Small tips from chefs
When cooking sugar, it is necessary to simmer over low heat, do not simmer over high heat to avoid burning. Banh da strands are very absorbent, so when cooking, leave a little more water in the pot to avoid running out of water.
After cooking, you can take all the meat out into a bowl, and then pour the remaining sauce on it when eating. Otherwise, the rice paper strand will absorb all the water in the pot, becoming mushy and not delicious to eat.
