Guest writing for Rasa Malaysia’s gorgeous and delicious blog is both exciting and an honor. To be part of this grand celebration of Asian foods from all around the world is both educational and inspiring. Reading all the great guest bloggers’ family recipes and food traditions shows us just how much we all have in common, no matter what part of the world we hail from.

I’m sharing my families “go-to” dish, grilled pork fresh spring rolls or know in Vietnamese as Goi Cuon Thit Heo Nuong. How could I not? Mom would have me feathered and tarred with caramel ginger sauce, just like she does with her precious duck. And Dad would have my head on a platter, covered in chilies and garlic, just like his special fried snapper dish. My parents certainly are not the abusive nor violent kind. They’re just very passionate about their food and even more thrilled to be able to share it with others…(get Vietnamese fresh spring rolls/Goi Cuon recipe after the jump)

I found this Vietnamese lemongrass chicken recipe on a recent copy of Food & Wine magazine–an article about Vietnamese recipes. I believe this is not the most authentic lemongrass…

Vietnamese Tau Hu Ky Recipe (Bean Curd Skin with Shrimp)

Tau Hu Ky, or fried shrimp wrapped with bean curd skin is a must-have appetizer for me whenever I go to Vietnamese restaurants. The reasons are very obvious:
1) I love bean curd products, especially bean curd skins;
2) I live to eat shrimp (check my recipe index and you will know what I mean);
3) Bean curd skins + shrimp + deep…
