Cooking Challenge of the Day

You have a small package of handcrafted "Vietnamese Duck Sausages" by a purveyor who is well-regarded but not Vietnamese. You do not have any idea how these sausages are seasoned until you eat them.

What do you serve them with?

Oooh. I think I'd grill them, and then cut them thinly on the bias and serve them on a salad of soaked and drained rice stick, shredded sweet cabbage, thinly sliced cucumber, shredded carrot, and little chunks of peach or plum, with nuoc cham, lime juice, and Sriracha.

I look forward to hearing more about these. They sound potentially excellent.

This idea has potential!

I am also leaning toward making a rice crepe to serve alongside, as I recently discovered a preponderance of rice flour in my cupboard.

Rice noodles, but since you have rice flour on hand...also, cilantro if you like it.

Pepto-bismol?

Edit: Ah wait, upon more careful reading I see the purveyor is well-regarded. So...rice and plum sauce?

noodles and spinach.

Rice, of course. Julienned cucumber, fresh mint, nuoc mam cham, fresh bean sprouts.

Could substitute rice flour pancakes for the rice, and add lettuce and basil.
