Hey Andrea! I just made this recipe from your cook book. I just wanted to thank you for the wonderful book! I'm enjoying getting to connect more with my family heritage

[@AndreaNguyen]

You're so very welcome. My apologies for not responding until now.

This helped me so much! I couldn't get it right untill your video.

[@TheHappyangel8]

Thank you great demonstration!! I have several of your cookbook, including Everyday and this demo definitely helps! Thank you 😊

[@AndreaNguyen]

Thanks so much for getting Vietnamese Food Any Day and checking out what I do online too. You made my day!

[@yolandaduarte6936]

Hey Andrea! I know this is super advanced but could you make a video on pho? I’ve enjoyed making so many of your dishes and I’d definitely love to venture out to something more complex.

[@AndreaNguyen]

I did one at Google HQ in Mountain View. It goes with my book, "The Pho Cookbook". kzbin.info/www/bejne/noHLdqJ_qL-Hgrc

Hello Andrea. Is it supposed to taste bitter? I made a batch today and tossed it out.

[@AndreaNguyen]

Hi Sai -- it is bittersweet so you may have been on the mark or slightly over the mark. Try again and back off the darkness a little. I didn't get it right my first few times. Hope this helps!

[@tonyn6969]

Is it ok of there is a slight burning smell or did I already burn the sugar?

[@AndreaNguyen]

It should not be acrid - distasteful. It is ideally pleasantly slightly bitter. Hope that helps.

What about the part when fish sauce is added?! This video is unhelpful.

[@trinh_win]

there is no fish sauce part?? this is a caramel sauce

[@gfys6323]

...why would you add fish sauce? 😐

[@umamizaddy]

@@gfys6323 look it up instead of asking.

[@gfys6323]

@@umamizaddy I meant no offense. I wasn't asking. Fish sauce isn't a part of caramel sauce which is used in the creation of the end product like ca kho/thit kho. You use fish sauce separately to make them but don't add it while making the caramel sauce itself. Perhaps some do but I've never known it to happen in Vietnamese households (usually).

Thank you.
