Nam Nuong

Nam Nuong are the little grilled sausages on sticks shown below, but it's also the name of this dish. It's Vietnamese in origin, but I don't know what it's called there.



All of the ingredients are laid out on a rice wrapper and rolled up before eating, like a fajita.



The sauce is sweet and spicy, and full of roasted peanuts - the combination of all the fresh fruits, vegetables, and herbs (including lettuce, cukes, green bananas, starfruit, mint, kaffir lime leaves, green chilies, and everything else in the photo that I don't know the names for yet) is something that cannot be described, but must be experienced.

The description of a little bit of this leaf and a tidbit of herb or green banana sounds like the perfect Caveman Diet, or maybe Mountain Gorilla meal. I've got to plant some kaffir lime for dad to prune!
