  • Will using banana leaf make meat better? Many countries use them and they swear by it. Today I want to find out which meat this works best and most important is it really good?

    When cooking with banana leaves, it's normally on an open flame, because you can char the leaf and keep the meat delicate (as it steams inside, a little like a crude sous-vide), but you get some of the char flavor from the leaf on the meat. You're not getting any of that in sous vide, its basically a seasoning, which is not the point of the leaf

      The leaves also impart a mild, sweet, earthy flavor, and individual banana leaf parcels make for an impressive presentation-but it's truly easy enough to prepare for a crowd if you're looking for an entrée with a little extra flair. Steaming in banana leaves is surprisingly simple.

    now this is something i'm familiar with. though in indonesia we actually fully wrap the banana leaf on the seasoned meat, which is secured with a wooden skewer, and then steam or grill it while they're inside the wraps. this allows the rich spice mix that we use to be compressed with the main ingredients inside while adding the smell of the banana leaf. it can range between meat, fish, mix of those with rice, sometimes even tofu.
    it's called "Pepes" if you're interested in looking up the cooking method

    The best pork I ever had was on base in Germany when the polynesian soldiers dug a big pit lined with rocks that they heated with a wood fire, then buried an entire seasoned pig wrapped in banana leaves in it for I think two days. It melted like butter in my mouth and the flavor was phenomenal.

    You gotta use something to "break" the integrity of the leaf, some charcoal or smoke or even in the oven. I think with sous vide, it was the equivalent of putting a hickory piece inside the bag and throwing it into the water bath and expecting to get some flavor. That's my theory, great video Guga!

The aroma gets overpowering if we leave the meat wrapped in the leaves for too long. That’s why we mainly use it to wrap meat/fish when grilling. Hope you will try that and I am sure you will like it!!

    Yep, a good idea to use the banana leaf for doing pulled pork, here in Hawai’i, we do Kālua pork, which is a pulled pork dish in Hawai’i, Kālua basically means cooked in an underground oven, they wrap it in banana leaves or in a palm like leaf called a ti leaf. If you see this comment Guga, if you can acquire it, could you try the same thing with Ti leaves, I haven’t had Kālua pork made with it leaves before so I don’t really know if there is any differences or not.

    I think it does come down to many things, I fully agree with you on the high temperature, but also with the other meats they have a higher fat content so taking that into consideration, they were able to extract a lot more flavor's from the leaf. I do also think applying a flame to it would also work, if you were to lets say torch the meat wrapped in the banana leaf first it would permeate almost like a smoking method. I may be wrong but I've worked as a chef for 15+ years with many foods, my favorite time of week is seeing you drop content on here or Guga Foods, much love

  • @DaniMartVTen
    @DaniMartVTen 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hey Guga,
    The smoke with moisture becomes an acid that breaks-down the cellular membrane of the banana leaf plant, releasing its sugars and various other compounds.
    For the pork butt, which is very fatty, benefits from acid.
    For the pork ribs, which is very lean, the acid spoiled the meat.
    For the salmon, as there was no smoke there was no acid, the leaf absorbs the excess moisture thereby lessening the fishy flavor.
    For the steak, there was no smoke thereby no acid, the banana leaf plant couldn't impart any flavors into any of the fats.
    If you don't have smoke, add lemon slices, and/or lightly grill or freeze & steam the banana leaf plant before wrapping, so as to break-down the cellular membranes?

    We use them in Puerto Rico for what we call yellow rice(it's just rice mixed with beans, peas or chicken with color seasoning) but the real deal breaker is pasteles which is unripe ground bananas stuffed with good stuff like pork olives peppers etc. all this wrapped in the banana leaf and then boiled. You can also use yuca and even rice aside from the ground bananas. No matter what you use we always say in Puerto Rico, pastel without ketchup ain't a pastel

    In Puerto Rico we make the rice with the leave on top of the rice! We also make “pasteles” is pretty similar to a tamale but the masa is made from plantains and wrapped on banana leaves

    We use bannana leaves often for wrapped cooking. Its free, its everywhere, its biodegradable, locks in moisture good. Doesn't really add much flavor tbh.

    Hey Guga! I'm from malaysia. It's great that you using banana leaf because my country using banana leaf in anything they cook it. How about you try my country meathod. Before you wrap with banana leaf or sous vide, you must seasoning or marinated whatever you cook with banana leaf. And after you sous vide it, you must drain the juices and don't open the banana leaf wrap but you must cook it with banana leaf. Because it will bring more flavour fron that banana leaf. It's up to you to choose to grill or pan searing or smoker grill or flame torch. When you cooking it don't burn much the banana leaf. If you have little burn it oraite it still delicious. You also can smoker with banana leaf before your sous vide it. I hope my country method will enjoy you food like us enjoy at here.

    If you try to use banana leaves on low temprature sous vide, you should heat up the leaves until the color change and then wrap the meat up tightly before vaccum seal it. It would 100% work on any kind of meat or vegs

    Should do an experiment where like this you put the banana leaf on the WRONG side, just to see if it changes perception. Like a test where you give a placebo
    Do two meats one with a leaf and one without and compare it to the exact same meat but the leaf on the correct side.

  • @mokshalani8414
    @mokshalani8414 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    You need combustion to get the flavor of banana leaf, kinda like blistering chilies & then removing the skin
    Hawaii cooks banana leaf in imu (red hot pit of rocks with layers upon layers of moist vegetation) & combustion & moisture both are very important for that characteristic smokey aroma of the leaf to go into food. When banana leaf is just steamed, it is only a convenient packaging with mild preservative properties

  • @jamesjimenez2888
    @jamesjimenez2888 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    It’s great with chicken also. But best way is on you bbq grill. I also recommend, tilapia with salt & pepper mixed with sliced tomatoes & onions. Wrapped in banana leaf. Then deep fry it. One of the best ways to cook tilapia in my opinion.

    You could do a beef recipe with the banana that needs higher temperature, like the México's carne deshebrada (pulled beef) or the beef/pork tamale. Or even maybe beef patties

  • @AngryAlfonse
    @AngryAlfonse 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I wonder if it has to do with the... "absorbency" of meat. I've always noticed that squishier meats with thinner muscle fibers (like fish and pork) take on the flavor of marinades and smoke a lot more than firmer meats with thicker muscle fibers (like beef and venison).
    I'd be interested in seeing this experiment or a similar one done with chicken vs duck to test that theory.

    Well.. i think the best way to use the leaf in the "grill or open fire" type of cooking, you should char it first after wrapping the meat and put it in the bag. In will make a huge different.
