Hi Sylvia,
jicama is a root veg. that is round with brown skin. It has a crispy, juicy texture with a slightly sweet taste. You can google "jicama" for a pic.

TT,
I was lookking for Banh Bo Nuong and I came across your web site. Read your recipes and comments. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your recipes with us and responding to us all.
I would like to know if you can tell me how to make the yellow dipping sauce for nem nuong roll. I ate that when I was in TX and I love that sauce. Unlike in NY, the dipping sauce is a brown color. I heard that people put liver, egg, peanut sauce, etc...but I'm not sure how the sauce is yellow.
The sauce for nem nuong is usually brown. If it is yellow then it's probably the restaurant’s secret recipe/unique style....I've never had it before so can't figure out the recipe. Sorry. If you think they put liver, eggs, peanut sauce in it then by all means...experiment, play with your food. I'm sure you could figure out the recipe yourself....
