ALL RECIPES & POSTS
Vietnamese Street Corn- “Bap Nuong” Recipe
Nothing says summer like grilled corn and to add some Vietnamese flair, I slathered it in a seasoned mayo cream and garnished it with mỡ hành, a popular Vietnamese relish made by lightly frying scallions in oil aka “scallion fat”, fresh cilantro, black pepper, and a dusting of parmesan cheese and smoked paprika.
Vietnamese Okra- “Dau Bap” recipe
I just picked up my Asian CSA yesterday and I was so excited to see okra on the list! Okra, aka lady fingers, contain pods that are “mucilaginous,” which results in a super slimy texture when cooked.
This “mucilage” or slime is a debatable matter. Some folks either enjoy this gooey texture and others just hate it for that same reason.

Sautéed Garlic Soy Beansprouts With Tatsoi/Chrysanthemum
Has anyone else cook with these before?
Tatsoi is an Asian variety of Brassica rapa grown for greens and is also called “tat choy”, which sounds like and is related to it’s sister greens, Bok Choy.
I like cooking bok choy with bean sprouts so I used the same recipe here. Tatsoi greens along with garlic and bean sprouts are sautéed in a flavorful ginger soy sauce.
“Dua Mon”- Vietnamese Pickled Dried Daikon and Carrots
Dưa món is simply translated as dried vegetables preserved in fish sauce.
