Today's recipe is one of my brother's favorite dish to enjoy when fresh herbs are in season. In Hmong Leeg dialect, we call this dish Nqaj Qab Xwv [Oven Steamed Herb Chicken Wrapped in Banana Leaves]; which refers to as a type of meat that is slowed cooked or braised. In this case we are using chicken. In the Hmong culture, you can see others making it with deer, beef, pork, fish, or wild squirrel and with all kinds of herbs/spices. Today, I'll show you a very simple version. It's best when eaten during camping season, herb season, fishing season or any time of the year.
You can also see this dish being made in the Lao culture called Mok Pa which is the fish version. They use other herbs/spices, ground up soaked sticky rice, and padaek. Which is just as amazing. The one I'm showing you today is very simple and one that my mom would make for us when herbs are in season. Simple but packed full of aromatics and flavor. This is a type of dish tha
Happy Cooking!

My name is Cindy Her and I have been cooking and baking for quite a long time now! Hmong food culture and tradition is dear to my heart and I wanted to keep our roots intact somewhere. So this is why I started this channel to keep me and you connected to the Hmong culture. I hope you all learn a little bit about the Hmong food culture and try out these recipes! As always, happy cooking :)

Hi, where do you live? Your yard look so peaceful. I am in Minnesota. I luv your garden.
Can you show us how you make your pho?
Looks so good with sticky rice. How do you guys keep your banana plant stay alive up north?
Cover the roots well during winter so they stay alive and uncover during spring.

Hi! :D How did you make the soup in this video?
What zone are you in? Do you need to do bring your banana plant inside? How do you care for it?
Can you tell us something with ‘Noni’ fruits’?
What's the benefits to use banana leaf?
Do you think I could make this in a rice cooker?
I'd give it a try. I'm not sure if it will cook it all the way though.
Do you have a cook book available?
Not yet. In the future hopefully 🙂
Nice video ! May I ask why does it take 2 hours to cook？ minced chicken should be cooked through fairly quick. Thanks !
my guess is because it’s steamed. or to really bring out the nutrients of the herbs maybe both
@@ayee_randal3731 yes to both!
Since we’re steaming it, it takes longer. But also to enhance the flavor more by breaking down the herbs and chicken. :)
@@CHerCreations much love 🖤🖤🖤
