Cooking Instructions
- 1
Peel and thinly slice the shallots. Soak the glass noodles until soft, then cut into small pieces. Soak the wood ear mushrooms until soft, then slice into thin strips.
- 2
Shred the jicama and squeeze out excess water. Combine all filling ingredients and mix well. Make sure the filling is dry; if it's too wet, the spring rolls will lose their crispiness after frying.
- 3
When rolling the chả ram, the type of rice paper is key to getting a crispy result—not all rice papers work well! Place the filling on the rice paper, fold in the sides, then roll up. Don't roll too tightly or the rolls may crack when frying; don't roll too loosely or they'll absorb too much oil. Lightly brush the rice paper with diluted vinegar water before rolling to help prevent oil absorption and keep the rolls crispy longer.

I usually prepare the chả ram ahead of time and freeze them in a container. This makes them even crispier when fried. When ready to eat, fry the rolls straight from the freezer. Add enough oil to cover the rolls in the pan, and a little lime juice for extra crispiness. Fry until golden and crispy on all sides.
- 5
Remove the rolls and drain on a wire rack or paper towels. For the garlic chili fish sauce: crush garlic, chili, and sugar, then mix with fish sauce and fresh lime juice. For the sweet and sour fish sauce: mix sugar and water, then add lime juice, minced garlic, and chili. Adjust to taste as you like!

To serve, place rice vermicelli in a bowl, cut the chả ram in half, add fresh herbs (garlic chives are especially good in this dish), and pour over the dipping sauces. Top with roasted peanuts if desired, and enjoy!

Puffy Steamed Nikuman (Meat Filled Bao or Buns) Puffy Steamed Nikuman (Meat Filled Bao or Buns)
These nikuman have fluffy and light yet still nicely chewy dough, and a ginger-scented filling. If you wrap them this way it's easy and the results are very neat.http://blogs.yahoo.co.jp/aigomi2087This method makes dough that is light and fluffy even when the room temperature is below 25°C, so in the summertime the pre-proofing step is not necessary. You can just mix all the ingredients up at room temperature.It's probably not possible to steam the buns all at once, so you can steam half and pan fry half to enjoy the buns in two ways.

Fermented Fish Noodle Soup| Bún Mắm Cá Lóc Fermented Fish Noodle Soup| Bún Mắm Cá Lóc
This is similar to Bún Mắm Nước Lèo, which uses a couple different types of fermented fishes to make the broth, as well as a variety of different toppings (roasted pork, stuffed peppers fish cakes, squid, ect.). This is shortened and made a bit more simple with less toppings. The broth is almost identical, using (air) fried snake head fish (cá lóc) as the main topping and local pre fried fish cake for quick light work. The bitter veggies and mix varieties of herbs and chives is what I love eating this soup the most. The funky salted savory sweet soup broth balances with the bitterness fresh veggies, along with the spicy chili and a squeeze of lime, just makes this bowl of noodle soup overwhelmingly flavorful. With sweet, savory, salty, bitterness, crunchy, fresh, funky, spicy, citrusy… just so much going on!

Brown Rice Bun-like Miso Steamed Bread Brown Rice Bun-like Miso Steamed Bread
This recipe is a variation of "Easy, Springy Non-Oil Steamed Bread".I had a craving for macrobiotic oatmeal steamed buns.You can use the oatmeal as is, but the texture will become moist and chewy if you take the trouble to pulverize it into a powder.You can prevent condensation from dripping onto the buns by wrapping the steamer lid in cloth, and fixing it with a rubber band. (Don't let the cloth catch on fire!) Recipe by Miyakojika
