This is a very happy blogging day for me here at Wives with Knives because my friend Chris invited me to write a guest post for her blog, The Café Sucré Farine. If you know Chris and are already familiar with her beautiful blog you know how creative and imaginative she is. Many of her recipes have already become some of my family’s favorites and I am always inspired by her beautiful photography. If you haven’t met her I urge you to stop by to say hello. Chris is so welcoming and gracious and I know you will immediately feel right at home. Chris is very busy these days doing special grandma things for a precious little granddaughter who just joined their family.
Vietnamese Sticky Chicken with Daikon and Carrot Slaw is a family favorite at my house and you will find the recipe at The Café Sucré Farine. It’s a great recipe for casual summer meals and makes the best lettuce wraps. Is there anybody who doesn’t love a good wrap? I always look forward to seeing what’s going on in Chris’s kitchen and I know you will too. Have a great day…I’ll see you over at Chris’s place.
This post is linked to FOODIE FRIDAY at Rattlebridge Farm.
Just saw it on Chris’s blog….I love both, the radish slaw in particular. Thanks sharing it.

I’ll check out your post over there.
My mom loved daikon. I haven’t quite developed a taste for it. But, guess you could leave it out.
Hi Ramona – Do you like jicama? I think you could substitute that and get the same nice flavor and crunch. It would absorb the flavors of the dressing.

I’m heading over to check this out now, actually Chris’ blog was my next stop anyway 🙂 This recipe is right up my alley, and I’ve been staring at the daikon radishes at the farmers market for way too long now, I will have to break down and buy some!

I need to bring more Asian recipes into my life. The slaw really got my attention. I love crunchy slaws…off to see how to make this.

Having just returned from Vietnam, this sounds great to me. You won’t believe it but I have a very similar daikon topping in the fridge left from a dish I prepared a couple of nights ago. All I need to do is fix the chicken!

How wonderful to have visited Vietnam. That is next on my list of places I must visit. It must have been an amazing experience. Lucky you.

It looks wonderful, I love the look of the slaw, looks nice and crunchy!
Hope you had a good Easter. Thanks so much for your kind note asking how my family is. They are trying to cope as best they can. The loss of a child is so heart breaking though.

Everything is so crisp and enticing, Cathy. Jicama is available here in the sticks, so I’m glad to know I can substitute it. Looks marvelous!
Congrats on the guest post, Cathy! This looks delicious and I’m all about the lighter eating these days 🙂

Cathy, I have had the pleasure of enjoying Vietnamese cuisine through some of my students from Vietnam. Their food is simply delicious as is this recipe that you shared. I need to get over Chris’s blog and read your post and more of her blog as well!
Have a great weekend!
