Goi la buoi (Pomelo leaf salad)
Goi la buoi is a unique salad made with tender pomelo leaves, boiled pork, shrimp, and a sweet-sour fish sauce dressing. It’s fresh, slightly bitter, and full of texture.
Pomelo leaves are picked young for their mild bitterness and aroma, providing a distinct herbal base.
Sliced pork, shrimp, and crushed peanuts are tossed together with the leaves for a rich, layered bite.
The dish is balanced with fish sauce, lime juice, and a touch of sugar, creating a vibrant salad.
