The making of banh cuon

I went to eat banh cuon (rolled rice cake) with my cousin Vy in Saigon. These rolled rice cakes are filled with shrimp, beef, and dipped in fish sauce. So good! Even better is that I got to see the making of these rice cakes. Making these goodies takes a lot of skill. The rice flour has to be poured out and spread evenly. When it is finished, it has to be picked up in such a way as to not rip these very thin rice papers. This person does it so well, she could multitask.

I'll be making my last trip around Vietnam (to Dalat) for the next few days so I won't be updating. After that, I'll be home soon!
