Bun Thit Nuong made by me

I was craving bun thit nuong yesterday. "Should I go out, spend 7 bucks and about 45 min of my time to get it? Or should I drive down to the Saigon Taipei (or whatever its called) buy the ingredients and go home and spend 2 hours experimenting with no guarantee that what I make will be edible?" Hmm.. let's experiment!

Step 1: prepare the ingredients. (looks like I'm off to a good start)


Step 2: Mix it all up. (I know you're feelin' my bright red bowl)


Step 3: Sizzle Sizzle



It looks and smells like thit nuong. AND it even TASTES like it's supposed to! This is proud moment for me, as some of you know, I am far from your domestic goddess. So what if it didn't taste exactly like my dads or Co Nga's. This little bowl was just enough to satisfy my craving. John was happy too, saying my "inner FOB" came through.
