Bánh Chưng
Phở LêDorchester·$
$10.95
Sticky rice and pork wrapped in dong leaves, served with Vietnamese sausage and pickled vegetables.
Tip: Bánh chưng is a Lunar New Year specialty but made year-round here. It's an adventure if you've never had it.

Arancini
Galleria UmbertoNorth End·$
$5.00
Fried rice ball filled with ground beef, peas, and mozzarella — crispy outside, creamy within.
Tip: Order multiple arancini and share — they're the perfect side to go with pizza, and the ratio of crispy shell to creamy filling is what makes them special.
