Typical and oh so special family lunch at our grandma’s house. A unique collection of both northern and southern Vietnamese comfort dishes.
1 Rau Xao Bo - this used a special green that was more tender and fragrant than the ubiquitous rau muong.
2 Tom Rim - annatto braised shrimp and pork belly
3 Canh Rau Day - watergourd and jute soup seasoned with dried shrimp from Hue
4 Ca Phao - crispy, fermented eggplant with shrimp paste dip
5 Rice (not pictured)

Truly inspired by this sardine Yanagawa Nabe set from Nakajima restaurant in Shinjuku, Tokyo!
Crispy fried sardines simmered with eggs in a hotpot with broth and onions. Alongside the freshest sardine sashimi. And sardine katsu with mustard.
So simple, elegant, fresh, nutritious, and comforting. We’d like to celebrate more food like this, ones that fill our tastebuds and bodies with good health and warmth.

Sharing is caring. Especially when it comes to inspiring, legendary chicken sandwiches like these from @bakesalebetty.
Did someone say SPICY CRISPY CHICKEN BUN MI for late night service?

We’re so happy with all the recipes we continue to learn and refine in Vietnam and ultimately get the privilege of sharing with yall! Like this Bun Bo Hue!

Wow wow wow wow. We’ve had a million bowls of bun rieu but none compare to the simplicity of this one. Restraint and refinement are what make this one so deeeelicious! Beautiful broth, fresh 🍅, pork crab meatball with the perfect bite, fried tofu, and blood sausage.
We’d love to make this with some plump John’s Island tomatoes, Keegan Filion ground pork, Miss Paula shrimp, and a blood sausage if y’all are game!

Today, we learned a new recipe for crab eggrolls from a close family friend! These recipes (that we’re learning and relearning) are only found through oration between families and generations of cooks. So thankful that we get a chance to share a bit of this with y’all!
