Banh cuon




Banh cuon. These are thin, sticky, rice-flour wrappers filled with some kind of meat. In this case--the daily special--they were filled with pork, crumbled in small pieces like hamburger that you would brown for tacos, and spicy like sausage. It's tasty, but too heavy a dose of meat for me. The bits on top are fried pieces of onion that taste a lot like battered onion rings. About $.90 for a plate of four rolls, and a dip into the jar of nuoc mam--fish sauce--is an extra charge of about $.15.
