Lettuce wraps make for a fresh burst of crunch and flavor, or spoon the stir-fry over rice. Look for fish sauce in your grocery store’s Asian foods section. Ingredients 4 teaspoons canola oil, divided 1/2 cup minced shallots 1/2 cup thinly sliced red bell pepper 4 teaspoons minced fresh garlic 1 pound ground chicken 2 […]
I consider this dish a modern Vietnamese cook’s interpretation of a classic. If you can find white sweet potatoes, use them–they’re drier and less sweet than their orange cousins, but traditional sweet potatoes will work just fine, too. Place the dipping sauce in a bowl surrounded by the lettuce and herbs so guests can build […]

Here, we start with big flavor from a good amount of curry paste and fish sauce, and we finish with fresh touches of cilantro and lime juice that amplify the taste […]

Try serving these with Cilantro Peanut Salad. Look for sustainable yellowfin tuna caught off the U.S. Pacific coast, or sub 1/2 pound cooked shrimp.
