The tray of Lam Binh people to treat guests.
At Nam Dip homestay (Lang Can commune, Lam Binh province), visitors can fully enjoy a tray of "hundred percent" Tay dishes made by Tay "chefs", with food sources provided from main in the region. A tray of rice that the Tay people in Lam Binh treat guests usually does not contain food in dishes, except for soup. All dishes are presented very cleverly on pieces of banana leaves placed on a bamboo tray the size of a tray. This is a tray of rice cooked completely in the traditional way of the Tay people. Chuu Thanh Nga, a young Tay owner who owns the famous Tai Ngoi homestay in Lam Binh, is excited to share with guests about the unique dishes in his hometown. One of the indispensable dishes in the highland rice tray is vegetable salad. Chuu Thanh Nga said that coriander plant grows a lot in the forest, belongs to the fern family, has a slightly viscous characteristic, but if it is blanched or boiled and then mixed sweet and sour with peanuts, it is very delicious. It is also grilled pork, but the meat is marinated with doi seeds and batches, giving rise to a characteristic attractive aroma. Another specialty here is Lam Binh stream duck. Ducks are released naturally in the stream, very clean, firm and sweet meat. Lam Binh stream duck is dipped with a special dipping sauce, which is duck broth. The duck broth is still boiling hot, pour it over the bowl of laksa leaves that have just been thinly sliced, mixed with a little soup powder, chili pepper to taste. It must be boiling water, because if it is cold, the eater will suffer from the pungent taste of laksa leaves. When dipping, you have to immerse the duck meat in the bowl of dipping sauce, to see the greasy, pungent, sweet and rich taste of the duck meat mixed in the sauce. The highland rice tray is also indispensable for bamboo shoots. Chuu Thanh Nga said that in Lam Binh, there are fresh bamboo shoots in every season, in any season, such as bamboo shoots, bamboo shoots, bitter bamboo shoots, bamboo shoots, etc. It is bamboo shoot season. Peeled bamboo shoots washed and then stuffed with minced meat, green onions, the sweetness of the meat is mixed in the sweetness, crispness and patience of bamboo shoots, making it hard for anyone who enjoys it to forget. Chuu Thanh Nga said that bamboo shoots here do not have a sour taste like bamboo shoots below, nor do they need to be boiled as thoroughly as bamboo shoots below. Just blanch a little to soften, easy to stuff the meat and then steam it.
An omelet with stinky vegetables.
A meal in Lam Binh is indispensable for an omelette with stinky vegetables (also known as rotten vegetables). The strange name opposite to the dish makes many visitors most curious. Chuu Thanh Nga said, when picked fresh, the smell of fresh vegetables is very unpleasant: "In a hamlet, there are about 7-10 houses living close to each other, just one house picks fresh leaves and the whole neighborhood can smell it, the smell of fresh leaves is very uncomfortable. When smelling the leaves of vegetables, no one thought it would taste so good. Rotten leaves are almost like phoenix leaves but smaller. The smelly vegetables are plucked out, washed and cooked, mixed with eggs and fried, not only no longer unpleasant smell but also very delicious. In particular, coriander is also a good medicine for the excretory system and for the kidneys. In particular, in the tray of rice of the Tay people in Lam Binh, there is also a dish of buffalo skin stir-fried with sour bamboo shoots. Sour bamboo shoots are pickled bamboo shoots with chili. As for buffalo skin, according to Nga, in the past, house builders used to braid buffalo skin into extremely strong zippers to pull wood to build houses on stilts. Buffalo skin is now a unique dish, skillfully processed so that there is no longer the smell of buffalo, it is not chewy, but crispy and soft enough, blended in the sour and spicy taste of bamboo shoots. The highlight of the special tray of rice is the fish dish from the Gam River. Suddenly, many people mistake it for a goby, medium-sized, just over 1kg, but this is a very large fish. Chuu Thanh Nga said that to reach a weight of 1-2kg or more, it sometimes takes a whole year. It took a few years for the fish to gain 3kg. Fish suddenly live on Gam river, eat vegetables, moss, so the meat is very firm and extremely sweet. The fish is suddenly grilled, dipped directly with spicy chili sauce, or rolled with rice paper, raw vegetables, eaten very "in".
Purple sticky rice.
Fish in the river, ducks in the stream, eggs in the cage, vegetables in the forest or in the garden. With only such simple and close foods, the Tay people in Lam Binh have captivated visitors with their unique cuisine. Another special feature in Lam Binh is that homestays support each other to introduce the culinary beauty of their homeland to visitors, not individually like many other places.
