    Helen, thanks a lot! Your videos are so useful, especially for 2nd generation Vietnamese born outside of VN! They help keeping our VN culture alive!

    Chị toàn muối xổi ko hà, chứ muối kiểu truyền thống toàn bị hỏng hehe
    1 kg cải rửa sạch cắt bỏ vô hũ, thêm hành lá. Pha
    - 4 cups nước
    -1/2 cup dấm
    -1/3 cup đường
    -2 muổng cà phê muối .
    Cho lên bếp nấu sôi. Rồi đổ nồi nước sôi này vô hũ dưa cải. Để nguội rồi đậy nắp. Hôm sau ăn được lun :D

    love this girl, she is to the point, doesn't rambles like other cooks. Its so easy to follow her and the ingredients she uses are so simple, yet still delicious

  • @dtduong
    @dtduong 10 років тому +16

    This is one of my fav dishes to eat. My dad would make it every once in a while and I would get so excited. Now I can actually make it myself :)

  • @HelenRecipes
    @HelenRecipes  11 років тому +3

    Thanks Quizzle. I also moved away from home since 19 and I know what you mean when you say you miss the food. It happened the same to me. That's why I learned how to make all these dishes and share with everyone. I am glad you like them ^^

  • @HelenRecipes
    @HelenRecipes  12 років тому

    đun nước vừa sôi đổ vào hũ lun nên cải nó cũng chín sơ sơ rồi ấy em ah. Cách này chị ko biết có phản khoa học ko, hehe, nhưng mà ăn cũng ok lắm :D

  • @HelenRecipes
    @HelenRecipes  11 років тому

    Tuna is not a good choice for this recipe as it will become too chewy. You can sub with other white fish

  • @itsangel1539
    @itsangel1539 9 років тому +6

    Omg Helen, haha..
    I put the sugar in the oil and waited for it to caramelize but then later on it started to turn hard... Im so terrible! What did I do wrong?! Everyone on here could do it and I couldn't even do that! Haha

    • @HelenRecipes
      @HelenRecipes  9 років тому +2

      Julie Nguyen the caramelize could harden when it meets the fish, but that's ok. Just continue cooking and it will melt again

    • @itsangel1539
      @itsangel1539 9 років тому +1

      Helen's Recipes (Vietnamese Food) Ok thanks so much Helen, thats what I did and it turned out great! xx

    • @EtheriumSky
      @EtheriumSky 6 років тому

      I think you can add just a bit of lemon/lime to prevent it from hardening.

  • @lindahtran
    @lindahtran 12 років тому +1

    You should make some Canh Chua to go with Ca Kho. I like you're way you cook very easy to follow. Cam on you nhe.

    I'm Chinese born in Vietnam and had a lot of Vietnamese dishes growing up. This dish in particular, has brought back a lot of great memories of family vacations to Vung Tau when my siblings and I were young. I've made this twice and it's absolutely heavenly! Helen's recipes are very easy to follow - tried many of your recipes and they're all great. Thanks for sharing!

    Would it taste the same, better, or worse with a fillet of Salmon???

  • @swicheroo1
    @swicheroo1 9 років тому +2

    I love your videos! One thing I do is make the sauce with 3 tablespoons soy sauce and 2 tablespoons fish sauce. I don't know how I ended up doing this. I don't know how authentic it is (even though I'm Viet)...but it does add complexity!

  • @HelenRecipes
    @HelenRecipes  11 років тому

    yes you should wait a little bit longer (5 seconds longer maybe)

  • @HelenRecipes
    @HelenRecipes  12 років тому

    I have to look up dictionary to answer your question, Sophia! hihi Seriously I don't know the English name for many types of fish. You can make ca kho with many other kinds of fish, eg. snakehead fish: cá lóc, Goby / sleeper: cá bống; Carp: cá chép, Amur: cá trắm, Silurus/ yellow walking catfish: cá trê; keo fish (?? lol) cá kèo etc.

    Hey Helen, love your cooking. I used a version of your dau sot ca tomato sauce to make my snack house soup. It makes a brilliant soup broth. Have a great day!

  • @HelenRecipes
    @HelenRecipes  12 років тому

    -You should melt the sugar under low heat. Take off the heat if you see the color turning dark.
    -Tuna tends to turn chewy when you cook too long. If you use tuna, I suggest you put pineapple slices to make it tender (and also great flavor)

  • @HelenRecipes
    @HelenRecipes  12 років тому

    you are welcome! It 's ok if the caramel turns hard. It will melt again when we cook with the fish anyway :)

  • @HelenRecipes
    @HelenRecipes  12 років тому

    So glad to know you like my taste. I want to make lod chong too (che banh lot in Vietnamese) but I have trouble finding one of the ingredients (red limestone). If I manage to find it I will post a video :D Thanks for your request

  • @EtheriumSky
    @EtheriumSky 6 років тому

    Cam on nhieu, em oi! Tat ca ngon qua! But one question - even after marinating for 1hr and cooking nearly an hour too - the color of my fish and eggs (i did both Ca Kho & Trung Kho in one go heh) got darker as expected outside - but both the fish and eggs are still quite light colored inside. Just curious why? Every time i make this dish it always comes out like that. Tastes great, just curious about the color, i can never get it the same like restaurants in VN...

    Hi Helen! I recently moved 1,000 miles away from home for school and has been extremely homesick. I miss my mother's vietnamese cooking most of all, but through your videos I could have a little piece of home while being far away. I just want to thank you and let you know your videos brings me closer to my vietnamese roots, which I greatly appreciate.

    just made this... i used twice the sugar and fish sauce to have more of the sauce left after simmer. It tasted amazing after an hour of marinating. My gf is very picky when it comes to food, especially fish, and she loved this one. Thanks Helen.

    The table spoon looks like a dessert spoon. In Australia, a tablespoon is larger than that. So tea spoon holds 5ml/g dessert spoon 10ml/g and table spoon 15ml/g Will 5ml/g effect difference effect this recipe?

    This is the first time I've seen the ngoc mau made with oil and sugar, instead of oil and water. Does that different combination characterize a kho braise, compared to water-based caramel sauce bases? Thanks for spearheading the preservation of Vietnamese culinary traditions!
