A Vietnamese Moment

My Indian roommate taught me this simple, homestyle egg curry. It doesn't require a ton of ingredients and pairs well with naan or paratha. Ingredients - 2 yellow onions (diced) - 2-3 diced tomatos  - hard boiled eggs (about 6)  - frozen peas - 1-2 dried chilies  - salt and pepper  - tumeric - sugar  - ginger, shredded  - 4-5 cloves of garlic, minced  Hardboil eggs 1. Add eggs to pot and bring to boil 2. Let sit for 10-15 minutes (about 13 minutes is good) 3. Remove eggs and place in ice bath. Peel eggs.  1. In a small pot, add cooking oil on medium heat add onions and cook until almost translucent, about 3-5 minutes.  2. In a small bowl, make a tumeric garlic ginger paste by mixing all 3 together. I used about 1 teaspoon of tumeric, you can use a little more or less. You can add a tiny bit of water if it looks dry.  3. Add tumeric paste to the pot and cook for additional 2-3 minutes. Add about 1/2...

HEO YEAH :) Get it?!! Thit heo kho chung is something I grew up with. It's very savory and the perfect dish for when I'm craving meat and eggs. This isn't my mom's recipe (I'll get that someday!). It's actually my cousin's - who I think is a better cook than my mom. She lives about two hours from us though so I don't see her often but when she visited, I asked her to show me how to make this. This is a multi-step dish that takes HOURS to make. If you have a lot of free time, or will be spending the day at home doing miscellanious things, then this is a great dish to make. It takes around 2-3 hours to make. Braised pork (or braised any type of meat) means to first sear or blanch the meat and then simmered in very little liquid on low heat over a long period of time. The outcome is very tender meat that falls off the bone or falls apart in your mouth. 3 lb pork meat (some with bone, a little fatty) 10 small red onion 4 cloves of ...

Here Danh - it's one of the recipe's you've been asking and asking me for. So here it is.... you're welcome!! I had to endure mom for 2 hours for this -___-; one hour to get the recipe and another hour for that 2 mile night walk she made me go on with her. You owe me. Anyway, this is a savory egg pancake that you can eat with rice. I know what you're thinking... eggs... as a meal?? But this is actually a pretty hearty entree. Not sure if it's considered a "pancake" or some type of Vietnamese omelette. Ingredients: 1 lb of minced pork 20 medium shrimp (peeled) 1 small bag of vermicelli (about 1.7 oz) 3 small red onions 1/2 large white onion fish sauce sugar pepper bot nem ga (chicken broth) 12-13 large eggs 1. So, let's start with prepping the vermicelli. You want to soften the vermicelli (thin-white noodles) by soaking/washing it in room temperature water (or cold, whatever) for about five minutes. Dry in a colander. With scissors,...
