Vietnam's Staple Food : Grilled Rice In my country, Vietnam, rice is a staple food. We eat rice for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Rice comes with different kinds of viand [comes in several varieties] such as pork, chicken, and vegetables, which are individual in unique to each part of Vietnam, so it is also prepared in variable recipes. And Grilled rice, one of my favorite foods, that is getting more popular because of its tastiness and their unique preparation. So g Grilled rice, or “ Com Lam,” is the local name is simply for simple rice with different kinds of herbs. Instead of cooking by with a multi-rice cooker, they put a small amount of rice and herb into a bamboo’s joint and it is sealed off by a piece of banana leaf. Oh, I nearly forgot water! It can be three-fouths joint in water, with half rice occupy inside. Before that the joint is directly grilled over the fire, it is raised along the side of the fire until the outer outside switches from green to [brown? obviously cooked?] more swarthy. In the past, it was just popular with people living in the countryside or mountain range regions. In those regions, the local people usually go to the tropical forest [to search for natural ingredients] for natural products exploration so that grilled rice is suitable with the simple ingredients. Due to the development of tourism, it currently appears on the menu of many restaurants, but we can completely cook it at home because of its simplicity. Above all, I like it because it’s easy to prepare and it is really delicious. Actually, I’m not quite sure about its nutritional benefits but I’m sure that we can get some nutrients in it too, especially if herbs or vegetables are added. **Not sure why I couldn't save this in the Corrections Window, sorry!
