@@waylonkenneth3956 ?

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.

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

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.

@@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.

There's no hmong cuisine @ tiki tak! Laab is laos national dish.

@@lancechanthirath2348 - 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.

@@lancechanthirath2348 - 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.

I have #justsaying

​@11x21 larb is from laos 🇱🇦, the dish is a lao national dishes and origin ..larb isn't even hmong to be gain with in between Chef yia is quite lost and confusing 😂😂😂

@sue vang he highly proud saying laab is hmong traditional food 5555 aka lao national dish.

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

Hey man there are just a few HMONG chefs known to outsiders...please stop attacking him.make your own version please

@@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.

Hahahah no comment

So HMONG also have crab mentality? You are pulling down the only rep you have!

@@AngAswang12 rep some fake foods, gtfo

@@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

@@benderbendingrodriguez2868 I’ve had so many style of Hmong and Lao laj, so you need to gtfo or gtfo of your backyard and try other style. Lol.

lol hater

Lmao and where's your dish at?!?! 🤔🤔🤣🤣🤣

I totally agree, dude should just flip burgers

😂 👍 yes fake duck larb 😂!!!

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.

Actually laab is a laos 🇱🇦 national dish and I am 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!
