[@SuperGGLOL]

MY favourite ! My mum used to make it all the time because i loved it. Pineapple is the best with it. The tomato, chilli, sweetness… amazing dish

[@chellops]

I have searched all over the web for recipes for Vietnamese food. You have provided the best options I can find and a great way to learn pronunciations as well as a wide variety of Vietnamese food that one may not find in a restaurant. I love what you are doing and hope that you one day can be seen on TV!

[@discoverVNmusic]

Your English it perfect ,better than me and I immigrated to US back in 1979. Love your show keep up the good work...Thanks.

[@lisanguyen8840]

Delicious recipe Helen, thank you! I made this for my Vietnamese dad, and he said it 'tasted just like home'! Your clear instructions and descriptions helped me accomplish this for the first time with flying colors. Bravo! I look forward to trying another recipes of yours soon...

[@lukec7525]

This is such a good recipe. I made this years ago and it came out absolutely fantastic. I am lucky enough to have an Asian store about 30 minutes away where I can buy everything from tamarind paste to elephant ear, to sawtooth herbs! Definitely time to make it again!!

[@aguacabana3476]

I have never made this soup myself but it’s my favorite! When I found your video I had the courage to make this (twice already!) using your recipe and it has turned out soooo delicious! Thankyou for sharing all of your delicious recipes Helen!

[@jasonbell9212]

When I made this I used catfish heads instead catfish steaks. It turned out to be delicious and made me want to learn more about Vietnamese food and cooking methods. I'm in love with Vietnamese food.

[@JodBronson]

+jason bell - Me too! It taste soooooo good!

[@undeadaeon9992]

Catfish head is the way to go

[@ArtemisHoods]

Omg thank you Helen for showing me how to make this. I havent really had it much since my mom died when I was young. I think my dad was lazy to make it and now that I know how I can try to make it! :) Thanks a lot!

[@jaghies4769]

Artemis Sorry for your loss...

[@AppleSlicesUnite]

She'll be right next to you in spirit enjoying watching you cook it.

[@LivingbyHisDesign]

Canh chua ca kho to yummm , I am so glad she add the fried garlic at the end, I make mine oily garlic so it sizzles on top of the soup. Although no one asked me, I use less sugar water and add 100% pineapple juice.

[@icecream629]

This soup is one of my favorites from my childhood, my mom used to make it with shrimp instead of fish bc I was a picky child lol

[@1987sandiego1st]

It was my favorite childhood dish also; and that's why I looked it up, so that I can cook it for my kids.

[@lidynasty4722]

My grandpa always made this

[@LoanNguyen-lj4fh]

Thank you for the recipe! Hubby said it tasted better than his mom’s canh chua and that says a lot! The fried garlic at the end was what enhanced the flavor as well!!!

[@HelenRecipes]

You are welcome. So glad that this recipe helps you 😊

[@chellops]

[@gildersleevee]

Your Great Helen. You blow me away how well you cook so many dishes and they are all excellent and your so young. You cook like a pro. I fell in luv with Tamarind and fish years ago and every time I see fish prepared this way my mouth starts to water. You make cooking look easy and I love hearing you describe what your doing. It is fun to hear what the meal costs to make as well. Cost is important to meal planning. KEEP the Recipes coming. Peace Girl, you Rock.

[@pumpkinpiecookie2744]

Thank u for taking the time to show us men how to cook.

[@ddelgado99]

Followed your recipe and it tastes so delicious and just like how the Vietnamese restaurants make it. Thank you a ton 💜💜

[@biggering]

Super video. The explanations of why each ingredient is used is really helpful. I like to know what's required and what's optional. Thanks!

[@TeddysCooking]

This looks so flavorful, colorful, and full of textures! I will make it the next time I drive two hours and spend over $20 on all the ingredients, lol. Thanks for your Vietnamese food recipes!

[@oscargarciajr4440]

This made me hungry and I just ate

[@HelenRecipes]

Great!!! Hope you will try other dishes as well :)

[@SweetandMellow999]

I made this and it was great! Expensive tho and lots of ingredients.

[@JodBronson]

+Bliss point - Yup I agree! Best to go to a Restaurant and call it the day! 😂😂😂😂😂

[@pupstermobster8567]

For me, I usually have standard pantry items on hand like garlic and shallots. Everything else at my Asian supermarket costs around $2 except the fish. Overall around $25 for the first batch. I always end up with way too much extra vegetables/fruits, enough for 1-2 more batches, so this lowers the cost of the recipe to just $15 to account for the need to buy more fish. I cook with salmon, which is more expensive than catfish. I'd say overall it's 1/3 the cost of restaurant takeout.

[@sariahpiacentini9274]

Favorite soup in the universeeeeee!

[@shorabuddin5584]

i love you Helen and your food .

[@SchaumfestigerLove]

canh chua này mà có thêm me nữa thì chỉ có căng bụng thôi chị :D

[@NguyenHanhkendylove95]

+john phan 3p31 có me chua mà bạn :)

[@freestuff67]

In Australia we pronounce herb like it is without the silent "h". Helen the pot looks so yummy. When I eat this in the restaurant the stock is so clear, almost like no tamarind was used. Is it possible they make it with vinegar?

[@phampx1]

Thanks Helen. You are a very cool chef!

[@onemustalwaysbedifferent]

So happy you posted this - one of my favorites to order at Vietnamese restaurants. Could you please make a video about how to make shrimp Banh Khot and (I think it's called) Pho Kho? There's a restaurant I visit and they have a dish called Pho Kho and it's marinated pho noodles with pork and prawn - it's so good! It comes with a sauce that tastes like sweet soy with chilis. I looked online and can't find it - would you know what I am talking about? Thank you!!

[@chowfun1976]

Can I ask what kind of knife you're using in this video? The red knife, is it a ceramic knife? It cuts so well.

[@clutchfan3152]

Man, you make it look so easy,

[@S2janie]

Helen, your recipe I trust !😊😊😊
