A traditional rural dish, lau mam has become a much-appreciated specialty in southern Vietnam. To be authentic, it must include Chau doc, a fish sauce made from freshwater fish. Other ingredients may include fish, pork, shrimp, eel or beef, with at least 10 – and sometimes up to 24! – different kinds of vegetables, which might include water lily, eggplant, bitter melon, straw mushrooms, bean sprouts, chilies, etc. Lau mam is ladled into bowls with noodles… delicious!
