Vietnamese salad Roll Wrapper

February 1st, 2012

I like to shop to Indian store , they have food from all around of world .

I bought this wraper made with tapioca starch , rice starch , water , and salt .

P1080192

 

P1080193

The wrappers are very hard like a plastic . But if you deep in worm water they became very soft and easy to roll .

P1080198

 

After I soft the wrapper in worm water looks like that

This is a winner…!

January 31st, 2012

Yes , tonight I decided to cook the chicken breast using my imagination with the ingredients what  I have in my pantry .So chicken breast cut  in strips ,sautéed with green onion, red, grin, yellow bell pepper  ,garlic, fresh ginger , curry ,pepper flex, wine , lemon juice, orange juice , of course salt ( I use sea salt)   all cooked until the chicken is tender. Then thicken the juice with a little corn starch . I use chicken broth . The chicken can be use on the top of rice or noodles , on the side of different kind of potatoes or vegetables , The sweet and sour taste is a very   pleasant surprising flavor from wine in combination with ginger .
