My first time making banh cuon was definitely an experience. I screwed up the first few rolls before getting the technique right. Below is a picture of them, though I suppose I should have dressed them up with vegetables and herbs to make them look more appealing (we had greens but I was just so excited and wanted to take a picture immediately!):
Banh cuon without the fixings
Needless to say, they tasted amazing and Jeff and I ate them all! Mom was impressed when I showed her over the webcam, and I'm sure both Dad and my
po po would be proud that I can actually cook up a true Vietnamese meal!

ReplyDeletemiss you!!!
how long is all this cooking taking? can I make any of these dishes in 15-20 minutes?
ReplyDeleteFor Christmas, I bought "Great Food Fast" for Jeff because Andrea said that you think its a great cookbook. So I get a lot of ideas from there, and then alter it. Most meals are under 30 minutes, though the ones that require folding probably take a little longer because of the manual labour... but not by much... maybe an hour at most!
