FAQ
What makes Vietnamese curry different from Indian curry?
Vietnamese curry often includes sugar and lemongrass, which give it a sweeter, more citrus-forward flavor than many Indian yellow curries. It is commonly cooked with coconut milk for a lighter, slightly sweet sauce.
Is Vietnamese Sweet Lemon Curry spicy?
It has mild to moderate heat from black pepper and cayenne. The sugar and lemongrass balance the heat, so it tastes warm and peppery rather than hot.
How do you make a Vietnamese curry sauce with curry powder?
Mix the curry powder with equal parts water and olive oil to form a paste, then simmer 1 to 2 tablespoons of the paste in one cup of coconut milk until smooth and fragrant.
