Vietnamese pancakes
Description
Making Vietnamese pancakes "Nem" at home is not so difficult. You only need to buy rice paper and noodles; everything else can generally be found at any nearby grocery store. The dish cannot be called very healthy, as Vietnamese cuisine tends to use incredible amounts of oil for frying—so don't skimp on the oil when frying the pancakes. The pancakes should essentially be as if deep-fried. Serve with tea or coffee.
