NEM CHUA – VIETNAMESE FERMENTED PORK/ BEEF Recipe is from my bestie @Tracey Le | JustlikeMoms 1 lb ground beef 1 bag of bi tuoi (cooked sliced pork skin, watch video to see what brand) 1 packet of nem chua seasoning (Lobo Brand) 4 thai chilis, minced 4 cloves of garlic, minced ¼ cup sugar GARNISH Thinly slides garlic Thinly sliced thai chili Vietnamese coriander 1. You need ¾ bag of bi tuoi (cooked pork skin). Soak in water for 10 mins. After 10 mins, rinse and drain… make sure to squeeze out any excess liquid on the last round of rinsing. Cut pork skin to make the strands sorter 2. In a mixing bowl, combine: 1 lb ground beef, minced garlic, minced thai chili, nem chua seasoning (silver bag included) and ¼ cup of sugar. Mix well. (note: if u don’t mix well, you will have brown spots on your nem chua) 3. Place meat mixture into a zip loc bag and roll it out evenly. Make sure to fill the corners of your Ziploc back with meat mixture. Roll it out to your desired thickness. Take the unfilled part of your Ziploc bag and wrap it around ur meat mixture. Remove as much as possible 4. Secure your Ziploc bag with tape to ensure it holds shape. Leave it flat on the counter with a heavy object; like a book, on top. Make sure the object is as wide as your ziplock bag. 5. Leave it to ferment on the counter for at least 7 days. 6. After 7 days, remove your nem chua from the ziploc bag and cut it into desired shape and size. 7. Now assemble each nem chua with: garlic slice, thai chili and Vietnamese coriander. Wrap it tightly with cling wrap (watch my video for clarification)

BANH CANH BROTH 6 lbs pork bone (pork riblets or spare ribs work as well) 1 large onion or 2 small, peeled 4 quarts water 1.5 TBSP salt CRAB MIXTURE ¼ cup anatto seed oil* 1 bulb minced garlic 1 shallot, minced 2x 14oz containers of frozen crab meat, strained* 2 tsp paprika * I used 2 containers of frozen crab meat because I wanted some as a topping and some inside my broth. * to make annatto seed oil, heat up 1 cup of oil (I used avocado oil) and 1 TBSP of annatto seed. Cook until oil starts to bubble/ boil and then immediately strain seeds out. Note: be careful not to burn this because the seeds will become bitter and so will your oil. This step does not take long so do not leave unattended. This is just for color so if you don’t care about your broth being red/ orange, you can skip this step. SLURRY/ THICKEN YOUR SOUP 1 cup cornstarch + 1 cup water, mix well ADDITIONAL INGREDIENTS Banh canh noodles Scallion, topping Cilantro, topping Fried shallots, topping Lime Sambal/ garlic chili paste Fish sauce, to season Salt, to season Sugar, to season Chicken boullion, to season MSG, to season INSTRUCTIONS 1. In a clean pot, add par boiled pork bones, 1 onion and 1.5 TBSP salt. Turn on heat and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat and simmer for ~1 hour. Note: during this process, you might get some foam, impurities that float to the top, make sure you skim this out. Doing this will allow your broth to be nice and clear 2. While your broth is simmering, make your crab mixture. Heat up ¼ cup of annatto seed oil and sauté minced garlic and shallots. Once fragrant, add your crab mixture and 2 tsp paprika. Sauté for 5-10 minutes. After 5-10 minutes, remove and set aside. Note: I used frozen crab but you can use any kind (canned crab, fresh crab, etc) 3. I am using large prawns/ shrimp so make sure to clean these accordingly. I like to cut off the antenna and legs. 4. By now, your broth should be done. Remove the onions and discard. Remove pork bones/ribs and reserve as a topping. Cook shrimp/ prawns in your broth and remove to serve as a topping later when you assemble your bowl. 5. Add ½ of your crab mixture into your pot and combine well. Reserve the other half as a topping. 6. Season your broth to your preference using fish sauce, salt, chicken bouillon, sugar and/or MSG. 7. Optional: you can eat banh canh with a watery broth or you can thicken. To thicken, combine 1 cup cornstarch and 1 cup water. Slowly pour this into your broth and watch it thicken. Note: you must do this when your broth is HOT to activate the thickener. 8. Once your broth is done assemble a bowl using: banh canh noodles, prawns/ shrimp, pork bones/ riblets, broth, crab mixture, chopped scallion, chopped cilantro, fried shallots, fresh lime juice and any other toppings you prefer.

Use the spine of ur knife and carefully bruise/ hit the stem of your lemongrass to release its’ aroma. You can also use 6 TBSP minced frozen lemongrass which is what I did. Note, if you are using minced lemongrass, your stew will have texture so if you don’t like that, then use lemongrass stalk. OR when serving, you can pour your stew thru a strainer to collect any minced lemongrass. ADDITIONAL INGREDIENTS 5 carrots, skinned and cut 1 inch Oil, for cooking Cornstarch slurry (2 TBSP cornstarch + 2 TBSP water) FOR SERVING: Noodles (I used rice noodles/ pho noodles0 French baguette/ crusty bread/ French roll Rice Chopped scallion Chopped cilantro Thinly sliced onions INSTRUCTIONS 1. Wash your chuck roast. Pat chuck roast dry. Cut chuck roast into large chunks. Place chuck roast into a large mixing bowl and season with: 3 TBSP minced garlic, 1 TBSP chicken bouillon, ½ TBSP salt, 3 TBSP fish sauce, 3 TBSP hoisin sauce and 1 oz (1/2 a bag) of bo kho seasoning. Combine well and marinate for 4 hours in the fridge or overnight for best results 2. After your beef is done marinating, turn on your INSTANT POT and put it on SAUTE mode. Wait for your INSTANT POT to say HOT. Once it says HOT, heat up some oil and saute 3 TBSP minced garlic. 3. When your garlic is fragrant, add 1 oz bo kho seasoning, 1/3 cup ketchup, 2 TBSP hoisin sauce and 6 stalks of lemongrass (6 TBSP minced lemongrass). Saute for 2-3 minutes. 4. After 2-3 minutes, add your marinated beef and saute for 5 minutes making sure to mix every so often. 5. After 5 minutes of sauting your beef, add 2 cans chicken broth, 1 can coco rico, 3 cups of hot water and 1 onion. Pressure cook for 25 minutes, NPR 10 minutes (NPR= natural pressure release) 6. After pressure cooking, add your carrots, cover and continue to pressure cook for 3 minutes. 7. Once your done pressure cooking, switch your instant pot over to saute mode add cornstarch slurry. This will slightly thicken up your stew. Your stew is done, assemble a bowl 8. You can serve with noodles, bread or rice. For your toppings, I like to use: chopped scallion, chopped cilantro and thinly sliced onions.
