Grilled rays:
It is the easiest way of making rays but it is extremely delicious. All you need is a hot coal and some guise leaves. Putting the rays into the leaf and then put them onto the hot coal to grill. You just wait not more than 10 minutes to enjoy. The dish is tastier, if the rays are seasoned some ingredients, garlic, chili and lemongrass. The dishes are more fantastic if you drink some Vietnamese wine like Đế wine, Chuối wine. Some restaurant usually grilling the ray in front of the door to attract the customers, it is the reason this dish belongs to the Vietnamese Street Food.

Rays hot pot is one of my interests Vietnamese Street Food whenever travels to Vung Tau and Mui Ne. The flavors of rays are different with different vegetable and ingredients.
