Every place in our country has its own culinary characteristics and famous dishes, Hung Yen is no exception. People know Hung Yen for its longan, Dong Tao chicken, and tamarind sauce, but this place is also deeply engraved in the culinary map of many people with rice dishes such as eel vermicelli, Van Giang rice pancakes, and Gau village rice cakes. Among them, we must definitely mention a rustic gift that many people remember, Phu Thi village rice rolls, Me So commune.

This breakfast, lunch, and snack dish is found everywhere in our S-shaped strip of land, but Me So rice rolls have unique features that make them unforgettable.

Neither flashy nor sophisticated, the way of making rice rolls of Phu Thi villagers goes far beyond Me So land. Following the Red River dike for about 45 minutes, Me So rice rolls are transported every morning to the inner city of Hanoi, becoming a breakfast dish that many people crave.

Me So Rice Rolls - A rustic but unforgettable breakfast treat

It's also rice, but each place makes rice rolls in a different way. Me So rice rolls have a very special appearance, many people who see them for the first time exclaim that they call them "pho rolls". There are no rice rolls that are "thick" and "opaque" like that, rice rolls must be thin and clear to be delicious.

However, gourmets slowly understand the "mystery" behind the strange appearance of Me So rice rolls.

The rice used to make Me So rice rolls is Tam Xoan rice, soaked in water for many hours and then ground. This soaking time must be calculated just right so that the dough remains fragrant and does not smell sour.

The rice paper here is coated once or twice, rolled up but not hard and boring, on the contrary, the rice paper is still very soft and delicious. The rice paper is not torn or broken, importantly, it is not as thin as other places. In addition, the rice paper here is not brushed with the usual thin layer of fat. Therefore, looking at Me So rice paper, you will see that they are not shiny but still have a certain hardness of rice flour. Thanks to that, when eating the cake, you will not feel bored. Not to mention that in winter, the cold weather will make the fat easily greasy, so Me So rice paper is not brushed with this layer of fat, making it easier to "get into" when eating the cake.

What is special about Me So rice rolls?

In addition to the fact that the cake is coated with a pure white layer and rolled up, the filling and dipping sauce of Me So rice rolls are also very interesting. If the filling of normal rice rolls is made from minced meat with wood ear mushrooms, onions, shrimp or other ingredients, the filling of Me So rice rolls is extremely simple and rustic.

The original filling for Me So rice rolls only has pork selected from good lean meat, minced finely and stir-fried with onions and a little seasoning. Now the filling is diverse, adding fried onions is just to satisfy many people's preferences.

While many people think that the filling is too simple and "bland", the rice rolls in Phu Thi village want to emphasize the deliciousness and richness of the cake, clearly feeling the aroma of the rice and the sweetness of the meat.

Of course, an equally important thing to make the rice rolls more flavorful is the dipping sauce. It is not much different from the usual rice roll dipping sauce recipes including fish sauce, vinegar, chili, and MSG. In addition, the Me So rice roll dipping sauce is also dotted with a little minced meat to make it more flavorful and beautiful.

It is not difficult to recognize Me So rice rolls. The rice rolls here are not wrapped in plastic or newspaper, but people use leaves to wrap them into bite-sized bundles or as requested. The dong leaves and fresh banana leaves are washed and dried by the baker, then folded and wrapped in leaves when the cakes are finished.

Although not very colorful, Me So rice rolls are meticulously prepared in every step of making the cake. It is a simple hometown gift, and also a rustic breakfast dish, but anyone who eats it will remember it forever.

If you have the opportunity to enjoy the original taste of Me So rice rolls, visit Phu Thi village, a peaceful place, visit Hung Yen land and once touch that gift full of love for the homeland.
