We're hosting a seven-course <b>Laque Duck Parlor</b> next Saturday, November 19th, the first of our dinner series.<br />
<br />
As it gets colder, we're moving from street food to sit-down dinners -- unique places that we’ll transform into our version of a Chinese banquet hall combined with a Vietnamese family-style meal, complete with red and gold decor, communal plates, and steaming soups served in red rimmed bowls.<br />

<strong>INSPIRATION</strong><br />
The Laque Duck Parlor was inspired by dishes we’re obsessed with, like Laque Duck, a Peking duck marinated in lime and fish sauce. We’re doing duck two ways: one more Vietnamese (Duck Confit Imperial Rolls, inspired by a soup dish) and Laque Duck Buns that gives a nod to it's Chinese roots with its highly coveted browned, crispy skin, which we achieve by using state-of-the-art technology (aka air compressors). Learn more about our process <a href="http://www.ricepaperscissors.com/post/12651630996/laque-duck">here</a>.<br />
Our Shrimp Chips, a requisite with Peking duck, were handmade using a three-day process involving some serious summer sun, typically done in Southeast Asia but something we’ve never seen in the States. Wok-Fired Chinese Long Beans is one of our favorite dishes to eat out and fight over with our friends (so much it’s necessary to order at least two). And as customary after a banquet, we’ll be serving dragon eyes, a fresh fruit similar to lychees, but smaller and sweeter.kshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01521670820010102873noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8527665080565634267.post-86881754002996243742011-11-14T00:59:00.001-08:002011-11-14T01:08:20.406-08:00Spotted: My DoppelgangerI was watching clips of Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations, and did a double take when I saw what looked like myself in the video.<br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">This
story pre-dates me having a car – for, if I did, we certainly would
not have ended up on the side of the road or, moments later, in the
back of a Cadillac Escalade. You see, it was the Divisadero Art Walk
and Valerie and I had decided to set up outside The Independent to sell Banh Xeo (vietnamese crepes) and Pho Ga (Chicken Pho) to comers
and goers, smokers and scalpers.</span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">After
booking a Zipcar, hustling out for groceries, and packing our Mazda
to the brim with portable stoves and little red stools, we were on
our way to the show. </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Our
fatal mistake came an hour and a half into our Zipcar rental when it
expired. Amidst loading coolers of chicken stock and securing quarts
of pancake batter, we were drained of time. Back at the Zipcar lot
we made an attempt to rent another car so we could get to our
destination, unload, and set up. Of the eleven Zipcars housed in the
Fell and Divisadero gas station, not a single vehicle was available.
None. What was worse, we only had two minutes to vacate our car.
With no safe place to stow our gear, we stashed it in the bed of
somebody else's unclaimed Zipcar pick up truck. </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">I
should probably mention that The Independent is a total of five
blocks from our respective houses, and two blocks from the Zipcar
lot. However, when you have a six ft table, two coolers, four
stoves, two stock pots, and a trail of little red stools those two blocks are unsurmountable.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Of
the options we reviewed, my favorites were: setting up in the Zipcar
lot under the gas station sign (excellent lighting), serving out of
the back the pick-up truck (whose renter still had not shown up to
claim his car), and getting Ubercab to take us and all our shit two
blocks to our destination (in their town car). Hailing a cab proved
futile as it was rush hour in a city with no cabs. And we were on
the wrong side of the street for Muni. </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
“<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Valerie,
I think we're gonna have to bum a ride.” I was half joking, half
desperate. </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">I
had bummed rides before, but only in Asia (and Mexico). Here, on my
home turf, I was pessimistic. Have you ever hitchhiked in San
Francisco before? So close to upper Haight, I was worried people
might get the wrong idea about me. Who gives rides to two girls <i>and
their</i> <i>kitchen </i>in San Francisco?!</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Not
surprisingly, Valerie found the answer. </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Turning
her eye towards the cars filling up at the gas station, she
approached the biggest load-bearing one she could find: a Cadillac
Escalade pick up truck. You'll have to ask her what was said between
them, but 40 seconds later Valerie had convinced the young couple to
give us and our kitchen a ride down the street. </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">I
was utterly floored by their generosity and kindness. The wife, I
assume (I'm embarrassed to say that I don't remember her name),
helped us to load everything into the back of the truck, even
rearranging her stuff to accommodate ours. She did not bat an
eyelash when there was a little spill in the bed of the car (“I've
got rags!” Valerie hollered). Who were these people? Sitting in
the back of their car I wondered, into what world of San Francisco
did I just stumble?</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">I
couldn't understand it. These were the type of people who had white
leather interiors, mini bottles of water, and scented wet wipes.
What the hell were they doing giving two girls and their stock pots a
ride? </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Throughout
my travels in Asia, I have always wished that I could experience the
same sense of discovery I feel abroad, here at home. Stranded, five
blocks from my house, I climbed into the gigantic car and navigated through tinted winows. </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Needless
to say we arrived in style.</span></div>

On Sunday, September 4th we'll be serving up breakfast banh mi sandwiches and Vietnamese coffee at Blue Bottle's kiosk in Hayes Valley from 10am-3pm.<br />
<br />
We've been eyeing this alleyway for years, and we're happy to announce we'll be setting up a shop next to their cool little garage/kiosk. Vien (Blue Bottle's barista trainer) <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/littleknock/status/95215869503877123">graciously showed us how</a> to make his version of Vietnamese coffee using their 17 ft. Ceiling blend (read more about his <a href="http://blogs.sfweekly.com/foodie/2010/03/blue_bottle_trying_to_develop.php">previous Viet coffee endeavors</a> on SFoodie). We'll be making it with the traditional Vietnamese filters to give you that nice full-bodied flavor with a hint of condensed milk.<br />

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.<br />
<br />
Katie's obsessed with the<strong> Butter Braised Sweet Corn and Dried Shrimp</strong> (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.<br />
<br />
I'm excited to cook <strong>Crab and Shrimp Rice Noodle Soup </strong>(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.<br />
Lastly, we're bringing a cult favorite from Hanoi: <strong>Pan-Seared Tumeric Fish with Dill</strong> (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.<br />
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. <strong>We're only doing a limited number of this dish, so make sure to pre-order it <a href="http://www.friedfishalley.eventbrite.com/">here</a> before our event.</strong><br />
<br />
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!<br />

<strong>We're very excited to announce that <a href="http://ricepaperscissors.tumblr.com/">Rice Paper Scissors</a> will be serving up banh mi sandwiches and more at <a href="http://www.mojobicyclecafe.com/">Mojo Cafe</a> every Thursday starting July 21st.</strong> In Vietnam, vendors build their notoriety selling the same street corner day in and day out -- and since we're a fleeting pop-up -- we wanted to create a regular spot where you can find us.<br />
<br />
<strong><a href="http://ricepaperscissors.tumblr.com/mojo">Our Thursday night menu</a> will feature three comforting and simple items: a bar snack, banh mi sandwich and a drink or dessert. </strong>Pop on over and grab a beer with lotus root chips or pick up a pork belly banh mi after work or before a show at <a href="http://www.theindependentsf.com/">The Independent</a>.<strong> Staying true to Mojo and Vietnam's bike culture, we offer free bike delivery for our banh mi sandwiches and more.</strong><br />

Why Mojo? We both made our home in and around Divisadero, holding our first Rice Paper Scissors brainstorm-sesh in that orange bicycle-cum-coffee-shop. We've also posted up outside The Independent to sell breakfast banh mi to the fun late night crowd. And we crave the Divisadero love, so we were so excited when Remy (Mojo's founder and resident Frenchie) invited us in.<br />

<em><a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.PatrickKawahara.com">Patrick Kawahara</a> </em><br />
You can still find us at our roving renegade restaurants, held in alleyways and warehouses once a month, but now you know where to get your weekly banh mi fix.<br />
<strong>Hope to see you at our grand opening July 21st (and hopefully every Thursday thereafter!)</strong><br />
In little red stools,<br />

<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">At last month's Rice Paper Scissors we visited </span><a href="http://ricepaperscissors.tumblr.com/post/4072232490/rice-paper-scissors-2-0"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Saigon</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">, now we're moving up to Central Vietnam for our third edition,</span><strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> going down Friday, May 13th, 6-10pm, somewhere in the Mission.</span></strong><br />
<strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></strong><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We're concentrating on Huế, the former imperial capital of Vietnam, which was ruled by the Nguyễn dynasty for over 100 years. Their food is characterized as being very particular and complex; a story goes that one emperor was so picky that he demanded to eat 50 different dishes, cooked by 50 chefs, and brought to him by 50 different servants.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We're not bringing 50 dishes, but we're still offering an ambitious menu of nine traditional Huế dishes. Because of it's former imperial influence, the cuisine is skews Chinese. (Katie's Chinese, so she's gonna bring. it. hard.)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Our menu includes Happy Pancakes (a Central version of the </span><a href="http://ofcoursemag.wordpress.com/2010/12/17/vietnamese-crepes-in-three-acts/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Vietnamese crepes</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">), Jellyfish Salad, and Bún bò Huế , the region's signature beef noodle soup. We're also bringing back water fern cakes and our signature banh mi sandwiches. </span><strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">See our full menu below.</span></strong><br />
<strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></strong><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And there's more! </span><strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We're very excited to offer a special limited dish: sticky rice stuffed quail, which is available only if you pre-order</span></strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">. It's crazy good, so head on over </span><a href="http://getyourquail.eventbrite.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">here</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> if you want to reserve your spot.

We set up in Arc Metalworks, a metal workshop in the Mission that had a roll-up garage door that reminded us of auto-shops in Vietnam. The rain finally stopped and we were blessed with the warmest day that’s hit SF in recent times – a perfect day for green papaya salad and coconut sorbet. Our restaurant was set-up with Christmas lights, little red stools and makeshift cardboard box tables outside the shop on 20th Street.</span><br />
<div style="color: #4f4f4f; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 15px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; word-wrap: break-word !important;"><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lj98x8sFyZ1qz8ddd.jpg" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;" width="535" /><br />
And you guys came! Over 200 folks came through in the span of three hours to enjoy our South Vietnamese feast: BBQ pork with homemade charcuterie and pate banh mis, mung bean sticky rice, and savory imperial rolls. We loved seeing groups of friends and families hanging out together on little red stools, squirting limes into their snail pho and lounging around until it got dark. We are so humbled.<img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lj991up9Mt1qz8ddd.jpg" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: px; padding-left: px; padding-right: px; padding-top: px;" width="535" /><br />
We served up an ambitious nine-item menu chock-full of our favorite dishes from Saigon and the Delta region, containing some of our fondest memories of Vietnamese food. Katie brought to the table the thousand-year-old egg dish, served with pickled shallots and silken tofu.<img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lj98qybfsL1qz8ddd.jpg" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: px; padding-left: px; padding-right: px; padding-top: px;" width="535" /><br />
It was a dish she became enamored with during her Vietnam trip – she fondly recalled seeing locals eating it with beers, so she ordered it by pointing to the other patrons (because she couldn’t speak Vietnamese). She loved it so much she had the waiter write down the dish for her underneath a drawing she made of it in her travel journal.</div><div style="color: #4f4f4f; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 15px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; word-wrap: break-word !important;">The banh beo (water fern cake) was something I grew up eating at family parties. Whenever it appeared on the buffet table, I was always the first to stuff my face with the small rice flour pancakes topped with dried shrimp, fried shallots, and green onions, sprinkled with a savory fish sauce concoction. It wasn’t unusual for my dad to order extra to accommodate my cravings.<br />

<br />
It's back!<br />
<br />
Our <b>second installment of Rice Paper Scissors is going down next Thursday, March 31st</b> at an industrial workshop in the Mission. It starts at <b>6pm and ends whenever you guys eat all the food</b> we made for you!<br />
<br />
Speaking of food, our menu is inspired by <b>Southern Vietnam,</b> so think bright colors, seafood, and lots of rice and fish sauce. We're cooking up dishes like <b>handmade pate and chacuterie banh mi, duck confit green papaya salad, and imperial rolls</b>. And for those who missed it last time, we're bringing back the snail pho (which sold out in less than an hour!)<br />
<br />
We've spent the last month brainstorming the next Rice Paper Scissors: asking tons of auto-shops of they'll stay open late for us (and receiving nice but solid 'no's), curating an exciting menu (including <b>thousand-year-old egg!</b>), and working with designers to make this pho-ny (funny, get it?) poster.<br />
<br />
Come for more Vietnamese street food, more Cambodian pop music, and more good times. Remember to follow us at <b>@kitchensidecar and @littleknock</b>; we're tweeting out the exact location on March 31st, the day of the event.<br />
<br />
Don't tweet? Don't fret - sign up for our email list and we'll slip you the address in your inbox.<br />

Oy! They are stamped with the KitchenSidecar logo (a blind contour piglette I drew) and will be used for <a href="http://thesundaysuppermenu.tumblr.com/">The Sunday Supper</a> - an underground dinner that I serve in Oakland. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-Mxmvaz_k1kw/TYobWzN8j_I/AAAAAAAACeY/5-hlk7uabKI/s1600/P1020174.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-Mxmvaz_k1kw/TYobWzN8j_I/AAAAAAAACeY/5-hlk7uabKI/s640/P1020174.JPG" width="535" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">The overall look of The Sunday Supper is changing these days, as we are hoping to move it from a small art gallery to a beautiful antique car showroom - very unconventional. However, the rustic farm-to-table look will remain intact. So far I've got brown butcher paper on the tables, mason jars for water, Heath Ceramics-esque dishware, and plywood runners down the middle of the table.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><br />
