Cà Ri Gà - Vietnamese Yellow Curry

A Vietnamese dish that's both fast and easy to make? You bet! It's not all low and slow. This fast and furious Vietnamese dish is best enjoyed at home and takes just minutes to fix up.

Cà Ri Gà is a Vietnamese dish you won’t find at restaurants. A lady who operated a bánh mì café in Hanoi kindly fixed me a plate of this yellow curry after I asked her where I could find it. It turns out: you’ll get this dish at home. She made it on her gas camping stove in minutes, with a plate of rice and a tangle Đồ Chua (pickled carrots and radish). That’s exactly the spirit of this Vietnamese dish: you can whip it up fast and with little warning, because you probably have everything you need to make it already. Let’s get to it!
