gj brother!!!! It's nice to see my fellow hmong brother's stepping it up. Stay strong and I know you know how to cook. OG hmong people say, " only big people know what taste good". Lol stay humble and bless.
Hmong food is Southeast and East Asian fusion cuisine. So our ingredients will differ from the original dishes. Sprouts do add a refreshing crisp though.
Traditionally, yes. That’s what the word “laab” means: Finely minced or ground. You cook pieces and slice them for texture mostly. Overtime, dishes evolve in different cultures. Why is there peas and carrots or bean sprouts in fried rice? Why is there mayo and sriracha in sushi? Why is garlic bread served with pasta? None, of these are traditional, but made to fit the culture and community using ingredients they have available.
The reason why he's getting 6 dislike probably more @ rith lim because this isn't a hmong cuisine and is not hmong traditional food as he claimed me to be. Laab is a national of laos dish. Look it up. I am not hating....I believe he's a good chef's but just he claimed someone eles cuisine and claimed as his hmong food.
Wait...is this a laab, or is it Americanized version of laab? No disrespect meant. It's just that I've eaten a lot of laabs from Lao kitchens(lots of friends from Laos, some from Thailand), but none looks like this. I've never had Hmong laab duck before...so this is how it should look for Hmong laab?
@@LTC76 - Thanks for letting me know. I've eaten a lot of Lao food and thought that laab was a Laotian dish. I ate a few different kinds of laab when I visited Laos back in 2016, but I didn't know much about it so I'm afraid to say the wrong thing and offend my Hmong brothers and sisters.
@@tikitak1155 I have nothing personal again hmong people but chef yia vang is Misleading his hmong people about hmong identity ,food and culture especially the young hmong generation who knows nothing about food and origin.
@@LTC76 - You have a point. I just didn't know much to say one way or another. I just know that the food was great and the country was beautiful. If the chef wants to take that and maybe make it uniquely "Hmong".....He might be able to do that, but he should let it be known that it was a derivative of the Lao laab or something. Like Pho is Vietnamese, but had variations throughout SEA.
laap: beef, fish, and duck in that order, never a fan of chicken and pork. with duck, you have got to have temperature hot-duck soup and sticky rice a must!
Never seen this kind of laj before, especially not minced down by a traditional Hmong knife. Laj is made best with freshly slaughtered animals, not no grocery store meat that’s been sitting and your missing whole lotta seasonings, you need tsib, for bitterness as well. (List goes on) only food you’ve made that’s Hmong is the rice and pepper, doesn’t even look like it’s made properly either 👎👎
@@AngAswang12 Like I said, I respect his video because it's true it's not well known. However, the style in which he is cooking is not "Flavors and Techniques of Hmong cooking". Hmong Laab uses Fish Sauce, Bile, and Tripe (Key ingredients he is missing). Carrots and bean sprouts are not traditionally used as well. His style is more American Fusion. I just don't want people thinking this is traditional Hmong flavors LOL. Again, no disrespect to the brother.
@@BlackCrow64 No one puts tripe or bile in duck laab dummy. You’re talking about that weak as laab people eat every time they slaughter a cow. You’re the one who doesn’t know what you’re talking about. There’s more than just one type of laab. People from Laos would not consider what we eat laab. People have their take on food, so why don’t you shut up because you don’t even know what you’re talking about.
@@BlackCrow64 thanks for clarifying.I too am Asian.I am learning from Japanese and Koreans seldom or in no single time that they react negatively to one of their own.Thus it is sad when one Hmong attacks another Hmong.I hope you too can have a vlog to present the authentic laab.
@@yangrichardp Why the hostility bro. You are literally contradicting yourself. "People from Laos would not consider what we eat laab." No shit dummy, that's cause Hmong flavors use the ingredients I highlighted LOL.
@@benderbendingrodriguez2868 are there other hmong chefs getting the media attention? You can all ride his wave and present the authentic laab you know...and have more hmongs representing an almost unknown group of people. You are always entitled to pick on one your own..and suffer anonimity.shame
Although this may seem "authentic" to some, it is really lacking the true flavors of SE Asia. There are a lot of components missing, not sure if the HMONG chef is trying to appease the audience but flavors of laarb should be more involved than just fish sauce.. there is no balance...
I don’t think anyone cares if it’s authentic or not. Nothing in The US is authentic. Italians don’t eat garlic bread. People don’t eat Panda Express in China. Pad Thai is made with palm sugar not granulated sugar or brown sugar. Taco Bell is as authentic as America gets, so I don’t know what you’re trying to prove by saying it’s not authentic. Do you have an authentic laab recipe? I don’t think so because you’re not even Lao.
@@yangrichardpmy point exactly as you pointed out, don’t call it Laab if it is not remotely true and authentic to the actual dish known as Laab, because it is a disservice. The foods you named were invented in US for Americans with the exception of Pad Thai, not sure your point with that example. Newsflash, there is a Panda Express in China so ppl do eat it in Chia. The guy made a Duck Salad and should have named the dish Hmong Duck Salad. The dish lacks ingredients traditionally used in many types of Laab, i.e., galangal, kaffir lime leaves and bpa dek and he is throwing in random shit like Thai basil and bean sprouts, WTF! FYI, my wife is Lao and been around Lao ppl for over two decades. This guy made a an Asian Duck Salad. I hope Uncle Roger doesn’t do a review on this!
I subscribed because he smiles every time he mentions his dad
I’ll have to give this a try. Never had laab with carrots or radishes before.
Dude, this bring back happy memories. This is “ Dish of Life “
my friend thank you !!!

Love duck laap
Well done! 👍🏻
This should be A yummy dish . Thank you. Loved it.❤️
Came here from Eater haha i hope I get to try your food one day
Very delicious
Does Hmong Laab traditionally have bean sprouts in it?
No, its optional tho, it brings texture to the laab
Laab is a laos national dish. Not sure why he claimed is a hmong traditional food . Hmmmm
Hmong food is Southeast and East Asian fusion cuisine. So our ingredients will differ from the original dishes. Sprouts do add a refreshing crisp though.
@@LTC76Because Hmong people made their own version of it.
If it’s tastes good, that’s all that matters to me.
I thought laab is supposed to be ground meat and not sliced meat.

@@yangrichardp None of my hmong or mien buddies make laab like this. So this is actually uncommon.
Yia is just making it look appetizing for the white people. Lol. So there's your answer lol
I’ve ate with with sliced meat. It’s just as good Karen.
Not sure why there's 6 dislikes, must be people who don't like to eat delicious food!

Hmong laab differs from the original dishes. It is a fusion of varying ingredients.
This is laab.

Laap. L.a.a.p*
Larb is a laotian word meaning luck. Larb is originated from laos 🇱🇦 larb is laotian national dish @ famous throughout Asia and around the world.

Always use fresh meat for laab... Fresh kill duck is the best!!!!!!
This ain’t laab
@sue vang he highly proud saying laab is hmong traditional food 5555 aka lao national dish.
I would eat the shit out of this
Not Hmong laab. Pretty sure your dad didn't make his laab like this if he is hmong. Regardless, nice instructional video.
Hey man there are just a few HMONG chefs known to outsiders...please stop attacking him.make your own version please

***Makes 1 Serving*** LOL
This is not laab. Ive eaten his laab before and its terrible. He markets everything as hmong food to profit to the people who have no idea what it is.
lol hater
Lmao and where's your dish at?!?! 🤔🤔🤣🤣🤣
I totally agree, dude should just flip burgers
😂 👍 yes fake duck larb 😂!!!
That aint laab homie. Radishes and carrots? 🤣🤣🤦♂️🤦♂️
