Title: Does anyone eat this often?
Post by: Reporter on February 10, 2022, 11:58:29 AM
I bought this for $10.00 at the Hmong flea market yesterday. I ate one spoonful of it.
Then I left it on the table for one night, and this is what it has become: slimy creams on top.  It wasn't like that when it was warm from the market.

that just grease, oil, and fat
they freeze up into solid like that when it get cold
reheat it and it will go back into liquid form

FYI don't pull it down your kitchen pipe..
it will clog it up

Lard will harden at room temp. Just microwave it.

Ok. I'll melt it back. But now that I know what it looks like, I don't know if I will eat the rest anymore.

Yeah. The ginger adds good flavor to it.

it's pretty much stew pulled pork..the Hmong version..my old lady use to make em all the time..she add ginger and other herbs...it's filling and good...but pork, as we all know is mostly fat and cholesterol.

In moderation should be okay for most.

Of course moderation is always key but it's been awhile since I've had that dish.  That dish, add zaub ntsuab and will be tastier.  That's a classic hmong dish.

Good thing I didn’t quickly finish the whole cup that first day.

Try one spoonful a year or every six months.

You would not like it if your taste buds had not been exposed to it since young. And yours haven’t because you grew up knowing padaek more like the Norwegians eating lutefisks more or the Japanese on sashimi. More like you wouldn’t like the taste of wheat bread, no matter how healthful it is.
