Hi, I'm Uyen Ninh but please just call me Uyen!
I moved from Vietnam to Germany 3 years ago for studying. I make silly videos about how Germany looks like through the eyes of a Vietnamese - on my way to be your favourite Ausländer! :D - Komedie

You should do another video and let a German person „cook“ all of these recipes for you and you have to try them again…
Oh yes, we need a collaboration with @SallysWelt !
@@pirlie I think it's a good idea...but what if she still doesn't like it? She'd feel some sort of pressure to say she likes it to the person who made it or to appease her audience.
@@doodahgurlie
I think it can be done in a “which is the best German dish?” type of ranking video, from a Vietnamese perspective.
So like 5 different classic German dishes are made, and then they are ranked against each other, where one wins.
The focus isn’t if she likes someone else’s cooking or not, but which dish wins and which is ranked the lowest.
I'm a vote for YES. Have a German person who has practiced to do this. I would gladly watch the whole thing and give thumbs up!
Imo GBF should do the cooking so she can be more honest with the review
So much criticism about the Toast Hawaii - but the worst thing wasn't even mentioned! The ham! That wasn't ham! 🤣 I can't even imagine how a Toast Hawaii tastes with Lyoner instead of ham. And I won't try! 😆
Anyway - kudos for trying these German nightmare foods. ^^
I was about to comment. As a German currently eating a Hawai Toast I was so triggered I almost snorted bits of pineapple across my desk 😭😂
Edit: oh god the Schmalzbrot. My grandma would die on the spot from horror. What is happening 😨
Edit 2: I'm done with the video now. All I wanna do is lock Uyen and german boyfriend in my living room and prepare these things properly for them T_T
I’m glad I’m not the only one… they taste really different!
I had the same thoughts!! Haha
Yep, definitely screwed up the ham D:
it's like she /accidentally/ got the bread right, so she toasted it beforehand, just to complete the set of mistakes 🤭 - and just hearing the intro to the Schmalzbrot, this is where I stop watching, I love her, but no.
Love that the whole world is coming together to defend the sweet rice pudding haha... Indians also have a similar dessert called "kheer" that is made in the same way and you can substitute jaggery for sugar, raisins for cherry and cardamom powder for cinnamon powder...
Regardless of how it's made, everyone has very fond memories attached to the sweet rice pudding! Hope you come to love it too Uyen...❤️
justice to milchreis (thats how we call it) it good if done correctly 😂
Brazil has arroz doce (sweet rice) and it's prepared exactly the same. I made it yesterday and it's one of my favorite comfort foods. I will not tolerate slander against it! Lol
We also have sort of a rice pudding in the Philippines but we add cocoa and call it champorado. I add so much milk when I am having it. Plus we have the sticky rice that has coconut milk and sugar paired with fresh mangoes. I also love Milchreis it's addictive.
Do you use precooked or ground rice for kheer? A little saffron and nuts is good too.
ohhooo we eat sticky rice with jaggery and milk too! Also sticky rice with mango and milk is adored at our house. We live in Bangladesh
“If I don’t have rice papers I won’t just use a tortilla”
😂😂😂😂😂
Some ideas from a German who loves these dishes:
1. Toast Hawaii: Try to use Ketchup instead of butter and use real ham (Hinterkochschinken) instead if Lyoner. And of course you can use fresh pineapple :)
2. Try the Schmalzbrot with pickles (Gewürzgurken) and roasted Onions (Röstzwiebeln). I know that it is a common snack in german pubs, so it's something that is likely eaten when you are drinking alcohol.
3. Milchreis: Please don't wash the rice before cooking it. You need the starch for the consistency. And try to let the milk cook before adding the rice :) Some people als like to add vanilla pudding powder. An other common way to eat it is with apple sauce instead if cherries.
Hope it helps if you want to try something again :)
many people wash the rice to get rid of nasty stuff like Arsenic, and IMO not washing rice is eeeeek.
@@marcd6897 I know, but it doesn't help when cooking this dish. :D Although there will always be remains of "nasty stuff", packaged rice is mostly already well cleaned in Germany.
Omg, yeees! We use tomato concentrate and spread it on toast hawaii. It is tart and sweet and fits sooo well with the pineapple.
Omg, yeees! We use tomato concentrate and spread it on toast hawaii. It is tart and sweet and fits sooo well with the pineapple.
@marcd6897 It's special rice for this dish. That's why the packaging says "Milk rice" you do not have to clean this kind of rice. It's already cleaned and has other ingredients in it. You would just wash the ingredients away and so it doesn't taste how it should.
5:30 “I make fresh spring rolls but I’m out of rice paper so I use a tortilla.” 😂 German boyfriend said this with his whole chest omg.
He was trying to make a point
That's exactly what Uyen did, though. While cooking is more creative than baking, there are still basics that have to be followed.
For example, if I cut up steak, stir fry and serve with ketchup and curry, it's not "Currywurst", it's (probably) an abomination.
SAVAGE German Boyfriend. He's so great!
Toast Hawaii is probably one of the easiest things in the world and she messed up 4 of the 4 ingredients, and then put it into an air fryer.
I mean we all make rookie mistakes, and it made for a fun video, but she shouldn't judge German food based on her experiments
Rice pudding is so good. We also make baked rice here in the US which is similar, but baked with raisins, sugar, cinnamon in like a warm pudding/custard.
I think most people agree on the fact that all across Europe we love milchreis. In Serbia we call it sutlijaš and many restaurants are offering it as dessert. Everyone's grandmother was cooking it at some point. :) And lard bread is not very common nowadays but as kids we thought it is the best thing ever, with just a little bit of salt (but not as much lard as you used). But the pineapple toast is just weird. :D I would love to see more videos with you trying out different German foods. This one was super fun to watch!
Well the way it was made in this video was an abomination. Xd When properky done it can be delicious. It's one of those dishes that's only as good as its ingredients; you need quality. I'd use a slice of white country bread rather than toast, then you put butter on it (no tomato anything, it's not a pizza), thinly sliced real ham (definitely NOT slicing sausage!), fresh pineapple if you can get a nice ripe one, and top with a mild cheese that melts well, like Swiss cheese or gouda. Stick it in the oven under the grill until the cheese starts to just slightly brown. The sweetness and slight acidity of the pineapple goes surprisingly well with the smoky flavour of ham and the creamy cheese. It's one of my favourite snacks but I wouldn't eat the sad excuse shown here. ;)
Lard on a piece of good bread, with salt and paprika, was something I would eat when young. Loved it!
I could listen to an audible that german boyfriend narrated, his voice is so soft and calming.
Hi Uyenn!! Here in Spain we call this dessert arroz con leche, and the technic is not grong, the grong part is to put the sugar in with everything on the pot since the very first moment. The sugar needs to be add at the end so the rice can be soft. Also the round grain rice is pretty diferent from jasmine rice and is the best for this recipe, due to its lack of flavour it absorbs any flavour from the liquid ❤
Wow same in India! We call it kheer
Same in Bangladesh too. We call it Payesh. You can make it with sugar. Or use jaggery instead of sugar then it will have a beautiful smell of jaggery and it will be brown in colour. It's so yummy.
in from el salvador and its the same here😅😅
Hi, German here! We can add the sugar at the beginning of cooking it doesn't affect it usually. What affected her cooking was actually her washing the rice beforehand because the rice used for Milchreis as most other "standard" rices in Germany are already prewashed, so she managed to wash out the last bit of starch that was in the rice. I'd love to try out arroz con leche sometimes though, it must also be very good!
I’m British and we have Rice Pudding here. Very similar and we use short grain pudding rice for it. I like making it with coconut milk but cow’s milk is the traditional way.
1. I think the main reason for the CANNED pineapple on the Hawaii toast is simply because the recipe is several DECADES old (1950s) when fresh pineapple was hard to get in Germany.
2. The LARD bread... you CAN get the lard premade in the store. That usually has a few extra ingredients like salt and a few herbs or greaves(dt. Grieben) in it. Tastes WAY better than pure fat.
3. The Rice: an old method of "cooking" it is to actually cook it rather hot at the beginning and then remove it from the stove, wrap it in 1-2 blankets and let it steep for 1-2 hours (until soft).
This "grandma method" means you can do something else while waiting. That way you only have to keep it on the stove for ~20-30min. Also: use round rice and NO WASHING IT !!!
I advice against using fresh pineapple with cheese it can start to break the cheese down and make it disgusting
It is canned because it's a dish for people who either can't cook, or just don't have the time nor energy. Toast Hawaii is made with the cheapest cheese, cheap canned fruit and cheap bread (toast) on purpose. If we wanted it to be "fancier" the bread is the first thing we'd improve about it, trust me.
That’s exactly what my grandmother did to the rice to. She always placed in in her bed too
Yes their was one a time in US where pinapple was realy hart to get so the price went up 8000$ per piece and their was also a market that borrow/lend pineapple for special conditions like famious gov visits
Pretty much the same in Romania too. For a very long time, fresh pineapple wasn't available or affordable. The pork fat is better if you grind crunchy deep fried bacon and mix it in, paprika, salt and pepper too.
Though Schmalzbrot is a common snack in all regions of Germany, I've never heard that it's served for breakfast.
Usually it is eaten as a hardy afternoon snack (vesper) or in the evening with a drink. Commonly the onions are added already in the frying process so that they caramelize. Ready to eat lard with onions and apples you can find in plastic containers like margarine in supermarkets; plain lard in cubes similar to butter packages.
This is my favorite video because of the discussion… it’s fun to watch them actually interact to one another. Love you guys… ❤❤❤❤❤
Me thinking, German and Vietnamese get together through a third language. Making them both more linguistic than anyone I know. And that's just complicated.
I found your suffering through the German dishes very entertaining.😂
Also mildly shocked how you prepared most of them. My German heart shrifled and ran for the hills🏃♂️😂
I love that you still refer to him as German boyfriend even though he’s your fiancé 😂😂 I hope you still refer to him as German boyfriend when he’s your husband too. So funny.
I wonder how often she slips up IRL and accidentally refers to him as "German boyfriend" to friends and family :D
Next stage i hope he will become "German waifu" 😍
His name is My German Boyfriend.
It's legally his name
I hope she changes it to german husband with no warning and just continues it that way
Toast Hawaii is really simple with just a few ingredients. So it's important not to switch it up too much.
Use toast, cooked ham, canned pineapple and cheese that melts easily. (Often, people use "Scheiblettenkäse" which is very processed cheese that melts in an instant. So much so that it's almost wrong to call it cheese anymore. )
Just assemble everything and put it in the oven until the cheese is melted and the corners of the toast are crispy. No need to toast the bread first.
It would be best to use English Cheddar or Gruyère..
Loved the video! Your interactions we really sweet, authentic, and hilarious. More please!
Girl, rice pudding is famous all over Europe and the US there are tones of recipes including in the rice cooker. And it taste great! 😍
I prefer to use cream of rice instead of regular rice. Also add brown sugar, butter, vanilla, and egg yolks and it is the bomb 🤤
It's famous in Latin America too
asia as well, cardamom rice pudding is an Indian specialty
Rice pudding is delicious! As soon as Uyen started describing the dish, I knew exactly what it “should” taste like, at least here in the States.
I'm surprised she was so put off by it. Plenty of countries in Asia have a similar dessert (although it is sometimes made with coconut milk instead of cow's milk). The main mistake here is that she used long grain rice, which will never fully cook through in milk and will never give the right sticky/creamy consistency.
this is NOT ham, its more a type of Lyoner-meat, which _obviously_ will be horrible with _anything_ combined with it, since it has its own flavour profile due to its spices which were not designed to be mixed with anything. ham is just meat and salt, so u just have the taste of the meat itself, which makes it much more suitable for creating something with it
yeah lol, was waiting for the bf to point out that this is literally LYONER and not Schinken!!
That would also be my main critique for the toast hawaii
This!
Exactly!
Same here, I'm a Hawaiian pizza lover,I like the idea,but that was a totally wrong ham.
Making fresh rolls with a tortilla was a really good analogy he used on you 🤣
Uyen, loved this video!! It was so much fun to watch. Really brightened my day, thank you!
Girl!!!!! Rice pudding is a dessert and is very famous in Indian subcontinent. It tastes great with a little bit of condensed milk and lots of dry fruits. I eat rice as my staple food and i noticed we have a lots of similarities in terms of food we eat. I am sure you will like the kheer too(milk rice) .. Just try and watch a Indian recipe on CZcams
As a Vietnamse who tried more than 3 times to enjoy rice pudding, I understand Uyen's opinion about it a little bit. Dairy consumption culture isn't a very common thing in Vietnam, even in the big cities. Also, based on where Uyen grew up, I assume it's far more difficult for her to experience milk / cheese / cream with foods in her childhood 🤔 Vietnamese's common comfort foods have almost zero connections with dairy products, and to be honest, our gourmet thinking is pretty limited in a way, not so open-minded at combining sweet and savory flavors together 😅 of course we do wanna learn new things outside our country, but that'll take some time
It’s also really popular in Scandinavian countries like Norway and my family always eats it on Christmas! It’s so cool to see how everyone around the world eats similar dishes
@@SaraMinatzexactly I was amazed too when she was talking about rice with milk. I didn't expect this in the list at all .
Also read other comments coming from different parts of the world made me realise even if there might be huge differences but Similarities does exists!
@@riderkamen9353 I see.. It happens. even though we South Asians do have commons there are still things which we cannot relate to.. Kheer maybe one of them
Right? Rice milk pudding is an asian food staple. Maybe the type of rice is the problem. We prefer the very sticky ones.
Soooo. I think we need to clarify something.
Toast Hawaii:
I personally don't like it, but I have to correct that Lyoner (which is basically a baloney sausage) is NOT ham. It's a sausage. For toast Hawaii you need cooked ham, not baloney. So, even though I'm not on Team Hawaii, I need to correct this. 😂
Schmalzbrot:
I was a bit confused, because you can buy this lard ready as a spread in almost every supermarket, even in discounters. It's called "Griebenschmalz" or sometimes "Zwiebelschmalz" which has already onions in it. :)
Especially the onion version isn't bad at all, even though I can't eat too much of it.
And in Germany you can also get like the bacon rind (Speckschwarte) which is just the white fat and it's actually needed for traditional recipes like Möhrendurcheinander/Möhreneintopf.
Milchreis:
I mean, it has to be super soft, otherwise it's not done yet. It has to be the "special" "milk rice rice"!! Furthermore, you need to cook the cherries with some starch or some "glaze" (for fruit cakes) so they get a little bit more thickened. Then you put the hot cherries with a ton of cinnamon on top of the milk rice. 🥰
Makes such a difference!
Edit: added the "milk rice rice", I dunno how I missed that, thx comments 🥺
Homemade schmalz is always better
Agree but what she made was no Schmalz, it was rendered bacon fat that solidified… not proper Schmalz
Nice comment. I would add:
Schmalzbrot:
The most important thing is to have a great fresh bread from a real bakery. The dish just consists of 2 parts so use hig quality. Lard can be bought at a supermarket for example "Apfel-Grieben-Schmalz" which is ok. But especially at christmas you get "Gänseschmalz" at a lot of butchers, which I like more. If you want to make it yourself, season it while cooking and put roasted onions in rather than the fresh ones. I guess it is not the right dish for breakfast because it is very heavy. It is more for the evening aside with some slices cucumber or radish.
And I have to say on a butter bread you have the same amount of fat. If you put a slice of sausage and cheese on it even more.
Milchreis:
uyen there is no way to use jasmin rice, please do not try that. Milchreis takes time and the right amount of milk. Yes the cherries have to warmed up with some starch thickened cherry juice. I personally would not combine cherries with cinnamon. I think either cherries or sugar and cinnamon.
@@HerrChiller I totally prefer the combination of cinnamon AND cherries. Sometimes I even add some to my cherries. :)
And I totally missed she used Jasmine rice omg 😭😭
I totally assumed she used milk rice rice 😂
@@myrillya everyone likes different things i guess.
I do not know which rice she used but at 14:40 she said next time i try jasmin rice or so.
For the Schmalzbrot: cube the fat and slowly get it roasted. Then remove the crispy cubes and roast some cubed onions in the oil.
When the Onions are crispy too add the crispy pork cubes back in and let it cool/harden.
Then you have Zwiebelgriebenschmalz which is the best Schmalz for Schmalzbrot. The normal one tastes bland, and also dont use as much lard as on some pictures online, thats too much. Also dont use Bread like you have used, rather use a Krustenbrot.
Dont forget the salt before eating :j
Etwas fein geschnittene Apfelstückchen und Gewürze (Rosmarin, Thymian etc.) runden das Schmalz ebenfalls sehr angenehm ab. Unbedingt ausprobieren.
"I am Sorry about my Strategy" needs to be a jingle and on a T-shirt lol
Couple thoughts on the Milchreis:
- don’t wash it. You want all the starch.
- you don’t have to stir it all the time (even though most recipes will tell you to). Bring it to the boil while stirring, then put a lid on and turn down the heat to lowest setting and stir every 15 minutes or so.
- Cook it till it’s completely soft, not however long it says in the recipe. Depending on the rice, your stove, and the mood of the day it can take 30 minutes to an hour.
- I‘ve never put Sherry in it, but you can add whatever you want. Some of my favourites are cherries from the jar or apple sauce on the side and of course, cinnamon sugar on top.
- It’s not the easiest dish to get right, but it can be delicious once you do.
- Oh, whatever you do, do not use random other rice for it. You need Aborico rice (also known as Milchreis or Rissotto Rice) because it has enough starch to thicken the milk and the ability to soften all the way through.
Complicated German horchatta pudding!
the best way to make Milchreis is to just buy it in the store LOL. Perfect every time
@@epiccuppycakes6786uuurrrghh pls no
we also eat this in France but without the cinnamon or cherries. What we sometimes do is put it in individual cups and add some caramel on the bottom. I also like to use honey instead of sugar to add some subtle flavor.
So I was about to write some advice but I saw your post and you said it all. I could just add that washing the rice is not just bad because you need the starch, that's part of the issue, but on top of that the rice starts absorbing water and so it won't absorb the milk as well as it should and the flavors won't mix well.
also use a lot of butterxDD
In Europe rice cooked in milk is quite popular I think. I'm from Romania and it's my childhood desert. But for a while I used to live in Japan and when I told people about it they were a bit shocked and skeptical :))) just like you. Now I'm back in Europe, in Spain and people eat it here too. I actually consider it a comfort food. ❤️
I shared a kitchen with asians in many hostels. I think they don't have a concept of cooking with milk. I made a roux sauce with milk, they were very surprised. And I was surprised when they made macaroni with potato. Good times.
@@bcamping1well, roux is very common in Japan at least, there are many yoshoku dishes that involve it, though I think for home cooks it's more commonly encountered in premade sauce mixes rather than made from scratch
Also if we're not just talking about cow's milk, there are *many* recipes in the region that use soy milk in basically the same way in cooking, including in soups, stews, and desserts, so it shouldn't be so weird. For example, hot pot / nabe with a soy milk base is very popular
@@bcamping1 It's different in Southeast Asia. Milchreis for us is in the same category with basmati and other kind of rice that used for main course food.
The ones we use for sweet dessert are white and black (sticky)glutinous rice. Usually cooked with coconut milk.
In America we call it rice pudding and eat it with raisins. Delicious!
@@zitronenteefor the rice pudding she made it has to be arborio rice and cooked in the oven for 45min-1hr. Love From Scotland xxxx 🏴
This made me smile and I love the relaxed mood of the video ❤
I loved this video!
Besides it being informative, it was pretty funny and you’ve inspired me. I’m going to make three Swedish recipes for my American Swedish husband.
I get where the rice pudding could be off putting at first glance, but here are some things to keep in mind:
1. Plenty of rice eating cultures have rice porridges (think congee in China or juk in Korea), where the rice is cooked long enough to break down. This just happens to be a sweet version of that.
2. Rice is an import ingredient in northern Europe, so historically it was a bit of a luxury. As such, it makes sense for it to be used to make a treat, rather than as an everyday staple.
3. This is the kind of recipe where you don't want to wash your rice. Much like with risotto, you want the starch coating the short grain rice to thicken the pudding. The low and slow cooking method, combined with the stirring helps to release the starch. I do not recommend using jasmine rice or any other kind of long grain rice, because you won't have enough starch to get the right consistency.
@kirstenpaff8946 from Asia here(Philippines)...and we have rice porridge like this but we wash our rice well. to make the consistency, we will mix some glutinous rice with sweet rice porridge or just use the glutinous rice...i like this as snack or dessert. we cook this with toasted mung bean or sweetcorn, like how we cook in our Province instead of cherry and cinnamon....or also with chocolate (tsokolate batirol) which we call champorado. many Filipinos love champorado.
Thanks for mentioning the starch I did realize
Wir haben schon im Mittelalter Reis gehabt. Der kam damals nicht aus asien
I disagree on the long grain rice comment. My family only uses jasmine rice and our rice pudding turns out just fine 🤷🏼♀️
Yeah short grain rice like Arborio or Bomba is the way to go, Jasmine would not work out. I can't read the label, but it looks like she use Basmati? Not great for this if so as that would be a source of the hard texture she was experiencing.
Milk rice is called Payesh or kheer in India depending on where in India you are from.. We make it a little differently... We add the sugar at the end. Without the sugar the rice cooks faster. Also, we take a whole lot of milk and reduce it down... That makes it taste creamy.
It was fun watching you cook German recipies. ❤
im to lazy to wait till the milk is creamy and put at the end sugar and milk powder.^^
I think this is yet another recipe we may have stolen from India here in the UK. I've never made it myself but here we call it "creamed rice" though I know it's made from milk not cream. I will try and find some Payesh or Kheer soon to see how similar it is to what my gran used to make!
also called paramannam in telugu :)
I loved this video! Even if you’re a fairly good good cook I think making unfamiliar dishes is really hard. Good for you for giving them a go - and not cutting out the mistakes 🙂👍 I learned a lot!
I love your honesty! It gives me courage to try new foods and recipes and cant wait to try pho!
Girl, rice pudding is a very common dish across different cultures and countries. There is also very loved and famous Turkish rice pudding dessert called Sütlaç/Sutlac. You can probably find it in Turkish restaurants in Germany. Try it, I bet you like it!
Sutlac is the best! But you can do a lot of things wrong here too.
@@heikeh.9977 yess that's why she should try it in a Turkish restaurant 😄
I was aboutta say lol it's a popular dessert in Indian cuisine too. We normally just have it with sugar and maybe raisins/cashews in it
I'm also confused by the fact that she dislikes sweet rice dishes. Mango Sticky Rice is such a popular dish from Thailand. I can't imagine that there are no similar dishes in Vietnam.
arroz con leche !!
Growing up in a Mexican-Japanese household, my mom would sometimes make milk rice "arroz con leche" with cold leftover sushi rice, since it's already cooked it didn't take long. My dad hates it, but I love it! Adding a bit of vanilla extract and crushed walnut is also delicious!
Qué viva el arroz con leche 🔥🔥🔥
We add cinnamon sugar and brown butter (melt butter till it turns golden brown, but don't let it burn)
And if you freeze it like a popsicle it tastes even better!! I swear... And I understand why Japanese people hate arroz con leche 😂 it's like for us Mexicans trying their sweet red beans 😂
Yeah thats how my mom made it! It's a dish to use up leftover rice
Yes we had rice pudding growing up but used leftover rice as well.
Ugh I love your videos girl keep going! These longer videos are fun
LoL. Calling Paprikalyoner 'ham' is a sacrilege all by itself. 🤣
Hi Uyên, Vietnamese living in Germany here and I come to defend the Milchreis :)
It's not as weird as you mentioned if you think about it. Since you come from the North VN, I am sure you are familiar with "xôi chè" or "chè kho", which are also rice eaten sweet. Also the way to make Milchreis is basically how you cook "cháo" except with milk instead of water. And I'm pretty sure all of us has tried "cháo đường" once in their life right haha
Also protip, Milchreis (the rice itself not the dish) is basically the most similar in texture to Jasmin rice since it stick together when cooked unlike Basmati or Long-grain rice which look like Jasmin but completely fall apart once cooked. It's also usually the cheapest, so it's very popular within the vietnamese students circle here in Germany. Also "cháo" cooked with Milchreis (again the rice only) is way better than Jasmin I think.
I bet if your rice cooker has a porridge setting, you could use the rice cooker to cook milk rice.
"...and I come to defend the Milchreis." 😂😂😂😂 Sorry, but so funny!!!❤
The hawaii toast was hilarious 😂 Love how the bf pointed out all the wrong things at the end 😅 If there was a German version of Uncle Roger he would have put is knee down immediately 😂
Actually, there's an old version of "Uncle Roger", it's "Der deutsche Michel". I find that allegory terribly old and boring, but it's there and you might hear or read it from many older Germans, when they talk about the German people in general.
But did he really? This dish had nothing to do with Toast Hawaii at all, since the type of meat was completely wrong.
@@bibliopolistYes, and kind of think he didn't even mention it any more "by the way that's not even ham" because he already criticised all the other ingredients.😅
And beside the different cheese, the missing ham is what changes the flavour the most...
He forgot to mention that she did use sausage instead of ham - the "Paprika-Lyoner" is more like blogna-sausage. So it will taste different. And the recipe asks for canned, because in the 70th were that is from, you could rarely by fresh 🍍 anywhere in germany.
We always added a bit of ketchup for taste ;)
@@KatZwe Stopped the video to look at the comments as soon as I saw that sausage.... Putting sausage on toast Hawai (or Pizza Hawai) is just *wrong*.
I'm French and I love the rice in milk with some vanilla which we call " Riz au lait". I think it's easier to buy it already made and eat it cold as a dessert tho. Quite a popular dish across Europe.
Uyen you’re FANTASTIC ❤. Your explanation of things is just fabulous. Love you guys so much ❤❤❤❤.
The bread with lard is usually made with different lard in Poland is called "smalec" the fat is with caramelized onion and parts of bacon in it with a lot of spices. It is delicious with salty pickles 😅
Yeah you definitely need pickles 🥒
I think the version with onions in the "Schmalz" is actually more common in Germany too, rather than having just plain fat. Sometimes apples are added into the fat during the fat cooking process. And the fat is at least salted, sometimes with spices added.
Yeah see that sounds good! Caramelized onion, bacon, pickles and would add sauteed mushrooms if so...Ok now that sounds a fancy burger without the burger.
Hey! I`m from Ukraine and i like smalec wery much. It`s realy good with fresh bread and hot soup when it`s cold outside. How do you call pigs fat in Poland (we call it "Salo")?
@@user-bt5ns2nc9x”Lard” is pig’s fat.
"That's a rookie mistake" and "Authentic Hawaii toast cheese is the one that is put in plastic and kind of taste like plastic" and "Second round, Second round, Second round" We need a German BF spin-off channel! 😂
It´s also with ham and not this sausage stuff.
@@its_frida hinterkochschinken ist der handelsname.^^
I have never heard of Hawaii toast before, however having had Hawaiian pizza I am not surprised that it didn't work with your ingredients. I also like cheddar cheese, but I wouldn't usually put it on pizza or pair it with pineapple.
the canned pineapple is used for some very easy reason... this was a post ww2 dish, created by a tv cook ( Clemens Wilmenrod). things like canned pineapples and other canned things were good available because of the american occupation in the west. in the mid 50s, when toast hawaii was invented it stands for travelling and the exotic. many people added Pushkin - Cherries or cranberries to the toast hawaii also.
Thank you for this video. Everything in it had me talking back with you im my head.
Milk rice is a very popular dessert in France too, called "riz au lait" which basically means the same thing. I can 100% relate to german bf saying that it's a comfort food reminding him of his grandma! Here we infuse it with vanilla while cooking though, and no cherries or cinnamon on top
Regarding the Hawaii toast, it's definitely a german thing but I get the vibe. I suspect that this recipe was developed during the post-WW2 boom of convenience products, when canned fruit was bringing a bit of exoticism to european households at a time when fresh pineapple was a rarity! Hence why recipes always call for canned slices
The Toast Hawaii was indeed developed in West Germany in the 1950ies.
As an East German, it was already out of fashion when I learned about it after reunification and have eaten it maybe twice in my life.
I think you’re right, the recipe is a hangover from mid-Last century, hence the canned pineapple and the plastic cheese (and the cocktail cherry if you really follow a recipe). 😂 Nowadays it’s usually a staple for „I had a long day and the kids need to eat“. I think we all grew up with it. It definitely needs tomato sauce/ketchup with it though.
I understand Uyen's opinion about rice pudding a little bit, as a Vietnamse who tried more than 3 times to enjoy rice pudding. Dairy consumption culture isn't a very common thing in Vietnam, even in the big cities. Also, based on where Uyen grew up, I assume it's far more difficult for her to experience milk / cheese / cream with foods in her childhood 🤔 Vietnamese's common comfort foods have almost zero connections with dairy products, and to be honest, our gourmet thinking is pretty limited, not so open-minded at combining sweet and savory flavors together 😅
Asian in Germany here. I think that pineapple goes better with salami than ham. The sweet and salty are better balanced and it matches the asian flavour profile more.
About the milk rice, it's not supposed to be washed before cooking because you need the starch to get that creamy texture. Also the milk needs to come to a boil first before turning the heat from high to medium.
One yummy dish to try would be Reibekuchen mit Apfelmus, potato pancakes with apple sauce. You can buy the batter ready to cook.
I would love to watch how you take a vietnamese dish and germanize it or the other way round. Maybe a banh mi with some german ingredients?
Next video: german boyfriend cook weird Vietnamese food 🤣
Laugh out loud for real, what a sense of humor! Thank you from the great NW in USA 😊
My parents used a trick so you don't have to stand by the pot and watch the Milchreis all the time: They let it nearly boil once and then wrapped the pot in multiple blankets to trap the heat and let the rice soften. We loved it as kids, my parents put the pot in the bed and "let it sleep" until we could eat.
Same way my mother always made the Milchreis, except she'd put it into heatproof Tupperware before wrapping that, as metal dissipates heat a lot quicker.
@@Totobiii Great idea! We didn't have that in East Germany and shortly after the Mauerfall 🙈🙈🙈
This is seriously so cute ❤
German bf your shirt is fire!!!!!!
Hat meine Mom auch immer gemacht, der Milchreis war dann immer matschig. #notmymilkrice
Rookie mistake hunny 🤣 The lard that goes on bread is call Griebenschmalz and same as in Poland it is made with caramelized onions and lots of other things. Yes you can make it yourself but every good butcher should have it too. Also, it is best on fresh bread.
We make it with caramelised onions too in the north of england and call it mucky fat on toast - the way Uyen made it made me smile at her effort
What's funny: Now I once again learned in a foreigner's video sth. about Germany/German food in the supermarket, which I have passed by in the supermarkets throughout my whole life and never payed any attention to - as a German. Just like I did not at all know about and never had eaten Obazda, before I saw it mentioned so often in foreigners' YT videos.
@Ciara_Turner We in Hungary actually use just straight lard, or when a family makes a roast and collects the fat from it they'll use that. Usually from duck, goose or pork. We put salted or pickled onions on top amd sweet paprika powder.
I REALLY like your videos and i think you guys are an awesome couple.
3:26 😂😂😂thank you for making my day 😂❤
I love how everyone from everywhere seems to have their own version of rice pudding.
I'm British and it's certainly popular here.
My family often make it in a slow cooker and sometimes use coconut milk or cream which I love.
*apart from Vietnam, apparently :)
coconut milk - good idea
@@verenakremer6748 East and SE Asians don't really eat rice pudding (South Asians do eat rice pudding and probably Filipinos due to Spanish colonization/influence). In East and SE Asia, regular everyday rice is used in savory dishes only. Sticky rice (glutinous rice) can be used for sweet or savory dishes, though.
@@doodahgurlie Not completely true. Indonesians eat "Bubur ketan hitam" (= black sticky rice). It's sweet and made of sticky rice, coconut milk and cane or palm sugar.
@@doodahgurlie I looked it up and Thailand, Indonesia and the Philippines know several kinds of rice-pudding; and that is probably more due to Indian influence than Western influence. India is, after all, the origin of this kind of dish.
And apparently, Chinese congee can be eaten as a sweet dish as well...
1. Lyoner is a sausage, not ham. Can't imagine to eat it hot. 😬 High quality ingrediences are key here.
2. Lard for Schmalzbrot should be seasoned more and during cooking, with added Kümmel for example. Also, the best is Austrian/Bavarian "Bratlfettn" on bread. It's the lard that's left in the pan after a pork roast. Of course it's inviting heart desease, if one eats it on the regular. 😅
3. Maybe the German Auntie, who showed you how to bake a Donauwelle, will make a proper German Milchreis for you. Or a "Reisauflauf". 😋
4. All your recipies are kinda suspicious. 🤪
Definitely try Käsespätzle next🥺 It’s soooo good😮💨😭❤️
Uyen, the way you buttered the toast so unevenly sent my ancestors screaming crying into the void!
About the rice pudding - In Portugal we have a similar recipe, we call it "arroz doce". We only add the sugar after the rice has soften because sugar stops the cooking process.
Portuguese arroz doce is the best!!! ❤😋
Exatamente o que eu estava a pensar. Agora não preciso escrever nos comentários 😆. Obrigada. Que saudades do arroz doce e de Portugal tb...😥😥😥
The thing with lard isnt so straight forward too. I make my smalec/ Schmalz with carmelized onions, garlic, apples, black pepper, sometimes cumin, ton of marjoram and sometimes other ingredients like wild mushrooms. The best meat for smalec is pork jowl, preferably smoket; it needs to slowly cook in a high pot until all fat is rendered ab meaty part is starting to turn golden brown. I admire Uyen's entuiasm but what she cooked could not taste too good.
bless her she thought she can get lard from just pork belly on a pan… made me chuckle a lil. someone invite her to Poland! We will teach you!
You should make again these recipes but with a German cook teacher !!!!
Usually when you cook rice your ancestor will come down and whisper the measurement to you, but this time they turn away from what you about to cook 😂
Though they use different rice and different spices, Kheer is an Indian dish that resembles Milchreis a lot. So we are not the only ones cooking our rice in sweet milk.
There is no denial that it is a lot of work without a milk pan though.
Use a rice cooker. 1 part rice, 2,5 parts milk, press start and wait 12 min.
its a considerable cheap dish. often served for children but i knew it also from canteens in the university in germany
You can buy lard in any bigger supermarket in Germany. It´s specially seasond with herbs, onions or apple.
I've tried store bought lard but probably due to what they add, it doeosn't taste right to me.
Even in every Tante Emma Laden, means in small food stores or at the "Fleischer". You can buy it in glass or in plastic bowls :D
1. Toast Hawaii: My family does not usually put butter on it, you should also use more cheese and actual Ham (Hinterkochschicnken).
2. Schmalzbrot: It tastes best if you mix in slow cooked caramalized onions and some seasoning while cooking it. We make it after christmas.
3. Milchreis: You need the starch from the rice for the milk, so dont wash it! The milk should alsso boil before you add the rice. ;)
A good first try though!
Wait until she discovers bread pudding.
As a German (language teacher) I truly enjoy all of your videos so much! 😍You do not only make me laugh so much but you really amaze me how you show the many weird aspects about Germany, German culture and the German language 😅😅😅 but at the same time you are never disrespectful in any way 😊
I don't know about other parts of Germany but where I live (mid west Germany) you can just buy ready made Griebenschmalz at Aldi or Rewe 🤭
And it's more of an autumn dinner snack 😂
It is not the most common product, but I think you can get it everywhere in Germany. It is at least so common that you can get vegetarian versions of it in bigger supermarkets.
Eastern Europe here. We call it "smalec"(sounds similar with "schmalz") and yeah - you can buy it almost in every big supermarket. And it is wery delicious in my opinion =)
I think Schmalz is a rather southern thing, same with Kochkäse (which I can buy here in the regular store but when I visit my parents I won't find it anywhere) and other rather regional stuff.
@@Vampirzaehnchen my family moved from poland to hamburg 1947. that are all old recipes from poland that my grandparents and aunts knew, the diy version.
@@VampirzaehnchenI live in northern Germany, Schleswig-Holstein, and u can absolutely find Schmalz here, probably in every supermarket. And what is Kochkäse? Sounds just like it could be cream cheese, here u can find it as Schmelzkäse, it doesn't need to be refrigerated before opening, and we use it for example in Käse-Lauch-Suppe(mit Hack).
I was driving and playing this and when the toast when flying off the plate. Glad I was at a stop light. 😂😂😂😂
YES to the lard-bread! I was so skeptical when I tried it the first time. I am Australian but my husband is Hungarian and that is a common thing there (zsíroskenyér - "fatty bread" they call it). I immediately fell in love with it. Delicious in my opinion. Especially as a bar snack served with a beer.
in india (southern asia), we actually have a dessert with rice and milk and it's called "kheer" its delicious and rice are cooked perfectly and not wasted at all!! idk about cooking rice in the rice cooker but it usually can take about an hour or more depending on the recipe. my aunt used to make it and since cooking time was so much so it got diluted to less food and everyone wanted skehsk it's really good, so if you have time you can try it someday!
I was about to say when she made it I was like “this is just kheer” 😂
We make rice-milk (rizogalo) in Greece too! But we only add cinnamon on top, not cherries, and we often eat it cold after leaving it in the fridge, it's really good!
I loved it so much to see you making the milk rice with the scale and making sure that you use the exact measurements, like a proper german.
Honey ham and mozzarella would likely go better with pineapple, since honey ham is already sweet and mozzarella has very little flavor and thus combines well with strongly flavored foods (which is part of why it's used on pizza).
Cheese used under the ham and pineapple would likely be better, and broiled or air fried, giving pineapple and ham a bit of a nice grilled taste.
Canned pineapple in HEAVY SYRUP, not in the typical pineapple juice, tastes much closer to fresh pineapple and is better in recipes where pineapple is a key flavor.
Thsnks for all of your videos!
Omg. Listening to German Boyfriend say, “Tort-iLL-ia” just melted my heart. You guys are so adorable. In Spanish two ‘L’s together is pronounced ‘Y’, so “Torteeah”. Your cross cultural videos spark so much joy for all of us. 😊🩷👍🏼
Germans like to pronounce it "tor-til-ya". They know it's supposed to be a 'Y'-sound, but keep the 'L', too. (We don't have silent Ls.)
yes so adorable 😊
@@willguggn2 I know. I love it. 🥰
@@BairMendoza ^^
Ok Polish person here! A sandwich with lard is like a proper snack for drinking vodka here (which I personally hate, the vodka, but I love the sandwich!) and we put on it pickled cucumber and onion (some people put only one ingredient, some both) and salt. And it's freaking delicious! It's like a peasant delicacy hahaha 🤣 wooooow just realized that German Schmalz is Polish smalec (read: smaletz). Same same! 😂
So true , with little money you can make something so good, it's mind blowing.
My mom made it, when money was tide when we were kids 😬
Exactly. It needs pickled cucumber, onions (raw or fried) and Schnaps. Yummy, especially when it's freezing cold outside.
We typically had it with a big bowl of potato soup.
imported to germany.^^ i knew it from my grandparents and aunts whose came from west prussia.
Us Hungarians, we eat it with paprika powder, salt and red onions
You crotcheting on a chair while stirring the milky rice is everything :DD
I love Lard on the bread XD In Poland we cut the bacon in small pieces and fry it with apples and onions. We serve it on a bread with pickles. It's delicious.
I bought myself a rice cooker for Christmas (one of the better recent investments). As it’s a product of a German company, it has a dedicated Milchreis setting, which is just as easy as with regular rice, but requires stirring every 10-15 minutes and leaving the rice to rest for 10 minutes after cooking. I assume the difference is mainly in temperature as milk will boil over quickly. Milk rice is usually made with short grain rice, similar to risotto rice, that won’t get mushy despite the longer cooking time. Contrary to other preparations, I don’t think you’re meant to wash the rice (again, same as with risotto). The additional starch is needed for it to set. With jasmine rice, it would probably become a gloopy mess.
U absolutely shouldn't wash the rice! As u said, u need the starch, also the rice is just short grain rice, the same kind used for sushi. Maybe also risotto, I'm don't know about that. I usually make sushi with "Milchreis", because it's absolutely the same, but way cheaper.
@@Bimi-dd2wl didn't knew that, but if ur not a really picky eater I see no reason to use other rice to make the cooking time even longer 😅
But good to know.
I'm Italian and grew up with milk rice, but we called it "mushy rice" and it was a winter dish. My Nona would give us a bowl and a hunk of fresh bread. It was delish!
*nonna
Id love to see another video like this! :D i really appreciate you. My dads wife is vietnamese and she enjoys giving me food she makes. For christmas she made vietnamese flan and I could not get enough! So good!!its fun trying foods from different cultures even if they end up gross like lard toast lol😂
Loved this content
This was so funny to watch as a German! I really Iike milk rice. My mum made it when I was a child. So now it’s a comfort food for me as well. I like to eat it with applesauce and cinnamon. That’s how we ate it in my childhood home.
dear Uyen,
i'm Austrian and i regularly eat Schmalzbrot. i can give you a few tips:
1. don't make it yourself. buy the one from the store (you can use it for cooking really well). if you make it yourself, i would recommend making "Bratlfetten" - i.e. you cook fatty pork meat with a sauce in the oven. you get a mixture of lard and sauce jelly that tastes really good (no onions required).
2. try it with another bread. i recommend any wholemeal variety without nuts, grains or something in it. no white bread.
3. salt it before you put the onions on it. you can also eat it with white onions or greaves. i personally eat mine with slices of tomato.
4. eat it as dinner not as breakfast. it is definitely not a breakfast food xD
btw Milchreis is a lunch food for me. we usually cook it in a simmer pot (it has a floor filled with water that makes the milk not burn as easily). it tastes really well if you eat it with cocoa powder (the one you make the drink with not the one for baking).
No “Schmalzbrot" or “Bratlfettnbrot” can be considered the real deal without garlic, lots of thin slices of garlic!
We eat it with compot from cherries or plums and or a mix of Sugar and Cinnamon, Zimtzucker, in Germany.
Yeah, Schmalzbrot is good if you get the good stuff from the store or directly from the butcher. Homemade in this case just doesn't measure up unfortunately.
I love your chaotic german cooking 😂
Arroz con leche we eat in Mexico and its the best. Love to see other cultures have similar dishes
You make our ancestors cry😂 they cry because they have to laugh so hard 😂😂😂 So entertaining how you cook !
A similar version is very popular in our house (we're a mixed Belgian and Indian family)...we usually use a sandwich maker. The bread is sandwiched with ham, 2 gouda/emmental cheese slices and a nice round pineapple slice in between...
Being Indian, we also make a lot of rice-milk puddings (payesh)...the trick is to add the sugar at the very end (after the rice has softened)...sugar stops the rice getting soft when added in the beginning
Love your channel ❤
The sandwich maker idea is actually genius!
Watching you frying meat while holding those scissors...LOL....the best Chef image! Also, for the first recipe, I am not German but I doubt that that slice of "meat" with "pepperoni" is what you needed. Regarding the lard recipe....a lot of peoplein Europe use to eat like that espcially in the older days when butter was hard to get.The third recipe with rice and milk is very popular in many places in Europe and is very nice. Instead ofrice you can also use semolina.
The Rice for Milchreis is not suppoused to be washed, just like with risotto you want all the starch to stay in there to get a real creamy texture.
Milk rice is very close to CHAALER PAAYESH in India and Bangladesh.
It is a traditional dessert that we love. The recipe and technique is same but you have to use the correct type of rice. Then it won't take much time. The only time taking part is to thiken the milk fast, then cook very little amount of rice in it, and after the rice is soft, add sugar. We love to make it with fresh jaggery made from dates, and the smell is heavenly 😍.
❤nolen gur er payesh..
In Poland this Schmaltz (called smalec) is made of backfat, not from a bacon! There is a more expensive variant made from goose fat, and both can be plain, with carmelised onion, with pork scratching or even apples!
Yep ... and these varations you mentioned are the more tasty ones. Love to eat it together with some Cornichons/fine-quality gherkins.
And a version with apples is usually seasoned with marjoram.
Have to give you a ton of credit for being willing to try these dishes.
I love rice pudding! We bake it in the UK and I add freshly ground nutmeg instead of the cinnamon. It get a crispy brown skin on the top which is the best bit! You can also get tinned rice pudding which is okay but not a patch on homemade. BTW we use pudding rice in our rice puddings so the texture is totally different to using ordinary rice. Loved watching both of your reactions.
You should try "Maultaschen" next time. I used to love them as a kid and it's the food I miss the most since I moved away from Germany. Traditionally you eat them in soup but I think cutting them up and frying them with onions and bacon bits is sooo much better
The hardest thing to watch was the Lyoner on Hawaii Toast, Ham and Sausage is not the same!!
Could you please try Vorarlberg dishes? Like Ribel or something?❤
I Love your pijamas and that Office chair in the Kitchen 😂❤️
Hi, Uyen,
we eat rice porridge (Reisbrei) and preserved fruit (eingemachte Früchte) as a main dish and not only as a dessert. When it is almost finished we add two egg yolks for one liter milk, and the egg white is made to foam and also added. Thus the rice porridge becomes fluffy. There is a similar dish in Indonesia. It's called "Bubur ketan hitam" and made of sticky rice, coconut mik and cane or palm sugar.
There are many sweet main courses, especially in South Germany, e.g. Karthäuser Klöße, Pfannkuchen, Waffeln, Dampfnudeln, Pfitzauf, Weckeierhaber, Germknödel, Reisauflauf, Grießbrei, Grießschnitten, Natronringlein, Apfelküchlein, Hollerküchlein and some more.
If you like I can send you a copy of the original recipes of my mother's recipe book from 1955 or from my grandmother's recipe book from around 1920.
For Hawai-Toast we also roast the bread first. Then we put the remaining parts including one cherry on it and then make the cheese melt in the oven.
Many of the sweet dishes you mentioned were main dishes my mother prepared for lunch on Fridays. We weren't particularly strict roman-catholics but it was a tradition to avoid meat on Fridays. Hence lunch on Friday was often sweet and something to look forward to.
I'm from the north of Germany and live in the east now. In both places Schmalzbrot is known very well. Here in Saxony it's called "Fettbemme". But I'd expect it another way: Fry some onions in it and add the salt and maybe black pepper at the same time. On the top of the bread there should also be pickles. That's how I know it and I like it. I once made a vegan version with coconut oil and herbs in it. I liked that as well.
Die Fettbemme ist einfach ein super Snack❤
@@id0rather0not Jap! Ich habe gerade festgestellt, beim nochmaligen Lesen, dass ich "west" statt "east" geschrieben habe. 😄 Ob es im Westen auch Fettbemmen gibt, weiß ich nicht. 🙃
She would love Mohklesl too🤣
the comparison with the soaked bread in water is very apt haha
if you make it again, i suggest cooking the rice in the rice cooker first and then let it finish breaking down in the milk. That's how i do it because I'm lazy and don't want to watch the pot for three hours. My family is of swedish origin so we add butter, raisins, and also cinnamon and sugar! It's a favorite breakfast
The rice pudding needs a certain type of rice( Arborio) and it really needs to be cooked in the oven and it takes like 45min-1hr in the oven. Love From Scotland xxxx
