Banh Cuon is made of rolled up thin sheet of piping hot steamed rice flour, stuffed with a mixture of cooked minced pork, wood ear mushroom and finely chopped shallots. The noodle sheet is steamed on a cloth, which is stretched over a pot of boiling water so it’s also called steaming noodle.  
Banh Cuon is topped with some fried shallots and fresh herbs, such as coriander or fresh savory, then served with its own nuoc cham (dipping sauce). Zest is added by dunking the slender and slippery parcels into the dipping sauce, which is added with a drop of ca cuong (the essence of a giant water bug) for an extra flavor. Sides for Banh Cuon usually consist of some cha lua (Vietnamese pork sausage) or barbecued pork.
