Vietnamese Sugar Cured Beef Salad

Wed, 26 Jun 2002 19:43:59 -0400

A Vietnamese family who own and run our local fish'n chip shop gave me this recipe. The beef takes up a beautiful flavour. Make sure you use fresh beef for the recipe. I prefer to use the rib eye fillet cut. It is easier for me to carve. A great summer dish for those hot, hot summer days. -- posted by Chrissyo

Leftover Roast Beef Spicy Salad

Wed, 08 Jan 2003 20:16:12 -0500

Had way too much of roast beef one time, and whipped this salad up to make up for the amount of meat I had consumed, and the lack of vegetables in a diet. It worked so well, I have started making extra roast beef, just so that I could have heaps of leftovers for this wonderful salad. -- posted by KitchenManiac

Sweet Chilli Prawn Cakes

Tue, 18 Mar 2003 20:02:20 -0500

These prawn cakes are a great appetizer or small finger food to serve with drinks. They can be made in huge batches, all shaped and kept in the freezer. And when you need them (which will be often), just take them out and shallow fry. It is ready to be served. Great for unexpected guest. -- posted by KitchenManiac

Fri, 04 Apr 2003 20:17:30 -0500

Found this recipe on Donna Hay's cookbook titled "dining". Fantastic recipe. Taste exactly like what I have eaten at thai restaurants in thailand and back home. Very authentic...and an extremely special sweet after a fantastic meal. -- posted by KitchenManiac

Lacquered Saigon Chicken on a Beer Can

Tue, 08 Apr 2003 20:13:14 -0400

This is a variation of the Vietnamese lacquered chicken. When properly prepared, the bird will have crackling crisp, mahogany-colored skin that shines like Asian lacquer. -- posted by Tish

Vietnamese use of fresh herbs, hot chiles, pickled vegetables, and a zesty dressing. This recipe refers to Pickled Carrot & Radishes, which makes 2 cups. Only 1/2 cup is needed here. (Eating Well, Summer 2003) -- posted by Enduring Gastronomy

Vietnamese Caramelized Chicken Marinade

Tue, 22 Nov 2005 15:11:39 -0500

This works just as well with pork. It's not overly sweet, but wonderfully different. Great grilled as well. If the fish sauce is too strong, replace a tablespoon of fish sauce with water. Prep time does not include marinade time. If you don;t want to marinade, just use it as a stir-fry sauce. -- posted by melting pot

Hue Chicken Salad Ga Bop

Tue, 02 May 2006 11:10:26 -0400

The two main ingredients in this recipe are the chicken, which must be juicy and cooked just right (the technique here for cooking the chicken is based on the Chinese method of submerging a whole bird in boiling water. This simple method produces moist, succulent chicken every single time), and the rau ram (Vietnamese Cilantro), which must be used liberally. This dish originated in Hue, the ancient imperial capital of Vietnam where ga bop is served as a snack with beer or as a side to chao ga (chicken rice soup) or with just a bowl of steamed rice! -- posted by ~Rita~

Adapted from Epicurious.com and originally published the June 2006 issue of Gourmet magazine. This Vietnamese-inspired salad combines sweet pineapple and fiery serrano with cooling cucumber. This is a great side for RiffRaff's Grilled Vietnamese Chicken (Recipe #170897). -- posted by ms_bold

Lorie's Vietnamese Salad, Hanoi Style

Fri, 24 Aug 2007 23:05:46 -0400

I got something like this recently at a local Vietnmese restaurant except they used shredded pork and grilled pork combined. It was light, yet filling, and perfect for warm weather. I bought my meatballs from the freezer section of my local Asian market, but you can make your own using any pho vien soup recipe that includes meatballs. In some ways this is like bun salads, but is arranged like a composed platter. TNT -- posted by Sue L

Mushroom and Shredded Chicken Salad

Mon, 22 Sep 2008 18:02:07 -0400

A quick to prepare Asian-influenced salad which could be served as a main course or a side dish, from 'tossed: 200 fast, fresh and fabulous salads'. If any of your mushrooms are particularly large, quarter them or chop them to an appropriate size. Ideal for making on a busy week-night with a takeaway - or take out - roasted chicken. BTW, 7 oz = 200g; 14 oz = 400g. The lime and soy dressing could be made in advance. -- posted by bluemoon downunder
