After trying Vietnamese-style pork stew for the first time, an African man praised it profusely, saying, "I ate three bowls and still wanted more."

In a recent video posted on their YouTube channel with over 750,000 followers, Hung Kaka and Thanh Paulo showcased their cooking skills by preparing a familiar Vietnamese dish to treat the villagers: bun gia cay (a type of noodle soup).

"On weekends, I cook delicious Vietnamese dishes to nourish and encourage the team leaders and group leaders at the farm. And today will be a very special dish, which is duck noodle soup with mock dog meat stew," Hung Kaka said.

The man said that since he raises quite a few ducks on his farm, he decided to take advantage of the available food source to prepare the dish. Some essential spices for the mock dog meat dish, such as galangal, lemongrass, and shrimp paste, were also prepared.

At the farm, Hung Kaka and his group caught a 5kg male duck to use as the main ingredient for lunch. After preparing and cleaning it, the group roasted the duck over dry grass until the skin was golden brown and emitted a mouthwatering aroma.

After roasting the duck until golden brown, it is chopped into bite-sized pieces and marinated with galangal, lemongrass, shrimp paste, MSG, etc., and left for 15-20 minutes to allow the ingredients to absorb the flavors.

Anh Hung revealed that the duck curry dish is cooked in the Central Vietnamese style, so it's marinated with molasses to enhance its appealing flavor.

After preparing and marinating all the ingredients, everyone puts the pot on the stove, stirs well, and waits until the duck meat is tender.

While waiting, Hung Kaka's group took the opportunity to boil rice noodles to eat with the mock dog meat dish. The Vietnamese man said that fresh rice noodles are not available in Angola, so they use dried rice noodles. The dried noodles are boiled until cooked, drained in a colander, and then rinsed with cold water before being ready to eat.

When the dish was cooked, Hung Kaka and Thanh Paulo divided the rice noodles into bowls and then ladled the hot, braised duck meat evenly over them. The farm workers who had been working there for the weekend were already seated around the table, eagerly awaiting the meal.

While quickly distributing food to everyone to ease their hunger, Hung Kaka introduced the duck noodle soup with mock dog meat stew. "This is a Vietnamese noodle dish, you know. The duck meat is also cooked with Vietnamese spices," he said.

While enjoying the meal, the Angolan members continuously exclaimed how delicious it was. One person confessed, "I've never eaten anything this good in my life," and didn't forget to thank the Vietnamese team for their constant care and attention to everyone working on the farm.

Others commented that the duck noodle soup with mock dog meat stew was so delicious that they "ate three bowls, felt full, but still wanted more." "I'm over 40 years old and this is the first time I've eaten such a delicious dish. I can only say thank you so much," one member expressed.

As for Hung Kaka, he felt very happy seeing the locals enjoying their meals. He understood the hardships and deprivations of the local people and always hoped to have the opportunity to cook many delicious dishes, both to motivate them to work harder and to spread Vietnamese culinary culture internationally.
