A Meal in Spring: What I Brought Back from Vietnam

Welcome to homecooked stories by Trang

A short Lunar New Year trip in February unexpectedly turned into a 3-month stay. In that time, I got to indulge in family meals that are impossible to find in Berlin.

I'm writing this event description while packing my suitcase to fly back. I'm coming back with new perspectives on my own culture and recipes.

As spring is finally here, I’m opening my home for a shared, homecooked Vietnamese lunch for anyone in Berlin craving a low-key gathering.

The menu
A Vietnamese family-style meal, following the Northern tradition:

một mặn · một canh · một rau

✨ Canh gà lá giang
A light, slightly sour chicken soup

✨ Chả trứng hấp
Steamed egg with minced pork and wood ear mushrooms

Crispy pork belly

✨ A small surprise treat from Vietnam :)
