Hi Gel- the green stuff is called Wasabi, it's a variety of horseradish and (as you know) very hot.
The rice is a medium-grain rice and yes, it sticks together. And yes it's steamed. They may flavor it with I think lemon grass. Not sure. The white, transparent rolls are made with rice flour instead of wheat flour. And Vietnamese recipes tend to used concentrated fish oil. A pint bottle of that stuff constitutes a HazMat condition IMHO <g>. -Ben > All this talk about food is getting me hungry :-) > > I don't particularly liek Sushi though.
