Vietnamese 'Cha Ca' Turmeric & Dill Fish - Marion's Kitchen

[@ottoroberts5163]

I cannot keep up with how many meals you provide! I’ve been constructing my perfect Asian dinner party for quite some time and your vids are so quick and simple that I can follow by watching and cooking is actually fun again 💗

[@zombieZ7Z]

Every recipe you post inspires me to cook more. All your videos are amazing. Make me hungry all the time. Greetings from California.

[@hershey50317]

Your mom is a sweet heart need more of that positive energy in the vids.

[@fillyjunior6729]

Omg. Your cooking and your running commentary is just heavenly to watch and hear. Keep it coming.

[@Marionskitchen]

Thank you so much!

[@sNsdd12]

Just came across this. The recipe is so good. I made some alterations, using a whole fish instead, deep frying it in some cornstarch and then pan frying the sauce adding in the whole fish. So delicious.

[@TheBergmanMethod]

Hi! I would really like to know more, I'm from south east asia and i want to make a version of this for Chinese New Year Eve's reunion dinner. What fish should i use and when using whole fish can ibutterfly it and open it up before deep frying?

[@robylove9190]

Your description of this dish is so eloquent that I can almost smell it. Your videos always make my mouth water Thanks Marion!

[@Marionskitchen]

Roby Love Thank you Roby! ❤️

[@jupnick]

You have made me a Chef! My family and I loved it. Thank you Marion you're the best!

[@elisaslittleworld2699]

This was one of the best dishes i've ever tried 😍😍😍

[@jessiehall2801]

Made this recipe tonight and it was amazing! It will definitely be on our dinner rotation from now on! I'm obsessed with your recipes and got my whole family hooked!

[@teresasnider6683]

Wow! Marion, the flavors were absolutely amazing, incredible etc. this might very well be the best fish dish that I have ever cooked. You brighten our days!

[@carolcua9793]

I'm trying this right now! Have been cooking some of your recipes and my family just loved them. Thank you Marion!

[@PKP1]

I am blown away this is the one most incredible unique dish I have ever seen. Wow

[@karenr4879]

Marion, you are my hero! Delish looking and I am going to make it tomorrow! Looks amazing. Thanks for all that you do.

[@BDDD-x3k]

@Marion - we used cat fish. The flesh holds better. We would wrap this in a "spring roll" style but with additional green herbs and condiments like basil, mint, cilantro, pickled onions/carrots, and some crushed peanuts! Wash all this down with some cold beer. HEAVEN.

[@jkharris93]

I do not usually look to seafood recipes that much, but from watching your videos I even feel like I want to try steamed or sauteed fish! I actually tried the steamed ginger soy fish last night and loved it. Next, I need to lug the mortar and pestle out of my car that I bought just from watching your videos AND waiting for my ingredients I ordered thru Amazon to make your chili oil, too! 😁 I need to start eating more healthy and stop being lazy about cooking so I love what I learn from your videos. Your presentation is awesome too- approachable, fun...and like so many others, I love your mom Noi! ❤️😁

[@lerchan]

Thanks for the fish recipe I’m just very lost in general when handling fish. I’m thai and my mum always deep fry it. Thanks for this easy yet complex flavor!

[@dtriplett03]

Thank you sharing this Wonderful Dish!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉

[@wmin5888]

I have just made this tonight. The flavor is nothing that I have ever tasted before. 😍Love it. Thank you very much for sharing the recipe. 💕

[@ragnaice]

Discovered this channel a few weeks ago, have been watching everything and drooling and saving to my to-do list. Finally tried making one of the dishes, started with this one, it was yummy!

[@FraserClydesdale]

This happened to come up in my feed and I cooked it a day or two later. Today was the day, and it was delicious 😋 My family all loved it!! I used fresh wild caught mahi mahi and it was perfect!!! Thank you for such a yummy recipe.

[@marchiolle]

Love all your video, thank you for teaching!

[@beatpirate8]

Hi marions mama! I loved visiting Thailand and the wonderful people there! Thank you!

[@Jl777100]

This made my my mouth water. It's so hard watching these videos when you're dieting 😭😭

[@felicitycotter3983]

I made this tonight & omg what a flavour bomb! Totally blew me away. I don’t even like dill but man, this was one of the tastiest dishes I’ve ever eaten. Thanks for an awesome easy recipe!

[@annrush6981]

I love your mum and your cooking. I am your fan here in england.

[@melindachin449]

I made this last week and it was delicious. Thank you Marion!

[@tiennghe7143]

You're good chefs , good food's and good show , thanks

[@candleby]

Just came across this recipe and was intrigued by the flavor combinations. So I made it tonight (with Chilean sea bass). Absolutely stunning! Thank you, Marion, for a marvelous cookery channel.

[@monanobee5053]

Will definitely try this recipe. Thanks for sharing.

[@PKP1]

Very sophisticated recipe this one.

[@UnitGFC]

great recipe, im going to try it for lunch tomorrow. might use fish stock instead of water at the end hopefully still good. would love to try this in vietnam.

[@EvangelinaDiaz-Jones-jf3bw]

Marion your Tumeric and fill fish cha ca recipe is super yummy and amazing. I used barramundi cause it is my go to fish. More power to you!! Thank you for your video.

[@beenahkoh6549]

Delicious, I will try this one

[@Marionskitchen]

Hope you enjoy them! -Team Marion's Kitchen

[@moitryde5624]

I make this all the time. I add Malaysian Fish Curry powder . Comes out great. Thank you for the recipe. I make this with BASA fish.

[@paulking962]

I wish I could smell it. It looks Devine 👌I will be your taste tester any time 😋

[@thahayasin6326]

Mama Noi at the end eating your dish.. that would be me 😂 what an amazing recipe ma'am! I hope you have a wonderful day! And also, i love you Mama Noi 🤗💗

[@deannajovanovich1584]

I can’t put into words, how much I love this dish! My belly thanks you 😍🇨🇦💯💥

[@kimberlykennedy4500]

Great recipe. I used haddock ( thick chunks) and it was great! Thanks

[@thaibaodotran5528]

You have lacked one ingredient that plays an important part in creating a unique aroma and flavour for this dish: The Vietnamese shrimp Paste. It smells terrible but when combined with other ingredients, it will bring your dish to a whole new level.

[@bubbletealover2983]

that’s why she said it’s her version lol

[@dragynally99]

I love mama Noi surprise appearances in videos. 😆❤️

[@antonboludo8886]

It looks delicious.

[@VGJunky]

Suggestion! Crush some unsalted roasted peanuts to top the bowl - adds great flavor and crunch. That's how my family eats this dish There's something to be said about using bone-in catfish that's been cut into cross sections for this dish, not very bony overall and the meat just comes off in easy chunks. Super moist and tasty For the fish sauce dressing, here we typically add sambal oelek or chili garlic sauce (Huy Fong brand)

[@marialinguist]

thanks for the recipes and coming to Hanoi! my fav viet dishes are 1. Bún chả 2. This one 3.Bún Riêu

[@suts3997]

Looks so yummy can't wait to make it. Ooh by the way your mom is so funny she loves your dish 😍

[@koreajapan03]

The last one with Noi, hahaha. Love her so much!😍

[@mariavigo4652]

Lo acabo de hacer. Gracias es riquísimo

[@tessbadier2270]

Thank you! Followed exactly, but used less brown sugar instead. Even husband liked it!

[@alankanoholani3367]

All of your dishes are so amazing, I could imagine the taste and smells of this one especially with the turmeric and dill. And your mom is so cute!

[@anishajee7232]

What brand of salt do you use, @marion?

[@novembersky3749]

hi Marion, this recipe looks outrageously delicious! u go girl! : ) the sauce is a killer friend.

[@carmenchen5959]

I just made this and it is simply DELICIOUS. I’ve made many dishes by Marion in the last 2 years and this is by far my favorite. Thank you for all the recipes and making my life easier Marion!

[@pamelaharriman8338]

Marion - where you use white vinegar, could I use black vinegar or should I use white?

[@sakinajawaid1472]

Love from Pakistan amazing dishes I try ur dishes

[@moonxoxo17]

Looks so yummy! Definitely will make this. I’m so happy I found your channel. Love the way you create your videos. So far I’ve tried the dim sum egg tarts and Chinese fried rice. Soo good 😋

[@Marionskitchen]

Awesome!! Thank you for watching!

[@jx9936]

Thanks Queen Marion for this amazing recipe, please cook more Malaysian Chinese dishes and we're so damn proud of you M'am!

[@koreajapan03]

I second this!🤗

[@NMW320earth]

Really yummy! I used catfish. Not sure I would use all the lime juice and water after you flip the fish, too much, really flavorful, yum, thanks!

[@magdalenaboje5757]

I made it so yummy Madam thank you 🥰

[@40j89]

THAT WAS SO GOOD !! Your my new best friend.

[@lonniehubbard2302]

Thanks again for another wonderful recipe. As always, it was delicious... :0)

[@emmasuasola3987]

Hi marion im your follower of ur utube and facebook today u made this and my boss said it's so good and so happy its come out good thnx again

[@aastejasmara1175]

I had cha ca at a restaurant when visiting Viet Nam back in 2016. As I recall, it was served rice noodles. For topping I had bird eye chilis but freshly sliced, not made into a sauce like Marion did. But there was one thing that Marion didn't include in her recipe: roasted chopped nuts.

[@annabella7285]

Your mom in the video is me enjoying this dish. You are missing the KEY ingredient for this dish: shrimp paste! I forgive you, because you are an awesome cook!

[@crystalhuynh9482]

Good idea add some curry flavor Yummy Cha ca la vong 😋 Thank you 🙏

[@phuthuyhugo]

An amazing dish, even better with shrimp paste:)

[@sayang38us]

Luv your vids. 🌸 What's the best substitute for fish sauce?

[@milliondollar4uture229]

SG kpopfan Pretty sure most cooks will say there is no real substitute for it. But, for the added umami flavor maybe substitute oyster sauce or Worcestershire sauce. The oyster is more umami. The Worcestershire will give you umami plus slightly salty.

[@damiann4734]

Fish sauce :D because it's cannot be replaced.

[@tammyd89]

omg this is my fav Viet dish mum makes

[@geminilillian4290]

Your mama at the end of the video 😂😂😂😂😂 she is so sweet

[@marizparayno9371]

OMG It looks yummy!!!

[@TheGentleRoadmapSekar]

Hi Marion, thanks for sharing the recipe with us. I also live in South East Asia but I can't find dill here, I always thought the plant lives only in subtropical countries lol I don't know a lot about herbs.

[@songssongs6170]

hi Marion? is the chili for the dipping sauce spicy one? it looks like a bird’s eye chili?

[@rudrabarathan2737]

You and Your Receipies are so beautiful. You have the best cameramen and editor, so Everything is so Beautiful.

[@peternguyen1576]

I think you are missing crushed peanut (for extra texture) and fermented shrimp paste which makes the dish more original and taste more delicious.

[@Ka_Halia]

I love curry everything!!!!!

[@traceymartin35]

NOI 🤣😋😘💛 I'm not a fan of dill can you suggest a different herb it feels like I'm eating a xmas tree

[@misstee101]

Cilantro would be better herb or parsley

[@Marionskitchen]

😂 You could just leave it out so that you're just using the spring onion in the marinade and to finish :-)

[@damiann4734]

Ive tried it with vietnamese mint and its good. I said vietnamese mint because its mild but sweet compared to spear mint.

[@binny_binbin]

Yes yes yes!!! A dish that not many know of. Thanks for sharing, and hope my fellow viewers try this dish out! 🐟💛

[@Marionskitchen]

Alvin Le I love this dish SO much!!

[@binny_binbin]

@@Marionskitchen I do too! And by the way, your commitment to a white shirt for this video is admirable 🤣

[@Marionskitchen]

😂👍

[@danielwoods4145]

Also would rice noodles go good with this?? My local market did not have vermicelli noodles.

[@annabella7285]

Rice noodle is the same as vermicelli.

[@danielwoods4145]

How much fish sauce do you use in the marinade??

[@Nanafootage1111]

I can see how nice is your dish by looking Mae Noi face😄💕

[@arielsterling2614]

I have to make this.

[@jayh3697]

Man I love this dish. It is so damn tasty. My mother in-law cooks it once in awhile. My wife doesn’t know how.

[@tfc1988]

Hi Marion - I love your cooking - so accessible and so tasty! Would it be possible to freeze the fish once its in the marinade to cook and eat at another time?

[@Marionskitchen]

I'd say it would be better to freeze the fish and then just defrost it when you want to add it to the marinade and cook it. I think the fish sauce and fresh herbs would affect the fish texture and be too salty if left for a long time.

[@ernestojr.acosta972]

I’ve been to Saigon twice and haven’t encountered this dish. Is this dish served only mainly in Hanoi? Looks divine, though.

[@stevenzheng1401]

Yes, it's considered a Hanoi specialty

[@bellab2872]

Wow. It is sooo good. Just made it and will put in my recipe box. Thank you Marion so much

[@lowesteastside]

Crazy good

[@BayouChicGardening]

I'm growing dill in my garden. I'm going to try this with mahi mahi or yellowtail

[@joannevelasquez1930]

what is the powder u added after turmeric?. sorry i did not get it. tnx

[@honduranflame]

Me: that shit must taste really good. Noi: [takes a mouthful bite] “hmm, so good”. Me: [wipes off drooling mouth] 🤣

[@reginarendon4854]

Can I use Cod fish for this recipe? My mouth is watering 😀

[@Marionskitchen]

Yes you can! :-)

[@MrBread0000]

@@Marionskitchen wouldn't cod break too easily? Would pollock work?

Thank you for the recipe Marion👍😊! Love, love, love Mama Noi and if she's this funny now, I know you had a blast, growing up as kid, with her😄😂😉💕!

[@AshEquinox]

Where do i get your recipies? Or how do i make it

[@foolish123able]

Cha Ca should always be paired with Mam Tom, a Vietnamese shrimp paste mixture with lime and sugar. Try it next time Marion!! Way much better. And originally, they grilled the fish with the marinate before things get sizzling at the table (only to give it a better seared color)
