Vietnamese Spring Rolls

Leave a comment

Sometimes when you go to a Vietnamese restaurant to get some pho, it doesn’t feel enough. This is why some people add Vietnamese spring rolls into their order. These spring aren’t just regular spring rolls. First of all, they aren’t fried; they aren’t even cooked. Vietnamese spring rolls consist of fresh herbs, vegetables, rice noodles, and shrimp, all wrapped up in rice paper. They are perfectly easy to make and are usually accompanied with a special peanut sauce. To make them, first, you need to wet the rice paper with warm water so that it’ll be easy to fold them. Next, you boil the shrimps and rice noodles, and after you’re done, you need to take the shell of the shrimp. Then you chop the herbs and vegetables into tiny pieces and place all the ingredients neatly on the rice paper. Lastly, you fold them like a burrito and serve with peanut sauce. Vietnamese spring rolls are also a yummy and healthy snack to have during the day.

Tornado Potatoes

Leave a comment

Several years ago, in Korea, I ventured around the local food vendors, and one of them sold tornado potatoes. Captivated by the name, I decided to buy one and try it out. I was shocked when the person gave something that looked like dozens of potato chips all pierced into a stick. I quickly realized that they were a spiral cut potato on a stick, and they resemble the shape of a tornado. They looked a bit similar to curly French fries but shorter and crispier. When I tasted it, I was shocked by deliciousness and desired to have more. The tornado potato ships were made from having the spiral cut potatoes on the stick deep-fried and seasoned with a savoring seasoning. If you’re going to go to Korea soon, I recommend trying these out!

Takoyaki

Hi everyone! A friend gave me the idea to do takoyaki for this post, and I thought, “Why not?”. Takoyaki is a popular Japanese snack that you can find in both Japan and Japanese restaurants or shops overseas. They’re shaped like tiny round ping-pong balls filled with octopus. This is the reason why this famous snack is called takoyaki: tako means octopus, and octopus is the main ingredient. The batter consists of flour, eggs, and water. Then it would be cooked on a special hotplate made specifically for cooking takoyaki. Served with mayonnaise, seaweed, bonito flakes, and a special sauced, takoyaki something you must certainly try!

Last summer I went to Disneyland, and I bought some churros there. The churros in Disneyland were one of the best churros I’ve ever eaten. Churros are a sweet and savory snack that is both common and popular worldwide, and they are easy to create. Churros originate from Spain, and they made from fried dough seasoned with a mixture of cinnamon and sugar. The main ingredients of churros are flour, salt, butter, water, and eggs. They are sweet and crunchy on the outside and moist on the inside. Churros are something worth trying for, and they are an excellent snack for any time of the day. Next time you go to Disneyland, be sure to try their churros!
