Satisfied with Banh Cuon

You really can’t go wrong with this meal. It’s cheap, satisfying and it’s called Banh Cuon: the perfect midday nosh. Savory and delicate – pan fried minced pork and wood ear mushrooms scattered through translucent layers rice crepes are doused in nuoc mam (fish sauce). Mouthwatering just describing it…

Banh Cuon

And once again, it won’t cost you more than a latte! In that bowl are the contents that came in the styro foam and plastic. If you’re a snobby foodie don’t be fooled by the sketchy exterior, once presented a simple bowl your experience will surprise. You eat this Northern fare with slices of Vietnamese sausage, fresh corriander, some bean sprouts and a sprinkling of fried shallot and nuoc mam. Don’t be surprised if you wish you bought two styro trays!
