Vietnamese Herb Platter (Đĩa rau sống)

Đĩa rau sống is a Vietnamese side dish that consists of a variety of fresh vegetables. The most common options include lettuce, herbs such as Thai basil (húng quế) or cilantro (rau mùi, rau răm), cucumbers, bean sprouts, and occasionally chili peppers.

Each plate will usually include a lime wedge. Fresh herbs are customarily served in Vietnam as a side dish. They can accompany numerous Vietnamese classics, including phở and other traditional dishes such as bún chả or chả giò (deep-fried rolls).
