Banh Cuon - Wet Rice Paper Spring Rolls

This appetizer dish takes just as much time to make as the spring rolls made with rice paper. For me, banh cuon takes longer because I haven't mastered the process. Plus each wet rice paper must be cooked before rolling. I guess this appetizer is Thai Lao version of the French crepe. You can purchase the wet rice paper batter and follow the instructions. In my video, I cook the wet rice paper differently from the instructions because that is how my cousin taught me. I fill it with ground pork and dark fungus mushrooms. For best presentation, roll the wet rice paper spring rolls flat. Serve the wet spring rolls with the spring roll dipping sauce.

Chicken Rice Noodle Porridge

As well, my boss just put me on a new project so I'll be busy with my full time job. My cousin noticed that the "Sanoubane" name is missing from my recipe book and website. I took on my father's name and not my mom's Sanoubane name. My cousin wanted me to mention that Kham Teum Sanoubane is my uncle(my mom's brother) who is a popular singer in Vientiane, Laos capital. Also my mom's first cousin is a high Thai Buddhist monk, who is granted an honourable name by His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand. I'll share more on the "Sanoubane" and the "Larprom" family later. This Chicken Rice Noodle Porridge is the gourmet version of the Jasmine Rice Porridge and both dishes are called 'khao biek'. Other Asians would call this dish ...
