecuador 🇪🇨 they called deditos de yuca 🤤, because they also have yuca fries 🍟 that it’s yuca frita , but it’s just boiled and then fried
0:45 yuca looked like cassava. Usually cassava can be eaten after boiled with some salty water to tender and dip in sugar or coconut shavings. Sometimes people coated it with curry powder and fried. No need to smash them.
How do I asked for Yucca to be cooked throughly? My local Restaurant that serves this sometimes gives us yucca that's dry, tough and hand hard in the middle. It's also white. Then on other occasions its beautifully soft and golden in color in the middle making it super yummy. Idk what to do help!
“That is not edible” haha it is in my house Also, if you boil it first, it’s easier to peel. You make one slice in the skin, and use a knife to pry the peel off. Then you just slice it up, circles or sticks, and fry to golden brown 👍🏼 don’t have to mash anything. The fibery center gets cooked if you boil it long enough and you can just eat it. My only complaints are it gets your knife really sticky when you peel it, and you get a weird waxy film on the water when you boil it
Is there a proper recipe somewhere? How much coconut milk did you use? I tried this recipe, and everything disintegrated as I fried it. Think I used too much coconut milk. :(
I love Yucca That is how it is spelled here in Canada. I usually cook the Yucca till not quite fully cooked , then I drain them, then add chopped bacon onion mixed peppers & a small amount of cajun seasoning & place it in the oven to heat thoroughly, about 15 to 18 minutes then top with any sharp hard aged cheese & return to oven for about 10 minutes. This recipe of yours I Will definitely try. I am not fond of fried foods however for this recipe I will because I love Fried sweet potato's & I love Yucca so I am gonna give it a go. The Sudada I am definitely going to make on a regular basis because it is flexible to work with where ingredients are concerned & will go with just about anything.
it's literally cooking a time bomb in your kitchen. who was the first person to try this, then decided this is a good idea that should stick around? i would imagine he'd said no more after the first 2nd degree burn all over his face.
I've been cooking French fries my whole life and never seen that My mom told me the only reason oil pops like that is it was used too much or the water in it
It's called a mesh screen, it stops oil explosions from high moisture items and also helps with oil heat retention. Make sure it's a fine mesh so the oil droplets bounce back. Also sharpen your knife, nothing more dangerous than a dull knife in a kitchen. It rolls and you will lose a finger. I would also suggest maybe taking a culinary class, your knife skills and cutting knowledge could use some work. Your final products were nice though. Looked tasty.
@@Yourantsally lmao Kid, I trained under three master chefs, I have a double degree from Le Cordon Bleu, a food science degree from Cornell and have been an Executive Chef for 30 years. I am chef for one of the top catering companies in the Midwest now and have been chef for places such as South Seas resort. So when I post something about culinary arts it's a fact born from a lifetime of experience. So lash out all you like, it changes no actual facts...
Honestly don’t think it’s a good idea to tell people to just start peeling a hard vegetable like yucca with the blade going towards yourself. Not the best idea, but food looks good
You gotta be careful anything that is full of water you're not supposed to cook an oil common sense You're going to get somebody hurt lol Should I'd let them Dried The for a while
I would likely do the same thing but I dont typically fry food but these can be done in the oven with oil brushed on them & help them dry out a bit on a baking sheet. Not fond of oil soaked foods
People, please, never ever cut anything towards you like she is in this video. Even if you are a trained experience chef, it only takes small slip to cut yourself. Always cut away from you. Also, to avoid fryer explosions, lightly salt the Yuca and keep the Yuca in the fridge over night on a baking cooling rack. This will extract a lot of the moisture and you can rub off the salt with a paper towel. So when you fry the next day, you wont have these crazy explosions that are caused by all the water.
I knew this was going to be a 💩 show the minute she started to peel the yuca vertically like that. Yuca fries are not as complicated as this makes it to be.
Hi, there are several comments about this here. There is something I said in the video that got cut from the final edit but a lot of Colombian cooking I learned from my grandmother which she learned from her mother and it does not involve western techniques like using a cutting board. Most of the food they prepared was done in your hand without any use of a cutting board and often involves nontraditional cuts like cutting towards yourself, Cutting food into small pieces against your thumb, and possibly other techniques you would find horrifying. I am not nearly as good at it as she was, but at the end of the day not everything has to revolve around a western ideal of what cooking is or should be. I want everyone to be safe, but what works for me might not necessarily work for you and I would hope you understand the opposite is also true. I would love to see more non-Eurocentric cooking on TH-cam hope this inspires other people to do the same.
@@anitas457 i appreciate your view but that really has nothing to do with my comment. Im a seasoned cook and also cut in hand. But she is clearly cutting with a chefs knife.. there's no way in hell anyone should be doing that!!
@@anitas457 so instead of insulting me why don't you have an intelligent conversation with me about it? Maybe we could talk about the blade your using Or we could get into talking about hand cutting foods like they do a lot of in the Caribbean and Africa. One thing is for sure. You don't use a Chefs knife and cut towards yourself! So no, nothing went over my head. I hope you have a wonderful Sunday!!
I popped off the bottom at my local store and I was arrested by the security guard. Lots of complaints by shoppers. Now I’m looking at a civil suit in court. Can I use this video? I’m looking at community service, and although I may not be assaulted during that time I have family to look after. God, why did I ever follow this advice. Please help. Go fund me or something. This is gonna haunt me.
Both these Yuca dishes look awesome. Thanks for the window into your family’s tradition.

This is how my Costa Rican chef friend makes them, definitely easier than this video haha

It is normally cut and fry 😆, just need to boil those chunks and fry them after
Yeah its normaly just cut and fry, and you can peel it by making a cut and push your fingers in the skin if it is fresh the it will peel right off
It’s better to boil them until just barely tender and then cool them down completely. After, just shallow fry until golden. Deep frying isn’t necessary.

It was the yuca itself :)
Beautiful video been eating cassava all my life and never thought of this

The most underrated dish of all time
I stayed for the braided pig tails.
Te amo Columbia!
Yuca fries and papusas are one of the best hangover meals don't @ me
Espectacular

Viva Colombia 🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴
Can they be air fried?
What a Natural beauty.
I wonder if you can freeze that yucca dough?
Genius.
yummy
Wow nice
What was the name of the song that was playing in the background?

it is cassava, which is stupidly easy to prepare...

Not sure where you are located but yucca here is sold coated in wax. So, I assume thats where the waxy film comes from.
@@Zamerick13 yup, it’s coated in wax here in California too, doesn’t make cleaning up after it less annoying lol
@0:12 and that is why I use a fry screen.

Im a self loathing dominican but the food is good
I knew it too much water
It had too much water. 🤣
Surely you would use a potato masher instead of a fork?
Looks too difficult I'll just stick to traditional potatoes 🥔 😁👍🏼
This is just a advanced recipe like fries. All you have to do is boil and then fry
it's literally cooking a time bomb in your kitchen. who was the first person to try this, then decided this is a good idea that should stick around? i would imagine he'd said no more after the first 2nd degree burn all over his face.

But they aren't potatoes
@@majoroldladyakamom6948 Hey! Piss off mom...........just kidding 😉

i love yuca fries but that first clip of the oil popping completely turned me off of making this recipe lmaooo
no one's mentioned she looks like fiona apple
them some dangerous fries
You can get yuca pealed and cut made fries many times. this is complicated as shown in the almost grease fire
USE A SPLATTER GUARD FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!
After seeing your recipe, I also feel like cooking. 😊Upload on khal please!
