Even with the most careful eyes, the occasional typo or mix-up can sneak into a cookbook. This page is where I’ll share any corrections or clarifications so you can cook with confidence and get the results I intended.
Cooking is all about learning and adjusting, and sometimes that means updating a little detail along the way. Thank you for rolling with me and helping keep this book truly extra special (đặc biệt 😉). If you notice something that seems off, just drop me a note and I’ll add it here!

p.102 – Chicken Phở (Phở Gà)
The Oops: The recipe lists a “6-inch piece of ginger, peeled and cut into pieces,” but doesn’t clarify how to prep it. The halved onion isn’t clear on whether it should be peeled, and Step 5 doesn’t specify if the pot should be covered. The recipe also ends at Step 7 without directions for using the remaining salt or assembling the bowls.
The Fix:
- Ginger: peel but keep it whole.
- Onion: split in half with skin on, cut root-to-root (just make sure the root isn’t dirty).
- Step 3: add the remaining kosher salt at the end when seasoning the broth to taste.
- Step 5: keep the pot uncovered while simmering.
- After Step 7: finish by following the “Building the Bowl” section (page 95) for how to assemble the pho with noodles, herbs, and garnishes.
p.188 / Caramelized Pork in Fish Sauce (Thịt Kho)
The Oops: Instruction says to add the entire piece of pork, and sear on one side for a couple of minutes.
The Fix: Slice pork in bite sized pieces
