Banh Coun

I'm pretty sure I spelled that word wrong, so if any of you know Vietnamese please help me out. I'm not actually sure that is what this dish is called, except that it is delicious. Rice noodles wrapped around pork and mushrooms. Topped with a blend of cucumbers, herbs, sprouts, and toasted garlic. The dish is then finished with the gentle sweet tang of fish sauce. mmmm so Vietnamese.

Bun Thit Noung

So my mother has been on a streak, she has been making all these wonderful, colorful, childhood favorite Vietnamese foods for me to eat. Guess who has been eating and taking pictures of them. This is Bun Thit Noung. Or rice noodles, with grilled pork and shrimp. There is a mysterious melange of vegetables and herbs in there, basil, mint, some herbs that don't have recognizable English names. Some pickled carrots as well. Topped with crispy garlic and fresh home made fish sauce. Oh yeah. its good.
