Vietnamese Mexican V-Mex 3.0




I think I might be obsessed. I think I might be undergoing some second generation Vietnamese American identity reconciliation crisis. I have been poisoned with this fusion food concept and I cannot escape it. I want to Vietnamese-Mexican all of my favorite Vietnamese and Mexican foods. Who knows what sort of  ungodly concatenation of culturally iconic foodstuffs I will create. Below you will find Carne Asada Spring Rolls: fresh Vietnamese herbs from my back yard, rice noodles, and home pickled carrots, wrapped up with carne asada in a sheet of rice paper. Of course I dipped them in fish sauce! What else would I dip them in?!
