Rice $2 Vs. $20

Rice is the most important ingredient and meal in Vietnam. It is eaten by everyone nearly everyday. Today we are looking at the different levels of rice restaurants you can find all over the city in Vietnam., from the everyday average spot to the more refined clay pot rice. No matter what style you get you will always get a good meal.

I hope these new videos start to pop off. Chad is such a highly underrated creator and this is a cool video

[@yeschefwithchadkubanoff]

I appreciate that so much

[@1will2kill]

I love your laid back style, but I can appreciate this new style of video and also hope more people discover you!

[@parkaveli11]

I couldn't agree more!

Thanks for sharing ! We love your family . Is your wife Vietnamese ? Your daughter look like her dad very much . ❤💖💝🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

I can’t believe white rice is demonize as unhealthy in the US. Vietnam eat the most rice per capita and the least obese country.

[@vietduonghoai6634]

I think balance is the key

[@TheRebornofSocialVietSub]

ask the food industry and FDA :0 how they treat and trick you guys like a pig.

[@doodahgurlie]

A lot of Vietnamese have diabetes...at least the ones over in the US, I'm sure the ones in Vietnam as well (maybe they don't get diagnosed like in the US so many slip through the stats). They may look skinny, but it's called skinny-fat. All the carbs and sugar they eat will catch up with them. I've noticed many of the young kids in various videos are extremely overweight there and the grown ups aren't as thin as they used to be...probably the influence of Western and other foreign foods and a sedentary lifestyle.

[@TheRebornofSocialVietSub]

@@doodahgurlie yes. they won't have meat to eat that's why they eat rice for more full :).

[@doodahgurlie]

@@TheRebornofSocialVietSub Which is fine for those whom work hard in the rice fields and labor. But those in the city have more access to food and they choose to eat the unhealthy stuff and not exercise.

[@danhtrinh1769]

I feel like I'm watching a top notch show on the Food Network. Great production. A lot of thought put behind those camera angles, close-ups, music, etc. This will surely pay off if you continue to put out great content!

[@yeschefwithchadkubanoff]

Thank you so much

[@yenpham-jb4wo]

This dude is very very good with his editing

[@LinhNguyen-fx3vl]

That's what i feel so, its like a TV show

[@ngth.nggh.2505]

"Một nắng" mean that they dry the pork directly under the sun for a whole day so that the pork was half-dried for conservation purpose This technique is usually used in seafood and is extremely popular in central of Vietnam (mainly because of the condition there) Hope this can help you in some way ^^

[@danhvo4632]

Just adding some info further from Huan’s share. Dry-ing under the sun is for food Preservation purpose. It’s usually take 4-5 sunny days to make completely dry that can able storing food under normal temperature. “1 nắng” or “2 nắng” are quite different methods since those use to enhance favor of food rather than preservation since later food need to keep in freezer . The idea behind those methods are quick dry-ing the food surface but keep the moist inside. So when cook, the outside crust, smokey and the inside tender and juicy. The pre-cook method help to enhance the texture of food. It’s quite similar to steaks aging ideology.

[@frankie391]

5:55 that's literally the dish Christine Ha shown to the judges in Masterchef US S3, unfortunately she didn't finish the rice in time but it's still super delicious and that she won the apron.

[@CurtisPi]

the last meal you ordered a Ba Rọi Một Nắng Muối Sả Ớt dish. "Một Nắng" literally means "one sun", and it refers to a method of drying pork belly for one afternoon in the sun. This process reduces the water content of the meat, which enhances its texture and flavor. it is one of my favorite dishes.

[@le-phuongnguyen6181]

I appreciate how all the toppings you paired with your rice are common and popular items everyone in Vietnam eats !

[@GreenKillafish]

Love the video. Production quality looks good. Thanks for the small Vietnamese lessons.

[@damiann4734]

Nice video. Not many people know about the dishes that Vietnamese eat with rice. Vietnamese meals always composed of 3 things, carbohydrates (rice), protein, soup+vegetables and then you may have your pickled veg sides. Atleast I think its typical. It's quite healthy if you watch your rice portion. So the broth/soup category, we have atleast 50-100 different types. And then protein, that's another 50-100. Pickled veg, probably another 50. Its quite complex but foreigners don't cover this because Vietnamese don't usually talk about it. Also you have regional dishes aswell like curry eels, yam soup, pumpkin and prawn soup, la giang (river leaf) soup, ga rut xuong nhoi jambon and many more.

[@dungtrannguyen535]

I am from a rural area in the middle of Vietnam but have been living abroad for 7 years and I haven’t had a taste of these dishes for so long. It is such a distinct culture of Vietnam to be able to serve a variety of our cuisine made to serve with rice and I love this part about our tradition and specialty which is so hard to find in NA. Great production, great content. Keep up the good work. Man you really make me miss home!

[@johnq9502]

Loved this video. You are a star in the making. So natural on camera and how you talk about but the food and Vietnam is amazing. Keep it up Chad!

[@yeschefwithchadkubanoff]

[@yeschefwithchadkubanoff]

[@danieole_music]

I love the detailed explanation of the name of the dish! Vietnamese dishes are usually very literal based on the main ingredients, and also the way you explain the cooking technique that they do to those ingredients are very good! I hope this channel gains a lot more views soon

[@Odin4President]

[@quanganhhoang6670]

Quality of this video is so good. Its dope and non-stop. Keep it up !

[@h011yw00d]

I love the braised fish in that dark brown soy sauce dish. Really good. Yeah most kids don't like bitter melon but you grow up getting used to it. Not bad if it's stuffed with pork/wood ear mushroom/glass noodle inside --- it's like you have to eat your veggies to get to the good filling inside. Rice is a core staple in asian food, but I prefer glutinous rice/flour dishes like banh cuon, banh beo and the rare banh nam (I probably could eat all three of these every day) then you have chinese dishes like chow fun and dim sum rice rolls.

[@Ronster528]

Hey Chad, as a fellow chef here I really enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work! And just a suggestion for your food recommendation vids, you can try to add the location to the shop with the google map link so people can know the location, cheers!

[@kalashnikov4753]

I rarely watch all the cooking videos on youtube but I quite like Chad's narration, good luck with the content creation career.

Thanks Chad lots, love ya video 🤝🏻❤️

[@CuongNguyen-ot8bu]

Thank you, Chad Kubanoff, this is a really great video. Thank you for promoting Vietnamese cuisine. Where you live in the southern part of Vietnam, there is a diverse culinary scene with very affordable prices, which is fantastic. On the contrary, in the northern part, for example, Hanoi, although the culinary scene is diverse, the prices can't be as low. The same amount of food would cost more than 1.5 times as much. Nevertheless, it's worth trying for fun. I say this not to compare prices, but to help everyone be more informed and objective if you remember this video and read this comment. 😄

[@phanduc3365]

There is a version of Com Neu that they put less rice in the clay pot and cook it until all outside of the rice get crispy , the only way to get it out is to break the clay pot and top with scallion with pork fat, black and white sesame and fish sauce.

Notice an everyday meal in Vietnam specially in the South comes with lots of green and fresh vegetable. Love bitter melon stir fried with egg, bitter melon also has medicinal value for human well being. Can never be too much bitter melon. Have you ever tried trà hủ qua which means bitter melon tea? this video is great. Thanks for bringing Vietnamese everyday non touristic food to the world.

[@yeschefwithchadkubanoff]

I have tried that tea once before but it was a long time ago. I’ll have to taste it again

I think the "one-sided" pork mean the pork is dried out in the sun for around 1 day (Not several days for it to completely dry), so it will be dry & still having some moisture.

[@appletvaccount1364]

Great suggestions, definitely going to try! Btw in Asia there’s table rules like you don’t stick the chop sticks vertically into rice. In Western countries there’s rules too, or at least in middle class upwards, and when constantly violating these rules it looks just as rude and repulsive… no matter if someone uses cutlery or replaced the cutlery with chopsticks
