Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you all have a fantastic time spent with family and friends! Today, we’re making my favorite Vietnamese dish - Thit Kho Tieu/Braised Black Pepper Pork Belly! Recipe and measurements are on my blog: https://feedthepudge.com/braised-black-pepper-pork-belly-thit-kho-tieu/ #vietnamesefood #vietnameserecipes #thitkho #thitkhotieu #porkbelly

It’s the first new recipe video of the year, and we’re recreating Nobu’s iconic Miso Black Cod at home! This miso black cod is a symbol of Nobu’s restaurant empire and high-end Japanese fusion cuisine, BUT they’re out here charging nearly $50 for a tiny piece of it. So, let’s make a much more significant portion of it at home for a fraction of the price!

I’m not gonna lie; staying in shape as a full-time food content creator is incredibly difficult, and leaning into my big back habits, I ended up gaining a ton of weight. So, to help with my health and fitness journey, I’m starting a series called “Meal Preps, But Vietnamese”!  The first episode in this series is what I like to call Vietnamese Chipotle, but essentially, it's an adaptation of my Lemongrass Pork Chop recipe, with some slight adjustments to make it slightly calorie-friendly. Now, I will say that I’m not as concerned about restricting my diet and excluding the foods I love and enjoy. I’m more worried about portion control and eating at a slight deficit instead - to make these lifestyle choices more sustainable in the long run.  Every week, I’ll be dropping a new Vietnamese inspired meal prep, so make sure you give me a follow to learn how to make them all! Now, if you’re interested in the full macro breakdown and written recipe, you can find all those details on my blog: https://feedthepudge.com/vietnamese-chipotle-lemongrass-pork-chop-rice-bowl/ #vietnameserecipes #vietnamesemealpreps #mealprep #lemongrassporkchop

Pho can look and taste pretty different depending on what region of Vietnam you’re in! Vietnam can generally be broken down into three main regions or Ba Mien:

Northern Vietnam In northern Vietnam, where pho is said to have originated, the dish focuses on simplicity and purity. Here, the broth is clear, lightly seasoned, and made primarily from beef bones and a few aromatics like ginger and onions. The flavors are clean, with minimal use of spices, letting the quality of the broth and the meat shine. Pho Bac tends to have thinner, flatter rice noodles and is often topped with green onions, thinly sliced beef (or chicken in some cases), and sometimes a sprinkle of black pepper. Fresh herbs are used sparingly compared to the southern version, and there are few, if any, accompaniments — you won’t find hoisin sauce or Sriracha on the table. Central Vietnam In the central region, especially around Hue, pho takes on a bolder, more robust character. Hue is famous for its spicier cuisine, and pho here reflects that. The broth is richer, with a deeper flavor profile that sometimes incorporates additional spices and chili for a bit of heat. Noodles are similar to those used in the north, but the toppings may include thicker cuts of meat and different cuts of beef to add variety. The soup’s overall profile has a savory depth that is distinctively central Vietnamese, influenced by the region's unique blend of spices and ingredients. Southern Vietnam In the south, pho takes on a more complex, sweeter profile that caters to local tastes. The broth is slightly darker and more aromatic, often seasoned with additional spices like star anise, cinnamon, and cloves. Southern pho is sweeter, sometimes due to adding rock sugar during the cooking process. The noodles are generally wider, and the bowl is packed with fresh herbs, bean sprouts, lime, Thai basil, and cilantro. Hoisin sauce and Sriracha are typically offered on the side, so each person can customize their bowl to their liking, making southern pho the most colorful and flavorful variation of the three. #vietnamesefood #pho #vietnam #APITikTok #tiktokpartner

We’re little backing that big back this year, so welcome back to the second episode of Meal Preps, But Vietnamese, where I show you how to make Vietnamese-inspired meal preps to help get you on track to start the year. Today, we’re making a hybrid Vietnamese/French dish called Nui Xao Bo/Stir-Fried Beef and Macaroni. This is a super quick and easy meal that is both comforting and hearty! Before we jump into the recipe, I do want to point out that my own personal goal is just to eat at a caloric deficit, while still enjoying the foods that I usually eat to make it sustainable in the long run for me. There are some easy adjustments or substitutions you can make to this base recipe to better fit your own goals and lifestyle! Healthier options include subbing out the rice macaroni for whole wheat pasta, changing the oils, or using a higher quality of beef that doesn’t require velveting. The whole idea behind this series is to introduce a flexible and easy meal prep that is easy to adapt!

This dish is like when Goten and Trunks fused into Gotenks for the very first time because I honestly was MINDBLOWN at how good the combination of Bo Kho (Vietnamese Beef Stew) and chili is. Everything you know and love about bo kho, in chili form, served over jasmine rice. This dish is truly a stroke of genius and you HAVE to try it for yourself!

We back with another Meal Preps, But Vietnamese! Now, today, we’re making these Steak and Crack Sauce Rice bowls, which is an adaptation of one of my most VIRAL recipes, and honestly, this one is such a banger!  And for a little weight update, I’m down about 9lbs from the start of the year, and that’s all due to being more mindful of my eating habits and regular exercise!  The printable recipe and full macro breakdown are on my blog: https://feedthepudge.com/meal-prep-steak-and-crack-sauce-rice-bowl/ #mealpreps #vietnamese #asianmealpreps #steak #tiktokpartner #apitiktok

We back at it with another Meal Prep, But Vietnamese recipe video! Today, we got a banger, and it's my adaptation of a classic Vietnamese dish called Ga Roti/Roasted Chicken. This one is super simple, comes together quickly, and is just really tasty. This is one of those meals you could eat every day of the week and not get tired of it!  Now, with any of these meal prep ideas, feel free to make adjustments to better fit your own lifestyle and goals. If you’re cutting back on white rice, feel free to swap it out with brown rice or any grain you want. If you don’t like honey, use your sweetener of choice, and if the fat content is too high, swapping the chicken quarters out for a leaner chicken breast will also work! Adapt this recipe and make it your own! The printable recipe and full macro breakdown are on my blog:

Have you ever tried Morning Glory before? Also known as water spinach or rau muong, morning glory is a leafy green vegetable commonly used in Southeast Asian cuisine! It has a mild taste, it’s hollow stems are crunchy even when cooked, and it does a great job of absorbing whatever it’s cooked in!  This rau muong xao thit bo is one of my go-to meals for busy weeknights when time is short, because you can make this dish from start to finish in less than 15 minutes!

This funky dipping sauce is one of those - iykyk, kinda deals. It’s definitely not a sauce that I would recommend for everyone, but it's something that I honestly LOVE, because there’s nothing quite like Mam Nem - it has big, bold, and bright flavors, it smells like the ocean, and it’s just nothing short of incredible. If you like the funk and stank that Southeast Asian flavors are known for, you’ll absolutely love mam nem.
