Looking back to March five years ago, I joined Cookpad by chance after reading an email. Today, to remember the first dish I cooked—Bún chả cá thìa là—and to celebrate Cookpad’s 9th birthday, I’m making it again with a small change: I’m using chicken instead of pork ribs for a quicker cook. Since joining Cookpad and participating in many challenges, I feel my cooking skills have improved, I’ve created more delicious dishes, and my family enjoys a greater variety of meals. The kitchen is always warm, and the dining room is filled with compliments when everyone tastes something new and tasty! Now, let’s head to the kitchen and make “Chả cá thìa là,” a specialty from Da Nang!
