"Nori Fish"
On a recent visit to Sacramento we ate at a Vietnamese vegetarian restaurant and had a dish similar to this. There was nothing obviously Vietnamese about it. The Vietnamese lady who owned the restaurant had spent some time in Tibet and it was there that she was inspired to make her restaurant vegetarian. In my opinion, the food was much like Chinese vegetarian food. It was better than what we had at the restaurant! Here is what the cook says:
I made a filling of tofu, cellophane noodles, chopped dried mushroom, ginger and green onion, half an egg white, and a spoonful of powdered dried shrimp. (not pure vegetarian here)
Cut 2 sheets of nori into the shape of the fish, brush lightly with egg, pile on the stuffing, and fry lightly in oil.
The photo was taken before I put on a sweet, hot sauce and garnished with cilantro.
