      😂 whenever I'm in a hurry for a quick meal I have a pack of noodles, you know, the crappy kind that costs 30-50 cents, however... I pre-crunch all noodle, still in packet, into rice size basically even b4 opening 😂😂 I'm always mentally suffering from the imagined upset screams in Italian and every asian language at my heretic behaviour. Anyway, then from freezer I grab a small portions of (cooked) meat I have frozen in small flat batches. So, dump the noodies, meat, included spice into piping hot water and just let it sit for 3-4 minutes. Depending on amount of meat you might want to stick it in the microwave a few secs to compensate for frozen meat stealing all heat.

      Even Vietnamese people don't eat "Vietnamese food that foreigners have in mind" every day. For example, Pho, Banh Mi, Banh Xeo,...
      In our country, those dishes are mostly for breakfast, with some dishes that can be for dinner when the whole family wants to go out to eat.

    I'm German, and I actually only eat savoury pancakes. I make them with grated carrot mixed into the batter, it makes them really fluffy, and then I eat them with a spicy zucchini and onion sauce and some cheese.

      @@MJBpeace I don't really do it by receipe, I just sort of freestyle it, so I can't share any exact measurements. But generally I use either one egg per person or when it's for several people two eggs per three people. I grate about half a carrot per egg (depending on the size of the carrot, you kinda need to figure this out for yourself) and mix it with the egg. Then I mix in milk (only a little bit, the carrots already add moisture) and flour until I like the consistency. It should be a little thicker than normal pancake batter because of the carrots, but still liquidy enough that you can pour it. Then you just need to add some salt.
      For the sauce I just dice a small onion and about half a zucchini (of course use more if you're cooking for more people, this is for one person) and put the onion in a pan with some oil, let it get some colour, then add the zucchini, stir it every now and then for a while (sorry I can't be more specific, I don't time it), when it's almost done I like to add a bit of garlic. Then I add some cream into the pan, add salt, pepper, chili powder, other spices if I feel like it. When the cream is starting to reduce, take it off the stove. Then I make the pancake, just like a normal pancake. It might take a little longer, depending on how thick the batter is. I always flip it as soon as it's not liquid anymore, the other side won't take as long as the first. When it's done, put some cheese on it, put the sauce on top, fold it, enjoy! I don't always use zucchini, I often just use whatever vegetables I have left over, but I like zucchini the most, I think they work well with the carrots. You can also grate the zucchini and use it instead of the carrot. The zucchini pancake I like to eat with mushrooms, but you can pair it with whatever you like.
      Hope this was helpful, and please tell me how it turned out if you try it!

    • @tildessmoo
      @tildessmoo Před 4 měsíci +10

      It really is, though. They're both used to add some umami and salt and general depth of flavor all at once. See also soy sauce for China and everyone with historical Chinese influence, including Korea and Japan (including variations like kecap manis in Indonesia and Malaysia), also dashi and miso for Japan and myeolchi mul and doenjang for Korea, garum for ancient Rome, passata for (modern) Italy (tomato has a lot of glutamate!), brown sauce in the UK, and ketchup in the US. (Yes, it really does serve a real culinary purpose, though US and even UK cuisine aren't as unified even as other countries with wide regional variations, so there's lots of alternatives, such as Worcestershire, barbecue sauce, and fermented hot sauce). And lots of other things for other areas, of course, but that'd be way too long for a CZcams comment!
      (And, yes, "ketchup" is derived from "kecap" (which is pronounced "kechap"), but the history of kecap to tomato ketchup is centuries long and involves so many distinct steps, including the initial step of "making a sauce that adds that certain something to food that kecap does without any actual knowledge of how to make kecap" that led to disparate branches including mushroom ketchup and Worcestershire sauce that I feel comfortable calling them entirely separate things.)

    Don't feel bad Uyen. I'm from South Asia and I too will confirm that in Asia we do not have the concept of flavoring our foods that much, which also includes dessert. Flavors like vanilla, chocolate, strawberry etc. is a Western concept. Our desserts are mostly just...sweet. Some middle eastern influenced desserts did introduce rose water yo some sweets but that's about it as far as I can recall.

      Actually in the original Vietnamese-styled soy milk pudding we have slices of ginger boiled/simmered together with the brown sugar syrup for 5 mins. As the result we have brown sugar syrup with ginger flavor (and just leave the ginger slices in the syrup, dont throw it away because you will eat them together). Usually this kind of tofu pudding would be served hot, and in the southern Vietnam there would be a little bit extra lightly-sweet coconut milk added in the dessert too and it will enhance the flavor further 😋 This hot pudding dessert really suits to eat in the early morning, especially in cold weather, then you have a spoon of hot silky-like tofu melted in your mouth, heartwarming of sweet syrup full of ginger flavor, chewing some these sweet ginger slices that warm your stomach from the inside ☺️ And if you like coconut milk, definitely put some (about 1 table spoon or it's up to you, just don't put it in too much or else it will destroy the ginger- and sweet flavor) in and you wont regret that, it's like the cherry on the top of the dessert! Of course small amount of tapiocas/bobas should already included in the dessert to make it more fun to chew!
      Btw really respect Uyen Ninh that she make the tofu pudding by herself, it really takes a significant amount of time and effort 👍 If i were her, i would buy the packaged silky tofu in Asia supermark to save time and effort (then just boil the tofu in a couple of minutes to soften its texture), of course the texture can't be as good as the handmade one, but well it's still enough for a lazy one like me :))) If anyone is interested in how to make this dessert quickly, check out for 'Helen's Recipes' channel. She's also a Vietnamese who used to live in Germany. When I was still a college student I used to watch her channel every now and then, because most of the ingredients she uses are available in Germany (or at least in Asia supermarket in Germany) and her recipe is easy to follow, which helped my student life a lot :))
      I agree that there are a lot popular fragrance flavors in Western contributing in the development history of the bakery and confectionery industry.
      I agree that there are quite amount of popular fragrance flavors in Western contributing in the development history of the bakery and confectionery industry.
      However if you say that the flavors of sweet foods in Asia don't have that much, well, it's a bit not accurate, unfortunately. Aside some popular flavours like red-, black-, mung bean, taro, matcha, coocnut, pineapple, mango, sesame and flavors, have you tried black sesame ice cream/- mochi from Japan? Or yuzu flavor ice cream? Ume plum cake/- mochi? Vietnam or Chinese lotus moon cake? Pandan leave is commonly used desserts, especially in South East Asia like Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia, because of their unique sweet fragrance. If you like dessert strong fragrance, you could try Vietnamese durian cake or ice cream :)) Not to mention about tea fragrance. Have you ever tried Taiwan or Chinese osmanthus oolong tea cake, or Hong Kong osmanthus jelly? Next are some example of desserts with flower aroma. Have you heard about Thai dessert Kanom Nam Dok Mai? Or Korean flower-scented cake Hwajeon? And there are a lot more exotic desserts with a diversity of flavours in Asian cuisines to explore and experience. If what you mean Asian desserts are just sweet, so bland then I bet you haven't eaten a lot desserts or sweet food in America, Australia and Europe, especially in Germany. A lot of desserts in Germany taste too sweet or too sour. In a bright side when it comes to fruit flavour ones like ice cream or fruit cake, they do taste fruity naturally. There are a lot of Westerners don't seem to consider dessert really dessert if it doesn't contain either chocolate or ice cream or both. The different mindset and habit about texture in desserts is also a thing here too. For example, a lot of Westerners prefer heavy, dense and sweeter cakes for full feeling in richness and depth (same with breads), as for Asians in general the light and fluffy sponge cakes is enough to enjoy its delicate texture without feeling easily full or overwhelmed/nauseous. Of course there are always exceptions and variety.

    My situation is very similar to yours, I'm also Viet and could definitely feel the hurt even though logically it can be explained but it still hurts a lot for our partners to not like it, deep down for me I just miss Vietnamese food a lot and it hurts to hear bad things about it in general. And if you happen to feel like you were too emotional about it, it's okay. You aren't alone in feeling that and it's your feelings.

      Not funny. I didn't laugh. Your
      joke is so bad I would have preferred the joke
      went over my head and you gave up retelling
      me the joke. To be honest this is the horrid
      attempt at trying to get a laugh out of me. Not
      a chuckle, not a hehe, not even the subtle
      bust of air out of my esophagus. Science says
      before you laugh your brain preps your face
      muscles but I didn't even feel the slightest
      twitch. 0/10 this joke is bad I cannot believe
      anyone legally allowed to be creative at all.
      The amount of brain power your must have
      put into that hola has the potential to power
      every house of Earth. Get a personality and
      learn how to make jokes, read a book.
      I'm not
      saying this to be funny I genuinely mean it on
      how this is just bottom barrel embarrassment
      at comedy. You've single handedly killed humor and ever comedic act on the planet.
      I'm so disappointed that's society has talked
      as a whole in being able to teach you how to
      be funny. Honestly if 1 put in all my power and
      time to try and make your joke funny it would
      be required Einstein himself to build a device
      to strap me into so I can be connected to the
      energy of a billion stars to do it, and even then
      all the joke would get from people is a subtle
      scruff. You're lucky I still have the slightest of
      empathy for you after telling that joke I would
      have committed every war in crime in the book
      just to prevent you from attempting any humor
      ever again. We should put that joke in the text
      books so future generations can be wary of
      becoming such an absolute comedic failure. In
      disappointed hurt, and outright offended that
      my precious time has been wasted in my brain
      understanding that's joke. In the time thats took
      I was planning on helping kids who have been
      orphaned, but because of thats you've wasted
      my time explaining the obscene integrity of
      your terrible attempt at comedy. Now those
      kids are suffering without meals and there's
      nobody to blame but you. I hope you're happy
      with what you have done and I truly hope you
      can move on and learn from this situation.

    You can try the romanian cuisine one day Uyen, you would love it! We have a very similar chicken soup recipe, but without the cardamon anise and clove. I will try to add this . Also we have lots of noodle and potato soups with pork meat, chicken meat, a boiled beans and smoked meat . And my favorite lovage soup. That is full of a veggie that makes the soup purple and borsch which makes it sour. I miss romanian soups the most when I travel

    Wow I didn't know what Uyen was talking about when she introduced the tofu pudding but it turns out to be what we call "Tofu Fa" (translated as tofu flower) in Cantonese! It's the same dessert we commonly have in Hong Kong and it's the best when it's cold (er, never too cold in tropical climate haha)! We add "yellow sugar" which I think is a type of rock sugar on top to make it sweet and it's the best! Also Uyen making soybean milk from scratch is real dedication! XD that takes so much effort but I bet the soy flavour is amazing!

    Imma be honest here, I don't think I ever met an adult this scared of new food experiences.
    I'm a German and I cooked some eggplants in an Yu Xiang sauce the other day.
    The coworkers devoured it and I was forced to produce a German language version of the recipe.
    However, Phở gà is probably among the best dishes to use for introducing a hesitant eater to Vietnamese cooking.
    The concept of a chicken noodle soup is likely familiar enough and the spread of additional things you get to put in to taste lets you retain control over what you eat while introducing new options.

Maybe you should partner up with "Will in Vietnam" as he recently took the French ambassador out for street food in Hanoi. Or reach out to Van from "What the Pho" since she's also from Hanoi. If you are going back soon, maybe collab with "Mike and Ashley" or "Sammy and Tommy" (I hear they are planning on going back early next year).
