I have searched all over the web for recipes for Vietnamese food. You have provided the best options I can find and a great way to learn pronunciations as well as a wide variety of Vietnamese food that one may not find in a restaurant. I love what you are doing and hope that you one day can be seen on TV!
MY favourite ! My mum used to make it all the time because i loved it. Pineapple is the best with it. The tomato, chilli, sweetness… amazing dish
Canh chua ca kho to yummm , I am so glad she add the fried garlic at the end, I make mine oily garlic so it sizzles on top of the soup. Although no one asked me, I use less sugar water and add 100% pineapple juice.
When I made this I used catfish heads instead catfish steaks. It turned out to be delicious and made me want to learn more about Vietnamese food and cooking methods. I'm in love with Vietnamese food.

I have never made this soup myself but it’s my favorite! When I found your video I had the courage to make this (twice already!) using your recipe and it has turned out soooo delicious! Thankyou for sharing all of your delicious recipes Helen!
Delicious recipe Helen, thank you! I made this for my Vietnamese dad, and he said it 'tasted just like home'! Your clear instructions and descriptions helped me accomplish this for the first time with flying colors. Bravo! I look forward to trying another recipes of yours soon...
Your English it perfect ,better than me and I immigrated to US back in 1979. Love your show keep up the good work...Thanks.
Omg thank you Helen for showing me how to make this. I havent really had it much since my mom died when I was young. I think my dad was lazy to make it and now that I know how I can try to make it! :) Thanks a lot!

Great Vietnamese comfort food. We also use shrimp instead of fish sometimes.
Thank you for the recipe! Hubby said it tasted better than his mom’s canh chua and that says a lot! The fried garlic at the end was what enhanced the flavor as well!!!

Helen's Recipes (Vietnamese Food)
So happy to see this recipe! I've always made sour soups using a packet -- so much salt! This recipe gives me confidence to use tamarind paste instead :)
I enjoy watching your videos.I show it to all my friends. It's the real stuff!
Cam on chi rac nhieu! Canh cua ca is one of my favourite vietnamese dishes, drooling all over the place!!! Ughhhhhh im stuck at work... you know what?! going to take free from work now to make this... BYEEeeeeeeeeee
Your Great Helen. You blow me away how well you cook so many dishes and they are all excellent and your so young. You cook like a pro. I fell in luv with Tamarind and fish years ago and every time I see fish prepared this way my mouth starts to water. You make cooking look easy and I love hearing you describe what your doing. It is fun to hear what the meal costs to make as well. Cost is important to meal planning. KEEP the Recipes coming. Peace Girl, you Rock.
Best Canh Chua Helen. I Made it and my husband really likes it.
This looks so flavorful, colorful, and full of textures! I will make it the next time I drive two hours and spend over $20 on all the ingredients, lol. Thanks for your Vietnamese food recipes!
I like your chanel and your videos, and voice. I just made my first Ca Ri Ga after watching your videos
This is my favorite because I cant get enough of it.
My mom makes a very similar dish to this one. Next time when I try to replicate it I'll add the fried garlic oil ;) Thank you so much for the amazing amazing recipes!
OMGG I REALLY LOVE THIS RECIPE GONNA TRY IT OUT WHEN I'M BACK IN GERMANY !!!! SUPPPORT U ALOT PLEASE KEEP THE WORK UP
Thank u for taking the time to show us men how to cook.

Chi oi, I just wanna say thanks for bringing out the love for cooking in me. I've been watching ur videos since the very first days and I can see the efforts you put in them. Thank you again and pls keep up ur good work. Love from Australia x
This looks so fab. You make it look easy.
The fresh pineapples are also my favorite in the soup. I always try to get to them first. LOL! Helen has a bun rhieu recipe up on her channel. I forget if it's done in Vietnamese with English subtitles or not, though. I think it is, but it's doable if you don't understand Vietnamese since you can print up the recipe and just follow along with what she's doing in the video. :)
I'm very glad to hear that ^^
Great video. Thank you. I’m making this today.
Thanks Helen, you are very helpful, I made this with ca kho to and it turned out amazing.
This made me hungry and I just ate
Thanks for the instructions. I'm going to attempt to make it this weekend.
Gracias helena muy rica tu receta.
I'm so glad you posted this. I've been waiting for this recipe :-) thanks for your great videos!

For me, I usually have standard pantry items on hand like garlic and shallots. Everything else at my Asian supermarket costs around $2 except the fish. Overall around $25 for the first batch. I always end up with way too much extra vegetables/fruits, enough for 1-2 more batches, so this lowers the cost of the recipe to just $15 to account for the need to buy more fish. I cook with salmon, which is more expensive than catfish. I'd say overall it's 1/3 the cost of restaurant takeout.
im going to try and make this next week when i come back from vacation.
Wow growing up we grew elephant ears as decorative plants. I never knew you could eat them!
Thanks so much for canh ca, it 's delicious
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! One of my absolutely favourite dishes!
You can also add fish eggs for extra flavour

You're pretty as well as talented, love the recipes
Very interesting .Thanks
Helen~ I tried this! VERY delicious!!!
Fantastic video!!!
Very good recipe, however, when preparing it My wife and I did two modifications: we use wild caught salmon instead of the cat fish and we use fresh lime juice instead of the tamarin paste. The result was also very nice. Hope it does not change much the traditional scope of the dish.
Man, you make it look so easy,
Great!!! Hope you will try other dishes as well :)
