In Lunch Meal today for my family, I decide to make Grilled Crispy Snakehead Fish (Cá Lóc Nướng Giòn) which comes from many delicious Vietnamese Fish Recipes. Eating with boiled rice and hot soup is my family’s favorite. After grilled, its skin will be crispy and help to create a spectacular flavor in your mouth. Moreover, you still have another option with this dish. Using with rice paper, vegetables and dipping sauce is all delicious.

Finally, your dish is ready to serve for family meal or party. Do you love eat? Eating with Sweet and Sour sauce is really amazing. The reason I told you should wrap rice paper into banana leaves before serving is it can help rice paper cannot break when rolling.
