Seafood Paella
Paella, a Valencian-Cataln word derived from the old French word papelle for “pan”. Paella is cooked on a specialized shallow pan and is a great party hosting dish. We often cook it over our BBQ grill in the backyard. You can cut and prepare all of your ingredients ahead of time and while cooking the dish, you can enjoy time talking/entertainig guests sipping over glasses of sangria.
Gỏi Cuốn (Vietnamese Fresh Spring Rolls)
This is such an excellent party dish! It’s very colorful appealing to the visual sense and yummy to the palette. You can be creative in terms of the vegetables that you supply. I like a variety of these especially during summer time when you get all these colorful carrots, peppers.
Nước Mắm Chấm (Vietnamese Dipping Sauce)
This is a very versatile sauce and used in many Vietnamese dishes such as spring rolls, summer rolls, crepes, etc. The sweetness and sourness of the sauce greatly enhances the vegetables and meat/seafood that this sauce is often served with. I can easily take spoonful of this wonderful sauce whenever I eat my spring rolls.
Phở (Vietnamese Beef Noodle Soup)
This is definitely the most representative dish of Vietnamese cuisine in the US. This dish originated in early 20th century in Northern Vietnam southeast of Hanoi in Nam Định Province. It was originally sold by vendors at dawn and dusk in on mobile kitchen in carrying poles (gánh phở). This might be the pre-food-truck era!!
Nước Lèo (Spicy Peanut Sauce)
This is an absolute must-have when you make Spring/Summer rolls. The smell of the freshly grounded peanuts (I always roast and grind my own) is just so aromatic for you peanut lovers.
