Made Vietnamese Shrimp Patties to go with the leftover rice from yesterday. The first time I made this dish I went the traditional route and bought sugarcane to mold the patties around. I’m an idiot and I forgot to account for the added mass in my frying and the part next to the sugarcane went uncooked! :crazy_face:
So, ever since then I’ve just made burger-sized patties. Of course, they are usually wrapped in butter lettuce leaves and dipped in a sauce that is equal parts lime juice, fish sauce, and sugar:

Usually Pecorino Romano. We keep a health supply on hand. Sometimes, Parmesan, which I buy in chunk form and grate myself.

Pecorino Romano, Locatelli brand of I can find it. Grana Podano is good too. I love parmigiano Reggiano, but it’s $$$$ and so good to eat I find it a waste to grate. If I have that in the house I just eat it with a bit of balsamic and some olives and call it a day

We like fresh grated parmigiano reggiano. We buy it in big chunks, but it can be a little expensive (but worth it).
