Chicken Inspired by Com Suon
This recipe came about when I was missing my mom's cooking and video called her. It is inspired by com suon (Vietnamese grilled pork with rice) but is more simplified.
I replaced the traditional pork with chicken thigh because it's cheaper and was also what I had in the freezer. It's very simple, delicious and satisfied my craving for food from home!
I hope you'll try it out!

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prepare the chicken thigh by spreading it out flat onto a cutting board and poking small holes into the meat using a fork or the sharp point of a knife. Flip the chicken over and repeat.
- 2
In a bowl or Ziploc bag, add the ingredients for the marinade (all of the * ingredients) together and mix.
- 3
Add the chicken thigh to the marinade and massage the marinade into the chicken. Cover and let it sit in the fridge for 10 minutes. (Or you can cook immediately if you're in a rush/really hungry)
- 4
Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat and add the vegetable oil to the pan.
- 5
When the oil is heated, carefully place the chicken thigh onto the pan and cook until the bottom is a nice golden brown. (Since the seasoning sauce burns easily, try to keep the heat a bit on the lower side)
- 6
Once the bottom of the chicken is golden brown, flip over and cook the other side until it is golden brown.
- 7
Add rice, tomato, cucumber, and lettuce to a plate.
- 8
When the chicken is done cooking, place it on top of the hot rice.
- 9
Make a sunny side egg (or however you like it cooked) and put it on the plate as well.
- 10
Now, you're finished! You can drizzle on some Vietnamese dipping sauce if you want, but make sure to eat while it's still hot!

Viet-Inspired Tandoori Chicken Viet-Inspired Tandoori Chicken
Ever since I learned how to make Tandoori Chicken, I've been a big fan of using yogurt in chicken marinades. In the right proportions and marinating times, it subtly tenderizes the meat and enhances its natural flavor, texture, and juiciness without imparting yogurt flavor.This variation on Tandoori Chicken is inspired by the cuisine of my Little Asian Mama's people. ;)If you buy drums and thighs in your typical supermarket pre-pack, it's likely that your chicken pieces are on the bigger side and will require somewhere between 50 to 55 minutes. A great thing about the yogurt marinade is that it is quite forgiving, and you don't have to worry that the extra 5 minutes of roasting time just to be safe is going to dry out your bird.I like to serve the chicken sprinkled with chopped cilantro with a simple side salad of Spring Greens, mangoes if they're in season, and a quick raita made of equal parts hanh dam (Vietnamese quick pickled onions) and yogurt plus a good pinch of salt and chopped cilantro, which balances out the meal and ties the Viet-Indian fusion flavors together nicely.

Simple Chicken Ozoni (Mochi Soup) (Kanto Style) Simple Chicken Ozoni (Mochi Soup) (Kanto Style)
This tasty ozoni is light tasting, with a delightful chicken flavor. I created this by trying to recreate the ozoni my mother used to make.I highly recommend using bonito flakes, (rather than granules) for the dashi stock.If you prefer soft mochi, stew them in a bit of the broth.Select fatty chicken thigh for a richer and tastier broth.For digestive relief from overeating during New Year's celebrations, add a little grated daikon radish. For 2 servings. Recipe by Nuchigusui- -

Here is something I just tried on a whim. But it was so good, I would be remiss not to share. This is a medium difficulty recipe. It also requires fish sauce, don't substitute soy sauce or other sauce, the flavor profile is not the same. You will be rewarded with a great wing at the end.

Asian Inspired Scallop Crudo Asian Inspired Scallop Crudo
I love going to my local Japanese market to buy good quality fish. They sell sushi rolls, sashimi, and even uncut fish for you to buy!The quality is comparable to sushi restaurants, but you're paying less than half the price!!To make it taste like restaurant quality, it's all about the sauce and how you prepare it. This is one of my favorite recipes that will have you craving it weekly!!A box of 8pc scallop sashimi (sushi grade) was about $10!! So this is super affordable to make at home and the rest of the ingredients shouldn't cost you more than $10 especially if you have some at home already.I would not sub anything in this recipe except for habaneros, coconut flakes, olive oil, and chili oil. Those you can sub out or completely remove from this recipe.

Chopsuey Soup (Ho To Tai) Chopsuey Soup (Ho To Tai)
Chopsuey (chop or "tsap" means 10; and sui means vegetables) in Chinese Amoy dialect literally means "ten vegetables". It is basically a mix of sorts of vegetables easily available in the market with meat. while some say that it is a mix of leftover food. Either way, chopsuey is a stir fry of vegetables and meat. A few vegetables will do for this dish but I like keeping my Chopsuey true to its meaning: 10 different kinds of vegetables in one. The more the merrier (delicious and nutritious), right? :DHubby told me that the "old" chinese kitchen actually use innards instead of seafood or meat cuts when cooking chopsuey. Nah, it's not my type of plate.And.... my photo is not the best - again- because we end up eating the served dish before I got to take a proper picture. (T-T)

Vietnamese Chicken Loodoo Soup Vietnamese Chicken Loodoo Soup
About 30 some years ago, I was a bi-lingual aid working with pupils of 1st, 2nd and 3rd grades at Cook Elementary school in Garden Grove. There was a little girl that I don’t remember the name but I can still vividly remember her pretty and smiling face. She was a first grader. She used to say fi for five, ri for rice. And she said loodoo for noodles. No s at the end. I thought it was so cute. I tried to help her to say noodles correctly. But in a conversation, she would just forget and so noodles would be loodoo...with no s.Today, I don’t know why but I feel like to make some Vietnamese Chicken Loodoo Soup. I miss her.
