This was a really tasty and refreshing meal that was pretty easy to put together. I loved the addition of fresh herbs to the meat mixture, and the fish sauce really does make all the difference in the world. Dino added some Hoisin and Sriracha to his cups, and really enjoyed them like that. I had mine straight up.
