I see that there’s an embedded file. It says bake the fries following these instructions, but those instructions aren’t there.

Is there a substitute for rice vinegar ?
Vegan Richa Support
you could use white wine or apple cider vinegar, rice wine vinegar, lemon/lime juice or even sherry or champagne vinegar – If not any of these you could simply substitute more white vinegar definitely going with 3 T sugar

Dear Richa,
I am looking forward to making this recipe for a dinner party.
I am from India and I was wondering what is Asian Chili Sauce. Basically, I can’t get Sambhal Oelek here and don’t know what to substitute it with exactly.
Please tell me its alternative. It would be of tremendous help.
Richa
you can use the regular chili garlic sauce or a hot and sweet sauce instead.
Bianca
Any chance you can add nutritional value to your recipes?
Richa
Maybe in the future when I can hire someone to do the calculation. or someone volunteers 🙂 .

This looks delicious ! Where do you buy bean sprouts? I am from Seattle too, and can not find them in any stores.
Thanks!
Richa
I get them from whole foods or uwajimaya.
Rylan
Looks delicious but please don’t call this exclusively Vietnamese. Sweet chili sauce makes it Thai.
James G.Costa
Look delicious. I will make the recipe to my family. Thank for sharing.
Linda
Made these and they are delicious! What could I pair these with for a small dinner party?
Richa
One of the asian inspired mains like peanut sauce with lentils or chickpeas or tofu, sweet and sour chickpeas etc. https://www.veganricha.com/2016/06/vegan-dinner-recipes.html

My mother also used to make Vietnamese-style fries! She got this recipe from my grandmother, and I never failed to eat three whole batches of her fries every time! I love the way you topped everything, though! This is awesome!
