* TRADITIONAL WAY OF MAKING RICE FLOUR ROLLS

Boil water in a pot, placing a thin cloth on top of the pot. Pour a small
ladleful of mixture onto the cloth and using the bottom of the ladle,
spread the mixture over the surface of the cloth. You can add a bit of
cooking oil if you fnd the crepe sticks to the cloth. Cover for 30s until
the rice flour crepe is cooked.

* SIMPLIFIED WAY OF MAKING RICE FLOUR ROLLS

Heat a non-stick pan. Pour a small amount of cooking oil into it. Add
a small ladleful of mixture. Rotate the pan slowly so that the mixture
is spread across the pan’s surface. Cover for 30’. When the rice flour
crepe is done, turn the pan upside down and the crepe should glide
off.

While the crepe is still hot, place
the flling on top and roll. Stir-fry
shallot until crispy and sprinkle
it over the rolled cake. Cut the
Vietnamese pork roll into big
pieces and use with dipping
sauce while the dish is still hot.
