About Vietnamese Coriander

Vietnamese coriander is an aromatic leafy herb used for its pungent, peppery, citrus-like flavour. Its narrow, pointed leaves are usually green with dark markings or bands, and its tender stems may be included.

The herb is commonly sold fresh in bunches, with a texture that is soft but more defined than delicate salad greens. Freshness strongly affects its aroma and crispness, while dried forms are less typical.

It is added raw or near the end of cooking to salads, soups, noodle dishes, rolls, curries, and other Southeast Asian preparations. The leaves may be torn, sliced, or used whole as a garnish, changing their appearance and distribution.

Portions & preparation

Use the fresh leaves and tender stems as actually eaten, excluding tough stems or discarded trimmings. Rinsing, chopping, wilting, and cooking alter the edible form and portion description. Distinguish Vietnamese coriander from similarly named herbs, and record any dressing, broth, oil, or accompanying ingredients separately.

Compare the right form: Match a reference for fresh Vietnamese coriander leaves and tender stems, specifying raw or cooked condition and the edible portion retained after trimming.

Diet considerations

Vietnamese coriander is a plant-derived herb. Fresh leaves are generally used in plant-based dishes, but soups, salads, and prepared sauces may include fish sauce, shrimp, meat, egg, or other animal additions. The herb itself contributes little to a meal’s cereal-based carbohydrate pattern, which depends on accompanying foods and dressings.
