Actress Phuong Oanh prepares a traditional Vietnamese plum sauce in her family kitchen.
Using 3 kg of plums, she combines 2.5 liters of fish sauce, 350 ml of filtered water, and 1.2 kg of white sugar. The mixture is stirred, boiled for 5 minutes, and then cooled completely.
Sterilized glass jars are dried thoroughly. Phuong Oanh layers the plums, garlic, and chili peppers inside before pouring the cooled fish sauce mixture over the ingredients. She notes that the sauce is ready to enjoy after just three days.
“The plums retain their crispness and mild sourness, blending perfectly with the sweet and savory fish sauce and the aromatic garlic and chili. The distinctive fragrance of the plums infuses the sauce, making it irresistible,” she shares.
Her Facebook video showcasing this recipe has garnered over 7 million views.
Phuong Oanh mentions this was her first attempt at making this dish. From the moment she mixed the fish sauce, she knew the flavors would harmonize well, ideal for dipping boiled pork or water spinach.
After three days, she proudly presents the finished sauce as the centerpiece of a family meal, paired with boiled pork belly, water spinach, stir-fried shrimp with starfruit, and crab soup with morning glory and taro.
The meal receives praise from many viewers for its appealing presentation and authentic Northern Vietnamese summer flavors. Fans commend the actress for her culinary skills, noting her tidy kitchen, beautifully plated dishes, and balanced nutrition.

Beyond cooking videos, Phuong Oanh occasionally shares moments with her twin children, Jimmy and Jenny. She reveals that Jenny often stays close by in the kitchen while she cooks. “Jenny’s smile and Jimmy’s quiet fascination with the fish tank bring me unexpected peace. The world outside seems to pause at our doorstep. Seeing my children eagerly await my dishes melts away all the day’s fatigue,” she reflects.
Recently, Phuong Oanh has been more open about sharing her daily life with her children. She has also revived her cooking vlog and partnered with several brands. The actress now participates less in events, focusing on family and raising her young twins.
