Do You Punsit?!


A very dear friend made a double recipe of a Vietnamese dish called Punsit. It is so delicious and she was generous and gave me half! I have her permission to share this with you and hope you enjoy! (The following is NOT double)

1 bags rice sticks (she used SunLuck - Maifun)
Put water in large bowl and let the rice sticks sit in it for 2-3 minutes, drain and let sit.

Pour some grapeseed oil in a wok or curved side fry pan. Heat, add 1 Tbs minced fresh garlic and 1/2 - 3/4 large onion, chopped. Stir over medium heat until they start to soften. Add COOKED meat... chicken, pork or beef, however much you'd prefer, and simmer for a short time. Add 1/2 head of finely cut cabbage, 2 large carrots, shredded, & 2 cups of water. Cover and let simmer and soften. (Don't let it get dry) Add the rice sticks and 1/4 - 1/3 cup each, lemon juice and soy sauce. Stir, taste, add more if needed. Simmer until water cooks out. Serve with extra lemon and/or soy sauce if desired.
