Cooking My Favorite Vietnamese Dish

[@SayonaraPain.]

I’m from Vung Tau city, and I will recommend this place to you and your family when you come here to visit or for business. It’s called Bánh Khọt Cây Xoài - 110 Cô Giang st. It’s super delicious!!!

[@C_H_U_]

I’ve been there. Highly recommend 💯

[@SayonaraPain.]

@@C_H_U_ it’s way better than the Bánh Khọt Gốc Vú Sữa, which is too oily for me.

Mad props dude. I watched when you first started and I knew you’d blow up. Good editing

[@yeschefwithchadkubanoff]

[@squeento]

The wife and I just discovered you on KZbin....literally liked and subscribed today. Binging your videos today. You and your family look and feel like genuine peoples. Mahalo dude for the content & the constant giggles 🙏🤙🤙🤙👍

[@yeschefwithchadkubanoff]

Love to hear that, thank you

[@l.ignasio7326]

usually ppl gonna let the batter rest/fermented, u can actually cut corner by mixing some beer into the batter before u fry. The gas inside beer make cake buffer and more crispier when you fry in low heat with cover.

[@beaumiffle]

yes!! literally came here to tell him this too. BEER is the secret ingredient!!

[@nguyenvantai651]

Chad, your video upload frequency is amazing, you're really hardworking!

[@yeschefwithchadkubanoff]

Thank you, I’m definitely trying very hard lately

[@whitegoat1089]

I know that coconut lady. She squeezes coconut milk with coconut water, not regular water. And she was asking if you want nước dão, aka second pressed coconut milk. Nước dão is often used to make chè, because you can boil it to impair coconut flavor into the ingredients without having denatured it like with coconut milk. Edit: the yellow color of bánh khọt is from turmeric. Adding turmeric can enhance the rich flavor of dairy and coconut milk. I haven't tried on other plant based milks tho.

[@kuma9069]

Sounds like you inching closer to the "Heavenly Mix" there, Chef Chad !! I can’t wait for that moment. You mentioned requests: how about "banh cuong" 😋😋😋

[@lynnettespolitics9656]

So you pop up, I like a few of your videos, and then you say, "..it doesn't really matter..." and I'm sold!

[@UncleHoCM]

Tasting shopping and then cooking the dish, haven't seen this type of format/content before. Nice.

[@tidoluong5420]

I'm from Vung Tau and I will not have any other version of Banh Khot claiming to be superior 😂. Aside that great vid as always Chad

[@yeschefwithchadkubanoff]

🤣🤣, of course I’m joking nothing beats vung tau style 🤣🤣

[@mrkamazing]

Damn I'm Vietnamese and I don't even know what "khọt" means until now! Always thought it was a local slang or an old word. Never cared to look it up also. 😂 Bánh Khọt is one of those Vietnamese savory dishes that are quite calorically dense and easy to overindulge in, so always have it with lots of green to keep your appetite in check!

[@shnboardman1]

Within the first 2 minutes of all your videos I end up being starving, quality food and great videos

[@minhtrungle9117]

Fun fact, on that exact same street, right at the corner of Tôn Thất Thuyết St and Nguyễn Khoái St. (exact Google Maps coordinate is 10.753084, 106.695562) is what I consider to be the best wonton noodle soup in the entire city. It is a tiny family-owned noodle shop that has been running for at least 50 years. My grandfather ate there, my father ate there, and I grew up eating there. The soup and wonton are fantastic, it's cheap, it comes in 2 types of noodles made in-house (you can order both) and you order by how many handfuls of noodles you want (vắt mì, typically I order 3 for a standard bowl). The lady who ran it since I was a small child is still there last time I visited.

[@jasoncapecod]

love this style of content

[@Nanaoykj]

Cold batter does help it get more crispy. You could also maybe try something like a beer battered banh khot and see how that goes

[@hoalv21]

9:12 try to replace water with beer, you might get the crunchiness that you want

[@ujaku_]

I love this dish. Local spot makes an XL version that's like a little pancake with coconut cream and shrimp. The crispy edges 🤤 I cannot get enough of it

[@jcman-lp6lg]

Another "favorite" XD how many favorites do you have. Just goes to show how good Vietnamese cuisine is. Also can you please do more recipe of more obscure Vietnamese dishes? Would love to know more if you don't mind.

[@leannep.2022]

Hello Chad. Yes, I do agree with you. The best dish to enjoy at any occasion. ❤❤❤

[@isabelledoesmakeup]

Really enjoy this concept!

[@Jackin2002]

I love bánh Khot! Thanks for the video Chad!!! Love your videos! Looking forward to a trip to VN!!!

[@michellereilly4626]

This is one of my favorite dishes. I definitely enjoy you going to the street having it at the restaurant and then coming back and cooking it. I think when you try it next time with the more cornstarch that’s gonna make the difference.

[@ManhKhangNgo]

My home town is in Cần Thơ city, and the way the make bánh khọt, may not have shrimp, may not have pork, but it has to have mung bean and some thick coconut milk in the middle. I used to make it with my family, the steps were: pork fat > batter > coconut milk > mung bean > pork or shrimp, so if you add those ingredients it would bring even more to it

[@angryashell100]

There's a very popular spot in d4. If you're heading towards d7 on Khan Hoi st. Turn left on So 41. It's on the left before the street ends. They do banh khot with pork floss and drizzle coconut milk. They do great banh xeo. The other go to spot is near Turtle Lake in d3. Co ba vung tau. Those are my 2 spots. Have to have banh khot Tom at least once a week. It's an overlooked vietnamese treat. Probably my favorite dish. Either it or Mi Quang. Enjoy your videos. Thanks

[@oTreeni]

I love when my mom makes banh khot. I might ask her to come over tomorrow to make it for me!

[@thatcookbookchannel]

Yeah! I miss that D10 lady too! So gooood.

[@yeschefwithchadkubanoff]

@@thatcookbookchannel can’t beat her

[@noflexzone6170]

You can add a little tapioca flour. Add a tsp of oil to the batter. Use ice cold water. Stir the batter with chopsticks but not too much. It's fine to have clumps. Blending adds air which we don't want. Sorta like pancakes. Once mixing the batter, use to cook within 20 mins. If you let it sit, you get a soft and tender product instead and we are after crispness. You can try using coconut cream instead of coconut milk (higher fat content tho) No need to season the shrimp because that adds too much moisture and you're already dipping in the nuoc mam dipping sauce which has the salt 🤷‍♂

[@SUNNYSTARSCOUT365]

Love Bánh Xèo and Bánh Khọt 😋😋😋😋

[@yeschefwithchadkubanoff]

@@SUNNYSTARSCOUT365 so good

[@tsunekakou1275]

i love this thing, man. looking so good

[@dariuta]

I’m not sure if you know or not but after you pour the batter into the cup you’re supposed to scoop out a little bit of it to make room for your ingredients like the pork and shrimp. Otherwise it will over flow and you can’t control the batter and get that nice shape.

[@Screwdriver346]

That’s what I love about Vietnam. You can fresh coconut for cheap. Everything is a snap of a finger.

[@blackknightz5036]

Fun fact about Banh Khot, it also have a vegetarian version Ps: 3:14 i feel this, there's this one place selling Pha Lau and i've been eaten at that place since i was a student til even i'm a working adult, after the covid wave hit HCM city she wasn't at that spot anymore, i asked around and people said the wave hit her hard financially due to lack of customer so she went back to the countryside.

[@FlyWithLove]

Your videos are soo cool! I subscribed to you when I found your chicken liver recipe. Nice to see your channel is growing and reaching 100k subs :)

I love banh khot. Its like a vietnamese open Takoyaki but with meat and shrimp. So good

[@chesterphung1143]

WOW! U living the dream dude, how much did that studio kitchen cost u? Looks amazing and super organized! Absolutely yes to more eat then make videos 😋 I still make bun bo hue of your video when i start watching you, the one u had the finish product in a pan bcuz u didnt have a bowl 😂 Think u had like 8k subs back then, so glad u growing so fast!!!! Gz ob the success

[@worldchanges10]

Banh khot ready made flower can be bought in the US that’s imported from Vietnam Co.; all the Viet related powder dishes are imported from Vietnam and are available at Asian markets also. Being in Vietnam that long and clueless on this😂

[@nguyenphan4333]

Your videos are always chilling and relaxing. If you can film in 4k, please do.

[@thedivide3688]

Yes!!! Banh Khot is my FAVORITE!!!! I could eat it 24/7 365

[@TriNguyen-kq1xn]

I always let the flour mix sit in the fridge for about an hour before I make this. Absolutely love the Vung Tau style more 😂

[@JayTran-uh8nf]

Do more recreating street food!

[@beaumiffle]

you need BEER!! TRUST that will give that CRISPPYYYYY-ness you’re craving for!

[@indielove95]

I like this format of video, keep it up! Would love to see you do Bun Bo Hue

[@DominicXThienohazard]

i suggest bánh cống, i think you might like it. I however doubt if you can find any vendors in HCMC.

[@lordmemes9808]

My mouth is watering 🤤

[@Sony1700]

They are one of fav too. I am from VN and hope you try out Bánh Cuốn or Sinh Tố Bơ, they are both rlly good!

[@welovedji1116]

My mother viet kieu from Rach Gia living in Norway now. Told me she always use beer 🍺 or sparkling water in the batter for both banh xeo and banh khot, she told me it gets crispier

[@jimmysroast]

If you add selzer water it might turn out more puffy, and don’t over mix your batter.

[@ChrissieSM]

Add beer to the batter, it will make it mote crispy.

[@_SeeIt]

Banh khot is also one of my favorites. But I think they only have beach style here in Da Nang.

[@kellyt8836]

This is also one of my favorite dishes...I also prefer the Mien Tay version...the Vung Tau version is too oily and kinda hard/crunchy. If you want to make it at home, just buy the banh xeo flour and voila. Huong Xua brand is good.

[@NhutNguyenXuan-il1zn]

OMG ❤❤❤ ! Good 👍👍👍

[@jigglypuff9007]

You seem to like southern dishes? Must be a southerner from the past life! 😍 im from the south

[@debrarobinson-x6s]

[@theluckynumbernine]

One of my fav dishes.. and I also grew up in D4. Hard to find it NYC/ where I live now. Im sure theres a place that makes it, just doubt the quality would be near as good.

[@zincfive]

Excellent!

[@amthucvietnam1312]

Cám ơn bạn đã chia sẻ video tuyệt vời về vũng tàu chúc bạn vui khoẻ

[@TaiTran-qz1yp]

For crispiness , My guess is that thin banh Khot pan , thicker retain more heat like cast iron does

[@ChrissieSM]

The pan looks like the Yorkshire pudding one.

[@HDNBenjamin]

the secret is adding a can of beer to the batter mix

[@TheDavenguyen91]

u have to soak your rice at night then you can mill and make that concoction of a batter the next day. But which type of rice (the most important) is a secret not many can share.

[@phamchithien]

you just need to make the batter a bit thinner annd your pan a bit hotter and it will be perfect

[@dacduy93]

Mình cũng nghĩ vậy, nên pha bột lỏng hơn thì sẽ giòn hơn

[@hoanghuytran714]

Please do one one Bun Mem. Please and thank you!

[@jigglypuff9007]

All viet food dishes are my fav! Lol ❤

[@Jackin2002]

Adding some beer will help either the crispness

[@phuongnguyen-bp3nv]

I would like to see cook it in your air fryer

[@stussybub]

The batter needs to have more liquid than the flour that you have, and use a lot more oil, like banh xeo, spreading it thin will create a crispier texture.

[@SUNNYSTARSCOUT365]

If you want to cook it faster, you may use a lid to cover the pan. The lid also protect you from hot steam and oil splashed too😅😅😅

[@TheRebornofSocialVietSub]

333 was the only thing you miss to make the perfect like the seller :).

[@VuPhan-hx3nq]

Got to put some beer in it to get the crunch

[@TheRebornofSocialVietSub]

I think what she mean , nước dão :) mean left over they will do it again to squeeze out all of the juicy.

[@Shiroyasha2397]

Was that pig bowl from Vietnam? it's so cute!

[@yeschefwithchadkubanoff]

Yes at the 19,000 store basically a viet dollar store

[@vnguyen6]

This is the famous dish of Nha Trang and it's called Bánh Căng. Bánh Khọt is what people in Saigon called it.

[@yeschefwithchadkubanoff]

Banh Can is a different dish, no coconut milk in the batter and cooked in the terra cotta cups. I absolutely love banh can from nha trang

[@joeypham4890]

So should I put baking soda or not?

[@qqqqwert]

Can we have bánh tráng trộn/rice paper salad next time?

[@khaihoangnguyen3355]

You can try "banh can" another version of "banh khot"

[@redmoon9618]

Wait so you live in District 7, Quận 7 right?

[@llhingsdependonurwi1356]

11:10 Like a Milk Tea green onion

[@lathaminfrance]

Looks like banh xeo batter

[@yamuiemata]

I tried these in Nha Trang, they served it with sliced mango which I find weird. But I didn't like it whatsoever, the flavor was plain and the mango didn't do it any better 😂 , on the other hand my gf liked it a lot.

[@thuykub1728]

That’s a different dish. Its called Bánh Căn

[@yamuiemata]

@@thuykub1728 thanks for clarifying...they look similar 😁

[@wormwoodwine6997]

If you're having a problem with crispiness, it might be the pan. Nonstick is not what you want.

[@thanhluannguyen5545]

Have 100ml beer in 300ml mixer and make sweet coconut sauce.

[@limecrystal5845]

[@thanhola2812]

bạn đã làm video theo bình luận của tôi ư, cảm ơn nhiều

[@CZTachyonsVN]

So basically a bite sized Banh Xeo?

[@DoGuov]

I think it's because of the flame and heat from the a conventional stovetop. Doesn't the street food and restaurants use really high heat? A stovetop won't get to that type of level.

[@kimyoung3484]

❤❤❤🎉

[@Fish-TD]

❤❤❤

[@スカイ-t2d]

you made the batter a little too thick, and not enough oil/heat: from what I know the lighter the batter the crispier they stay, also it'll take much less time to cook but can still keep the creaminess in the middle

[@sontruong2301]

😎👍

[@LamNguyen-nr1pb]

>>>coconut soda

[@WZMVN]

Look how Vietnam changed his belly shape 😂

[@lovetobake6]

i think the batter needs to rest at least overnight so the rice flour can hydrate and fry with lots of oil too. Your batter needs to be more fluid. That batter is way too thick.

[@brandonv1585]

What material is the pan?

[@brandonv1585]

The banh khot pan. Cast iron or stainless steel?

[@HalexSocTrang]

The dough is too thick, it needs a little more water, tapioca starch and egg (optional) to make it crispier.
