I want to make a delicious "cultural food" recipe. Any ideas for an easy & tasty (not mainstream) treat?!
My husband has a "cultural foods" assignment for school, and I want to try to make him the meal he writes about in his paper!. He will have to research the food's origin, how it's made, what makes it special in it's country of origination, etc!. Please provide a recipe if you've got it! Thanks!Www@FoodAQ@Com

I introduce to you "X?i ??u xanh" (glutinous rice with mung bean) from Vietnam!. We eat it nationalwide, especially for breakfast!. And it is very easy to make everywhere!.
- glutinous rice and mung bean (ratio: 2 glutinous rice: 1 mung bean): soak them in warm water for 1 hour or above!.
- mix them together and cook it in rice cooker with the water level above the mixture level a little!.
- when it is cooked, serve it with the mixture of ground fried peanut+ ground fried seasame+salt!.

Equal parts of three types of different white fish ie Sea Perch (1 Kg or 2 lbs in total)
Mince the fish in a food processor or mincer
add three eggs
1 cup of Matzo meal
Salt and Pepper to taste
Make sure it is all bound so that you can make it into patties!. You may have to add more matzo meal!.
The patties can be fried (easiest) or boiled!.

Hummus and pita chips are really tasty and easy to make!. Bao is a really good chinese snack, but I'm not sure how easy it is to make!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
