Dac Biet: An Extra-Special Vietnamese Cookbook

A collection of contemporary, extra-special Vietnamese recipes, from beloved
classics like Hanoi-Style Vermicelli with Grilled Pork and three variations of
phở, to dishes with a New Orleans twist, like Southeast Asian Jambalaya and
Sticky Fried Shrimp Bánh Mì—from Top Chef contestant and acclaimed chef Nini
Nguyen In Vietnamese culture, to be dac biet is to be special and luxurious,
or, as chef and cooking instructor Nini Nguyen puts it, it means adding
something a little extra, like salty caviar on top of squid-stuffed pork, a
surprise note of ginger and lime in a dipping sauce, or sautéing shaking beef
in farm-fresh butter for a creamy, delectable experience. Born and raised in
New Orleans by Vietnamese immigrants, here Nini gives us recipes that fuse the
best of Vietnamese and New Orleans cooking and clear directions on how to
prepare and arrange them, making for a flavorful, unforgettable experience
that proves that being a little extra is easy and just right. Dac Biet
includes one hundred delicious and vibrant recipes that celebrate the
essential flavors of Vietnam—salty, sour, bitter, spicy, and sweet—and the
bright and perfectly balanced dishes they create. Here are recipes for:
Charbroiled Oysters in Chili Butter Viet-Cajun Seafood Boil Phở with
