Vietnamese French Rolls[Banh Mi (Wheat Bread)] Vietnam was long controlled by France, as part of French Indochina. Various items from the French cuisine were introduced to the region, and most disappeared immediately upon the end of Franc's Southeast Asian Empire. The major exception is the French Roll, absolutely essential for the justly famous Banh Mi - Vietnamese Sandwiches. Some Baguettes are also still popular in Vietnam.
Chinese Doughnut Stick[Youtiao (China); Cháy Quây (Vietnam)]
These are very popular all over China and in Vietnam, especially for
breakfast. They are soft, airy, and chewy. They are rarely made at home
because it takes too many steps, too much time, and too much attention
- and the the region is swarming with street vendors producing them
in quantity. The photo specimens were purchased from a large Asian
market in Los Angeles (San Gabriel) in a 13 ounce package for 2019 US
$3.49. They are to be fried in oil at 350°F/177°C for 3 minutes,
or heated in an oven at 350°F/177°C for 3 to 4 minutes. Ingred:
flour, water, cottonseed oil, salt.
