#lifestyle Củ hủ Khóm là đặc sản thuộc dạng hiếm có khó tìm. Vì người dân vùng trồng khóm cũng chỉ được thưởng thức đặc sản này mỗi năm 1 vài lần vào mùa phá khóm(khóm sau 2-3 năm sẽ phá bỏ và trồng lứa mới, khi ấy khóm cây nhiều, người dân mới lấy củ hủ về ăn). Nếu đến chơi nhà một người dân nơi đây, phải quý dữ lắm chủ nhà mới phá lệ đốn khóm lấy củ hủ đãi bạn.
Củ hủ khóm chế biến được rất nhiều món ăn khác nhau, nào là củ hủ ngâm chua, làm gỏi, bánh xèo, củ hủ hầm giò heo, củ hủ xào thịt bò.... Kể thôi mà tui đã thèm muốn xĩu. Củ hủ khóm mùi thanh như mía lau, ngọt giòn và hơi đắng nhẹ nơi đầu lưỡi, nhưng chính cái vị nhẫn nhẫn này lại làm tui thèm muốn chết.
Hôm nay Khoai tui có mặt ở làng khóm Cầu Đúc tỉnh Hậu Giang và may mắn được thưởng thức những món ăn từ củ hủ khóm nơi đây. Một chút xíu chia sẻ đến mọi người, mọi người xem clip vui nha, có dịp ghé Cầu Đúc Hậu Giang thì nhớ ghé qua ăn thử.
__ Mình là Khoai. Thích du lịch và ăn uống.
Hi, everyone. I'm Khoai. Welcome to Khoai Lang Thang channel
Do you see what is behind me?
It's a very large pineapple field
And I'm in Hoa Tien commune, Vy Thanh city, Hau Giang province
I'm walking on a monkey bridge
Today, I'll have a meal
to pick the old pineapples and cook them into dishes in this place
It's a large area specializing in famous pineapples in the Western region
People often call it as Cau Duc pineapple
This place is located along Cai Lon river
And it's about 10-15 km from Vy Thanh city
There are 8 pineapples growers in every 10 houses
from one generation to another
It's called Cau Duc pineapples because in the past, there was a concrete bridge along Cai Lon river
People often brought pineapples there to focus on selling and moving to other places
Gradually, the name Cau Duc pineapples was born
Next to me is Mr. Duong
He's preparing to pick the old pineapples
How big should I pick? Or just pick like this?
If you pick the big one, it will be more delicious
Because this one has no big pineapples
Yes
If you pick it gently, it will come out
It means that these are the small and even pineapples on the ripe pineapples, right?
No, these are the unripe pineapples
Yes, these are the small pineapples
Yes
This jar is a bit small
Because normally, when the season comes, there will be many big pineapples
Many big pineapples
Yes
This one is not ripe yet
This is the core of the pineapples
Or we call it Cau Duc pineapples when Mr. Duong cut it
It smells so good. It smells like sugarcane
It has a light taste. When we eat it, it will have a light taste
Very fragrant
Let me introduce to you. This is Mrs. Diem, Mr. Duong's wife
She is cutting the small Cau Duc pineapples
to soak with salt and then cook it into a dish
She is cutting it like cutting a coconut or bamboo shoot
Normally, do you sell Cau Duc pineapples?
Or do you just cut it at home?
Normally, you don't eat it at home, do you?
Do you remove the core?
Yes, we have to remove the core and eat it
After cutting it, she will put salt in it
and soak the pineapples in salt to reduce the bitter taste
Normally, we only eat Cau Duc pineapples
We don't eat pineapple
I think everyone likes to eat this dish
It's a specialty
I've just eaten it for the first time, but I don't feel like eating it
But when you crave for it, you may not have it yet
That's right
How long do you soak it to reduce the bitter taste?
Half an hour
It smells so good
It smells exactly like bamboo shoots
At first, when I picked it up, I smelled it
It smelled like old-fashioned bamboo shoots
But now, when I cut it, it smells like bamboo shoots
Vy, don't you go?
Mr. Binh is taking me to the pineapple field to pick the pineapples
to deliver to Thuong Lai
Normally, next to a house in the pineapple field
there will be a boat
that will go straight to the field
to pick the pineapples on the boat
and deliver to the house
Every time we go to pick the pineapples
we will go against the boat
The pineapples will be picked and thrown into the river
then the boat will pick them up and deliver them to Thuong Lai
Now, Mr. Duong has a lot of pineapples
These pineapples are still a bit green
It will be ripe in 2 months
Do we need to cover it with a white cloth?
Are you afraid that it will be moldy, Mr. Duong?
No, we just cover it with a white cloth
If it is straight like this, it will be less sunny, right?
Oh, no. This is a 4-year-old pineapple that hasn't fallen yet
When it is ripe, they just let it fall into the river
and when they come back, they will pick it up and bring it to the river
I think we need gloves
When we pick the pineapples, we will take all the small trees
and then we will pick them up later
Although we throw the stone in the same way, there will be pineapples in front and behind, right?
Do you see the pineapples are small compared to the pineapples around?
People here will sell those pineapples
so that people can go to Saigon or other places
to use the pineapples to make ice cream
How much is an ice cream pineapple?
It depends on the price
Oh, it's more than 1,000 vnd per one
And this big pineapple, the price is dropping, so it's about 4,000-5,000 vnd per one
Normally, the price is 8,000-9,000 vnd per one
As you can see here, the soil is yellowish
It means that the more yellowish the soil is, the sweeter the pineapples
Do you remember when I went to Tac Cau?
I told you that the soil is yellowish
It's like this
It's damaged below, so it will die gradually
Normally, the leaves of the pineapples have thorns
So when we pick the pineapples, we must have a very thick glove
to prevent the thorns from stabbing
This piece is just finished
We break it and start to leave the small pineapples to be planted again
The pineapples will be planted again every 2-3 years
Every 2-3 years, we break it, right?
Yes
After 2-3 years, the soil will be hard and the pineapples will not bear fruit
So the people have to break it and plant it again
Normally, how many months does it take for an ice cream tree to ripen?
4 months and a half
4 months and a half is when we pour the ice cream to stimulate it to bloom
4 months and a half is when it starts to ripen
This whole area is called Cau Duc Pineapple
It's called Cau Duc Pineapple because in the past, there were a lot of pineapples here
and there was a Cau Duc
So people often gathered the pineapples there
It's a place to sell and transport pineapples
So gradually, people call it Cau Duc Pineapple
Now, people have pushed the pineapple boat inside
and will gather the pineapples in front of the house
Later, there will be a caravan to gather the pineapples
From morning to now, we have picked almost 1,000 pineapples
This is the main pineapple, and the boat was a bit green
Because of the coconut season, they asked for about 100 green pineapples
When the pineapples come in here, people will start to cut the branches
and cut the roots
Just take the pineapples and the pineapples
These trees can be planted, right?
Yes, they can be planted
It's more delicious than corn
You can see that the round pineapples like this
and the eyes are open evenly like this
It will be sweeter and crunchier than the long ones like this
People usually call the special pineapples like this
Tu Bi Pineapple
It's called Banh Xe Pineapple
But here, Mr. Binh has called it Banh Xe Pineapple
There
The important thing is whether the eyes are open or not
But the yellow or green one is not very important
Sometimes, the green one is sweeter than the yellow one
but the eyes are not open
These are the ripe pineapples
that Mr. Duong has just cut
I will try it, the color is very beautiful
Cau Duc Pineapple is very famous
It is one of the famous pineapple growing areas in the West
In the West, there are some areas
For example, I made a clip about Tac Cau Pineapple
There are pineapples in Long An and Cau Duc Pineapple
Cau Duc Pineapple is very special
It has the original look of Cau Duc Pineapple
It is very sweet and the core in the middle is not rough
The ripe pineapples are very sweet and crunchy
This bowl of salt is from the boy who was here
He is only in the 8th grade, but he is very good
I'm waiting for Mrs. Ban Thanh to pass by
She is eating vegetables because she is making Banh Xeo
but there is still no scallion to put in
As long as she passes by, there will be food for lunch
Now I will sit and eat pineapple
and drink pineapple juice
I will go to the kitchen to see if there is anything to help
There will be some related dishes to eat with pineapple
Now I will follow Mr. Binh
Mr. Binh is looking for a pineapple
Oh, is it okay to eat like this?
Yes
Do you think it should be younger?
As long as it is not ripe
Yes, as long as it is not ripe
Mr. Binh is picking a young pineapple
But it is delicious, right?
Yes
Maybe we only eat young pineapples here, right?
Normally, the people here don't know
It's easy
Easy?
Yes
Dig deep
The people who grow pineapples rarely dig deep
Because it takes a long time to work
There are so many pineapples here
So just eat, dig deep and eat
There, a young pineapple is done
White color, right?
White
Yes
Haven't eaten yet?
I haven't eaten yet because there is no young pineapples to eat
There is no young pineapples to eat
Young pineapples are exported

It just has a slightly sour taste
This is the first time I eat young pineapples
Oh, this is delicious

Yes
In this way, I will go to find young pineapples to buy and eat

I don't know where to buy young pineapples
but you can eat 4-5 pineapples
In the past, I thought that young pineapples would be very sour
But in fact, it is...
It is crunchy and not sour
Ms. Diem is stir-frying young pineapples
This is minced meat
In general, how to cook bamboo shoots, it will be cooked like this
It's like a combination of bamboo shoots and young pineapples
You can make salad or eat it like young pineapples
or stew it like bamboo shoots
Over there is a pot of...
...water
for stewing pork trotters
Here, this is the pork trotters that she has taken out
And now I will...
...put the young pineapples in it to...
...cook it
This is cooked very quickly, right?
Cook for 15 minutes
Because we have already blanched it
And we can eat it raw
Yes, you can eat it raw
So we just cook it to make it less bitter
Oh, is it too much?
Because eating this is delicious
I put a lot
You put a lot to make it more delicious
It's strange to eat a lot
This is a very big pot of soup
Not to mention there is a pot of...

Season with a little salt

Do you season the filling just right, sister?
Add a little sugar
Yes
To make it less sticky

But these are sticky, so you will remember when you eat
If it's too loose, it won't stick

In the wood stove
Ah, in the wood stove
Put the pig's trotters on and it will look different
This is grilled pig's trotters
This is the skin
We burn it
