Vietnamese stir fried noodles with beef- “Pho Xao” Recipe + Video
Today I’m making Vietnamese stir fried noodles with beef aka Pho Xao in Vietnamese. This is a super delicious & popular dish made with tender cuts of flank steak beef and flavorful rice noodles.
This entire dish comes together in just 30 minutes. My parents like to cook the meat separate so that the meat doesn’t get overcooked and it retains all that juicy meat sauce! A couple key ingredients that really make this dish familiar for me is the Vietnamese soy sauce, Golden Mountain (its the bottle with green cap), Huy Fong Siracha (the iconic and the only Siracha you should be using), and Red Boat Fish Sauce.

Banh Mi Sandwich
Every year in during the first week of August we would take a trip to Carthage, MO for Marian Days which is a big pilgrimage & festival for tens of thousands Vietnamese American Roman Catholics. There would be dozens and dozens of tents from all over the US with food vendors and they would serve the BEST Vietnamese foods. One of the favorites for us kids were banh mi sandwiches.
A warm crispy baguette is filled with meat (usually pork), pate, cilantro, pickled carrots and daikon, jalepenos, and lightly slathered in mayo with a few dashes of Maggi! My favorite was always the BBQ pork (Xa Xiu).

Taro soup- Canh Khoai Môn Recipe- Dad’s Recipe
This taro soup is a homestyle comfort food that dad used to cook all the time at home when we were kids. Typically at our dinner table there was almost always a soup to accompany our meat/fish dish. This soup was always one of my favorites because of the soft, sweet, and unique taste and texture of the taro potatoes.
Extra Crispy Vietnamese Fish Sauce Chicken Wings- "Ga Chien Nuoc Mam" Air Fryer Recipe
These crispy air fried Vietnamese fish sauce chicken wings are savory and finger licking good! Nom Nom Nom…
If anyone knows me, I hate soggy wings, rather I like my wings crispy and dipped into a sauce. I adapted my parents recipe to be a more of a dry oil rub served with a fish dipping sauce. Typically the dry rub is just dry ingredients, then it’s tossed in a honey/fish sauce glaze but today I’m cutting the sweetness and opting for something a little saltier and savory.
