Matt and I visited Portland last fall and I absolutely fell in love with the city. From the diverse culture to the sky high trees and roses lining the freeways, there is a ton of stuff to do and PLENTY of food to eat. So for tonight’s episode of American Idol I new exactly what to cook for the Portland auditions.

My dear friend was born and raised in Portland and always makes the most amazing vietnamese cuisine. When we were in town I was a bit surprised at how many different asian restaurants there were. I have to say, it’s the best asian cuisine I’ve ever had. So I sent an email to Kim and asked her what dish I should make for Lyndsey Parker’s readers on Snackin’ with Sarah Sellers and she suggested this mouth watering treat. I kept true to her recipe for the most part with only a few minor adjustments. For some reason there were no bean sprouts to be found the night I was making it so I substituted it with shredded carrots.

The recipe is very simple and delicious and you can get as creative as you want with the filling. Give it a try and let me know what you think.
