As a self-proclaimed food enthusiast and kitchen connoisseur, Ms. Cao Giang has mastered the art of cooking delectable dishes and generously shares her secrets online. Recently, she unveiled two mouth-watering dipping sauce recipes, perfect for the upcoming Tet holiday.
“With these two sauces, you can dip into a world of flavors. Say goodbye to boring meals this Tet and elevate your dishes with these restaurant-worthy dips. The green sauce pairs exquisitely with seafood, while the red sauce is a versatile delight, perfect for grilled veggies, meats, and more,” Ms. Cao Giang exclaimed.
Through her culinary experiments, Ms. Cao Giang has perfected the art of creating these sauces and shares her tips for success:
– The color of the sauce, whether green or red, depends on the type of chili used.
– For the most aromatic sauce, opt for long, red or green, sweet chili peppers. Avoid bell peppers as they have a stronger, more pungent flavor.
– To enhance the fragrance of the sauce, add lemon leaves and peel, ensuring you remove the stems to prevent bitterness.
– For the green sauce, use seedless lemons from Southern Vietnam for a perfectly balanced, bitter-free flavor.
