3 dinner with several dishes.
Pork and Mushroom Omelette - Chả Trứng Chiên
The mixture before adding the egg mixture: minced pork, dried wood ear mushrooms, dried shiitake mushrooms, shallots all chopped. Add salt black pepper oil, fish sauce.
Dipping sauce either nuoc mam or soy sauce. (I preferred nuoc mam) I like it, and with make it again. Husband prefer the Spanish omelette more.
Fish Salad - Gỏi cá trích
Inspired in our trip from Phu Quoc, we have fallen in love with this dish. They have used herring while I use mackerel, in the original dish, they used a lot of roasted peanut, sprinkled on the fish preparation, and in the sauce. Since I just have my dental problem, it wasn’t the time to mess with peanut, I just left that out.
Roll the lettuce, fish, herbs etc. with the rice paper, dip with the sauce and eat.
Our fish salad we had in Phu Quoc a month ago. Yum!
I used bonito flakes on the fish marinated shortly with lime juice
Rice paper

Fresh prawn spring rolls
Braised pork ribs - marinated pork ribs, cook with it the sauce for 1.5 hours in oven.
Very delicious. Highly recommended.

Rice soup with pork - Cháo Thịt
Rice cooked with a large volume of chicken soup, ginger, salt and pepper for 1 hour, add pork, vegetables and herbs, I got the basic rice soup recipe from Andrea Nguyen’s book, can easily replace pork with beef or fish or chicken. Since it want a easy to digest meal, this is ideal. Similar rice soup/congee is found in Chinese cooking.
