Hanoi is home to some of Vietnam's more treasured dishes: chicken pho and beef pho, the gateway dishes of Vietnamese cuisine. But since they're a staple in the Bay Area, we wanted to pay tribute to a few of our favorite (and perhaps lesser-known) Hanoi dishes.
Katie's obsessed with the Butter Braised Sweet Corn and Dried Shrimp (Bap Xao), the first Vietnamese street food item she ever tried. She recalls street vendors quickly sauteeing it up, mixing a simple combo of butter, corn, shrimp and chili with scallion oil to create the most succulent and tasty treat.
I'm excited to cook Crab and Shrimp Rice Noodle Soup (Bun Rieu), my first childhood food obsession. My grandma made me this tomato broth soup topped with chunks of ground crab and shrimp and served with rice noodles, fried tofu and Vietnamese herbs.
Lastly, we're bringing a cult favorite from Hanoi: Pan-Seared Tumeric Fish with Dill (Cha Ca). If there is one dish that sums up Hanoi, it is this sizzling hot pan of golden catfish. Born in a quiet alleyway in Hanoi, Cha Ca, or pan-seared tumeric fish, perfumed the air with it's heady mixture of tumeric, galangal, and dill. So well received was this pairing that it gave what is now known as Fried Fish Alley it namesake.
These days, many Hanoi restaurants serve up this simple yet addictive dish. However, none is more renowned than Cha Ca La Vong, which lists it as the solitary item on the menu. Despite its modest decor, hungry eaters brave death-by-motorbike to get down on this fish. Served on a bed of rice noodles and a generous sprinkling of peanuts, it is the only thing patrons need. That, and a cold beer to wash it down. We're only doing a limited number of this dish, so make sure to pre-order it here before our event.
It's awhile since our last pop-up, so we're excited to come back with our biggest menu yet (after the jump!) Join us as we bring truly distinctive Hanoi dishes to the streets of San Francisco!
In little red stools and rice paper,
Valerie + Katie
