heebie jeebies welcome back to day 28 of
our 30 days of healthy eating and living
series we're already at day 28 just two
days left but today I thought I'd end
our last haul with ranch 99 so many of
you guys enjoyed the hole that I did at
each Mart last week because I got so
many fun exotic fruits and I thought
Ranch 99 also carries a lot of different
items so let's get right on into that if
you guys want to see more fun videos I'm
not gonna stop doing videos after this
30-day series but I will be coming up
with other series so be sure to hit that
subscribe button below and don't forget
to give this video a thumbs up if you're
into Asian food let's go ahead and get
started with our produce so yesterday I
went to San Gabriel Valley with my mom
and Nate and air-sea thanks to one of
your recommendations we went to golden
deli I had one of the best noodle salads
it had coconut milk in it with Bay which
is shredded pork and then this like
shrimping and egg rolls
it was pretty delicious but right down
the road was a ranch 99 so I thought hey
let's stop by there and do a haul once I
got home though I found this article
about ranch 99 in San Jose
having transporting meat in a shopping
cart in a Costco shopping cart sadly
enough I used to live right by there and
I went to that Costco and I also have
visited that ranch 99 so I did not buy
any meat thankfully however I did buy
some fun exotic fruit and stuff so I got
some rabbit and I told you guys about
this last week when I shared the long
ends but rambutans are really different
they have let me open one up
they have this fun fuzzy exterior it
kind of feels like a sponge like you
know those sponges that you use to or
loofah actually yeah feels good but
inside but inside it reminds me of a
light sheet or even along in more like a
light sheet go because of the color and
then it's a little larger the seed
inside is not as small as the long end
or a lychee it's quite big let me bite
into it for you the fruit really sticks
to the seeds you kind of have to those
not on it a little bit but this is what
it looks like it's very sweet and it has
the same texture as along in and light
sheep I really like it this one was a
product of Vietnam
what's the Vietnamese name for this you
guys oh speaking of product of Vietnam
and Vietnamese did you guys know that I
finally have Vietnamese captions for all
of my newest videos one of my viewers
anta had suggested that I do Vietnamese
captions and she volunteered to do it so
thank you so much uncle for translating
all of our videos I hope you guys find
it helpful especially my Vietnamese
viewers back home next step is a star
apple also from Vietnam my mom was so
excited when she saw this she said it
was one of her favorite fruits growing
up it's called a star apple in English
but she said it's Jo soo I've never
heard of it before I've never tried this
before so I'm excited to break it open
my mom said that $7 or this was 671 $7
in Vietnam would get her like a boatload
of these things I mean I'm just happy
they have it available here in the US
oh she also gave me a fun fact that bees
are newly imported to America they just
started importing them maybe last month
so we're starting to see the first wave
of them in the stores let's see hey mom
dad used to look at the south gate
finola he looked at I'm not sure if
there's a right way to cut this but I'm
just gonna slice the top oh I see why
they call it a star Apple there's like a
star pattern in there it also has a very
floral scent smells really good all
right I'm gonna try one you guys I've
never had this before so tell me am I
supposed to be eating the outside of the
fruit or is it just inside because I
noticed that the inside is a lot more
translucent and softer but I'm just
gonna bite into this and you guys can
let me know the right way to eat this
[Music]
oh and I can see why my mom says it's
called Josa which is like Silla is milk
cuz as you eat it it has these like
milky things coming out it's kind of a
milky texture the juice is like opaque
white so that was really interesting the
flavor is really light and subtle I
don't know what else to compare it to
maybe like a cherimoya which also is
like another tropical fruit it's really
interesting if you guys ever see this at
the market pick one up and let me know
what you think all right moving on I got
some tropical fruits this I was so
excited to find a Hawaiian papaya
Hawaiian papayas are a little different
in that I feel like they're firmer I
don't know it just has more flavor let
me cut this one open for you guys uh
[Music]
it's also so fragrant the flesh inside
is more of a yellowish color versus that
pinkish red color that you find at the
grocery store the flesh is also kind of
firm when I went to Hawaii last year for
my baby moon I had a papaya almost every
day I know some of you guys said papaya
induces birth but I did not give birth
right away after eating papaya I asked
the doctors afterwards and she said it's
totally fine you would have to eat like
ten pounds before it does that so it's
totally safe but again check with your
doctor if you guys aren't pregnant and
if you want to eat papaya
ah so good I was so excited to find this
and I will probably just scoop the seeds
out and eat it with the spoon directly
from the the papaya bowl next up our
champagne mangoes I always love
champagne mangoes because I find them a
lot sweeter than your typical red mango
they're also smaller and they're just
easier to enjoy or if you're making
desserts with these are the ones that I
would go for have you guys ever tried
these before they're pretty typical and
can be found at many grocery stores next
up is a pomelo
so this pomelo brings back so many
childhood memories I grew up with a
prized pomelo tree that it was my
parents like bread and butter not really
bread and butter but it was like their
prized fruit tree where every that which
is the Lunar New Year they would they
would gift friends and family with the
pomelo but the leaves and the stem would
be attached because it makes it a lot
more special and everybody loved it so
much because the inside was so sweet and
it's pink let me open one up for you
guys so this isn't your typical
grapefruit where it's like thin and you
scrape it out with the spoon the skin is
very very thick inside is kind of spongy
see it's like spongy and you have to cut
it like this and peel it
my mom and grandma used to get a bunch
of these grapefruits from the tree and
they would sit there or let me like an
hour
peeling grapefruit slices for us to eat
just because doing one take so much work
that they just did a bunch so that we
can eat it for a little a few days I got
some of that blue marker on me I don't
know why they had blue marker but the
way to open this is from the bottom
[Music]
isn't it pretty
and then you would just peel it back and
each slice would come out like that so
good and it's very mild I need to wash
my hands when I used to have to peel
this as a kid mine would come out all
broken like this not much has changed
but my grandma and mom would be able to
get like a whole piece out like this
whole thing will come out in one piece
and I have no idea how they did that
because it's so hard to peel let's give
it a try it doesn't taste like your
typical sour grape fruit it's sweet
citrusy just very refreshing miss my dad
eating this okay
moving on I got frozen durian I only buy
this when my mom is in town and if we go
to an Asian market she'll ask to buy
this and share it with me because she
lives with my sister and my sister does
not allow her to bring durian into the
house she thought gas was leaking or
something from the smell but it ended up
being during this so this stuff is
potent you either love it or you hate it
I personally love it I feel like it
tastes like ice cream the consistency
and texture is like a very delicious
with frozen this one doesn't have any
seeds so it's easier to eat you don't
have to peel the whole fruit and you can
just eat like one or two slices and be
good with it team durian okay next up I
got some Thai basil I have been craving
Thai chicken basil so I am gonna be
making this next week for dinner
with brown rice a little bit of red bell
peppers some chicken ground chicken or
turkey that's perfect and then a
kombucha squash
have you guys ever had a kabocha squash
it has the texture of a pumpkin and it's
so delicious my mom actually taught me
yesterday to get a good Kubota that has
lots of flavor you want to get one that
it's like curved up like this and goes
down there's a lot that kind of slopes
down like that and she said that those
are no good they don't have as much
flavor
um I don't know I never really picked
one out before but she told me to try
this and so I will let you guys know I
bought this because I puree it for air
see and now I'm letting her just grab it
and it's soft enough when you cook it so
that I'm not afraid of her choking too
much so I'll cut them into small pieces
and she'll just kind of gnaw on it it's
really cute and last piece of produce is
this large taro that they've cut up and
peeled for me usually when you go to the
Asian market the taro like this they're
this Bay and I have no business eating
taro the size of a box so I was really
excited to find them all cut up like
this and my mom is in town so she said
that she would make jam which is a like
a Vietnamese dessert because she bought
some glutinous rice and we have some
other stuff so she's going to teach me
how to make
and a few other goodies speaking of
glutinous rice she popped this honking
food bag so this is basically used to
make Asian desserts have you guys ever
had what do you call it the mango
pudding at Thai restaurants is it a
mango pudding coconut rice mango coconut
right it's like a coconut rice mango
dish I should get the name straightened
out before I make it but anyways that's
why I bought the mangoes here and you
just put like coconut sauce with it and
it's so delicious
so we're gonna be making that and then
she's also gonna be making soy dal foam
which is um it's like steamed glutinous
rice with peanuts
she bought full peanuts and then you
just cooked them together and you steam
them I'm actually gonna experiment with
her and make it in the instant pot I
love when my mom visits because I
learned how to make all these different
things the last time she was here she
showed me how to make the buleria which
I showed you guys and then she also
showed me how to make GA Suen ook which
is like Vietnamese mochi dessert so
inside there's like mung beans and
onions I know it sounds weird but then
outside you enjoy it with a ginger syrup
which is really interesting between like
the sweet and salty combination one day
I will show it to you guys
speaking of ginger syrup I forgot to
grab one more thing from the fridge we
got this silken tofu and ginger syrup
dessert this is her favorite dessert
I'll open it up for you guys if you've
ever been to dim sum this is what they
serve at the end they'll cart it around
but you get your ginger syrup they just
steep this with sugar water for like
hours let it boil cook it extract all
the ginger flavor and spiciness out and
then you just spoon a little bit on top
of this tofu this isn't the same as you
buying a silky tofu from the box it's
just cooked a little bit differently
it's sweeter I think and it's pretty
delicious I don't it's not my favorite
but my mom loves this stuff so I thought
I would hurt
moving on we only have a few things left
I was excited to find this Hong Kong
style daikon cake every time I go to dim
sum I would order like the turnip cake
or daikon or taro cake usually I would
just eat it with soy sauce but sometimes
at the restaurants they would pan fry it
crack an egg on top let it cook and eat
it that way I'm gonna be eating this for
lunch
there's rice flour wheat starch potato
starch pork sausage salt shrimp and
that's it pretty simple let's see what
else this I got this red bean paste just
so I could start experimenting so I only
have two days left of this 30 days of
healthy eating the living series so now
I start I have to kind of start
experimenting with other stuff that is
difficult for the channel this is red
bean paste and what I want to do with it
is make daifuku which is the Japanese
strawberry mochi you know where they
case the strawberry a fresh strawberry
with this pace and then wrap it with the
mochi wrapper
or I also want to stuff it in steamed
bun I could have some flour and some
yeast that I want to experiment to make
more dim sum stuff that would be so fun
if I did like a dim sum series I have to
learn how to make everything first so
this is why I bought it for testing last
but not least I just bought some sauces
this is big soy sauce it has a
consistency of molasses and there's
actually a molasses in here but it's
mixed with soy sauce so it just has a
really deep flavor and I use this for
marinade for my Vietnamese pit new which
is grilled pork but it adds a lot of
depth of flavor in there and I ran out
so I had to buy more same with this boy
stur sauce I only get this label of
oyster sauce if I'm at the grocery store
an American one and they have just like
the green
I think it's gluten free one I'll buy
that and that's decent too but I only
like this label right here by Lee Kum
Kee they have several different ones
with the Panda on there but I just feel
like this one isn't as salty it's not
salt Laden it has a lot more oysters
flavor so I ever highly recommend this
one alright guys that does it for our
last haul of a series I hope you guys
found the fruits today interesting I do
have to say that ranch 99 is a difficult
place to be healthier to find healthy
stuff of course I know they have lots of
stuff there but I already have a lot of
things at home and I don't buy meat
there because of said occurrence earlier
but they have really fun exotic fruits
and vegetables that if you are trying to
kind of broaden her your horizons
go check it up anyways thank you so much
for watching I
only have two more days tomorrow I have
a fun healthy breakfast pizza video that
I am excited to share so be sure to turn
it off that and I will see you tomorrow
bye
