Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 1/3 can of sweet condensed milk
- Sugar for caramel
Preparation
- Mix milk with water with a fine proportion to have a moderate sweetness.
- Beat eggs, avoid creating foam.
- Add sugar and water with the proportion of 3:2 in a sauce pan. Keep the heat on medium-low. Stir constantly until it turns to be a frothy mixture with brown golden color. Then, take the pan off the stove and pour into the ramekins.
- Mix dissolved milk and beaten egg together. Pour the mixture into the ramekins through a strainer in order to remove any bigger egg chunks.
- Steam the ramekins for 10 to 12 minutes. Then, take them out, cool down and put into fridge. Otherwise, bake the ramekins uncovered for about 20 minutes in 350F oven.
- Cool them down and put into fridge. Serve cold.
Óc trần lá ngải
Óc trần lá ngải is listed among the most horror foods for foreign visitors in Vietnam.
Grilled beef wrapped in wild betel leaf
Riding along the crowded streets of Saigon in the afternoon, people can often be attracted by a fragrant and spicy smell of seasoned grilled rolls of beef, stemming from moving-stalls blurred in the smoke from charcoal flame. This dish, wrapped up in wild betel leaf, has become a favorite snack of Vietnamese, particularly Saigonese, to serve with beer or wine.
Snakehead Congee
Snakehead fish congee can appear as a normal dish of the commoners, but to those who first taste, that dish served in hotpot style is quite a surprise.
