VIETNAMESE - Cuisine of the Quarter, Summer 2017 (Jul-Sept)

As for the fish with turmeric and dill (originated from Hanoi), cooked last week. You are right that fresh turmeric should be used (I used the dry powder). Also fresh galangal is preferred, I have used fresh grated ginger, I found the taste too strong. My version didn’t resemble to the restaurant version we have ate. The marinade was a bit overwhelming. The cod fish wasn’t too ideal too, as it tended to disintegrate…
