Both sheets are white rice soaked two to three hours. The crisp sheet is grilled; the inner sheet is soft. Press the middle so the crisp sheet shatters onto the soft one.
Taste
The 30 May 2023 dip is mắm cái from Cửa Đại anchovy, a little sugar, and fried-shallot oil, with fresh chili or chili sauce if you want heat.
Danang Fantasticity’s Hội An section uses mắm nêm from anchovy with a little sugar, pineapple or lime, and red chili. The conservation centre’s 7 June 2023 list also spreads the soft sheet with scallion fat, shrimp powder, or pork. All three stay.
How to enjoy it
