These dishes are some foods one might see at a traditional meal served in a Vietnamese home. Known as Cơm Nhà, the courses represent more than physical sustenance. In a typical Vietnamese household, mealtime is a cultural practice and often an important bonding opportunity to reaffirm family values and ties 🪢

This is Chef @nhatduuy’s version of Vietnamese home cooking. It was delicious and heartwarming to say the least and quite reminiscent of Vietnamese cuisine I’ve not eaten in years—far too many in fact. Much better, I got to share the meal with fellow foodie and friend @nowchowing before she departed for Chicago (Miss you already!) 🤗

1) Kho Quẹt Với Rau Củ Hấp – pork stewed in sticky fish sauce, served with steamed vegetables to dip

2a) Gỏi Rau Má Tôm Thịt – pennywort herb salad with shrimp and pork belly

2b) Mắm Chưng – steamed egg meat loaf with fermented fish sauce

2c) Side of pickled julienne carrots and daikon

3) Tôm Rang Ba Chỉ – caramelized shrimp and fatty pork with a shrimp-lemongrass chile oil dressing

4) Canh Dưa Leo Dồn Thịt – cucumber stuffed pork soup and fish sauce dip
