An original spin on the Banh mi with its typical pickled carrot, cucumbers and daikon here I used big noodles instead of the bread. Cilantro, mint and jalapeño to top it off and spice it up, laying bare the Banh-mi in a plate.
Yet another Ramen spin off! This one is very simple, always based on the homemade miso and shiitake broth.
This quick fix for thai-ish slash Vietnamese flavors is perfect for a summer light meal. Its all about the balance of the intense larb’s fragrance combined with naked cucumbers, buttercup lettuce wraps and herbs. Make a dipping sauce and drizzle with sesame oil.
So fragrant and tasty, don’t be afraid of the fish sauce it really makes the dish come together with the lime zest. I use ham because pineapple is a good digestive tool for pork. But crab meat, or crackling roasted pork or plain vegetarian would be good choices too. Bottom line is, fried rice is what you make to finish leftover and one of those dishes where you can throw in anything.
I like to throw the kitchin sink at my Ramen! Just kidding, but adding some chorizo and charred bok choy to a homemade miso and shiitake broth was one of these cooking with whats left in the fridge that ended up on repeat.
This is power food, farm fresh carrots and aspargus take flight combined with a raw walnut miso dressing.
Fresh summer noodle salad with juicy shrimps, pickled carrots, lots of cilantro and jalapeño.
I like to add all kind of stuff in my ramen. Here’s a new spin with salmon, potatoes and arugula.
When we do family barbecues we don’t mess around. Making Bún chả Hanoi Cha for 30 people is no big deal, since we all get to prepare it together.
Bliss to the palate. Very fragrant this salad will take you straight into summer. And maybe to Mexico with a little imagination.
This is a perfect snack quick fix for those cold winter days. Light yet warming and super healthy.
I like to give a twist to the honey sauce using vietnamese 4 spices : star anise, cloves, pepper and cinnamon. Also like to add some hotness to the potatoes using piment d’espelette.
When you live in NYC and don’t have a barbecue handy, its possible to make Bún chả in a pan. It works. Of course the charcoal flavor is missing, but it’s still a good fix for the craving.
Quick fix for the summer, these fresh Spring Rolls are great for a light meal in the heat.
This delicate flavor rich, intricate yet comforting, light but fulfilling sandwich will delight the adventurous palate. Made of homemade chips, sardines, cilantro and a tomato and onion confit wait… show don’t tell, did you try one yet?
