.... I love my flatmate! She loves to cook, just like me and today she prepared three different Vietnamese dishes, all vegan and they were all divine! First course was fresh Vietnamese spring rolls, with ginger, carrots, mushrooms, bean sprouts, mint, coriander, vermicelli and rice paper, served with sweet chilli sauce! Now these are good served fresh and also deep fried. They are so versatile you can literally put anything in them. Next time, we will make fruity fresh spring rolls and serve as dessert.
The second was a Vietnamese soup, with cauliflower, broccoli, mushrooms, vermicelli, vegetable stock, coriander, soy sauce and I'm not sure what else but it was lovely. Third was rice with soy sauce, served with finely chopped spring onions and peas! It sounds simple, but trust me it was divine... Before adding water to the rice it was fried in olive oil for a few minutes, then boiled until cooked and lastly the peas and spring onions were added. Normally you would also add corn, it was still great without it though!
