CHEF'S NOTES

Nem (spring roll) sauce and nuoc mam (fish sauce) are essential for this hors d'oeuvre: they harmoniously bring together the creamy richness of the avocado with the subtle flavor of the shrimp.

The chili paste is hot and powerful and serves as a counterpoint to the fresh, cool character of this refined dish.

You can flavor the recipe by adding curry powder or sprinkling a little on top of the flan.
