25.01.2022 Dear our valued customers, Two special dishes this weekend saturday and sunday at Saigon Express 329 & 335 Elizabeth st North Hobart 1. Hu Tieu Nam Vang Phnom Penh Noodle soup (Kuy teav) (Rice Noodle with Pork and Seafood)... 2. Vietnamese Fermented Fish & Seafood Vermicelli Soup (Bun Mam) 1. Hu Tieu Nam Vang popular noodle dish in Saigon is an influence of a Chinese-Cambodian dish called Kuy Teav. It is also known as Phnom Penh Noodle Soup. The noodle soup consisting of rice noodles with pork stock and toppings. Topping include an assembly of pork meat, minced pork, quail egg and seafood. Hu Tieu is a popular meal in Cambodia, Southern Vietnam, Singapore, Thailand and other Southeast Asian countries. It can be found at marketplace stalls, roadside vendors, restaurants across the country, and is highly regarded for its clear and soothing broth and dazzling array of herbs, aromatics and other garnishes and condiments. 2. Vietnamese Fermented Fish & Seafood Vermicelli Soup (Bun Mam) It's not surprising that not many Vietnamese restaurants serve Bún Mm. The smell is incredibly pungent but taste like heaven. Bún Mm is a far cry from Ph. A typical bowl of Bún Mm includes rice vermicelli noodles, egg plant, shrimp, squid, crispy pork belly and flaky white fish. It is often served with a plentiful platter of crunchy vegetables and Vietnamese herbs, limes and fresh chilies. What makes Bún Mm stand out from all the other Vietnamese noodle dishes is the broth. The broth is murky, salty and flavored with the granddaddy of all Vietnamese condiments, fermented fish. The use of fermented fish to flavor the broth in this noodle dish can melt paint off walls if you are not accustomed to it. Even I, a full-fledged Vietnamese, can take a second or two to get used to the smell. But once you get passed the smell, the taste is packed with umami flavor and it simply works.

24.01.2022 Special this weekend : Vietnamese Shrimp & Crab Thick Noodle Soup (Banh Canh Tom Cua) Banh Canh Tom Cua is an orange-colored thick Vietnamese noodle soup that consists of thick and round noodles, whole shrimp and half crab, pork scotch, mushroom, blood cube, vietnamese pork ham topped with fresh cilantro and spring onion. The stock in this Banh Canh recipe is made from pork bones and thickened with a tapioca starch slurry. The orange color traditionally comes from the crab r...oe and guts, otherwise known as crab tomalley. Saigon express 329 & 335 Elizabeth st north hobart , 03 6231 6115

21.01.2022 Char siu fried rice anyone? I have quite a few people asking me about my BBQ PORK CHAR SIU Moist, pack with flavor and a sweet glazed covered all over. ... Simple but delicious Recipe below: 3-4 lbs meat( butt roast or country style ribs. Cut 1x2 thick 5-6 inches long) 1 pk Chinese bbq char siu seasoning mix 1/4 cup char siu sauce (Lee kum kee brand) 1 cup water 2 tablespoon minced garlic 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce Mix all ingredients well together. Put meat in and marinate. Marinate 6-12 hrs. Or overnight in the fridge. 1/4 cup char siu sauce for later use. 1Put parchment paper on the baking pan. 2Put baking rack on top of pan. 3Place meat on the rack. If you don’t have the baking rack. Just place meat on the top of parchment paper. Do not use foil wrap. It will burn because of the sugar in the sauce. 4Place meat on the middle rack in the oven. 5Bake for 40 minutes at 180 degree C. 20 minutes on each side. 6Take meat rack out. Brush char siu sauce on the meat. Put back in the oven. Bake on broil for 5-7 minutes. 7Take out and brush char siu again on the other side. Broil for another 5-7 minute.

11.01.2022 Sharing another marinate recipe. Some of the ingredients in my all purpose marinate recipe might not be available in your area. The ingredients in this marinate can be found easier in coles or Woolworths supermarkets. SPICY LEMON GRASS PORK CHOP. Recipe: 6 pieces pork chop. About 2-3 lbs. Will also work with chicken or beef.
