Mrs. No Limit’s Birthday requested a big pot of her favorite noodle soup, Bún Riêu, Vietnamese Crab Vermicelli Noodle Soup, to celebrate her big day with her family. I put extra love in this pot this year, and it may have been the best pot of Bún Riêu I’ve made for her. My Riêu meatballs... Continue Reading →
I normally make my pork broth with onion, ginger, and daikon, but today was “make a broth with whatever veggies I had in my fridge” day and I made it with onion, ginger, carrots, celery, and fuji apples, and made Súp Nui Sườn Heo, Vietnamese Macaroni Soup with Pork Ribs. I added pork/shrimp meatballs inspired... Continue Reading →
When I was a kid, my parents took us to the Cao Dai Temple in Riverside every other Sunday and I always remember looking forward to eating the Canh Chua Chay, Vietnamese Vegetarian Sweet and Sour Soup, every time we visited. Canh Chua Chay is one of the first vegetarian/vegan dishes I fell in love... Continue Reading →
Canh Khoai Mỡ is an amazing, creamy, and comforting vietnamese soup made with yampi root also known as purple yam. This starchy and kinda slimy root vegetable makes the soup super delicious when cooked down and thickened and you can still taste bits of tender Khoai Mỡ in every bite. The herbaceous chopped rice paddy... Continue Reading →
During the summer, Mom’s friend always hooks it up with fresh veggies and herbs from her garden. One of my favorite things I will never say no to accepting is opo squash. I love making Canh Bầu with it for the girls. Opo Squash, bầu, is super nutritious and delicious. If you’ve never tasted it,... Continue Reading →

I love the spicy and pungent broth, tender and delicious proteins, and soft and delicate tofu in the bubbling hot spicy stew. The recipe is adapted from @maangchi version. I even picked up some Korean earthenware bowls at a local Restaurant Supply store... Continue Reading →
As a busy working dad, I don't usually have 6-8 hours to make Bún Bò Huế the normal way so decided to pick up the ingredients and make it in the Instant Pot. No lie, it still took about 2-3 hours including prep work, but still, more than half the normal time was shaved by... Continue Reading →
Growing up in a Vietnamese household, family dinner time was really important in my family. No matter how busy my parents were from work, (even when they worked multiple jobs), they always found time to cook up delicious Vietnamese home-cooked meals for my siblings and me. One of my favorite family-style meals included Canh Chua... Continue Reading →
Quoc Viet Foods recently hooked me up with Pork Flavored Soup Base. My family and I have been using their other soup bases for years and I was super excited to try it out this new soup base and it surely did not disappoint. Lately, I've been a fan of making Bún Riêu with pork... Continue Reading →
Every time I eat canh, I think back on some of the best childhood food memories I have of mom cooking my favorite family-style meals for dinner. The traditional family-style meals we ate always included at least one savory braised protein dish, a bowl of hearty green canh, and a pot of freshly cooked steamed... Continue Reading →
