You find interesting things on Instagram.
When I was casually looking at pictures, something like this caught my eye.
I did some research and found out that this is a Vietnamese dish called “Banh Trang Lui” (I’m missing commas here and there), and I loved how they look.
This was my first time using rice paper.
I eat them all the time.
I was always intimidated by the delicate look.
Well, I don’t know why I waited so long.
Rice paper is so much easier to handle than I anticipated.
And these were fun to make.
I couldn’t find an English recipe, but I did find a recipe written in Vietnamese with pictures.
I got a rough idea from the pictures, but I basically did my own thing.
Inside are garlic, onion, orange peppers, mushrooms, and tofu, all cooked.
These were served with sweet and spicy garlic chili sauce.
YUM!!
These were so good!!
I could have eaten a dozen more skewers.
By the way this is what the rice paper looks like before soaked in water and softened.
I wonder why they put this design on.
