 BETEL LEAF WRAPPED BEEF/PORK ROLLS WITH FRESH NOODLES

One fascinating aspect of Vietnamese cuisine is that its dishes are not only unique in their preparation and balanced flavors but also often made from ingredients considered medicinal, such as Betel Leaf Rolls, which are incredibly aromatic and offer numerous health benefits.

Betel Leaf Rolls can easily become dry if not prepared correctly. At Mẹt Restaurant, our chefs finely chop betel leaves and mix them with pork/beef, seasoned with spices like black pepper, fish sauce, seasoning powder, and finely minced shallots. The meat is marinated for 15 minutes before being rolled into betel leaves. After the cooking process, the Betel Leaf Rolls retain the moisture inside the meat, ensuring it remains succulent, with a rich combination of meat flavor and the fragrance of betel leaves. This dish is served with rice or wrapped in rice paper along with various herbs and noodles, accompanied by either sweet and sour red dipping sauce or chili sauce, depending on the diner's preference.

In Vietnamese folklore, betel leaves are considered a warm herb with properties that alleviate joint pain, have antimicrobial effects, and reduce inflammation. Therefore, when using betel leaves to create dishes, Mẹt Restaurant aims to offer both a delicious representation of traditional Vietnamese family meals and introduce diners to the unique use of this ingredient in Vietnamese cuisine.
