Thịt Nướng | Vietnamese Grilled Pork Skewers
It’s summer time so you know it’s time to do some BBQ’s! I wanted to try something a little different so I made vietnamese grilled pork skewers! Never tried making skewers like this before…and using fresh lemongrass before but it was a hit! Perfect food to go with some alcohol too. I had to buy a big pork shoulder chunk and slice it thin manually, that was the worst part of this dish. Other than that, it was good!
Salted Turnip
I found this at Don Quijote the other day and got super excited, really happy to see them branching out and getting more obscure Chinese ingredients. I don’t think I have ever bought this before but I think I was taught how to make a pork hash patty long time ago with it from my mom. Here’s to me cooking to my roots!
Look! This is the first time I ever guessed Wordle on the first try! This was my go-to first word everyday. Now that it’s been used, I am so lost without my first word guess! Gotta keep up with my streak!
Jenney…that salted turnip is my fave ingredient when making JOOK !!!!
Oh wow! Never thought of that!! That would add the perfect salty and crunchy element!!!
nice wordle! love these mixed plates
Thanks Kat!!!
Today I’ll get it on 1st try too! Thank you!! I had been thinking of asking you what your start word is. Mine is crane
that skewer looks so ono!
Vicki,
Crane was a word way back in June 2023. I write down the words each day because sometimes some letters are used in a short time frame. I am waiting for ADIOS – but most of the time the most enjoyable wordle of the day are the hard ones – if solved.
Crane is a good one! I’m still lost without my good starting word lol.
That salted turnip is what I use when I make jook. It might be interesting to use it chopped up fine in fried rice.
Wordle! My go-to word is ADIOS. I average 4 tries so if I get in in 3, I feel pretty good. If I get it in 2, it is a rare and fantastic event. First try? No ADIOS yet!
Another salted turnip for jook!
Wow adious is a good one! I average 3-4 words too but I give myself a fright many times getting to guess 6 lol
Is that chung choi (sp)? Ex-father in law made it on Maui to sell at the store.
Yes it is! Wow homemade kine, never had the opportunity to try that!
LOL. My first word is ROUTE. My second word is DAILY.
Your skewer looks so yummy!!
These are great starting words! I wonder if they ever reuse words….
I used to use chung choi a lot in the old days. I used it to make pork hash, jook, steamed fish, and lots of other dishes. I still got some from years ago still in a bottle in my fridge. I don’t use it much anymore since my current wife is haole and doesn’t care for highly flavored Asian food.
I just made pork hash this past weekend! I definitely need to soak the Chung Choi overnight….so salty! But looking forward to using it more!!
