Dear Linda,

I'm writing in response to your letter in which you asked me to tell you about traditional food in my country. 

“Pho” is one of the represented dishes for traditional cuisine in Vietnam, the main component of “Pho” are “banh pho” and “nuoc leo” or soup with thin slices of beef or chicken. In addition, “Pho” eats together with some spices as chili sauce, lemon, fish sauce, shelf, basil and coriander to increase the feature flavor of “Pho”.  You can use Pho for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

If you visit my country, i am willing to take you to enjoy this traditional food. What about traditional food in your country? Write to me soon and tell me about it

Best wishes,

Dear Alex,

Long time to see you and your family. Do they still healthy? I still remember the first time I have ever tried Vietnamese Spring rolls dishes made by my mother at home. Have you ever eaten it? It is so yummy with the crispy shell outside but soft inside. It's easy to make this dish at home.

The ingredients including eggs, lettuce, shrimps, rice vermicelli, suger, peppers, rice paper. At the begin, you bring a medium saucepan of water to boil. Boil rice vermicelli 3 to 5 minutes, or until al dente, and drain.

The next step, you mix the ingredients (eggs, lettuce, shrimps, rice vermicelli with suger, salt, and peppers). After preparing the ingredients, you can wrap the rice paper with the mix in the centre. Remember folding uncovered sides inward, then tightly roll.

And the last step, you fry them with oil in the pans. The dish is usually eaten with dipping sauce or pickles. It is very popular food in Vietnam and appear in every festival time and special occasions.

Thank you for reading my email, hopes you and your family happy!

Your best friend,
