previously unimaginable the role must include rice paper of some sort usually thin and round inside the filling vegetables herbs meat or seafood then the dipping sauce sweet sour salty spicy or even smelly sometimes all at the same time this is the binding agent creating the right balance of flavors here at Yankee the dipping sauce is gold that's why people keep coming back here's the Point Loma

the pig ear roll is made basically the same way same wrap same herbs but with pig ear as the main protein I'm gonna take a look at this inside you can see some of the hard cartilage and some of this really fatty gelatinous part of the ear this is a fermented fish sauce the sauce will rock your socks off made from pungent fermented fish sauce coconut water and pineapple buddy give it a dip which is crunchy ear cartilage so you're not really even tasting so much porkiness it's just all about that texture it's got some extra crunch to it this one's very delicious from here we're gonna head to a

beef demi-glace and a touch of peanut sauce between wonderful texture rich beef or dry not here is the truffle it tastes elegant fantastic the pork head cheese roll this one is all about the head meets prep started early in the day marinating the pig head skin tongue and ears with the salt onion powder garlic powder and more for 12 hours when the meats ready he rolls it and serves it with a sweet and sour fish sauce a little gooey the herbs in here though so fresh like the meat is rich in oiling kind of fatty but with the herbs and some sweetness from the sauce it balances out proudly love it now we're in central Vietnam course 3 the grilled pork sausage roll using ingredients like this and this and this or maybe not this but the highlight here is the pate so this one is from the

when we asked you could you make $100 spring roll what was your first thought I thought it was cool I was easy the most important thing is to keep the tweets window whichis you have to make the dipping sauce taste good you can't just put expensive ingredients and call it a hundred dollars but if this is a big hit people want to order the hundred dollar spring roll later is it something you would put on the menu I'll be more than happy to do that all right I'm pumped we're both excited to try it out let's get to it on the menu today surf and turf a combination of beef and seafood served separately and two kinds of spring rolls for a price of $100 first a spring roll with a Japanese twist using high-quality Kobe beef for its protein she starts off by torching the sacred beef on the rice paper she adds the super sweet and sour ground cherries a rare ingredient you can't find easily around here then the Kobe beef some herbs and she wraps it up but that's only half the dish what about the sauce the main ingredient in the sauce solid seared slices of foie gras this is high-end fatty goose liver but she adds a twist she douses this prized ingredient in some common Vietnamese fermented fish sauce then some coriander kumquat and black pepper [Music] well yes I'm not sure that you've had any of these ingredients in your life and now you're gonna mix many of them together for the first time it's gonna blow your tops off they wearing socks I do this is Wall Gras a fatty goose liver it's gone through a special process that's made it bigger than normal it's kind of a mean process they kind of like shove a funnel down their throat but we don't usually talk about that part when we eat you know us fancy people right now we just go home foie gras I'm very nice let's French oui oui you ready that's fantastic really fatty melts in your mouth so you can see super thick it's full of whatever I said in the voiceover earlier that's quite delicious that has an incredible depth of flavor super rich this fruit is quite hanging it has a lot of sourness to it I thought it would be too much tang I like the great combination of like the savory flavor from the beef and then the to see from the fruit it's great coming Nathan oh wow look at this it's kind of turning liquidy pretty quick I'm gonna put a huge piece of foie gras in here you can see the sear on there looks awesome there's so many layers of flavor there's so much happening at one I God she did it there she is right there we had our land animal now it's time for a taste from the sea using Japanese of Kaido scallops the scallop is cut into thin slices and half of it is stir-fried on the rice paper she adds slices of dragon fruit then the scallop raw and stir-fried a smear of homemade hot sauce herbs and a mound of red caviar I mean seriously have you ever seen a spring roll that looks like this now the dipping sauce seafood meats seafood as she concocts this one-of-a-kind sauce using sea urchins and black caviar a pinch of Himalayan black salt a slice of yellow melon and its juice passion fruit sauce and her homemade hot sauce this is a sea urchin it's like that egg from a sea urchin some of them have eggs and they look like these these little egg pod you're gonna try just the Oni and I want to see your face you're looking at me like it's a rat meat it's not the rat meat anymore is it raw yeah no it's different something that I haven't tried before but I do like the beginning taste it's like really creamy and salty by the way I like that we're on the street eating a hundred oh yeah that's a new cut there the next one right here you can see there is a load of caviar in here pink caviar yeah we couldn't have I feel beauty if I cannot finish the whole thing with like fancy people do her
