Recipe: Bánh mì thịt nướng (Vietnamese sandwich with grilled pork chop)

bánh mìthịt nướng (Vietnamese sandwich with grilled pork chop) is my favorite kind of sandwich. It was created in Vietnam during French colonial rule, and has influences from both cultures. The sandwich is typically made with French baguette and pâté, with different variants of Vietnamese meats and ingredients as the filling. The banh mi ‘thit nuong’ (grilled pork… Continue reading Recipe: Bánh mì thịt nướng (Vietnamese sandwich with grilled pork chop)

Recipe: Vietnamese THỊT NƯỚNG (CARAMELIZED GRILLED PORK)

The traditional way of making thit nuong is to cut the meat into 2-3 inch strips, then marinade the meat and grill it in between two wire baskets over a charcoal grill. The marinade consists of caramelized sugar syrup (nuoc mau) and fish sauce, two cooking essentials in the Vietnamese kitchen. The fish sauce is… Continue reading Recipe: Vietnamese THỊT NƯỚNG (CARAMELIZED GRILLED PORK)

Recipe: Do Chua – Vietnamese pickled daikon and carrots

As a regular accouterment of Vietnamese cuisine, pickled daikon and carrots are great as a little side nibble with your rice and meat dishes or as an addition to your salad. The crunchy texture, and sweet and sour taste adds that extra little touch to your meal. You might have tried a Vietnamese ‘banh mi’… Continue reading Recipe: Do Chua – Vietnamese pickled daikon and carrots

Recipe: Danish Rugbrød (rye bread)

When I first moved to New York, I realized how much I missed Danish bread. It was kind of frightening to me that store bought bread would not get moldy for more than a month, whereas bread in Denmark would typically only last 4 to 5 days. This is the trade off in convenience with… Continue reading Recipe: Danish Rugbrød (rye bread)

Recipe: Coconut Chicken Curry

With colder weather around the corner, hot meals are on my mind. I recently whipped up this hot spicy coconut chicken curry dish when my neighbor stopped by with her son to get out of the blowing wind and cold rain. It is perfect for a cozy night indoors.

Recipe: Healthy Banana Pancakes

My little boy had a long picky eating period and right until he turned one he completely denied using his own fingers to eat and he only wanted to eat from a spoon. When he started walking just a week after his first birthday he decided to be independent and wanted to do everything himself. It was a game… Continue reading Recipe: Healthy Banana Pancakes

I have served these appetizers to friends a few times before dinner, and I can tell you they were a hit. They pair especially well with a little chilled sparkling or white wine.

Recipe: Mama’s Sick Soup – Vietnamese Chao

Some people eat chicken soup when they are sick. But growing up, whenever I was sick my mom use to make chao, a Vietnamese rice soup. I remembered the chao recipe awhile back when my husband got really sick. Aside from making him feel better, he really loved the soup. Now every time he’s sick he… Continue reading Recipe: Mama’s Sick Soup – Vietnamese Chao

Recipe: Mushroom and Leek Frittata

I have never been a big lover of scrambled eggs – they are usually too plain for me. So when I cook eggs, I make frittatas, which are easy to make and have a wonderful flavor. A frittata is perfect to make when you have friends over for brunch, which I quite often do. Stick… Continue reading Recipe: Mushroom and Leek Frittata
