If you want to master Viet cooking, make this DIY pantry ingredient! It's not hard, but a little tricky so I made a video to go along with recipes in my cookbooks, "Into the Vietnamese Kitchen" and "Vietnamese Food Any Day".
This is a casual video, so my apologies for the uneven audio. I'm a one person operation. That said, I think you'll learn lots to get you going on making a Viet staple.
Thanks for watching!
