How to make a Pandan Chiffon Cake: Tried and Tested! Remember I was telling you about how I learnt the valuable lesson about persistence from watching my Mom try again and again to perfect her Pandan Chiffon Cake? Well, since I got my new mixer to play with, I decided to re-enact the Pandan Chiffon experience for myself. I thought it should be quite a simple thing to do but little did I know that it would take me quite a number of bakes before I finally felt ready to write this post. This post is the result of months of research on the internet, reading recipe books, talking to various expert bakers and baking a lot of cakes. My Pandan Chiffon Cake is by no means perfect yet, but I think that I have learnt enough to pen down enough information so that whoever wants to bake a Pandan Chiffon Cake would have all the information they need to make a good cake. One of the problems when you are trying to find recipes on the net is that different writers have different standards. That is fine I guess.

One of my favorite foods is Vietnamese curry! My husband is from Vietnam, and my mother-in-law taught me how to cook, so throughout our marriage (up until we became vegan), I cooked exclusively Vietnamese meals. I’m trying to work my way back to that, but when we became vegan, I wasn’t familiar with what kind of flavor combinations to use or how to replace meat protein with other forms of protein without having to use tofu in everything, so now that I’m more familiar with vegan cuisine, I’m working on improving my old Vietnamese recipes to make them vegan. First up: Viet Curry Stew.

Vietnamese curry is different from many other Asian curries in that it is a stew rather than a sauce that covers veggies or meat. Typically it contains chicken, but I have replaced the chicken with chickpeas and a small amount of vegetable broth (to make up for the chicken juice that normally adds to the flavor). Ingredients 1 can chickpeas, drained 1/2 cup vegetable broth 2 14 oz. cans coconut milk Directions. Basic Vietnamese Dipping Sauce Recipe (Nuoc Cham) Every good Vietnamese cook needs to master this dipping sauce. It's used in many dishes to bring all the elements together.

However, it can be easily botched, especially if your taste buds are not well versed in balancing subtle nuances between sour, sweet, salty and spicy. Additionally, flavoring with fish sauce is tough if you're not used to working with it everyday, not to mention the fact that fish sauce qualities differ from brand to brand and sometimes from lot to lot! Growing up, I was given the task of being our family's dipping saucier. We are a serious group of eaters prone to chiding the cook for poor food preparation. So out of self-preservation, I devised the method below that's served me well over the years.

Rather than mix everything together at once, I've broken up the process to simplify matters for the taste buds. Basic Dipping Sauce (Nuoc Cham)Makes ¾ cup 3 tablespoons lime juice (1 fat, thin skin lime)2 tablespoons sugar½ cup water2 ½ tablespoons fish sauce 1. 2. Notes.
