Rice Paper Salad is very new to me. I would love to be able to make it, but it's one of those dishes that requires a lot of ingredients and preparation.
I must apologize because these photos are not doing this dish much justice. I tried to take a few decent ones, but I was so anxious to dig in that I couldn't wait any longer to eat.
So yummy is this crazy new dish that started in the streets of Saigon, Viet Nam. It has a very different flavor, thin rice paper un-wet. And do you know, when a rice paper isn't wet, it is tough. The whole purpose of this dish is to keep the rice paper un-wet until one is ready to eat.
I love the different textures, and spices. So exotic with different flavors, I love eating rare food, that doesn't include monkey brain, or dog meat. But I'd never refused a very fresh pair of fish eyes. Yumm!
Pictured here is the Rice Paper Salad I bought from a Vietnamese strip mall. It is missing the grilled liver ingredients, but everything else is present.
- thin slices of rice paper
- green onions
- fried shallots
- tiny dried shrimps
- Persicaria odorata
- julian cuts of mango
- thin slices of beef jerky
- chopped peanuts
- quail eggs

This sounds so good! Though I am not sure what Persicaria odorata is. I am going to have to go Google that.
ReplyDeleteIt is a type of herb, that is especially good in salads. The herb also has very Asian spice flavor
DeleteThis looks so good! Oh my gosh I want to eat it right now. I'm going to have to try making this soon, because I am all for giving this a try. Shouldn't be hard, but I am not the greatest cook. Thank's for sharing the recipe. Much needed. :)
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite currently. I am such an Asian food person, just looking at this dish makes me sad because today I have to eat American at parties. Yep, just hopeless about having to eat anything else but my favorites.
DeleteI think the pics do a lot of justice, it looks really good. You shouldn't knock yourself down, cause it's clear you have a talent for food. I can only imagine what my version of this would be. haha! It'd be a mess. Anyways, I'll have to give this recipe a try, wish me luck!
ReplyDeleteGood luck. It is really tasty and very good. I think you won't go wrong with beef jerky. haha
DeleteI have never had anything like this before, but it looks really delicious :)
