Wow ..make me hungry ..I want to eat your buncha
This dish is "awww-some"😎👍
Great
Final presentation is a bit lacking.
You may want to seasoning the meat before making sauce and noodle
i see that this woman is really well-wellformed regarding to Vietnamese cuisine ,it's expressed via the way she talked as well as the way she made very traditional dish of Vietnam.
This recipe is so GOOD! Just made it for a second time tonight. Its fresh, flavorful and just the perfect summer meal. I skipped the rice noodles and and just went salad and meat. Delicious. I will be making this again and again.
Absolutely delicious! Thank you for broadening my horizons and showing me something that was never on any menu I had. I made it and I am just amazed at how good it was.
Inaccurate recipe but ok..
This looks delicious-peko
Bun bun cha. Bun bun cha.
The only nit picky thing I would say is I like it better when everyone gets an individual bowl of fish sauce w/meat in it and you can dip the noodles and vegetables in it from the communal plate – much more slurpy. Also, my mom always taught me to serve the herbs whole and let everyone rip as they’re eating. If you pre rip them, they lose their fragrance, and oxidize/turn black. One exception is I’ll pre rip cilantro to take it down a notch. I’m not the hugest fan of it, but I know it needs to be in the mix to taste right.
Made it and felt it’s way too much baking soda. It tasted too processed
Best sauce I’ve ever tasted. Thank you Chef! What is the fat % that we need to buy for the pork?
The ATK recipe for the meat pattie seasoning is very basic, no soul to the dish. For Bun Cha pattie seasoning it needs more ump to the meat: missing is the Oyster sauce, sesame oil, lemon grass, and some call for Maggi Soy sauce.
Love recipes without any sugar…glycation…sugar is toxic.
I am Vietnamese and I am living in Hanoi Capital so this dish " Bún Chả" is so popular. It is served with dipping sauce made from lemon, chilli, sugar, garlic, fresh water…..It is so delicious.❤
Baking soda to make meat juicy and brown evenly. I never knew!
Don't wear rings when you work with raw meat, for pete's sake. So insanitary.
Dinner tonight🙏🏽
I'm 100% saving this to my recipe folder to try out later, Vietnamese food is so delicious! Great episode
what a great one plate lunch/dinner for the summer; what wine or beer would go with this?
I am vietnamese and i love ATK so i approve.
What is the function of baking soda in the meat? Thanks
