what's up everybody welcome back to my channel i hope you guys are enjoying the date series so far
and in today's video i'm going to introduce you to a sweetest kindest and the most amazing person in
the world and she makes the best men which is the vietnamese fry rolls and she's my grandma
she's actually not my real grandma but she is my mom's dad's brother's wife so she's my mom's
aunt but she raised me when i was a baby until i went to school if you follow my instagram story
you can see i was bragging about her and her name so today i decided to come and visit her
during the lunar new year and make name with her to see what's her secret is all right let's go bye
bye
name
when i arrived she already prepared and chopped up all the ingredients let me show you what she had
here splash noodles harabi shallots onions carrots uh mushroom and wood ears mushroom and of course
pork in here and then she's gonna put some eggs in there yeah she's gonna put three eggs in there
after that she's mixing everything up and before mixing it she put a little bit of
salt and peppers in there she didn't use any tulle to measure the amount of spices
just eye measuring so i know her secret now besides onions she uses
shallots sheila shallots shallots and shallots shallot makes this better yep
hey guys
okay so this is my um my mom's older cousin's son so i have to call him ang which means older
brother actually he's 13 years younger than me right you're 12 right okay he's 12 and i'm 25.
so he's like 13 years younger than me and i have to call him an older brother so i stop i think
that's kind of weird that's kind of weird right sometimes we call each other like we switch it
right like you call me t and then i would call you m right because you're so so much younger that's
so confusing guys but yeah if you come to vietnam it's going to be a bit confusing by the pronouns
that you you say to people all right now let's wrap the rolls first wet the rice paper wrapper
with water then put one spoon of the mixture about one inch from the edge of the whopper
fold the edge of the wrapper closest to you so that it covers the filling
fold over both the left and right sides of the wrapper towards the middle
then just keep folding until it reaches the end i learned that you shouldn't grab the rolls too
tight because the meat will not be as soft and the rice paper won't be as crispy when you fry them
foreign
so we have charlie and then we have lettuce
and we have name
she's the best she is the freaking best and now let's eat so good vietnamese people dip nem in the
sweet and sour fish sauce that includes fish sauce water sugar vinegar garlic and preserved papaya
and carrots the fish sauce really determines the success of this dish by the way southern
vietnamese people will call the fry rolls cha zoo instead of namzan put some vermicelli in here
so excited name oh my gosh guys can you guys hear it it's so crunchy
guys
so i can taste the pork carrots mushroom in here and for some reason like her name is very moist
um
okay so i just finished eating now i'm gonna uh give her the lucky money uh in the red envelopes
not in the red envelope it's actually a green envelope because green means health
good health so um because it's date i'm going to give her lucky money to wish her a good health
team
my grandma even gave us some extra fry rolls so we can have for dinner tonight
