Why I Love This Recipe

 This recipe is a great recipe to include your family, specifically kids. I’ve had so many fond warm memories of making Hoành Thánh with my family. It’s in those precious moments we were not only making Hoành Thánhs, but we were also making memories. If you love a little spice, I strongly recommend garnishing the dish with (my favorite condiment) Chrouk Meta. If you like your dish more mild, the Tiger Sa Te is great. Both items are available at www.tumamispices.com
