In the heart of her family kitchen, acclaimed actress Phuong Oanh masterfully prepares a traditional Vietnamese plum sauce, a culinary masterpiece that delights the senses.
Using 3 kg of fresh plums, she skillfully combines 2.5 liters of premium fish sauce, 350 ml of filtered water, and 1.2 kg of granulated white sugar. The mixture is gently stirred, briefly boiled, and then cooled to achieve perfection.
With precision, Phuong Oanh layers sterilized glass jars with plums, garlic, and chili peppers, before pouring the cooled fish sauce mixture over them. She assures enthusiasts that the sauce reaches its full flavor in just three days.
“The plums retain their crisp texture and delicate tartness, creating a harmonious balance with the sweet and savory fish sauce, aromatic garlic, and spicy chili. The plums’ distinct fragrance infuses the sauce, making it irresistibly captivating,” she shares with enthusiasm.
Her Facebook tutorial showcasing this recipe has garnered over 7 million views, captivating food lovers worldwide. Remarkably, this was her first attempt at crafting this dish. From the initial blending of the fish sauce, she instinctively knew the flavors would meld perfectly, ideal for pairing with boiled pork or water spinach.
After three days, the finished sauce takes center stage at a family feast, accompanied by boiled pork belly, water spinach, stir-fried shrimp with starfruit, and a comforting crab soup with morning glory and taro.
The meal receives widespread acclaim for its visually stunning presentation and authentic Northern Vietnamese summer flavors. Fans praise the actress for her culinary expertise, noting her immaculate kitchen, artfully arranged dishes, and well-balanced nutrition.
