Recipes that include fish sauce

Vietnamese Fish Sauce Wings

Wednesday, April 2, 2014

For the last few months, my brain cells were being lost to lack-of-sleep so needless to say, having a newborn around is not one’s most creative time. Luckily, we have thousands of recipes to fall back on. I also look for new recipes to try, ones that take less time to make! Since Remi was born (he’s four-and-a-half months already!), this is the best recipe I’ve tried: Vietnamese Fish Sauce Wings! Holy cow, are these delicious. Not surprisingly, it’s from the owner of the famous Thai restaurant, Pok Pok, in Portland. I adapted the recipe to suit my tastes and stuck with his super easy three ingredient marinade, just fish sauce, sugar, and garlic. It’s so simple, yet unbelievably good. It’s pure genius!

Make Chicken Soup, Not War

Thursday, January 21, 2010

I’ve been working on this post since the beginning of winter, when I first started thinking about chicken soups. The variety of chicken soups across so many cultures is just so interesting to me. They are all different, yet share that common bond, the ability to comfort anyone, and make each of us think of home.

There isn’t anything scientific in the post. I did not set out to prove or disprove anything, or even test any theories. This is not about one being better than the others. I just wanted to try several different recipes and methods, just to take notice and appreciate what each had to offer, and each one did have something special to offer. I will make all of these again, and I hope this post is useful for you each and every winter.

Baby Back Ribs in Vietnamese Caramel Sauce

Tuesday, October 27, 2009

Why can’t looking for apartments be as easy as looking for recipes? We’ve been looking for a place to move to, on and off, for two years now, with no end in sight. When I look for recipes, I find what I need most of the time. The two processes are actually quite similar. Step 1: narrow down search by criteria. Step 2: Try it out. This is where they start to diverge and force a completely different step 3, and that’s where apartment hunting becomes my least favorite activity now.

Fresh Sriracha

Sunday, August 30, 2009

This Weekend Shout-out goes to Todd and Diane, of White on Rice Couple, for posting a recipe for sriracha style hot sauce! Make your own sriracha? Yea! As much as I try to make everything, it never even occurred to me to make sriracha. My handy squeeze bottle is always on the left fridge door, and I grew up with that rooster, so I’ve never questioned it. I am flabbergasted by the freshness and new life this sauce takes on. The heat of the chilies perk up the sweetness of the tomatoes, which highlights the rich umami of fish sauce. (Diane, you are so right about the fish sauce.) What genius! It’s as usable as ketchup (put it on my burger last night and my omelet this morning) but so much more sophisticated and twisted, almost evil. I think I’m falling into a mean addiction. I shouldn’t be surprised because nearly everything freshly home-made is better but really, when you didn’t think sriracha could get any better….

Banh Mi Burgers

Wednesday, June 10, 2009

Since I made the Carrot and Daikon Slaw, I’ve been anticipating a Banh Mi Sandwich, but when I started making dinner, I had a wild craving for some juicy red meat. The compromise was a Bahn Mi Burger. There’s no way that could be bad right? Not only was it not bad, Lon and I gobbled it down, barely coming up for air, and then agreed to make it again soon. We also contemplated opening a little shop that only sold Banh Mi Burgers and taro fries. Yes, we did have it with taro fries. It was perfect.
