    Look authentic to me, a Vietnamese bun cha lover. But for the record tho, for that amount of nước chấm I would use like 20 chilies not just 1. I like them red, lmao.

    The only nit picky thing I would say is I like it better when everyone gets an individual bowl of fish sauce w/meat in it and you can dip the noodles and vegetables in it from the communal plate - much more slurpy. Also, my mom always taught me to serve the herbs whole and let everyone rip as they’re eating. If you pre rip them, they lose their fragrance, and oxidize/turn black. One exception is I’ll pre rip cilantro to take it down a notch. I’m not the hugest fan of it, but I know it needs to be in the mix to taste right.

  • @benthere8051
    @benthere8051 4 ปีที่แล้ว +34

    Your recipe for the nước chấm is very accurate. The chả really needs some lemongrass paste to be authentic, perhaps two tablespoons for the whole batch. Make sure it is a paste, otherwise it will be too fibrous. Process it with a mortar and pestle like you did with the Thai chilies.

    • @friedchicken

      I live in Hanoi, have tasted the quintessential dishes of the North since I was a child and have never put lemongrass in bun cha or considered it the main food, so lucky. The noodle dish you recommend is probably from the South - Grilled pork vermicelli - Bun thit nuong.
      If you love Thailand, create your own with Thai spices, or at least name the dish properly.
      It's not okay when you get caught up in a very vague or even unrelated relationship.

    The ATK recipe for the meat pattie seasoning is very basic, no soul to the dish. For Bun Cha pattie seasoning it needs more ump to the meat: missing is the Oyster sauce, sesame oil, lemon grass, and some call for Maggi Soy sauce.

      Unfortunately the flavor profile would be totally different. Fish Sauce adds a particular umami flavor to the sauce. Made from fermented and salted anchovies, the mouth feel is more pungent. Soy sauce is fermented soy bean. It hits the umami taste buds on a similar level, but the profile is 100% different

      Brian, my understanding of your comment is that people should only learn about Asian food from people who are descendants from that continent or that ATK needs to be more diverse. I agree that we can learn from each other about other cultures, but if it were not for shows like this some people would not learn about the diverse food because of where they live. I can count on my one hand how many Vietnamese restaurants are in my area and I know that this dish is not served there so I would not know about this dish without ATK. What are your thoughts on how food should be shared with others?
