Asian + Wine Pairing

When I start talking about pairing wine with Asian cuisine, I often get a blank stare. Not much attention is given to wine and Asian food pairing particularly Vietnamese cuisine. Central to the Vietnamese way of preparing cuisine is blending five main taste elements: sweet, sour, salty, spicy, and bitter. 


When my family immigrated to America during the 1980s and settled in Southern California, supermarkets carried a limited array of Asian ingredients. My mother figured out  how to be resourceful creating her "Viet-fusion" dishes blending Vietnamese and American flavors. Some of the dishes are what you see here. 


In May 2023, I'll be releasing "Spice of Vietnam", a cookbook with a historical twist. Stay tune!
