Everything About " BÒ NƯỚNG LÁ LỐT "
Last but not least, I could not write a post about some of the best Vietnamese food without including bo nuong la lot, known also as just bo la lot... it’s one of my favor- ite foods in all of Vietnam, and if there’s one thing I could choose off this food list right now to eat, it would probably be this
Bo la lot are little minced beef rolls, lightly spiced and seasoned, which are then filled into lá lốt, or wild betel leaves (called bai chaplu in Thai), and tightly wrapped into thin tubes
They are then grilled over charcoal, typically with a pretty hot heat so they cook through the middle, but are slightly charred on the outside and have an undeniable smoky flavor.
A plate of bo la lot is then served with rice paper, a typical bounty of leaves and herbs, a dipping sauce which I think is often made with fermented fish sauce, and finally, chilies, which should never be forgotten.
Everything is assembled, loaded with green herbs and sauce, and each bite is pure joy I love bo la lot so much, my mouth is watering as I write this
