Happy Monday friends! Did you guys have a good one? We had a big ol’ Vietnamese eating and drinking party on Saturday. According to Mike, these parties are called “nhậu.” Basically a bunch of people get together, drink and consume massive amounts of beer snacks. It’s kind of like going to an izakaya in Japan, or maybe heading to the bar for happy hour, only we did it at home since there’s no such thing as a Vietnamese bar around here.
Funny fact about that: almost all of the Vietnamese restaurants around here are unlicensed because some Vietnamese people get angry when they drink. Just so we’re clear, I have no idea if any of this is true, but considering this theory comes from Mike–who actually is Vietnamese–I’ll take his word for it. Plus, there’s this pretty crazy video of some girls throwing down in a pho restaurant that kinda sorta supports his hypothesis. No word on if alcohol was served there or not.
Anyway, we had a relatively tame night filled with our own version of nhậu food. These rolls definitely weren’t on the menu. They’re so so far from the traditional idea of salad rolls that I think my Vietnamese Food Lovers Club card would have been revoked if I even mentioned them. They are delicious though and a quick and easy dinner for those of you who are still melting at the thought of turning on the oven in the August heat.

Smoked Salmon and Avocado Summer Rollsmakes about 12 rollsprep time: 5 minutesactive time: 15 minutestotal time: 20 minutes
  • 12 round rice paper wrappers
  • 6 smoked salmon slices
  • 1 avocado, thinly sliced
  • 2-3 cups raw sprouts or cooked vermicelli
  • 1 english cucumber, seeded and cut into strips
  • miso sesame dressing or fish sauce vinaigrette, to dip
Take a rice paper wrapper and completely submerge it in a bowl of hot tap water for 10-15 seconds. Place the wrapper on a plate or cutting board – it’ll continue to soften as your assembling your roll. Add fillings as desired: avocado, smoked salmon, cucumbers, sprouts or noodles. Fold the bottom half of the wrapper up over the filling, hold the fold in place, fold in the sides and roll. Repeat as needed. Dip in the miso sesame dressing or fish sauce vinaigrette and enjoy!

Vietnamese Fish Tacos with Quick-Pickled Carrots and Daikon

Vietnamese Fish Tacos with Quick-Pickled Carrots and Daikon Sometimes it feels like everyday is Taco Tuesday around these parts. I’m not complaining though – I’ll never say no to a fluffy, soft tortilla filled with deliciousness. Especially when that deliciousness is a decidedly Vietnamese take on fish tacos. The fish here is seasoned with fish sauce, sugar, and a wee bit of turmeric for a happy yellow hue. Toss it all up with some dill, tomatoes, mint, and cilantro and you’ve got a happy mash-up of Mexican and Vietnamese flavors. Vietnamese Fish Tacos with Quick-Pickled Carrots and Daikon serves 2-4 prep time: 10 minutes active time: 10 minutes total time: 20 minutes Fish: 1 lb firm white fish, such as cod 2 teaspoons fish sauce 2 teaspoons sugar 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper 1/4 teaspoon ground tumeric 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 teaspoon oil 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint 1 tablespoon sliced green onions 1...

Grilled Vietnamese Pork Meatballs Recipe

Grilled Vietnamese Pork Meatballs Recipe It’s grilling season! Ever since  our first mini grilling session , Mike and I have been living the patio life, grilling up anything and everything in sight. We’ve been doing a lot of vegetables, and along with those, we’ve been doing the every so classic Vietnamese nem nuong. If you guys haven’t had nem nuong, you’re missing out. Juicy, perfectly grilled pork seasoned with fish sauce, garlic, pepper, and a touch of sugar. Nem nuong, or nem, which just means sausage, for short, is a staple on most Vietnamese menus. It’s a signature pink color (from food coloring) and you’ll usually see it grilled or pan-fried and served with rice or vermicelli. It comes in patties, balls, or sometimes on a skewer. Sometimes, if you’re lucky, you can order it with a ton of veggies and rice paper so you can roll up your own salad rolls. I love nem so much that it was one of the first things I learned how to say properly, instead of just sayin...
