Vietnamese Coriander
A unique herb to add to your collection. Vietnamese coriander has a flavour similar to coriander but with an extra citrusy/peppery punch. Unlike coriander this herb is incredibly easy to grow, providing a steady supply of narrow, pointed leaves with pretty burgundy markings. Traditionally a key ingredient in Vietnamese noodle soup however, its pungent flavour is also fabulous in spring rolls, salads, curries and stir-fries.
