Wow, these look fantastic! The sausages look so pretty lined up under the transparent rice paper. I’ve been craving the shrimp + mint version 24/7 lately but now I really want to try these out!

I am beyond impressed with your egg ribbons! I am disaster with eggs… I don’t know that I could achieve omelet flippage even with an entire can of spray to coat my weathered pan. The Astronomer is a lucky man.

Mmm… now I want bo bia, esp. after picking up an especially plump jicama.

To make egg ribbons, I usually thin the egg, too. About 1:3 water to egg. Using this same technique for bun thang, you get really really thin ribbons.

how odd, your normally bright orange theme has suddenly gone missing! weird… anyways, the ingredients sound unusually delicious I’ve never seen this particular combination. Drooling!

I do enjoy these much better than goi cuon, which I find rather bland. That’s why I make these and never goi cuon! It’s funny that we both add grated carrots because in Vietnam, they only use jicama. I think it was originally a cost concern for my mom but the carrots add great colour!
