The basic Ho Chi Minh City version of Banh trang nuong tends to be a spoon of cooked ground pork, sliced green onions and a cracked quail egg spread evenly over rice paper and toasted over the heat of a grill. After a few minutes, when it is no longer translucent, it is drizzled with a sriracha-style chili sauce and folded in half.
The Dalat version is more elaborately prepared on a thicker rice paper; it features a cracked chicken egg topped pizza style with slices of sausage, tiny dried shrimp, assorted cooked seafood, green onions and cheese. South Vietnam tours packages
It is easy to cook, you could do by yourself. Spread all toppings of your choice over the rice paper and grill over char coal until the butter and cheese melted. Next, crack a quail egg on top and swirled the egg around with a spoon to break up the egg and mix it all up with the rest of the ingredients. The egg adds taste value as well as helps the ingredients stick to the rice paper and possibly to wet the “banh trang” a little bit so that it will cook properly on the grill. Continue grilling until quail egg is cooked. Whirl rice paper gently to make sure it cooks well. Finally, you just finished one of amazing Vietnamese Food Recipes.
