Rice crackers!

First stop off the ferry in Tho Ha village was watching a family make giant rice crackers. They make a slurry with the rice in a very manual process to get it into a circle, very much like a crepe. They then sprinkle it with sesame seeds, coconut, peanuts, and a touch of brown sugar. It's then dried on racks, and finally cooked over a charcoal fire by hand. The younger girl who had cooking duty was home from university, and works 10 hours a day at the fire. I imagine that makes her study extra hard when she leaves there. The ferry does not appear to run on a schedule, but instead simply go to the other side of the river once they see people. No buzzer, no calling, just get on and get off when people need it.Baca lagi
