Doing The Cha Ca La Vong Cha-Cha.

Last night we had some friends over, and we made another of our favorite Hanoi dishes: Cha Ca La Vong. This is the specialty and sole dish of a famous restaurant in Hanoi called, fittingly enough, Cha Ca La Vong. Here's the post on my first visit.

 The dish features fish marinated in tumeric, ginger, fish sauce, and garlic then fried with green onions and fresh dill and served over rice noodles with lettuce, mint, cilantro, peanuts, chilies, and a lime/fish sauce dipping sauce. It came out extremely well, and we ate and drank until after midnight.

Our taste buds were dancing.

Peter,

I so enjoy Vietnamese food, love the flavors! Lucky me; I'm well stocked with fish sauce and have easy access to the fresh ingredients.

Thanks for sharing.
