Vietnamese Coffee- “ca phe sua da” recipe
Easily misinterpreted as “cafe soda”, it’s actually “ca phe sua da”, where “da” is translated as ice (= Vietnamese iced milk coffee).
Vietnamese coffee (Aka “cà phê sữa nóng” (hot), or “cà phê sua dá” (iced)) is known for its extra caffeine kick and in Vietnam street coffee stalls use simple aluminum drip filters for this slow drip coffee favorite! I usually don’t drink coffee but since this is on the sweeter side, it’s definitely my go to coffee when I need my caffeine fix 😍
Vietnamese Crispy Noodles With Stir Fried Shrimp and Veggies- “Mi Xao Tom” Recipe + Video
Crispy “birds nest” aka Vietnamese crispy noodle with stir fried shrimp and vegetables.
This is a relatively easy dish but it requires a lot of prep work. I like my noodles very crispy and vegetables also has to be firm with a crisp. I DESPISE mushy noodles & veggies, and over cooked shrimp especially in stir fried recipes. So the best way for everything in your mi xao to be nice and crisp is to cook EVERYTHING separately.

Sriracha “Krout-Chi”-Sauerkrout recipe & Video Tutorial
Sauerkraut is super easy to make and it’s only two ingredients, cabbage and salt!

My Favorite Vietnamese Dipping Sauces and Condiments
Whenever you go to an authentic Vietnamese restaurant they always have a plethora of side dipping sauces like a fish dipping sauce (nuoc mam cham), scallion oil (mo hanh), fermented mustard greens (du chua) or even vegetarian dipping sauces if you’re lucky! They compliment, and are a staple in creating many Vietnamese dishes. Below are a few of my favorite staples which you’ll see served with many of my concoctions to follow!
Taro soup- Canh Khoai Môn Recipe- Dad’s Recipe
This taro soup is a homestyle comfort food that dad used to cook all the time at home when we were kids. Typically at our dinner table there was almost always a soup to accompany our meat/fish dish. This soup was always one of my favorites because of the soft, sweet, and unique taste and texture of the taro potatoes.
“Banh Cam”- Vietnamese Sesame Balls
Bánh cam or bánh rán in Vietnamese is one of the most famous and beloved Vietnamese desserts.
This Tet/New Year’s special is definitely on the richer side being that it is deep fried. The outer shell is comprised of a glutinous rice wrapped with sesame seeds which makes it crispy and chewy and the inside is deliciously moist filled with sweet mung beans & coconut flakes.
