Rice flour crusted fish
Those who have been to Vietnam know that food sellers are literally at every step in the cities there. This very food is spread out in large and at the same time mobile constructions, which are vaguely reminiscent of military field kitchens. What is there not only! Fish, chicken, meat, seafood, dozens of sauces, fresh finely chopped vegetables and herbs … and, of course, rice. In a few seconds you will be prepared any combination of the above. We liked this fish in a crisp most of all.Rice flour crusted fish
