    Banana Flower Salad

    The first one was the banana flower salad, a light and refreshing Vietnamese dish. We started off with a local showing us how to cut the banana flowers, very thin, that one was a little challenge.
    I then mixed in more lime, salt, and crispy shallots. If you are a meat-eater, feel free to add in some shrimp or pork. The salad was refreshing!

    Hoi An Pancake

    My favourite dish was the Hoi An pancake. It was crispy and golden and just perfect. The rice batter, mixed with turmeric, sizzled in the hot pan. I topped mine with shrimp, and I kept at it until I produced that perfect crunchy pancake.
    We rolled it with rice paper, fresh herbs, and a dipping sauce. Yummy and crispy.

    Hoi An Fresh Spring Roll

    The Hoi An spring roll is healthy and full of flavor. We learned how to roll different veggies, shrimp, and pork into rice paper. After 3 tries and with the chef's help, I rolled my own perfect ones. They were so light and delicious with sauce to dip into.
