Vietnamese coriander (Perusicaria odorata) or Rau ram is an herb whose leaves are used in Southeast Asian cooking.
Although used in many countries including Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Laos - the leaf is mostly identified with Vietnamese cuisine, where it is commonly eaten fresh in salads (including chicken salad) and in raw summer rolls, as well as in some soups and stews.
The taste is spicy, tangy and hinting of cilantro. This is a water loving plant and it easily roots with cut stem in water.
Vietnamese Coriander is a wonderful and unique addition to your garden and meal making. Perfect for summers salads and soups.
