This is the first Vietnamese food recipes I ever saw that didn't make me think I had to rush out to find an Asian market to buy ingredients I never saw before. I can do these! Thank you, Uyen!
@@sparklemotion8377 Well yes, but it's seamlessly integrated with making the whole soup! Like the bones you use for the broth are part of the final dish.
I have the type of depression that makes it difficult to have the energy to do things like cook. My boyfriend takes care of me but has to go to another state for work starting next week. These dishes look delicious and appear to be easy enough that I can muster the energy to make them. Or prepare it on a good day and eat it the rest of the week instead of eating food out of its can. Thank you!!!
Thats a great idea! I have the same routine, which helps me a lot, so I can really recommend it. I get groceries delivered (eventhough it makes me feel guilty sometimes it helps so much) and prepare several banchan (korean sidedishes - like cucumber kimchi or mungo bean sprout salad) I can eat and add to my foods through the week. Every healthier meal is a win, but always remember: the fact that you ate overall is a win in itself. You got this!
Hi, I have the same struggle! Boiled potatoe is your friend, it goes with any food. Cooking frozen chicken directly in the oven in nice and quick too. Rice also, takes a little more attention to make it, but make a bunch so later you can make egg fried rice by just making scrambled eggs & dump the rice in there, keep cooking a little longer. I always throw some frozen veggies in the rice when first cooking it to get more vitamins/nutrients. A new one I found for using old rice, stuffed bell peppers! Cut bell peppers in half (remove centers & wash the peppers to get all the seeds out quick/easy). Rub oil, salt, & pepper on them. Put them in the oven 20 min. While that's happening, make ground beef in a pan, use more seasoning than normal, throw a can of black beans in it, your old rice, & some tomato sauce. Take peppers out of the oven, stuff them with your beef mix, put a slice of cheese on each one, put back in oven for 10 minutes or 15 (the cheese should be bubbling.
Obviously, I don't know your situation, (I have chronic fatigue, sucks to be me) but I have someone who comes to my house three times a week for an hour and prepares food for me. I also use the bags of chopped salad from the supermarket. I've tried Meals on Wheels, but around here, they're inedible. They may be better where you live., though. It may be worth giving them a try.
I'm wishing you luck and health preparing these meals while your boyfriend is gone :) hopefully you can even show him your cooking skills when he returns too!
Tomato and egg is SUCH an asian college student staple! I'm chinese and i make it all the time, it's so easy and delicious. My hong kong friend adds beef, my hawaiian japanese friend adds spam
The variations your friends add sound amazing. Beef adds a rich flavor, and spam brings that unique salty-sweet taste that’s so popular in Hawaiian cuisine. Have you ever tried adding other ingredients or using different spices? Sometimes a splash of soy sauce or a sprinkle of green onions can elevate the dish even further. 😋Hello there, How's your day going? I hope your day has been as wonderful as you are.
I enormously appreciate that Uyen did not shrink from showing bad vegetable - her sincerity, honesty, courage... Reality is not so ideal as many influencers show😮
Please make more videos like this. I am a really bad cook, but this looks like something maybe even I could do. You make really cool things with limited ingredients and time. I love it!
Thank you for these beautiful simple recipes. I'm over my 60 now and I cook everyday for me and my partner and I appreciate simple, healthy and delicious recipes. I think that vietnamese cooking as well as other west asian nations cuisines are very tasty and healthy, especially (but not only) for older people, who need more vegetables and fresh food in their daily diet. When I was young in my country (Poland) we had not bad daily dishes recipes and people - however poor than - had better eating habits than now, they had to cook simple, healthy food for themselves. Now they often buy fast foods or ready-made products, full of unhealthy additions. I subscribe your channel, because you are so nice, brave girl with a beautiful sense of humor. I keep my finger crossed for you ❤
I'm also over 60 and absolutely cannot eat fast food and I'm disabled so I also look for especially easy recipes. And for some reason, (um I guess because it's Winter here.. lol) I'm craving soup every single day!!
I’m so ready to try these 🥰 thank you!! One thing i’d like to say to westerners, is don’t be afraid of fish sauce - it smells funky, but it adds sooo much more depth and complexity to your food. I use it as s substitute for salt in egg dishes and it’s really amazing, and i say this as a ukrainian, so a waaay different type of pallet 😊
I think almost every culture has a fishy umami salty concoction? So I guarantee it's not foreign to ppl, we just call things like anchovy sauce Worcestershire sauce.
Hi Uyen! I just made the tomato egg soup for a late night snack, it was really delicious! I used a normal onion, some cherry tomatoes, fish sauce, pepper, egg and some soy sauce. Thank you for this video!
Im Greek but I really only make Vietnamese food at home! I buy soo much GD fish sauce and soo many fresh herbs :D It's the best, happiest, freshest food ever.
Ohh cool!! What kind of herbs or other seasoning do you use to make you dishes?? I really stan vitnamese food too, at least the ones i tasted at vitnamese restaurants i ve been to haha:) i really love forexample those kind of rice noodle salads that are soo refreshing!! But i dont really know what they put in there 🤕 maybe you have some tips? :)
I'm a huge fan of cooking videos, but the ones I see tend to be elaborate and needs preparation (I got no time for all of that). So watching your cooking videos are so refreshing, I love how wholesome and simple they are. I just want every day food/meals that can be whipped out quickly after a long day of work. I can't wait to cook these for me and my husband! ^_^ Please make more of these cooking related videos, Uyen! They are great!
I love that you kept it so real! I don't measure when I cook, I substitute ingredients all the time. The main ingredient is love and it you cook it with love, it always tastes perfect. Buen provecho. ❤️
If you live in the US and want to buy MSG, but don't have an Asian supermarket near you, you might actually be able to find it in your local grocery store. Look in the spices section for something called Accent/Ac’cent. It is a staple in our house.
And if you live in Germany: Aromat (by knorr) is basically half salt, half msg. If you use it instead of regular salt, you'll end up with the same result.
Interesting, I'm Vietnamese from Canada and I've never had these dishes growing up. I was expecting to see thit kho trung (caramelized braised pork and egg), bun dau mam tom (vermicelli with fried tofu and shrimp paste, this was the ultimate lazy and tasty meal my parents made), com thit bam (rice and fried ground pork), dau hu sot ca chua (fried tofu with tomatoes) or com chien (fried rice), or chao (congee) Those are common comfort foods that are not too lahour intensive but I guess every household and region is different !
Thank you! I am a Canadian who lives in Mexico and recently returned from 7 weeks in Vietnam. I miss so many things about Vietnam, especially the food. Even in Mexico, I have everything for all of the dishes except the 4th one in my fridge, cupboard, or freezer right now without going to the store. Even the fish sauce. (Although I do have to get some msg). I am going to do the cabbage for dinner today. I am so excited about being able to have a taste of Vietnam. Again, thank you for all your videos, but especially this one. 🫶
Traveling through Vietnam must have been an unforgettable experience, especially with all the delicious food. It's wonderful that you can recreate those flavors at home in Mexico. The combination of cultures in your kitchen must make for some incredible meals. Enjoy your cabbage dish tonight-I'm sure it'll bring back great memories of Vietnam. Hello there, How's your day going? I hope your day has been as wonderful as you are.
I imagine that if your family's diet has a ton of veggie and soup dishes, it will be hard to gain weight even if you also eat pork fat often. I'm currently on a diet and most soups and all veggie heavy dishes (unless you deep fry them) have low calorie density, so they fill you up while not having that many calories. Y'all are definitely getting your 5 servings of fruit and veggies a day! Love that some of these dishes are vegetarian/vegan compatible! I might try the cabbage stir fry, looks tasty.
The lack of mass produced/pre-packaged food is huge. If a person were to eat this type of diet all the time with the OCCASIONAL standard American meal, they would still be healthy. Its when we start adding things like sandwich bread, chips, processed dressings, cereals, desserts, etc that we get in trouble.
I'm excited to try your recipes! I live in rural USA. The nearest Asian store is an hour away and very small. When I visit my family in big city I stock up on things like fish sauce, gochujang, gochugaru, bulk spices, curry paste, asian noodles (I love glass noodles) and ramens/pho/udon etc. Instant bibimmen I love so much. So cold, spicy and sweet. Its the only "fancy" instant noodles I'll buy online. They live 10 hours away though so I only buy shelf stable things. I haven't been in a few years because we have goats, chickens, dogs and cats so finding babysitter is hard.
This is so funny because I'm the opposite! I live in a state capitol city right near the biggest asian population, so I have multiple asian grocers within 5 minutes of me. I'm also close to Costco and Trader Joes. When I drive 600 miles (11 hours) to visit my family, I take orders for all the specialty items they want and load up my big Outback with all the good stuff. One time they gave me a quarter cow to take back for someone! I love being the food delivery for my family!
Just my family lives 10 hours away. Since nearest big city doesn't have good selection I tend to stock up there, I'm not sure where a good sized Asian store would be near me but over an hour drive at very least.
I'm vietnamese and a decent cook (since I was 10 I'm 27 now, I live in the netherlands so I cook all different types of cuisines) and in the recent years started learning the vietnamese dishes with my mom(who makes the best vietnamese food ever) and the internet. Its funny to see how vastly different certain staple dishes are in different households! I was shooketh watching this video. Still looks so good tho! I will try the coconut instead of cocorico next time
I made tomato soup yesterday and was questioning if to put an egg in it. Now I regret not doing it 😢 And omg I did the exact same thing to my nail peeling potatoes 2 days ago 😅. I feel your pain Uyen 😢😂
Vietnamese people are so self sufficient, economical, and can survive through anything with always a smile and warm heart. Thanks for these simple and humble videos.
This is amazing, especially loved learning about the fried tomato and shallot base. I didn't know that that was in a lot of vietnamese cooking and I LOVE tomato! I'l definitely try the tomato egg soup and the noodle soup at home!
Love canh chua trứng, i usually put some tamarind powder and some msg too .. some of the grocery stores in Florida like Winn Dixie sometimes sells Thai tamarind and it’s so good
I really loved this video! Even though you didn't give us precise amounts of ingredients, I still feel like I could easily make all of these. I've been trying to practice more Vietnamese dishes and I'm going to add these to my rotation. I hope you make more cooking videos in the future! Please show us your favorite dishes to eat, even if the ingredients need to come from an Asian supermarket. I'll make the journey for you haha💕
Really needed this video! Vietnamese is one of my favourite cuisines, but the recipes always look so time consuming that it puts me off trying to make it myself.
Thank you so much for the inspiration! The first dishes will be perfect for cooking at work. I will prepare at home the onion tomatoes and will take them as a base as you did. And fishsauce! 😋 Thank you! 🫶🏻
Your videos being me so much joy and peace right now. I live in the US and things are going down hill very fast and your videos give me a little escape.
I'm proud for you too, Uyen! Please do more cooking videos if you care to, I will appreciate them. Happy to see how you've grown in confidence and skill and excited to add some of these recipes to my rota. Thank you! 🤎
I love the tomato-egg-soup recipe; its my go to meal when I am sick or too weak to cook bigger meals. I tend to get cherry tomatoes & cut them in half for less prep work and add some rice in my bowl, topping it off with the finished soup, to make it more filling. Delicious!
Thank you for this Video Uyen! When I was still in school I worked at a vietnamese restaurant and after end of shift the whole staff would always have a big dinner together. I loved all the food but it's hard to find instructions for vietnamese home cooking so couldn't have it again for quite some time. The I made friends with a vietnamese guy, the first time he cooked tofu in tomato sauce I was transported back in time to the restaurant. I think I almost cried. Vietnamese food is the best!
I hope she continues the shallot and tomato base and make the fried or stuffed tofu in that tomato sauce. Also there's an amazing fried fish that also goes in that tomato sauce, which is one of my favorite things to eat growing up. She can also use it to add thinly sliced beef to make a beef soup (some people add watercress and such, but my parents just had the beef in theirs).
Seaweed and kelp naturally contain msg, while msg powder is artificially produced. "Artificial" doesn't mean it's bad, it's simply something you can't grow and harvest in a natural way.
@@Nevermore..I was gonna say disodium inosinate is also a natural msg-like salt made from seaweed but there still might be too much of it on Doritos 😅 I think Doritos are borderline addictive. Nothing quenches my desire for secret umami like them. Where can I get a package of that?
Noodlee soup and fried cabbage look delicious. I'm going to try to make those. Quick and healthy. Plus it looks so easy I can't mess it up.😊 Thank you for sharing your favorite recipes to make with Western grocery ingredients.
I’m glad you found the recipes helpful. If you’re looking for more ideas or need tips while you’re cooking, feel free to reach out. Enjoy your culinary adventure, and happy cooking! 🍜🥬
Thanks Uyen! I am keen to try, especially the tomato egg soup. We have a similar dish in Cantonese cuisine and i want to copare the flavours. Cant wait to try
As an American with Italian and Scottish grandparents I use these ingredients all the time … I can do these with just a little twist ! Thanks! Also your nails are always beautiful.
I love Vietnamese food. I have that same bottle of Three Crab fish sauce! And I just bought seeds to grow coriander in my garden. All the recipes so quick and easy and they looked beautiful, especially that noodle soup.
I love that you're finding ways to bring vietnamese culture to germany with you! thank you for sharing! i enjoyed seeing how happy you are when you eat.
Hanoi Fried Fish with Turmeric and Dill (Chả Cá Lã Vọng) is my fave home-cooked Vietnamese dish. I ran across the simple recipe & I had to try it. My family LOVED it! My husband demands I serve it at least once a month. One tip, use scissors over a bowl to snip the fresh dill. Otherwise, your cutting board's gonna look like it's covered in lawn clippings.
@ If you like that dish, try the fish in tomato sauce. It's similar to the tomato sauce recipe Uyen used in this video. Just make sure to fry you fish then set it in the sauce. It's delicious! Maybe Uyen will keep using that tomato base and show us how to make it soon.
I really enjoy your channel and I love your recipe so I watch this very carefully this morning and immediately ran right downstairs and made the tomato egg soup for my breakfast. It’s incredible and delicious. I wanted to tell you I added 1/2 of a lime squeezed into the mix and I think it’s good. We’re diabetic so I’m always looking for recipes that aren’t high carb for breakfast and this is just perfect.. thank you so much and I’m gonna try your other ones too except we don’t eat meat so I can’t do those.
I moved from an area of america with a large korean population to an area where the nearest authentic korean grocery store is a 30 minute drive. Ive been learning how to adapt western things into my normally asian cooking, so videos like yours make me feel a lot more comforted about my situation ^^ I think once its in the budget, I'll make korean bone soup as tribute to your video!
Vietnamese food is my favourite cuisine and I cook it often. But I'm loving your home style dishes and haven't heard of most of them. Please include authentic ingredients for this who can get it. I'm in Australia and Vietnamese ingredients are easy to get.
I'd love an update or comment with "authentic" ingredients. Like, is a specific cabbage better than green cabbage? What vegetables would you normally use for the sour veggie side dish? What other herbs or seasonings go in the soup?
@@mandar66 I have just googled the dishes to find authentic recipes. I'm thinking it's actually helpful to have a recipe to halp transition people to cooking Vietnamese.
this is the best type of recipe video! simple, delicious recipes that can be easily slotted into anyone's routine. i want to know every culture's lazy(ish) recipes so i can have the most diversity of different flavor profiles of my daily meals. super complex stuff i can only do once in a while. and simple recipes are usually just as delicious as the more complex ones!! thank you!
I’ve been watching your videos lately and had a dream that you were a friend of mine in person! Thanks for making such a happy and fun space online to hang out with and learn from you :)
TH-cam "chefs" often don't do simple everyday cooking. Everyone is trying to be trendy and spectacular. I love stuff you can make in 10-15 minutes and jump up in the couch in your PJ's to eat in front of your tv. And watch more Uyen for example. 😊 This is good stuff! 👍🏻 PS. My current favourite BTW is Soba Gaki, or Japanese buckwheat dumplings in broth with whatever veg i might have.
I've tried a Chinese version of egg and tomato soup. It's basically the same, just uses simple yellow onions instead of shallots. It's really really good and super simple to make. I'll definitely try this Vietnamese version. Vietnamese food is amazing. I love that Vietnamese use lots of different flavours so it's not just spicy but also sour, sweet and salty. I love going to Vietnamese restaurants and my dream is to visit Vietnam.
Получилось! Ямми-ямми! Осталось только в ТЯК Москва на вьетнамский рынок съездить и купить рыбный соус и уями. Но и без них действительно получился вкусный сытный легкий суп. Спасибо за вдохновение, Уен!
Hi. I just love watching all your videos. You always keep it real and give us so much learning and enjoyment too. Lots of Love to you and German boyfriend ❤
These recipes were awesome! I will definitely be trying some of them, everything looks delicious and easy to make. Thanks so much and please make more videos like this!💜
Oh I am heading into the kitchen to make that egg and tomato soup with the cabbage dish right now! It looks amazing (and so healthy!) 😍 Edit: It was *delicious*!
I love coriander. I'm salvadorian (parents from El Salvador) so I usually use it in side dish called Chimol, which is chopped tomato, onion, coriander, and eat with corn tortilla chips :) I also add coriander in lentil soup!
lol this video is extremely funny! especially this!!! 16:07 this channel is getting better and better.. and i learnt a lesson today; never cook a pumpkin when it's doing so well lol
Uyen! I made the tomato egg soup added some coconut amino acid and chili oil/ flakes with sourdough noodles to mine . Also did the cabbage stir fried . Add that to my tomato egg soup to add more veggies ! It was a hit ! I need to go buy some fish oil !
Definitely “put fish sauce into everything” it creates the savory and umami taste. It a MUST-HAVE spice in every Vietnamese kitchen and even when we live abroad, we always seek and delve in Asian market for the fish sauce. Btw, nice cooking tutorials, I can’t wait to see you in the next one. Happy Lunar New Year 🌸
Uyen everything looks amazing!! Cannot wait to try every recipe. I love that several of the dishes used the same base and same toppings. Thanks for sharing these! ❤
Thank you so much for these simple but delicious recipes, Uyen!! I couldn't wait to try them--I've already made the first too, and I'm absolutely loving them. Also, these came just in time--I had too many tomatoes at home, and no idea what to do with them, and now you saved both me and my tomatoes!! Thank you so much. PS. Also, I'm a vegetarian, and I love how you included vegetarian friendly options too--I've always wanted to try making Vietnamese food, but didn't know where to start, honestly, this was great help and so so yummy!!
Whether it’s learning new techniques, discovering unique ingredients, or just enjoying the process of creating something tasty, there’s always something exciting to take away. If you have any favorite cooking shows or chefs, I’d love to hear about them! And if you’re up for it, I can share more recipes or tips from different cuisines to keep the culinary inspiration flowing. Happy cooking! 😊❤Hello there, How's your day going? I hope your day has been as wonderful as you are.
Yes, I’d love to see more videos like this. I love learning new ways to cook. As an American, I honestly don’t care for our food. I find it very bland and boring. I wish my town had an Asian Market. Our stores do have some stuff but it’s the American version. One thing that makes Asian recipes hard that I find usually, is that they all use Sesame Oil. I’m allergic to it. Luckily, we do have a couple Mexican Markets. I make Mexican a lot. Now I can make Vietnamese 🎉
We just found out my daughter is allergic to sesame, soy, and shrimp! And I make so much Japanese and Korean food! I hope Vietnamese food options might work for us too.
If you're allergic just leave it out I'm half Chinese and cook a lot of Asian food and tend to put sesame in a lot of things when I can find it but most dishes don't have to have it and if she's not allergic to peanuts get some unrefined peanut oil as a substitute the flavor is a bit different but it will still enhance the dishes in a similar way.
This is the first Vietnamese food recipes I ever saw that didn't make me think I had to rush out to find an Asian market to buy ingredients I never saw before. I can do these! Thank you, Uyen!
Her name is Uyên, and the Family name is Ninh
yeah Thank you Uyen! I love your channel!
Thanks for showing more authentic dishes
I love that none of these soups require you to have broth on hand-just water into a flavourful, well-seasoned base. More cooking videos please!!
The fourth recipe IS making broth
@@sparklemotion8377 Well yes, but it's seamlessly integrated with making the whole soup! Like the bones you use for the broth are part of the final dish.

I make mine with chopped pork and some basil. Or if I have some shrimp I'll use those.
I love how you referred to the canned tomato as canned potato and fresh potato instead of fresh tomato. Im going to try it when our winter starts
Potato, tomato. haha, please bear with me
“You say potato, I say tomato”😆
@@uyenninhin the north, tomatoes taste like potatoes in the winter! 😂
Those words are so similar, tbh. Especially if English is not your first language.
i love how i noticed that something was off but i didn't even notice it at the same time
I love that German Boyfriend arrived with an arm full of first-aid. Really showing the German spirit of being prepared.
they are not at the hotel😢
Didn't I see flowers too?? So funny. ❤
Currently eating the first recipe, with MSG, fish sauce and coriander added. Delicious.
I enormously appreciate that Uyen did not shrink from showing bad vegetable - her sincerity, honesty, courage... Reality is not so ideal as many influencers show😮
I love this. There need to be more home cooking videos on the internet! It's so much more accessible than what cooking channels usually put out.
Please make more videos like this. I am a really bad cook, but this looks like something maybe even I could do. You make really cool things with limited ingredients and time. I love it!

For those who can't find fish sauce, try Worcestershire sauce. The flavour is a little different, but it has a similar umami boost.
Ooh, good idea
Or coconut aminos
I’m so ready to try these 🥰 thank you!!
One thing i’d like to say to westerners, is don’t be afraid of fish sauce - it smells funky, but it adds sooo much more depth and complexity to your food. I use it as s substitute for salt in egg dishes and it’s really amazing, and i say this as a ukrainian, so a waaay different type of pallet 😊
I’m an American, I love Fish Sauce too and Eel Sauce 😋
in soup, if you wish to get rid of the funky smell of seasoning fish sauce, add it in while the pot is boiling.
Even if you don’t eat it often, it won’t go to waste because it lasts forever.
I actually kind of like the smell of fish sauce 😆
I think almost every culture has a fishy umami salty concoction? So I guarantee it's not foreign to ppl, we just call things like anchovy sauce Worcestershire sauce.
Hi Uyen! I just made the tomato egg soup for a late night snack, it was really delicious! I used a normal onion, some cherry tomatoes, fish sauce, pepper, egg and some soy sauce. Thank you for this video!
If you use a regular onion, then add some chopped garlic. A shallot is a cross between an onion and garlic.
Im Greek but I really only make Vietnamese food at home!

Many Vietnamese in the US use chicken powder/bouillon in place of MSG now.
It’s usually right next to the salt👍🏼 ( or at least it is in the stores in my town)
And if you live in Germany: Aromat (by knorr) is basically half salt, half msg. If you use it instead of regular salt, you'll end up with the same result.
I buy the Badia brand off of Amazon. It's 1.75lbs for $10? Maybe more- haven't bought it in a long time. It's last quite awhile since there's so much.
@@Nevermore.. there is also Vegeta in Poland I think?
Interesting, I'm Vietnamese from Canada and I've never had these dishes growing up.

Those are common comfort foods that are not too lahour intensive but I guess every household and region is different !
Your joy about these dishes is infectious. ❤❤❤❤

Traveling through Vietnam must have been an unforgettable experience, especially with all the delicious food. It's wonderful that you can recreate those flavors at home in Mexico. The combination of cultures in your kitchen must make for some incredible meals.
Enjoy your cabbage dish tonight-I'm sure it'll bring back great memories of Vietnam. Hello there, How's your day going? I hope your day has been as wonderful as you are.
I imagine that if your family's diet has a ton of veggie and soup dishes, it will be hard to gain weight even if you also eat pork fat often. I'm currently on a diet and most soups and all veggie heavy dishes (unless you deep fry them) have low calorie density, so they fill you up while not having that many calories. Y'all are definitely getting your 5 servings of fruit and veggies a day!
Love that some of these dishes are vegetarian/vegan compatible! I might try the cabbage stir fry, looks tasty.
The lack of mass produced/pre-packaged food is huge. If a person were to eat this type of diet all the time with the OCCASIONAL standard American meal, they would still be healthy. Its when we start adding things like sandwich bread, chips, processed dressings, cereals, desserts, etc that we get in trouble.
Yes!! Please give us more (easy to medium) recipes!! Can't wait to try the noodles from this video!! Love from Sicily❤💛
I'm excited to try your recipes! I live in rural USA. The nearest Asian store is an hour away and very small.
When I visit my family in big city I stock up on things like fish sauce, gochujang, gochugaru, bulk spices, curry paste, asian noodles (I love glass noodles) and ramens/pho/udon etc.
Instant bibimmen I love so much. So cold, spicy and sweet.
Its the only "fancy" instant noodles I'll buy online.
They live 10 hours away though so I only buy shelf stable things. I haven't been in a few years because we have goats, chickens, dogs and cats so finding babysitter is hard.
This is so funny because I'm the opposite! I live in a state capitol city right near the biggest asian population, so I have multiple asian grocers within 5 minutes of me. I'm also close to Costco and Trader Joes. When I drive 600 miles (11 hours) to visit my family, I take orders for all the specialty items they want and load up my big Outback with all the good stuff. One time they gave me a quarter cow to take back for someone! I love being the food delivery for my family!
😂I've had my family bring stuff from their house as well. I normally just send back eggs and produce since they're shelf stable.
I am from Europe and hearing how big the US is is always so interesting to me. Does it really take you 10 hours to your next big city?
@@sehrinteressant Ah, no sorry. Haha, Big city is about an hour away. But there's only like 2 Asian grocery stores there and they're quite small
Just my family lives 10 hours away. Since nearest big city doesn't have good selection I tend to stock up there, I'm not sure where a good sized Asian store would be near me but over an hour drive at very least.
I'm vietnamese and a decent cook (since I was 10 I'm 27 now, I live in the netherlands so I cook all different types of cuisines) and in the recent years started learning the vietnamese dishes with my mom(who makes the best vietnamese food ever) and the internet. Its funny to see how vastly different certain staple dishes are in different households! I was shooketh watching this video. Still looks so good tho! I will try the coconut instead of cocorico next time
what are the differences? i would like to know how other vietnamese do these too
even if its not simple UYEN i want a video of you teaching us vietnamese
YES
Yeees
I made tomato soup yesterday and was questioning if to put an egg in it. Now I regret not doing it 😢
And omg I did the exact same thing to my nail peeling potatoes 2 days ago 😅. I feel your pain Uyen 😢😂
I love how proud you are of your cooking. It's always awesome!
Ich lieb deine Koch Videos ❤
Chinese 🤝🏻 Vietnamese
Loving the combinations of tomatoes and eggs
Addicted to MSG 😂
@@graceyeh1 FAIR
Also all us cultures that eat shakshuka 🩷 egg and tomato is just a perfect mix of acid and flavor and nourishing fat and protein
Vietnamese people are so self sufficient, economical, and can survive through anything with always a smile and warm heart. Thanks for these simple and humble videos.
Thank you for showing us recipes we can use with what is easy to find. Very excited!
This is amazing, especially loved learning about the fried tomato and shallot base. I didn't know that that was in a lot of vietnamese cooking and I LOVE tomato! I'l definitely try the tomato egg soup and the noodle soup at home!
Love canh chua trứng, i usually put some tamarind powder and some msg too .. some of the grocery stores in Florida like Winn Dixie sometimes sells Thai tamarind and it’s so good
She is the only vlogger i can watch without skipping 😅
It seems uyen has fixed my attention span ❤
I really loved this video! Even though you didn't give us precise amounts of ingredients, I still feel like I could easily make all of these. I've been trying to practice more Vietnamese dishes and I'm going to add these to my rotation. I hope you make more cooking videos in the future! Please show us your favorite dishes to eat, even if the ingredients need to come from an Asian supermarket. I'll make the journey for you haha💕
19:45 I love the side comment "you're also so humble" 😆 🤣 😂
Really needed this video! Vietnamese is one of my favourite cuisines, but the recipes always look so time consuming that it puts me off trying to make it myself.
Thank you so much for the inspiration! The first dishes will be perfect for cooking at work. I will prepare at home the onion tomatoes and will take them as a base as you did. And fishsauce! 😋 Thank you! 🫶🏻
Your videos being me so much joy and peace right now. I live in the US and things are going down hill very fast and your videos give me a little escape.
I wish you all the best, hopefully things will start going uphill soon 🤗
I'm proud for you too, Uyen! Please do more cooking videos if you care to, I will appreciate them. Happy to see how you've grown in confidence and skill and excited to add some of these recipes to my rota. Thank you! 🤎
Tip: if you can't find fishsouce, use a couple of anchovies as a substitute.
This is rly helpful actually
I think chicken stock would work too if the objective is giving umami flavor
@@MrJedcpf Yes, because chicken stock is loaded with MSG. It's what a lot of Vietnamese people use in place of MSG now. LOL
I love the tomato-egg-soup recipe; its my go to meal when I am sick or too weak to cook bigger meals. I tend to get cherry tomatoes & cut them in half for less prep work and add some rice in my bowl, topping it off with the finished soup, to make it more filling. Delicious!
I’m going to try the tomatoes and eggs soup recipe. Thanks for sharing your recipes with us.
Thank you for this Video Uyen! When I was still in school I worked at a vietnamese restaurant and after end of shift the whole staff would always have a big dinner together. I loved all the food but it's hard to find instructions for vietnamese home cooking so couldn't have it again for quite some time.
The I made friends with a vietnamese guy, the first time he cooked tofu in tomato sauce I was transported back in time to the restaurant. I think I almost cried.
Vietnamese food is the best!
I hope she continues the shallot and tomato base and make the fried or stuffed tofu in that tomato sauce. Also there's an amazing fried fish that also goes in that tomato sauce, which is one of my favorite things to eat growing up. She can also use it to add thinly sliced beef to make a beef soup (some people add watercress and such, but my parents just had the beef in theirs).
Monosodium Glutemate, aka MSG, isn't artificial. It's a type of salt found, and extracted from, Seaweed and Kelp.
yep! the propaganda against it is just that- propaganda
Seaweed and kelp naturally contain msg, while msg powder is artificially produced. "Artificial" doesn't mean it's bad, it's simply something you can't grow and harvest in a natural way.
Also found in cheeses, mushrooms, and salted tomatoes :)
@@Nevermore..I was gonna say disodium inosinate is also a natural msg-like salt made from seaweed but there still might be too much of it on Doritos 😅 I think Doritos are borderline addictive. Nothing quenches my desire for secret umami like them. Where can I get a package of that?
Favorite lines:
1. "someone should hire me as a private chef"
2. uyen: "I am so good at cooking", gbf: "and so humble", uyen: "thank you"
Noodlee soup and fried cabbage look delicious. I'm going to try to make those. Quick and healthy. Plus it looks so easy I can't mess it up.😊 Thank you for sharing your favorite recipes to make with Western grocery ingredients.
I’m glad you found the recipes helpful. If you’re looking for more ideas or need tips while you’re cooking, feel free to reach out. Enjoy your culinary adventure, and happy cooking! 🍜🥬
Love how this got recommended to me just after I made an egg drop soup/ hot and sour soup combo. Will try yours one day too!
Thanks Uyen! I am keen to try, especially the tomato egg soup. We have a similar dish in Cantonese cuisine and i want to copare the flavours. Cant wait to try
As an American with Italian and Scottish grandparents I use these ingredients all the time … I can do these with just a little twist ! Thanks! Also your nails are always beautiful.
I love Vietnamese food. I have that same bottle of Three Crab fish sauce! And I just bought seeds to grow coriander in my garden. All the recipes so quick and easy and they looked beautiful, especially that noodle soup.
The noodle soup + the cabbage + pork looks like a fantastic combo for a big meal!
I love that you're finding ways to bring vietnamese culture to germany with you! thank you for sharing! i enjoyed seeing how happy you are when you eat.
Hanoi Fried Fish with Turmeric and Dill (Chả Cá Lã Vọng) is my fave home-cooked Vietnamese dish. I ran across the simple recipe & I had to try it. My family LOVED it! My husband demands I serve it at least once a month. One tip, use scissors over a bowl to snip the fresh dill. Otherwise, your cutting board's gonna look like it's covered in lawn clippings.
What recipe did you use? And what fish has worked for you?
@@datgal2u I used the recipe on Marion's Kitchen. My go-to fish is catfish, but you can use whatever white fish you want.
@ If you like that dish, try the fish in tomato sauce. It's similar to the tomato sauce recipe Uyen used in this video. Just make sure to fry you fish then set it in the sauce. It's delicious! Maybe Uyen will keep using that tomato base and show us how to make it soon.
Are you team coriander or team no coriander?
Team coriander!!
Team coriander!!
Coriander is so good!!
Team coriander! >:)
No coriander.
Coriander team🎉
I really enjoy your channel and I love your recipe so I watch this very carefully this morning and immediately ran right downstairs and made the tomato egg soup for my breakfast. It’s incredible and delicious. I wanted to tell you I added 1/2 of a lime squeezed into the mix and I think it’s good. We’re diabetic so I’m always looking for recipes that aren’t high carb for breakfast and this is just perfect.. thank you so much and I’m gonna try your other ones too except we don’t eat meat so I can’t do those.
I moved from an area of america with a large korean population to an area where the nearest authentic korean grocery store is a 30 minute drive. Ive been learning how to adapt western things into my normally asian cooking, so videos like yours make me feel a lot more comforted about my situation ^^ I think once its in the budget, I'll make korean bone soup as tribute to your video!
Vietnamese food is my favourite cuisine and I cook it often. But I'm loving your home style dishes and haven't heard of most of them.
Please include authentic ingredients for this who can get it. I'm in Australia and Vietnamese ingredients are easy to get.
I came here to make the same request
Lucky you 😊
I'd love an update or comment with "authentic" ingredients. Like, is a specific cabbage better than green cabbage? What vegetables would you normally use for the sour veggie side dish? What other herbs or seasonings go in the soup?
@@mandar66 I have just googled the dishes to find authentic recipes. I'm thinking it's actually helpful to have a recipe to halp transition people to cooking Vietnamese.
this is the best type of recipe video! simple, delicious recipes that can be easily slotted into anyone's routine. i want to know every culture's lazy(ish) recipes so i can have the most diversity of different flavor profiles of my daily meals. super complex stuff i can only do once in a while. and simple recipes are usually just as delicious as the more complex ones!! thank you!
I love coriander and put it everywhere I can, friends and family tend to give up their coriander to me :D
I’ve been watching your videos lately and had a dream that you were a friend of mine in person! Thanks for making such a happy and fun space online to hang out with and learn from you :)
I love this video! Im not a fan of dishes that require heaps of work so im definitely gonna try out these simple dishes! Thank you Uyen
TH-cam "chefs" often don't do simple everyday cooking. Everyone is trying to be trendy and spectacular. I love stuff you can make in 10-15 minutes and jump up in the couch in your PJ's to eat in front of your tv. And watch more Uyen for example. 😊
This is good stuff! 👍🏻
PS. My current favourite BTW is Soba Gaki, or Japanese buckwheat dumplings in broth with whatever veg i might have.
I love how you explain things.❤
I've tried a Chinese version of egg and tomato soup. It's basically the same, just uses simple yellow onions instead of shallots. It's really really good and super simple to make. I'll definitely try this Vietnamese version.
Vietnamese food is amazing. I love that Vietnamese use lots of different flavours so it's not just spicy but also sour, sweet and salty. I love going to Vietnamese restaurants and my dream is to visit Vietnam.
Сразу захотелось приготовить яичный томатный суп ) Спасибо за идею для ужина. Привет из Москвы!
Ich schreibe auf Deutsch schlecht. Ich moechte heute Eggs Tomato Suppe kochen. Danke fuer Idea!
Получилось! Ямми-ямми! Осталось только в ТЯК Москва на вьетнамский рынок съездить и купить рыбный соус и уями. Но и без них действительно получился вкусный сытный легкий суп. Спасибо за вдохновение, Уен!
I like how Uyen unites people all over the world
As a Chinese person I really enjoyed these recipe!! When I travelled to Vietnam I loved every dishes I tried!!
Hi. I just love watching all your videos. You always keep it real and give us so much learning and enjoyment too. Lots of Love to you and German boyfriend ❤
Okay, I will _absolutely_ try that cabbage stir fry. It looks like it hits the perfect balance of cooked without losing all the freshness and crunch.
These recipes were awesome! I will definitely be trying some of them, everything looks delicious and easy to make. Thanks so much and please make more videos like this!💜
vielen Dank, Uyen! Die Suppe mit Tomaten und Eier war super einfach und lecker! (und ich liebe Koriander :) )
Oh I am heading into the kitchen to make that egg and tomato soup with the cabbage dish right now! It looks amazing (and so healthy!) 😍
Edit: It was *delicious*!
I love coriander. I'm salvadorian (parents from El Salvador) so I usually use it in side dish called Chimol, which is chopped tomato, onion, coriander, and eat with corn tortilla chips :) I also add coriander in lentil soup!
lol this video is extremely funny!
especially this!!! 16:07
this channel is getting better and better.. and i learnt a lesson today; never cook a pumpkin when it's doing so well
lol
Please more of the cooking videos. All these recipes looks delicious. Must try..
I just love to see you enjoy food❤
Thank you for sharing recipes-I can’t wait to try! I’m gluten free and from the US so I always need ideas❤❤
Uyen! I made the tomato egg soup added some coconut amino acid and chili oil/ flakes with sourdough noodles to mine . Also did the cabbage stir fried . Add that to my tomato egg soup to add more veggies ! It was a hit !
I need to go buy some fish oil !
Definitely “put fish sauce into everything” it creates the savory and umami taste. It a MUST-HAVE spice in every Vietnamese kitchen and even when we live abroad, we always seek and delve in Asian market for the fish sauce. Btw, nice cooking tutorials, I can’t wait to see you in the next one. Happy Lunar New Year 🌸
So excited to watch this!!
Uyen everything looks amazing!! Cannot wait to try every recipe. I love that several of the dishes used the same base and same toppings. Thanks for sharing these! ❤
I love coriander so I grow them in a pot 😊
i love all these dishes so quick to cook and healthy 🩷🤌
Sister forgot the name of the King of Flavour, haiyaah.... ;)
Did she lose auntie status? 😂
I’m excited to try these recipes sometime! I’m disabled so the simpler the better ☺️
We also make this exact fish shoup in Greece as well! (Fourth dish) Btw love your videos keep up the good work 👍
Thank you so much for these simple but delicious recipes, Uyen!! I couldn't wait to try them--I've already made the first too, and I'm absolutely loving them. Also, these came just in time--I had too many tomatoes at home, and no idea what to do with them, and now you saved both me and my tomatoes!! Thank you so much.
PS. Also, I'm a vegetarian, and I love how you included vegetarian friendly options too--I've always wanted to try making Vietnamese food, but didn't know where to start, honestly, this was great help and so so yummy!!
Definitely more cooking shows!! So delicious!!❤❤❤❤
Whether it’s learning new techniques, discovering unique ingredients, or just enjoying the process of creating something tasty, there’s always something exciting to take away.
If you have any favorite cooking shows or chefs, I’d love to hear about them! And if you’re up for it, I can share more recipes or tips from different cuisines to keep the culinary inspiration flowing. Happy cooking! 😊❤Hello there, How's your day going? I hope your day has been as wonderful as you are.
the sugar and carrot mix was rly cool because that liquid that comes off it is widely used around the world as a cough syrup and it works great!!
"Someone should hire me" 😂 ❤ Yes!! They should AND they will!!!
I love Vietnamese food it always tastes so fresh and flavorful. This video gives me the confidence to try making some for myself
I will definitely try some of this dishes 😋
The pork and coconut was my favorite! But I will try all of them. Thank you so very much!
Yes, I’d love to see more videos like this. I love learning new ways to cook.
As an American, I honestly don’t care for our food. I find it very bland and boring.
I wish my town had an Asian Market. Our stores do have some stuff but it’s the American version. One thing that makes Asian recipes hard that I find usually, is that they all use Sesame Oil. I’m allergic to it.
Luckily, we do have a couple Mexican Markets. I make Mexican a lot.
Now I can make Vietnamese 🎉
We just found out my daughter is allergic to sesame, soy, and shrimp! And I make so much Japanese and Korean food! I hope Vietnamese food options might work for us too.
If you're allergic just leave it out
I'm half Chinese and cook a lot of Asian food and tend to put sesame in a lot of things when I can find it but most dishes don't have to have it and if she's not allergic to peanuts get some unrefined peanut oil as a substitute the flavor is a bit different but it will still enhance the dishes in a similar way.
@ Thank you. I’ll try the Peanut Oil.
@ So sorry. Soy is snuck into so many things too. I don’t eat Soy and I was so surprised at how many foods it’s in.
@@gabriellejohnson7324 it needs to be the unrefined peanut oil and the only place I've found it is whole foods.
Definitely going to make these! They look easy and yummy!
This video was amazing! Please keep making videos like this. It was relaxing and really interesting to watch. Thank you!!!
I’ve been sick and so tired of thinking what to cook so this really made my day! They’re so easy and tasty I’m happy
Ohhh ty for this video!! 😮
Your videos are so authentic. I like your lightness.❤
