My dad had to go to Vietnam for business, and I was lucky enough to be able to go with him.  When we were in Saigon (or Ho Chi Minh City), we got to take a cooking class at the Culinary Institute of Saigon. We made spring rolls, homemade tofu, egg drop soup and caramel chicken.  They use a lot of fish sauce! It was really cool to see how they put a special plant in the rice to make it scented. Yum!
