we ate this almost every day we were in vietnam last year and absolutely loved it! when we came home to melbourne we tried every vietnames restaurant we could find that had bun cha and it was never anywhere near the same. i decided to try make it off your recipe and it was AMAZING! Tasted exactly like in Vietnam! So happy we make this regularly now. Thanks so much! :) you've made us both really happy!
@Thi Huynh yes, unless you live in the capital,you will probably not meet any black people in smaller cities/towns, but we have large vietnamese minorities in many towns 🙂 You will not meet vietnamese people maybe only in smaller villages or so
If you watch all my vids, you should be able to know many kinds of herbs because I introduce suitable herbs to use for each dish in each video :) But will consider your request for a "master class" in herbs :)
I love bun cha ! oh my goodness. I am half german and half vietnamese. my mother comes from vietnam so she knows how to cook vietnamese dishes. I like pho and banh cuon a lot but bun cha is my absolute favourite
Bun Cha ist einfach die besten, meine Eltern sind beide aus Vietnam gekommenen und wir leben jetzt in die Schweiz, in Zürich. Hier gibt es ganz viele Vietnamesis Restaurants aber sie sind ziemlich Saigon style
I made this following Helen's receipe and my family loves it!!! My wife told me it was eye popping delicious....and I didn't even do outdoor BBQ..just indoor pan fry..
Thank you so much for your efforts to introduce Vietnamese culture and food to everyone all over the world. Vietnamese food is really wonderful but it isn't as well-known as Thai food or Chinese food. Proud of you
I love this dish! I usually go to a local Vietnamese restaurant for this but now I'm going to have to try making it myself! Thank you for the recipe! I've cooked many of your dishes already and am so happy you make the recipes easy to follow. Thank you and happy cooking!
Bun Cha is one of my absolute favourite Vietnamese dishes. It's so vibrant, fresh, flavourful. I think it should be on everyones "food bucket list". Thank you Helen for letting us recreate it!
omg, bun cha. my favorite food of all time. i was seriously thinking about going back to hanoi, deporting some of the old ladies who own food stalls in the streets of hanoi, bring them to austria and force them to make bun cha for me every day. now that i have found this recipe, all of you bun cha ladies can take a deep breath. i guess, i won't have to kidnap you after all. oi gioi oi!
Thankyou thankyou thankyou.. We have just recently got back from Vietnam... And my husbands favourite was bun cha... and i havent been able to find a true viet recipe.... Thanks again... Cant wait to give it a go..!! We have been having cravings for it......
Helen, you are young but very talent. You had help me to learn how to cook sereval Vietnamese dishes that I like to eat. Thanks for taking time to show them to us. How do you learn to cook like that!!!! Your Mom should be so proud!
also my favourite Hanoi dish. I haven't made it at home but I've watched this video several times because I love both bun cha and the soothing sound of your voice !
I see kohlrabi at my local farmer's market all the time but never knew how to prepare it. Thanks for showing one possibility. This dish looks delicious!
I just stumbled onto your site. Everything I have seen so far looks fantastic!!! I love vietnamese food since I was a little kid. I think you just became my viet reference guide for recipes. Thank you.
That looks awesome. And tasty. Used to be a Vietnamese place near us. Closed a couple years ago. Replaced by a diner. Blaagh. Some of the best tasting food I've ever had. Saved to my favorites. As I plan on following your technique. Great vid. Thanks for putting that up.
I lived for 4 years in hanoi and since leaving, I have not been able to get a Bun Cha that looks this amazing anywhere! thank you for sharing. will be trying this today!
Thank you so much for your videos! They are easy to follow & very delicious. Now I don't have to wait until I go to resturant to eat my favorite dishes. I can just make at home. Thanks again, I look forward to watching and making more dishes!! Keep up the good work!!
I think that you are absolutely adorable! Your dishes exude yumminess.. I have so many ingredients in my house, to make many of your dishes.. Decisions, decisions!! Keep up the good work.. Thankyou so much!! :)
hihi that is a big compliment. Thank you! My energy is not enough to open a restaurant now. Though I cannot do great things, I can do small things with great love ;)
Đổ banh xeo cũng tuy thuoc nhieu vao cai chảo em ah. Dùng chảo gang hoặc chảo đáy dày bánh mới giòn nhiều, với lại phải cho nhiều dầu (1tbsp/cai), muốn giòn nữa phải chiên 2 lần ah ^^
This is one of ours all time favorite Vietnamese dishes. When we were in Hanoi last year, we made it a point to visit the restaurant where president Obama and Anthony Bourdain had Bun Cha!
Thank you so much for sharing this wonderfull recipe ! I Love Bun Cha hanoi so much and here in Brazil I am not able to eat it in any restaurant ! Thank you !
I agree, people dont realise and go crazy for Thai but I have always loved and preferred Viet cuisine, so underrated! As for season powder I never use any in my asian cooking and it turns out great. Fish sauce adds a lot of flavour.
This is the real bun cha Ha Noi. Man so yummy! I need to make this! I should have bought that grilling basket in VN when I went back a while back. But then again, I don't have a charcoal grill. Grilling on Charcoal is a must! It really really help make the meat taste better! U make me miss VN soo much!
oh. this is one of my most favourit Vietnamese food ever. I had started my first trip to Vietnam since 1995 and then intensively visiting places around the country. I have felt in love with Bun Cha that much that I must look for it every trip. Yummy yummy.😇😇😆😅☺😊
You are don't God's work, thank you so much for posting this! I'm hoping they sell Kohlrabi at my local market. Either way, excited to make this tonight
Heck yes it's one of the greatest things I've ever eaten. At my local Vietnamese restaurant, they tend to put the noodles, meat and fixings together in one bowl with the sauce on a separate bowl. Also, instead of grilled pork patties, they put chopped spring rolls instead. I would so kill for a bowl of this right now.
Your presentation at the end is so beautiful! This looks great! I like your voice it is calming and your instructions are so easy to follow. This looks easy and delicious, thank you.
Hi Helen, I went to Vietnamese Restaurant in NYC today, I really like those Grilled Rolled beef, you eat it with vermicelli, mint and lettuce and some pickles, she ask me to wrapped with rice paper first then dip into semi sweet tangy sauce. Can i use the same recipe to make the grilled beef? Thanks for spending your taping and posting all the delicious recipe!
You make it look so easy! Thanks for the recipe. I always crave Vietnamese food and never know how to make it the way my mother in law can! I'm going to give it a go. Keep up the good work :)
Hi Helen! Thank you for the very nice recipe! I've been watching this video for the past 4 days and finally I cooked it today! I am very happy that I came across this recipe!! A MUST HAVE. I will definitely make this again! Thank you very much! You were telling the truth! IT REALLY TASTES GOOD!
I love the Bun cha Hanoi served at Nhu Y in San Diego served with rice paper that you roll yourself. It's one of my favorite dishes EVER! Thank you Helen for sharing the recipe. I can't wait to try this!
Ahhh its called bun cha! I loved this growing up. my mom also made a variation of this with a green salad wrap thing. Im not sure what it is called but this vid gave me an idea on how to make
i love your videos helen, can you please make a video of vietnamese ingredients such as the different herbs you use and i will try and find it in our local vietnamese store
Sugar balances out the saltiness of the fish sauce and the sourness of the vinegar. It's not too sweet as you may think. Anyway, you can less the sugar in any step if you feel like to ;) Cooking is personal, you are the boss in your own kitchen ;)
yaaaaay! northern vietnamese cuisine!!! that caramel sauce is a really special technique that my parents don't even know about! can't wait to try this recipe out
Helen, I know you posted this video 8 years ago. I just stumbled upon this and gave it a try. IT TASTES ELECTRIFYING. Thank you so much for sharing! Love you.

It is about 10 years 😂 thank you for loving our foods.
I absolutely love this dish. In Czechia, there is a huge vietnamese community, so it is quite a common meal even for us.
@Thi Huynh yes, unless you live in the capital,you will probably not meet any black people in smaller cities/towns, but we have large vietnamese minorities in many towns 🙂 You will not meet vietnamese people maybe only in smaller villages or so

Vietnamese food is such a culinary treasure :)
I love bun cha ! oh my goodness. I am half german and half vietnamese. my mother comes from vietnam so she knows how to cook vietnamese dishes. I like pho and banh cuon a lot but bun cha is my absolute favourite
Nicole Brenk do you make it yourself?
I am chinese, you are beautiful...................just randomly commenting..........
Bun Cha ist einfach die besten, meine Eltern sind beide aus Vietnam gekommenen und wir leben jetzt in die Schweiz, in Zürich. Hier gibt es ganz viele Vietnamesis Restaurants aber sie sind ziemlich Saigon style
I made this following Helen's receipe and my family loves it!!! My wife told me it was eye popping delicious....and I didn't even do outdoor BBQ..just indoor pan fry..
That looks amazing! I love the sweet/sour/salty combination that Vietnamese food has. Thanks so much for sharing your recipes with us.
I just added the link in the description box. Check it out!
Thank you so much for your efforts to introduce Vietnamese culture and food to everyone all over the world. Vietnamese food is really wonderful but it isn't as well-known as Thai food or Chinese food. Proud of you
Helen I love your show. You always direct to the point not like most show I've watch so Thank you very much

That's brought back great memories of Hanoi. This was my favourite dish.
I lived in Hanoi for 4 years and Bun Cha for lunch is my favourite meal. Absolutely delicious.......

Thankyou thankyou thankyou.. We have just recently got back from Vietnam... And my husbands favourite was bun cha... and i havent been able to find a true viet recipe.... Thanks again... Cant wait to give it a go..!! We have been having cravings for it......
Your authentic recipes remind me of fond memories of Viet Nam.
Thank you for your inspiring videos!
Helen, you are young but very talent. You had help me to learn how to cook sereval Vietnamese dishes that I like to eat. Thanks for taking time to show them to us. How do you learn to cook like that!!!! Your Mom should be so proud!
I tried this recipe and I put in about 4 tbsp of caramel (melted sugar) instead of 2. Turned out great! Will be making this again! Thanks
I lived in Hanoi for 5 months last year and fell in love with this dish. Thank you very much for sharing the recipe ❤️. I will make this tonight 🍜
also my favourite Hanoi dish. I haven't made it at home but I've watched this video several times because I love both bun cha and the soothing sound of your voice !

Thank you Helen. I lived in Hanoi for several years and Bun Cha from a street stall for lunch is my favourite meal. Nothing else comes close.

Just back from Vietnam, best food I tried there! Definitly going to prepare this dish at home.
Very nice video that makes me want to eat this dish. You do an excellent job of explaining the steps. Well done and thank you!
I agree. 😊
simply easy to achieve. I'm glad i had most of the ingredients in the fridge. thanks for your insight!! well produced as well!!
You're very good cook Helen and i like your recipe, thanks for sharing!

Are you sure you're not confusing that with another vermicelli meal? It sounds more like you were eating a noodle salad bowl like bun thit nuong?
that's bún thịt nướng (like a noodle salad). The south version, this is the traditional dish in the north
Okay, just tried this stuff and christ is it amazing. Wow. You are THE BEST!
Helen, thank you for showing us different ways to make this, so simple to follow and you're too cute! Love love your videos!
Why does this have any thumbs down!? This looks freaking amazing and dipping everything in that sauce makes my mouth water. yummy 😋
Great to know you've cooked many of my dishes! Always happy to hear that
