This recipe is brought to us from the retreat’s very talented Chef – Tien who has nearly 20 years experience working with many 5 star hotels and resorts such as Anantara Hoi An, Laguna (Banyan Tree Resort Lang Co)
It is a favourite dish all over Vietnam, known for its crunchiness and fusion of flavours through the fresh herbs, sauce and batter.
Key things are the dipping sauce which is the soul of many Vietnamese dishes. This sauce contains peanut so be cautioned for anyone with allergies.
