Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, mix the cabbage, shrimp, sweet and sour sauce, celery and carrots.

  2. Fill a small bowl with hot water. Dip rice wrappers one at a time into the water. Allow wrappers to soften, then remove from the water and drain. As wrappers are removed from the water, fill each with 2 tablespoons of the cabbage mixture. Roll the wrappers and chill covered until serving.

Fried Spring Rolls

Fried Spring Rolls - vietnamese recipe photo

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Prepare the sheet pans and soak the mushrooms:

    Set two sheet pans by the stove for you to transfer the meat and vegetables onto.

    Place the dried mushrooms into a medium bowl. Add enough hot water to cover the mushrooms. To make sure the mushrooms stay submerged, put a small plate or a smaller bowl into the bowl to push the mushrooms down.

    Let the mushrooms soak until the caps are softened, about 30 minutes. Remove the mushrooms from the bowl; trim off the stems and thinly slice the caps and set aside. You can reserve the soaking liquid and stems for mushroom stock to use another time.

    Prepare the sheet pans and soak the mushrooms:
  2. Slice and marinate the pork:

    Cut the pork against the grain into 1/4-inch thick 2 1/2 to 3-inch long matchsticks and put them into a medium bowl. Add the cornstarch, sugar, sesame oil, soy sauce, and wine, if using, and massage the ingredients into the pork, using your hands. Set aside to let marinate for 10 to 15 minutes.

    Slice and marinate the pork:
  3. Cook the pork:

    In large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons of oil. When hot, add the pork and toss to coat with oil.

    Cook, tossing occasionally, until the pork just turns white, about 2 minutes. Some browning is okay. Transfer the pork to one of the sheet pans and spread into a thin layer to cool, leaving space for the carrots.

    Cook the pork:
  4. Cook the carrots:

    In the same skillet used to cook the pork, add 1 1/2 teaspoons of oil, the carrots, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Cook, tossing often, until the carrots are just starting to wilt, about 1 minute. Transfer the carrots to the sheet pan with the pork, to let cool.

  5. Cook the napa cabbage:

    In the same skillet used to cook the carrots, add 1 tablespoon of oil, the napa cabbage, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Cook, tossing often, until the napa leaves wilt but the ribs still have some bite, 1-2 minutes. Don’t overcook the cabbage as it will get soggy. Transfer the cabbage to the second sheet pan and spread to a thin layer to let cool.

  6. Finish the filling and refrigerate:

    Once the pork and vegetables are at room temperature, combine them onto one sheet pan. Add the oyster sauce, mushrooms, scallions, and ginger and use tongs or your hands to toss to mix well. Spread the mixture out into an even layer and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour. The filling will be easier to work with once chilled.

    Finish the filling and refrigerate:
  7. Make the egg wash:

    In a small bowl whisk together the egg and 1 tablespoon water until thoroughly combined.

  8. Set up your wrapping station:

    Place a cutting board directly in front of you. Line two clean sheet pans with parchment paper and set to the side. Transfer half of the filling mixture into a bowl and return the remaining filling to the refrigerator.

    Open the package of wrappers and cover with plastic wrap or a slightly damp kitchen towel. Set the egg wash and a small brush (unless you’re using your finger) and a damp clean kitchen towel by the board.

  9. Wrap the spring rolls:

    Wrapping spring rolls is basically like wrapping burritos. Place one spring roll wrapper on the board in front of you with the corners facing 3, 6, 9 and 12 o’clock. Scoop a heaping tablespoonful of the filling about 2 inches above the corner closest to you. Form the filling into a 3-inch long horizontal log.

    Fold the corner of the wrapper closest to you over the filling, then pull it towards you so it’s taut. Roll the cylinder tightly towards the corner opposite of you in one complete rotation. Fold both the right and left sides of the wrapper over the filling. Try to keep the sides parallel. Roll the cylinder toward the opposite corner for about 2 more rotations. The shape in front of you should look like an open envelope.

    Using a pastry brush or your finger, brush the egg wash on the exposed corner and then tightly roll the cylinder up to the end of the wrapper to seal it. Set the spring roll aside on one of the prepared sheet pans.

    Repeat wrapping spring rolls until all of the filling and wrappers are used up—don’t forget the remaining filling in the fridge. Keep the assembled spring rolls covered with a sheet of plastic wrap or a damp, clean kitchen towel.

    Wrap the spring rolls:
  10. Prepare your fry station:

    Fit a sheet pan with a wire rack or line it with paper towels.

    Fill a medium Dutch oven or other small wide heavy pot with the remaining oil. Attach a deep-fry thermometer onto the side of the pot. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until the thermometer reads 375°F.

  11. Fry the spring rolls:

    Working in 3 or 4 batches, gently slide the spring rolls into the hot oil. Cook, stirring occasionally with a spider or large slotted spoon to make sure that all sides are cooking evenly, until the spring rolls are golden brown, 1 1/2-2 minutes. They will continue to darken when they come out of the oil so don’t let them get too dark.

    Keep an eye on the thermometer and adjust the heat as necessary to keep the oil between 350°F and 375°F. Let the oil come up to 375°F before cooking another batch. Repeat until all of the spring rolls are cooked.

Spicy Crab Spring Rolls - vietnamese recipe photo

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Shred crabmeat using 2 forks or a food processor.

  2. Combine crabmeat, mayonnaise, and Sriracha sauce in a small bowl.

  3. Add 2 inches hot water to a shallow bowl. Dip 1 rice paper wrapper into water to soften, about 3 seconds; transfer to a wooden cutting board or a clean, moist dish towel. Layer 1/4 each carrot, green onion, avocado, cucumber, and crabmeat mixture on bottom third of rice paper.

  4. Pull bottom of rice paper over filling; fold sides of wrapper in, using your fingers to prevent filling from spilling out sides. Continue rolling tightly to enclose filling. Place roll seam-side down on a plate. Repeat with remaining rice papers, carrot, green onion, avocado, cucumber, and crabmeat mixture.

Shrimp Spring Rolls with Peanut Sauce

Shrimp Spring Rolls with Peanut Sauce - vietnamese recipe photo

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Prepare your workspace:

    Fill a wide, shallow bowl, like a pasta bowl, with lukewarm water. Lightly wet the surface of a cutting board. This helps prevent the rice paper from sticking onto the board.

    Have all your ingredients prepped and arranged in bowls near your workspace. Brush a serving platter with a very light coating of sesame oil or neutral-flavored oil and place it near your work surface; the oil will help prevent the finished rolls from sticking to the platter.

  2. Soften the rice paper wrapper:

    Dip one of the rice paper wrappers into the water and swirl it around until the entire surface is evenly moistened (20 to 40 seconds or so). It should start to feel softened and malleable. If the rice paper rips or tears, you softened it for too long; discard and start again with a fresh wrapper.

  3. Arrange the vegetables and shrimp on the wrapper:

    Place the softened rice paper onto the wet board. Arrange some carrots, cucumbers, peppers and a few basil and mint leaves in a line about 1 inch away from the bottom edge of the wrapper. Line 3 pieces of shrimp about 1 1/2 inches above the vegetables.

    If you like, drizzle a little peanut sauce or sweet chili sauce over the ingredients at this point for some extra flavor.

  4. Wrap the spring rolls:

    Fold the bottom part of the rice paper wrapper over the vegetables. Continue rolling the everything toward the shrimp.

    Once you reach the shrimp, stop and fold the left and right sides of the wrapper toward the center. Continue rolling until you reach the top and form a roll.

    Place the finished spring roll on the platter. Repeat for the remaining spring rolls.

  5. Make the peanut dipping sauce:

    Mix together the peanut butter, tamari, rice vinegar, honey, lime juice, water, and salt. Taste, and adjust the seasonings to your taste. Transfer to a small bowl and place on the platter with the spring rolls.

  6. Serve the spring rolls:

    These rolls are best if served the day they are made. If not serving immediately, cover the platter with a slightly damp cloth and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Quick Chicken Pho

Quick Chicken Pho - vietnamese recipe photo

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Prepare the broth ingredients:

    Peel then slice the ginger into 4 or 5 coins. Smack with the flat side of a knife or meat mallet; set aside. Thinly slice the green parts of the green onion to yield 2 to 3 tablespoons; set aside for garnish. Cut the leftover sections into pinkie-finger lengths, bruise, then add to the ginger.

    Coarsely chop the leafy tops of the cilantro to yield 2 tablespoons; set aside for garnish. Set the remaining cilantro sprigs aside.

  2. Toast the broth ingredients:

    In a 3- to 4-quart (3 to 4 l) pot, toast the coriander seeds and clove over medium heat until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the ginger and green onion sections. Stir for about 30 seconds, until aromatic.

    Toast the broth ingredients:
  3. Add the broth and bring to a simmer:

    Slide the pot off heat, wait 15 seconds or so to briefly cool, then pour in the broth.

    Return the pot to the burner, then add the water, cilantro sprigs, chicken, and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then lower the heat to gently simmer.

    Add the broth and bring to a simmer:
  4. Remove the chicken from the broth once cooked:

    After 5 to 10 minutes of simmering, the chicken should be firm and cooked through (press on it and it should slightly yield).

    Remove the chicken from the broth once cooked:
  5. Simmer the broth:

    Continue to simmer the broth without the chicken for another 15 to 20 minutes (for a total of 30 minutes simmering time).

  6. Shred the chicken:

    Transfer the chicken to a bowl, flush with cold water to arrest the cooking, then drain. Let cool, then cut or shred into bite-size pieces. Cover loosely to prevent drying.

    If the chicken isn't quite cooked through when you begin to shred it, just split it into a few pieces and put it back in the broth for another few minutes until cooked through. The split pieces will quickly cook through.

    Shred the chicken:
  7. Soak the rice noodles:

    Soak the rice noodles in hot water until pliable and opaque. Drain, rinse, and set aside.

    Soak the rice noodles:
  8. Strain the broth:

    When the broth is done, pour it through a fine-mesh strainer positioned over a 2-quart (2-liter) pot; line the strainer with muslin for superclear broth. Discard the solids. You should have about 4 cups.

    Season with fish sauce and sugar (or maple syrup), if needed, to create a strong savory-sweet note.

    Strain the broth:
  9. Finish the pho:

    Bring the strained broth to a boil over high heat. Put the noodles in a noodle strainer or mesh sieve and dunk in the hot broth to heat and soften, 5 to 60 seconds. Lift the noodles from the pot and divide between the 2 bowls. [Emma's note: I didn't find it necessary to soften my noodles any further. I just added them to the bowls and poured the hot broth over top. However, dunking them in the broth would make them more flavorful!]

    Lower the heat to keep the broth hot while you arrange the chicken on top of the noodles and garnish with the chopped green onion, cilantro, and a sprinkling of pepper. Taste and adjust the broth’s saltiness one last time. Return the broth to a boil and ladle into the bowls. Enjoy with any extras, if you like.

    [Emma's note: I just left the broth at a low simmer during this last step, rather than bringing it to a boil again. I thought it was plenty hot!]

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Make the quick broth:

    Peel then slice the ginger into 6 to 8 coins. Smack the coins with the flat side of a knife to slightly crush, then set aside.

    Thinly slice the green parts of the green onion to yield 1/4 cup; set aside for garnish. Cut the leftover sections into pinkie-finger lengths, smack with the flat side of the knife, then add to the ginger.

    In a 4-quart pot, toast the star anise, cinnamon, and cloves over medium heat until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the ginger and green onion sections. Stir for 30 seconds, until aromatic. Slide the pot off the heat, wait about 15 seconds to cool a bit, then pour in the beef and chicken broths.

    Return the pot to the burner, then add the water and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then lower the heat to gently simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes.

    Make the quick broth:
  2. Strain the broth:

    When the broth is done, pour it through a fine-mesh strainer positioned over a 3-quart pot; discard the solids. You should have about 8 cups; if your yield is way off, add water to dilute or boil down to concentrate.

    Season the broth with fish sauce and sugar to create a strong savory-sweet note. Keep the broth warm over medium heat. If it comes to a boil, lower the heat and cover.

    Strain the broth:
  3. Cook the noodles:

    While the broth simmers, boil the noodles in a large pot of water for 5 to 7 minutes, until tender and chewy (or use package directions, if available). Drain, rinse under cold water to remove any lingering starch, then let drain well before dividing among 4 noodle soup bowls.

    Cook the noodles:
  4. Prep the beef and add-ins:

    In a bowl, combine the beef with the pepper, sugar, cornstarch, fish sauce, and soy sauce. Set the beef by the stove with the garlic, onion, green onion tops, and cilantro. Have any optional add-ins at the table.

  5. Cook the beef:

    Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Swirl in the 2 tablespoons oil. Add the garlic and onion. Once aromatic, about 30 seconds, push the aromatics to one side of the pan.

    Increase the heat to high and add the beef, spreading it out into a single layer. Let it cook, undisturbed, for about 1 minute. When the beef begins browning, use a spatula to flip and stir for 1 to 2 minutes, until it is still slightly rare.

    Cook the beef:
  6. Serve the pho:

    Divide the beef among the bowls. Garnish with green onion and cilantro. Sprinkle on some pepper. Re-taste the broth, make any adjustments, then bring to a boil and ladle into the bowls. Serve immediately.

    Invite guests to enjoy this like other pho noodle soup—using a two-handed approach to wield chopsticks and a soup spoon. They should include as many add-ins as they wish!

    Serve the pho:
