Brew time is about 75 seconds and the total process takes not much longer than a few minutes if you have all your tools prepped!

What is Thai basil fried rice? This authentic variation of Thai fried rice is just as good as traditional Chinese fried rice–and depending on my mood, even better.

Mom’s old restaurant served cá kho in a clay pot, but she admitted to me it was actually cooked in a pan and just transferred into the pot. The cooks even heated up the clay pot to fool unsuspecting customers into believing it was the actual cooking vessel. Wow. (shh!) This was a popular dish in southern Vietnam since meat and fish were plentiful. Obviously many types of fish were available there, but certain dishes tend to stick to certain varieties or be influenced by local availability....
