3. Banh trang cuon thit heo (Sliced pork rolled with rice paper )

The name says it all. It’s as simple as rolling dry pancake with pork and some vegetables, dipping in the sauce and eat. How easy is that! So, what makes this dish one of the most special and must-try dishes of Danang? The answer lies in 3 things:

1. The pork: There are fat at both ends of a slice.   
2. The sauce:  Anchovy fish sauce (mắm nêm)
3. The greens: include more than 10 different kinds of herbs such as lettuce, Thai basils, peppermint, banana blossoms, etc.

Yes, it looks very simple. All you need is boiled pork, herbs, rice paper and anchovy fish sauce. So why bother going out to eat instead of making at home? I honestly can’t explain. Maybe because of the shops’ atmosphere or special fish sauce that can’t be replicated at home. Maybe out of laziness. Or maybe because when you’re craved for that strong beautiful taste and smell, you’d feel like you HAVE to get it as soon as possible.
