Giant Stick Rice Ball
The Vietnamese street food the Giant Sticky Rice Ball is trending all over social media. We we’re considering booking a flight to Vietnam but decided why not attempt to make it at home. This delish deep fried treat is super interesting because before cooking it it starts as a dough ball and then when deep fried it puffs up into the oversized rice cracker-like rice ball.
