Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between hành tăm and regular onions?

Hành tăm (củ nén) are miniature chive bulbs that are much smaller and punchier than standard onions or shallots. When cooked in fat, they release a distinctively rich, garlicky-onion aroma that forms the flavor base of many central Vietnamese dishes.

How should I prep củ nén before cooking?

Peel away the dry outer skin, rinse lightly, and then gently crush or chop the bulbs to release their essential oils before sautéing them in oil or lard.
