How to Make Bun Cha (Vietnamese Grilled Pork Patties)

[@huanbui917]

i see that this woman is really well-wellformed regarding to Vietnamese cuisine ,it's expressed via the way she talked as well as the way she made very traditional dish of Vietnam.

[@infallibleblue]

I’m Vietnamese and I approve. Very fresh!

[@duyvu633]

I am Vietnamese and I am living in Hanoi Capital so this dish " Bún Chả" is so popular. It is served with dipping sauce made from lemon, chilli, sugar, garlic, fresh water.....It is so delicious.❤

[@jennahill6870]

This recipe is so GOOD! Just made it for a second time tonight. Its fresh, flavorful and just the perfect summer meal. I skipped the rice noodles and and just went salad and meat. Delicious. I will be making this again and again.

[@rick2tube]

Been an ATK fan for years...glad to see another Vietnamese dish on the show...keep it up!

[@lqkim9756]

I'm Vietnamese and I approve this yummy recipe!

[@SJ-yh2di]

The only nit picky thing I would say is I like it better when everyone gets an individual bowl of fish sauce w/meat in it and you can dip the noodles and vegetables in it from the communal plate - much more slurpy. Also, my mom always taught me to serve the herbs whole and let everyone rip as they’re eating. If you pre rip them, they lose their fragrance, and oxidize/turn black. One exception is I’ll pre rip cilantro to take it down a notch. I’m not the hugest fan of it, but I know it needs to be in the mix to taste right.

[@IamAvidity]

I'm 100% saving this to my recipe folder to try out later, Vietnamese food is so delicious! Great episode

[@ViRrOorR]

This is one of the better recipes. Super easy and delicious as hell

[@jujub4553]

My two OG faves together!

[@joebartone606]

I’ve learned SO much from you guys over the years, and this is one of my ATK Top Three go-to dishes (Keith’s White Ragout with pork, fennel and pappardelle and Becky’s Boeuf Bourguignon). THANK YOU!

[@ClassyJohn]

love that you guys present Vietnamese cuisine on this channel. As a vietnamese american, I approve! It looks really good!

[@austinonaustin6870]

Tried making this after seeing the video (as part of an episode posted earlier this year). WOW. This is a keeper of a recipe!

[@kcap2210]

Absolutely delicious! Thank you for broadening my horizons and showing me something that was never on any menu I had. I made it and I am just amazed at how good it was.

[@baotrinh3052]

Look authentic to me, a Vietnamese bun cha lover. But for the record tho, for that amount of nước chấm I would use like 20 chilies not just 1. I like them red, lmao.

[@benthere8051]

Your recipe for the nước chấm is very accurate. The chả really needs some lemongrass paste to be authentic, perhaps two tablespoons for the whole batch. Make sure it is a paste, otherwise it will be too fibrous. Process it with a mortar and pestle like you did with the Thai chilies.

[@friedchicken]

authenticity is hard to pin down. essentially authentic means differently in different regions. just look at barbeque. :) we don't do lemongrass for this sauce in our household from Hue, VN

[@adamshaw1112]

No lemongrass!!

[@benthere8051]

No lemongrass in the sauce, ever! Lemongrass is for the pork.

[@cardinals22]

@@benthere8051 that's what he said.. For the cha...

[@trinitas1286]

I live in Hanoi, have tasted the quintessential dishes of the North since I was a child and have never put lemongrass in bun cha or considered it the main food, so lucky. The noodle dish you recommend is probably from the South - Grilled pork vermicelli - Bun thit nuong. If you love Thailand, create your own with Thai spices, or at least name the dish properly. It's not okay when you get caught up in a very vague or even unrelated relationship.

[@calebrichter2590]

This is a total favorite of ours and we have it in a regular rotation.

[@Wendykim771]

American ladies you are amazing. You are the best chef you make me hungry. I am Vietnamese and don’t know how to make this yet

[@vayasalsa]

What a beautiful production of a wonderful meal. Many, many thanks!

[@amandasupak]

I've never heard of this but it looks so good!

[@gforcekaras]

Where have you've been girl?! vietcetera.com/en/the-story-behind-obamas-bun-cha

[@amandajayne6947]

I just love you 2, I'm from the UK and even though I have to do some measurement homework I still love every episode u guys do. Thank you x

[@cyrilefrancia7391]

In Vietnam, it has a soup. The soup is the best part. I hope there's a tutorial also on how to make its soup. Bun cha is my favorite food in Vietnam. ❤️ Btw, thanks for this video.

[@AzraelTAAOD]

I believe the soup is actually a copious amount of the nuoc cham they're making, but I could be wrong.

[@quanganhvu6791]

@@AzraelTAAOD yepp thats pretty much just large quantities of nuoc cham.

[@EricsonHerbas]

This is one of the best ATK cooking demos. Good editing done just right and easy to follow instructions. Most importantly thank you for adding culture and international flare. We need more of this especially in today’s world.

[@matthewwhittington-jk9ep]

A fabulous pork patty recpie.

[@robin212212]

what a great one plate lunch/dinner for the summer; what wine or beer would go with this?

[@kwaichangkang]

Any beer would be good with this dish.

[@loosilu]

I would serve a crisp IPA. Not one of hte really strong west coast ones, more like Sam Adams 60 minute. I think a light farmhouse ale would be really nice, or a California common such as Anchor Steam.

[@blueandbanana]

Best sauce I’ve ever tasted. Thank you Chef! What is the fat % that we need to buy for the pork?

[@humblepie37]

I would say at least 85% lean for the ground pork because the patties can get dry. I personally use 80% lean 20% fat.

[@blueandbanana]

L T Thank you LT.

[@kdngourmet]

What is the function of baking soda in the meat? Thanks

[@CDawg]

At ATK they usually add baking soda to raise the pH of the meat, which encourages browning (the Maillard reaction).

[@nickblopez]

I don't know when this was filmed but, it's funny that you're having more diverse recipes especially what's happening over at Bon Appétit.

[@tosht2515]

@Nick Lopez It's just coincidence. This was filmed in late 2018/early 2019 and originally aired July 2019. The videos are being uploaded in the same order as the TV series.

[@eyebeebak]

I am vietnamese and i love ATK so i approve.

[@thuylamury3118]

Thanks for share

[@Passionforfoodrecipes]

I'd ham it up with a food pun here..but I'd probably get *grilled!* *Bun* da *Cha.*

[@autumn7721]

You may want to seasoning the meat before making sauce and noodle

[@pharmtechlogistic2085]

Thx. The rice noodle in South East Asia they called it "mee foon"...

[@rudeboymon3177]

Never heard of this. Looks amazing

[@pankajevandutta4226]

Dinner tonight🙏🏽

[@LyndaNguyen-y7e]

if you arent able to use a grill can you add liquid smoke and airfry or broil instead

[@cookaburraaa]

"What are you making? It smells great!" "Bun Cha" "Buncha what?"

[@cyrilefrancia7391]

It's noodles with pork. bun = noodles cha = pork

[@janettekenos3674]

You two can do no wrong! I will be making this recipe this week for sure 💕

[@tracyb54]

I get so bummed, ATK has such great videos and recipes, but when I click the link I have to purchase something just to see the recipe. Would be nice if at least the recipes on the video were free

[@adamshaw1112]

You just have to have a pen and paper ready. She announces all the ingredients each time she adds it.

[@AzraelTAAOD]

If you look on google for "ATK " You can usually find it on kcet.org. www.kcet.org/shows/americas-test-kitchen-from-cooks-illustrated/recipe-vietnamese-grilled-pork-meatballs < There's the link for this one :)

[@stefli9294]

I saw this video back in March. I make this dish on a regular basis, my friends and neighbors won't stop asking when the next time I'll be making it. Well done ATK., and thanks for being a diverse cooking channel.

[@andrewtran9714]

This dish is "awww-some"😎👍

[@TimonAkunamatata26]

Yooooooooooooooooooo, I’d never thought I’d see a recipe like this. Extremely glad to see it

[@kasuriprince6394]

Great

[@blueandbanana]

Baking soda to make meat juicy and brown evenly. I never knew!

[@rand-san2095]

This actually seems more authentic than usual from ATK

[@kathieesaur]

this recipe is sooo cultured👏🏼

[@kimtran7288]

Looks very good 👍👍

[@NeonKue]

7:00 Whoa...that's a new scene transition

[@Coach2WinDoolittle]

The ATK recipe for the meat pattie seasoning is very basic, no soul to the dish. For Bun Cha pattie seasoning it needs more ump to the meat: missing is the Oyster sauce, sesame oil, lemon grass, and some call for Maggi Soy sauce.

[@gilligod]

Julia's eyelashes are rediculous 😎

[@jenifer34]

Thank you !

[@jellaltail2691]

Bun bun cha. Bun bun cha.

Where are the pickled daikon, carrots and green papaya?

[@christianhansen3292]

yummy.

[@RobertPeters4674]

YUM, yes please! 😋

[@MrDave_405]

Can you sub soy sauce for the fish sauce?

[@Obsidianone831]

I can tell you fish sauce and soy sauce taste completely different from each other even though both a salty. I don't think that sub would work. Definitely need the fish sauce.

[@justins4199]

It will not be the same! Fish sauce might stink to high heaven, but it's truly an amazing ingredient with a totally unique addition to dishes. One bottle is fairly cheap, and lasts for quite a long time.

[@-sstevens5444]

My thought also....

[@xliezelz]

No

[@adamshaw1112]

Unfortunately the flavor profile would be totally different. Fish Sauce adds a particular umami flavor to the sauce. Made from fermented and salted anchovies, the mouth feel is more pungent. Soy sauce is fermented soy bean. It hits the umami taste buds on a similar level, but the profile is 100% different

[@buddy77587]

Nice!

[@rumpple4skin976]

I want to make a whole bun cha these

[@MMMmyshawarma]

Keep the bib lettuce whole, just use them to put everything in it like a taco.

😋😋😋😋😋

[@Rudytube580]

Good video!! There's a good video of Anthony Bourdain eats "bun cha" with president Obama in Vietnam...and see how it's served/eaten.

[@adamshaw1112]

Awesome!

[@nobukograham7488]

Ground pork looks very pink almost like ground beef???

[@GypsyBrokenwings]

How about a Vietnamese sandwich?

[@minsungso4698]

Made it and felt it’s way too much baking soda. It tasted too processed

[@vudinhquang1669]

Bun Cha , Bun Nem , Pho Bo ... anything

[@Codiggity369]

The job of the other lady is say 'mmm-hmm' and occasionally make corny jokes.

[@AeroGold1]

Their format is always one person cooking and explaining the recipe to the other. Its been that way since the beginning when Chris Kimball was the "mmhmm" guy (until he left the company).

[@meizhou9279]

Or forced out

[@dusterfreebottom]

What happened to that farmhouse?

[@josephineroe8424]

That's used for Cook's Country. But the old one was swapped for a different farmhouse too

[@krs48]

What happened to the guy that used to stand there when they were cooking?

[@josephineroe8424]

He got a job as a doorman.

[@meizhou9279]

Oh, you mean the guy that created the company? The shareholders forced him out because he was old.

[@jungte115]

Oh god. No Karen

[@josephineroe8424]

Karen is an amazing term. Its definition keeps changing by the hour. Anyone you don't like is now a Karen.

Go away Ken

[@ManixT00]

Great episode, but the camera angles make it look like they're awkwardly right in each-other's faces

i love you guys but recently the mex asian international foods are not that great.

[@jessieong1369]

[@brihow24]

I would really like to see more BIPOC chefs and experts on this channel.

[@tosht2515]

@Brian Howard Once again you think what you're doing is activism. It's not.

[@davidwilliams7935]

So Julia Child had to be French?

[@sarahreitnour3188]

Brian, my understanding of your comment is that people should only learn about Asian food from people who are descendants from that continent or that ATK needs to be more diverse. I agree that we can learn from each other about other cultures, but if it were not for shows like this some people would not learn about the diverse food because of where they live. I can count on my one hand how many Vietnamese restaurants are in my area and I know that this dish is not served there so I would not know about this dish without ATK. What are your thoughts on how food should be shared with others?

[@-sstevens5444]

Ouch... [glass half empty] so perhaps teaching us to get out of our cooking comfort zone and experience other cultures. Or do feel that only Asian people can cook Asian food correctly? So sad.

[@beedawk]

I’m not offended by this. Get a grip guy and Put your good intentions to better use elsewhere 😆. (From a Vietnamese fan, keep it up ATK)

[@juliebrady2869]

Too bad I have to pay to access your recipe. Don’t have to do that with other cooking channels

[@josephineroe8424]

Just Google it. I always manage to find them.

[@jimmyc6066]

Actually, it isn't pork. It's either monkey or dog.

[@jeremywalker2776]

Correct, we usually use pork in Vietnam but a dog will do just fine.

[@carrothuy]

No it’s actually human meat. We set aside bigots like you for food. It’s one way to get rid of them.

[@benthere8051]

Not funny.

[@schmeebot7903]

@@carrothuy I laughed aloud! High five!

[@beedawk]

Jack Bishop and the tasting panel actually had monkey and dog at the bottom of the pack

[@bjones9942]

Most of the restaurants I would go to in Seattle used vinegar instead of lime juice, but they'd tell you they use lime juice at home. This is one of my favorite dishes, but I prefer the grilled chicken.
