@itsangusnguyen: Chicken Nem Nướng for a Rice Wrap Dinner Party 🥬 One of my favourite ways to host friends! Set everything in the middle of the table and let everyone build their own fresh rice paper rolls. It’s interactive, colourful, and everyone gets exactly what they want. 🍗 Chicken Nem Nướng Ingredients (1 kg): • 1 kg lean ground chicken • 2 tbsp chicken bouillon • 1 tbsp ground black pepper • 2 tbsp tapioca starch (or cornstarch) • 1 head garlic, finely minced • 1 large onion, finely minced • 3 tbsp fish sauce • 4 tbsp sugar • ¼ cup nem nướng curing powder (Tusino brand) • ¾ tbsp baking soda • 2 tbsp neutral oil • ½ cup (120 mL) ice-cold water ***Can’t find nem nướng curing powder? No worries! Simply omit it, increase the fish sauce to 4 tbsp, and add 1 tsp five-spice powder. It won’t be traditional nem nướng, but it’ll still be incredibly juicy and delicious. Instructions: 1️⃣ Combine everything and mix vigorously for 4–5 minutes until the mixture becomes sticky and stringy. 2️⃣ Refrigerate for at least 1 hour (overnight is even better). 3️⃣ Shape into patties or onto skewers. 4️⃣ Grill over medium heat until cooked through and lightly charred, turning occasionally. 5️⃣ Optional: Brush with a little honey mixed with neutral oil during the final minute for a glossy finish. 🌶️ Spicy Marinated Tofu Ingredients: • 450–500 g extra-firm tofu • 2 tbsp sambal oelek • 2 tbsp sriracha • 1 tbsp Maggi seasoning • 1 tbsp honey • 3 Bird’s Eye chilies, finely minced • 1 tbsp neutral oil Instructions: 1️⃣ Press the tofu for 20–30 minutes and cut into batons. 2️⃣ Mix together the sambal, sriracha, Maggi, honey, chilies, and oil. 3️⃣ Marinate the tofu for at least 30 minutes. 4️⃣ Air fry at 390°F (200°C) for 12–15 minutes, or pan-fry until caramelized. Serve with: 🥬 Lettuce 🥒 Cucumber 🥭 Mango 🌿 Perilla, shiso, mint & cilantro 🍜 Rice vermicelli (bún) 🍚 Rice paper 🥣 Nước chấm for dipping Hosting doesn’t have to be complicated. A big platter of fresh ingredients, a few homemade proteins, and everyone gets to roll their own perfect bite. It’s one of my favourite ways to bring people together. ❤️ #VietnameseFood #RicePaperRolls #NemNuong #HomeCooking #DinnerParty
