SHOW NOTES:

In this episode I reviewed recipes from The Gluten-Free Asian Kitchen cookbook by Laura Russell.

Recipes discussed:

  1. Gingery Pork Pot Stickers

  2. 3-Ingredient Crispy Vietnamese Crepes (vegan option) This was my favorite recipe. You can fill it with whatever you like, but I have a fairly traditional option and a vegan option.

  3. A Savory Rice Cake. You can find these cakes in Singapore and China. The Singapore version has simple ingredients while the Chinese version is more complex and flavorful, incorporating things like dried shrimp or mushrooms. It makes a great accompaniment to a meal. 

I love the Vietnamese Rice Crepe recipe. One common filling you can find in Ho Chi Minh is a combination of pork, shrimp, mung beans, and mung bean sprouts which are flavored with garlic and eaten with lettuce, mint and cilantro. You can find a recipe here. 

See an example of these crepes being cooked in Ho Chi Minh in an open air restaurant.
