Vietnamese Herb Primer
Vietnamese herbs are collectively known as rau thom, literally translated as fragrant leaves. “Rau” generically refers to leafy vegetables and “thom” means fragrant. Note that many of these herbs begin with the word “rau” to denote the full name. In daily conversation, however, it’s okay to omit “rau” as people will still know what you’re talking about! However, there are a few exceptions, such as rau ram, which you’ve got say both words for people to understand you.
Eating and cooking Viet requires lots of fresh herbs. Some are easily recognizable, others will seem more exotic. Below are short discussion on the different kinds of herbs, how to use them and how to store them.
