Stir-Fried Beef & Potatoes (Bo Xao Khoai Tay) is a dish often cooked in the home, and not always on the menu at most Vietnamese restaurants. If it’s on the menu, don’t sit on it! It’s so much more than it seems!
Vietnamese Pork Noodle Soup
First of all, this is only a very loose interpretation of a Vietnamese Pork Noodle Soup. And no, it’s not Pho and not based on Pho.

Shortcut Pho Ga Instant Pot or Stove-top
Thanksgiving is just around the corner, so I decided to make a Shortcut Pho Ga. And now, I’m sure you’re wondering, “What on this side of heaven does Pho Ga have to do with the Great American Turkey Day?” Ahem. Thanksgiving, that is.
Cà Ri Gà Vietnamese Chicken Curry

A few years back, I posted a phenomenal recipe for Pho Ga, Chicken Pho, just for her and I have a Shortcut Pho Ga Tay on my site, too, that can be made with turkey or chicken. Me, I’m all about the Cà Ri Gà Vietnamese Chicken Curry. I mean really all about it! I crave it!
