What is Piper Lolot Leaves ( La Lot)?
You might be thinking, what exactly are the piper leaf leaves? They should be referred to as betel leaves? In reality, they’re not exactly the same thing. The leaves of the betel (or piper betle) are la trau in Vietnamese. The proper meaning to the word “la lot” refers to piper lolot or piper Sarmentosum and pepper lolot. I’ve also seen sources using wild betel leaves in reference to la lot.
There are many restaurants in the outside from Vietnam Translate the lat in betel leaves and describe the food grilled beef betel leaves, causing people confused. In the present I would guess that the term of grilled beef served in betel leaves is so commonplace that no one wants to correct it ( :).
In Vietnamese supermarkets, la lot* is sold in bundles with the stalks remaining. It has a mildly spicy taste and has a distinctive smell when cooked. Vietnamese La Lot Leaves
The most popular way to utilize the leaves of piper used in Vietnam can be wrapped around meat roll. In the North they are filled with pork and then baked. We call it cha la lot. In the South the rolls that are referred to as bo cuon la lot, bo nuong la lot and bo la lot comprise primarily meat and are cooked. Today’s recipe is for Southern Vietnamese grilled beef rolls.
Ingredients
The two primary elements in this bola lot recipe are ground meat and leaves of piper lolot. To make the beef rolls more juicier I also include some ground pork that is fatty. Some restaurants also include pork fat to increase the flavor.
Although lots of leaves are already fragrant, they have an distinct scent and aroma, the beef filling must also taste delicious. Therefore, I add chopped lemongrass and shallots garlic, and a hint of five-spice powder in the filling of the meat.
How to make Vietnamese Grilled Beef using Piper Lolot Leaves
The first step is creating your beef roll. A majority of people lay the lat leaf with the glossy side down, then add around 1 tablespoon of filling then roll it into the shape of a log. In the event that the leaf’s on the smaller side, it may be necessary to make use of two leaves to create a roll.
It can be difficult to hold your rolls together because the leaves are prone to roll themselves. A simple solution to this problem is to thread 2 (or greater) roll onto a skewer or toothpick. As you can see in the picture below how they hold in their place this way.
When you’re done rolling, you can grill the rolls. You can make use of an outdoor grill as well as barbecue pan for cooking the chops. I have my preferred Staub grilling pan (I purchased it from Sur La Table), which I utilize to cook a variety of Vietnamese grill-cooked dishes like Hanoi barbecued pork meatballs served with noodles (bun cha) and Vietnamese barbecued pork chops.
What to serve Bo Cuon La Lot
My preferred method of serving the grilled beef rolls is to use rice vermicelli noodles lettuce fresh herbs as well as roasted peanuts, along with a sweet and spicy dressing. The fresh herbs to use are mint and cilantro. It is also possible to add daikon and pickled carrots, or cucumbers to serve alongside.
