I can't help but admit that I have a soft spot for Asian cuisines. During our family gatherings, the table would not be complete without these delectable dishes. Among the bestsellers is the Vietnamese Fondue - meat cooked in a pot served with salad, rice wrappers, and dipping sauce. Here is a simple recipe for fondue fanatics like me. Just a friendly reminder: this dish may be a little addictive.
Monitoring your diet is highly recommended.
Ingredients:
Rice vinegar
600 g (1 1/3 lb.) sirloin or round steak
200 g (7 oz.) fresh shrimp, shelled
6 lettuce leaves
150 g (5 oz.) bean sprouts
150 g (5 oz.)
white mushrooms
2 medium carrots
5 green onions
5 sprigs of parsley
Preparation:
1. Slice the mushrooms, cut the carrots into julienne and the green onions into strips about 5 cm (2") long; shred the lettuce leaves.
2. Break the rice sheets into 4 pieces.
3. Cook the shrimp in water or steam them for 3 minutes.
4. Place each ingredient into a small dish.
5. Bring a
fondue pot containing some rice vinegar to a boil over the heat source - it is better to add more during the cooking time rather than filling it full at the beginning.
