Vietnamese 'Cha Ca' Turmeric & Dill Fish - Marion's Kitchen

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

I can quite honestly say this is one of the best Vietnamese fish recipes. 'Cha Ca' is one of Hanoi's most iconic dishes. Flavoured with turmeric, dill and served with rice noodles.

    @Marion - we used cat fish. The flesh holds better. We would wrap this in a "spring roll" style but with additional green herbs and condiments like basil, mint, cilantro, pickled onions/carrots, and some crushed peanuts! Wash all this down with some cold beer. HEAVEN.

    I do not usually look to seafood recipes that much, but from watching your videos I even feel like I want to try steamed or sauteed fish! I actually tried the steamed ginger soy fish last night and loved it. Next, I need to lug the mortar and pestle out of my car that I bought just from watching your videos AND waiting for my ingredients I ordered thru Amazon to make your chili oil, too! 😁 I need to start eating more healthy and stop being lazy about cooking so I love what I learn from your videos. Your presentation is awesome too- approachable, fun...and like so many others, I love your mom Noi! ❤️😁

    You have lacked one ingredient that plays an important part in creating a unique aroma and flavour for this dish: The Vietnamese shrimp Paste. It smells terrible but when combined with other ingredients, it will bring your dish to a whole new level.

    Suggestion! Crush some unsalted roasted peanuts to top the bowl - adds great flavor and crunch. That's how my family eats this dish There's something to be said about using bone-in catfish that's been cut into cross sections for this dish, not very bony overall and the meat just comes off in easy chunks. Super moist and tasty For the fish sauce dressing, here we typically add sambal oelek or chili garlic sauce (Huy Fong brand)

    I'd say it would be better to freeze the fish and then just defrost it when you want to add it to the marinade and cook it. I think the fish sauce and fresh herbs would affect the fish texture and be too salty if left for a long time.
