Looking for a little inspiration in the kitchen? We’ve got you covered with a Destination Asia recipe from Thailand. Each week we’ll bring you a new recipe idea from another country in our network, finishing the series with an 11 recipe Destination Asia Cook Book – all presented in a nice front and back covered PDF for you to download and keep!
This week we’re cooking up char-grilled beef wrapped in betel leaf with lemongrass. Known locally as bò cuốn lá lốt, these fragrantly seasoned grilled rolls of beef wrapped in wild betel leaf (lá lốt) are a favourite Vietnamese snack often served as an appetizer or entrée as part of a traditional lunch or dinner.
The key to this dish is in the preparation and presentation. Once grilled and ready, the betel leaf beef rolls are placed on the table. Each guest then wraps the roll in rice paper along with a salad leaf for extra crunch, to eat as a “roll served in a roll”.
