You are so adorable. Loved this presentation and have saved the recipe! I want to have a gumbo themed party & this is perfect timing. I will definitely use this recipe. I love that you used fish sauce, I have been using that and anchovies for so many things lately. Adds a great depth of flavor.
So glad you enjoyed watching Lisa! A gumbo-themed party sounds so fun -- let us know how it goes!
who deleted the good comments about soggy melons? how rude.
@@food52 You are so beautiful I'm in love
Perfect timing for a gumbo theme party. Lol this was written right before the lock down.
I watched a lot of seafood gumbo videos and referenced a bunch of recipes and this was the most helpful for me. Thanks!
Oh my goodness, this looks amazingly delicious!! Thank you so much!
I visited new Orleans in April last year. It was the most enchanting and beautiful places I have ever seen, the food, the culture, the architecture everything was perfect. I can't wait to go back
I'm so glad it isn't just me that clicked on this because I know I would very much enjoy watching her do just about anything. And also, gumbo is delicious.
She made a whole meal whilst looking like a snack 😘
I’ve been wanting to make gumbo for a while now too
Your Roux color is gorgeous and I love your technique and explanations.
That looks seriously amazing, I love me a good gumbo, and her voice is so soothing..
Let us know if you try it, Brandon!
great video, made my mouth watering!
Great Job w/ details and sharing Louisiana cooking! I'm also Vietnamese and was born in N.O. very nice to see how cultured and vietnamese influenced in your cooking! Stay blessed
Glad you enjoyed watching!
Holy crap, that looks amazing!
Amazing stuff. I'm bursting to try this.
Beautiful! The gumbo ain't half bad either 😍 Coming from South La. that is a great looking dish, thanks for sharing!
Loved her in Top Chef!
Just added this to my Favorites. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed watching, Norman! Let us know if you make Nini's recipe!
She was so happy when she said "I'm gonna make myself a bowl" 😄 I would have been happy too 😀
I really appreciate how much detail you are giving us each step of the way. Can't wait to try this recipe! Also, my secret ingredient is almost always fish sauce too!
Glad you enjoyed watching, Dave!
Wow! This looks absolutely amazing. I will definitely be trying this.
Let us know how it goes, Larry!
I loveeeeee Cajun and creole food but have always shied away from making them since I figured it was too hard. You made it seem so doable to make this seafood gumbo! I’m excited to try making it this week. I hope you’ll be making some more Cajun favorites for us soon!
Wonderful, can't wait make this!
Let us know how it goes, Asa!
Looks delicious 😋
Thank you!
Mad Gorgeous💯 Culinary skills on point
I’m watching and watching and waiting. Then you said you’re from New Orleans. I thought so. The Vietnamese twist of adding the sugar and fish sauce was a nice touch. I never thought of sweetness beyond that of the bell pepper or seafood. Your video was relaxing, insightful and very well produced.
Glad you enjoyed watching, Joseph!
I love Nini! That gumbo looks amazing. I hope she makes it all the way to the finals on Top Chef All Stars. It’d be cool to see if she could make Bánh Xèo or Bò Kho!
Thanks for the suggestions! Let us know if you try Nini's gumbo recipe!
Hi what your name I'm from California let's chat
Very legit presentation.
Aww...she's adorable! Yes, fish sauce makes everything taste better. :) I'd love to see if she knows how to make the stuff from The Boiling Crab as it's also owned by Vietnamese people. The seasoning they use on their seafood is to die for!
We agree -- fish sauce is great! Thanks for the suggestion!
Excellent calm method for doing your roux. This definitely looks like something I could make. Would love to see you make Bahn Xeo - one of my favorite Vietnamese dishes.
Thanks for the suggestion, Ed!
Actual seafood gumbo with only seafood Ill be looking to try this recipe!
This is a great video. Easy to follow and well-edited.
Glad you liked it!
@@food52 Yo tell homegirl I'm trying to holler.
I've never made Gumbo of any kind before, but this recipe will definitely be the first that I try!
Let us know how it goes, Chris!
great teaching!
Glad you enjoyed watching!
!!!! I’m from lake Charles Louisiana, I came here expecting an absolute disaster. That roux color is perfect, plenty of seasoning, okra isn’t slimy, most importantly, NO TOMATOES. Awesome awesome job.
Can we just take a moment to appreciate this amazing super human. Absolutely beautiful with culinary attributes
Congrats, Nini!!! I loved the fish sauce/umami tip. I like to add chili crisp after I add my veg to my roux. Great video!!! Your cannoli cousin!
Glad you enjoyed watching, Robert!
Thank goodness! Someone actually makes gumbo with Okra! I don't know how many recipes I see that don't.
Let us know if you try it!
I don't even eat seafood but she could get me to try anything once. Or twice. Or always!
I always bake my beans exactly for the reason that you explained. Heat consistency.
Look for Marcella Hazan recipe for a warm bean salad that incorporates hard boiled egg yolk, anchovy and finely diced onion.
It is complex and so delicious as a side dish.
I go on UA-cam to find music to listen to for work. I see Nini Nguyen from Top Chef in my recommendation to watch. I click on video.
I'm a simple human being.
I could go for sample right now.
Yummy!!!!!! 😳
Yeah shout out to Lafayette. Love potato salad in my gumbo. I’m definitely going to try this recipe.
Let us know how you like it, Rowdy!
I grew up in Houma, La; I also put potato salad in my gumbo.
Im definitely looking her up on Instagram😛
When you find it let me know please (thanks)
@@ghosttheone007 no luck dog
It’s @chefnininguyen
J.R. SURAT my man 👊
@@JRSURAT-fy8kn you the real mvp
Nini is the next food star
wonderful video!
Glad you liked it, James!
Nini was great! Would definitely love to see her do a traditional vietnamese Pho with beef, tendon, and all the good stuff :)
Glad you enjoyed watching, Tom! Thanks for the suggestion -- we'll see what we can do :)
I ❤️❤️❤️❤️ NiNi
I’m going for it! Love this video so much. How long should we roast the shells for?
Ten min got it
What size is the Staub Dutch oven? Thank you for posting this. You are a master chef, in my opinion.
How many quarts was the pot you used
Honestly, I was scrolling through my recommendations and stopped because she’s incredibly cute 😍.
chilled cooked chilled watched...
Some grounded dried shrimp will take to the next level.
What other food you can cook Nini ?
A) Great video!
B) What does filé actually taste like? I’ve had it as an alternative gumbo thickener when peeps didn’t want to use okra, but I’ve never seen it used as a seasoning. I’m picturing something like unsweetened root beer, but I don’t actually have any idea.
Herbal, kinda...like if root beer was tea instead of soda. o.o
She had me at “ Alright “
Please make chicken sausage gumbo! I am Canadian and I have never had gumbo before! Awesome!
Yum
I’d love to see the Vietnamese version of chicken soup! Seems like every culture has their own.
Thanks for the suggestion, Mike! We'll see what we can do!
This vid is really educational on several fronts, thanks! Just wondering, since I don’t use pulverized onion and garlic, would it change much if I leave them out given they’re in the dish in their fresh version? Thanks!
as a person from new orleans and a home cook. I'd say the fresh onion and garlic have a different taste/quality than the granulated. it really makes a difference in building up the flavors.
@@alyakim95 ok thanks, will have to see if I can get them then!
She had my heart when she broke out the crystals lol
Nini- Roux takes such a long time.
Isaac Troops- I can do it in 5 minutes
That's a Cajun roux. She's doing a traditionally Creole butter roux which will burn at those heat levels.
Not just Isaac Toups... i followed his advice, and i havent messed up a roux since. 5ish minutes every time.
Sam Clemmons ummmm what... Roux is roux plain and simple. There’s no “creole” roux or “Cajun” roux. It’s all the same. Equal parts fat and flour. What you use as fat is up to you. Butter is traditional. Some people use oil (which I hate). My family always used Lard or butter. And yes I’m Cajun (if you can’t tell by my last name) and a Chef.
If it takes you just 5 minutes to do a roux you’re doing it wrong
I know this vid is about a year old, but I would love to see you make Tuong Ot Xa 😍
This Seafood Gumbo recipe looks incredible. Can't wait to try it. A Vietnamese recipe I would like to see is Banh Xeo. It's my favorite thing on the menu at Vietnamese restaurants. I would also like to know what brand of fish sauce you use in your Seafood Gumbo recipe? Thanks Nini.
Thanks for the feedback, John -- we'll see what we can do!
@@food52 Thank you.
She's sooo pretty
OMGG I love you! Youve made making gumbo seem so calm lol compared to when I make it at home...there is a lot of yelling involved and stress haha
Let us know if you try Nini's recipe!
When you say equal parts of butter and flour, is that by weight or by volume?
It's by weight. When making gumbo, a roux is made to thicken the gumbo. A roux is a 1:1 mixture of flour and fat- in this case, butter. The longer you cook your roux, the darker and more intense the flavor. For gumbos, you're looking for a darker roux.
Came here just to learn how to pronounce Nguyen properly. My life now is complete
she is amazing to watch!
Glad you enjoyed Nini's tutorial, Alisha!
Hi I think your beautiful I'm from California let's chat I will give u my number
I'm in Love..........with the food
Crystal hot sauce is the best everyday hot sauce and i love it on shrimp poboys but i prefer tabasco in my gumbo
We ❤ Crystal's hot sauce too!
I really enjoyed watching this video. I would love it if you can make a video on how to make Pho using an Instant Pot. Let me more pacific, oxtail Pho.
Thanks for the suggestion, John -- we'll see what we can do!
Yes to representation! I love seeing ethnic people win. #vietpride
I have read 5hat the thickening power of flour decreases with the amount of browning of it……so a blonde roux with thicken more per ounce than a very dark roux….
that looks hella bomb.. imma have to try this recipe out (🤔 but those big green things with the wht lil balls in the middle look like okra.. yeah we gonna have to leave that out..)
Damn Nini! When you decide to get a food truck and head for Texas let us know!🤤👍
If you've got a good Etouffee recipe I'd love to see that too. Thanks again.
Thanks for the suggestion, John!
Well executed! You're clearly from Louisiana and your cooking techniques show it remarkably. Nice recipe. Yes, the fish pieces aren't exactly typical but it works and looks delicious. I'd like to see you make a Viet/Creole version of pho, a good banh mi, and your favorite salad.
Thanks for the suggestions -- glad you enjoyed watching!
Fncy Pntsz I’ll cook your Louisiana
@@BarackObama592 promises, promises.
She’s beautiful!
How comes I have never heard of Nini before? I've been missing out big time.
She was on Top Chef
OMG I want to jump in that pot!
Almost bit my phone trying to eat that gumbo!
😂😂😂
Dawg I'm a Vegan and still clicked this video. 😍
Great recipe. I’m so glad you mentioned your roots! The Vietnamese community doesn’t get enough credit for its impact on south Louisiana cuisine. Don’t know if you’re a baker, but I’d love to see a poboy/banh mi bread recipe.
Sorry for the creepsters in the comments. Food52, y’all need to moderate this section better.
Thanks for the suggestion! We're working on the comment moderation!
people saying Nini adding fish sauce is a nice little tip and a little of her Viet influence into the dish; lot's of southern food calls for Worcestershire sauce. among the many ingredients in Worcestershire sauce.....fish sauce! (anchovies extract). just a little food trivia for ya.
That's a good point -- thanks!
Wow, so interesting! I would love to see more dishes with her Vietnamese and her Louisiana (I'm assuming that's where she's from? Please correct me) roots :)
Thanks for the suggestion, Emaline!
Pretty
Jenna mai watch out 😍😍
Damn!!
my goodness girl
I'm grateful that fish sauce has comfortably made it in american style cooking, but I am tired of seeing fish sauce as the "special ingredient". And it's always the same phrase they use too, "the special ingredient is fish sauce for that extra umami flavor".
Let's just all agree fish sauce should be a stable household condiment and is the absolute superior condiment of all mankind.
Mike C allergic to seafood, plz help.
I’d love to watch you make some Vietnamese food. How about phō? Or banh mí?
Even before seeing the list, I knew the "surprising" ingredient would be fish sauce
h z wow racist much?
@@BarackObama592 Except it's true, fish sauce is the x factor in Vietnamese and Thai cooking.
BarackObama592 How is it racist? Fish sauce is fucking fire
@@BarackObama592 u dumb? Fish sauce is gives fat dose of depth of flavors. The anchovies of the east.
@@Amatersuful if you don’t see the blatant racism in their statement you are part of the problem.
Yeah I got a good scar on my left arm from learning to make roux. Geaux Tigers
Yikes, sounds painful! Thanks for sharing!
damn your make up makes me want to start making my cheeks rosey
Is it wrong to make gumbo without okra? Cause I love gumbo, but I can't stand okra...
Okra is what makes gumbo different from a soup or stew but no one is gonna call the cops on you. I have found that I prefer picked okra to regular cooked okra on the side.
Gumbo is the African word for okra.
You can leave out the okra and use filé powder instead. I heard it from Hank Williams. 😉
Nini Nguyen you are so so so so gorgeous 💐🌸💮🏵️🌹🥀🌺🌻🌼🌷
Seahorse tattoo! Awesome!
She added 1/2 tablespoon of sugar, not a 1/2 teaspoon
C'est trop difficile à comprendre quel dommage
