Beef in Vinegar Hot Pot (Bò nhúng dấm)

Bò nhúng dấm is a Vietnamese version of a hot pot that is traditionally served communal style. In its basic form, the dish consists of a vinegar-flavored broth that may also include coconut milk or coconut water, lemongrass, onions, or other additions, while typical accompaniments include thinly sliced raw beef and an assortment of fresh vegetables and herbs such as bean sprouts, daikon, lettuce, cucumbers, mint, basil, and perilla leaves.

Although the name (bò) suggests the dish is exclusively made with beef, it can also include other types of protein such as squids or shrimps. Additional elements include rice paper sheets, which are used as wrappers, and typically nước chấm and mắm nem dipping sauces.
