#fried stuff

Anyway, “last year,” I was in a crowded restaurant in Hanoi with my mom and dad, enjoying fried stuff and beer. It’s crazy to think about. I remember the shrimp cakes (my favorite), dumplings with glass noodles (I think?), and fermented pork spring rolls. I thought I’d heard wrong and they couldn’t mean actually fermented, but nope! It was. And it was delicious!

Finally got some delicioso fried and caramelized plantains. 🤤 @theliftingyogi

Lotus root is the crunchy king of the vegetables so I was really happy to try this.
