Nem

Today, our topic will be " NEM" ( or in different way is " CHA GIO").

I remember this was my mom's favorite dish when I was at home and I didn't like it that much. Well, however now, it's my turn, I seem like it a lot.

All the ingredients like meat, crab meat, cat mushroom, ... I can easily find here at any Asian grocery, but for the transparent rice wrapper, I still like the one from Vietnam most because it's so crispy and thin. So my mom has to send those papers to me every year! This is totally my homemiiiie style NEM.


From start to end,
Finish wrapping NEM
You can see through the meat from outside..






It turns golden brown after fried..



And here is our NEM!

Ice cream of the week!

Isn't it yummy! Green tea soft ice cream that I found of OH Joy! blog. This makes me want to buy the ice cream maker right away!

Hommi style steak!

It's getting a little chill here, montreal! A little early fresh cold air spreads through the town and my little nest where I need to put on some clothes to keep me warmer. The green is around still and the autumn color has not yet come,still, there is a lot of warm feeling inside the house, a lot of food inspiration comes up.

so what else is greater to heat up our kitchen than a piece of steak. The heat, the color, the smell, the touch of a juicy tender steak will make our dinner completed.
