Ingredients:
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 4 cloves garlic
- 2 tsp nuoc mam (fish sauce)
- 2 tsp gingerroot, grated
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1/2 tsp sugar
- Dash of black pepper
- 1 green onion, finely chopped
- 25 grape leaves
- 4 tbsp fish sauce
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tbsp vinegar
- 2 tsp sugar
- 3/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tbsp gingerroot, shredded
- 2 tbsp carrots, shredded
Instructions:
-
Prepare Grape Leaves:
- Rinse grape leaves in hot water and drain them well.
-
Prepare Beef Mixture:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with minced garlic, 2 tsp of nuoc mam (fish sauce), grated gingerroot, chopped cilantro, 1/2 tsp of sugar, a dash of black pepper, and finely chopped green onion. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
-
Roll the Filling:
- Take a grape leaf and place a generous tablespoonful of the beef mixture onto it. Roll the grape leaf around the filling, folding it envelope-style to enclose the beef mixture securely.
-
Prepare Dipping Sauce:
- In another bowl, prepare the dipping sauce by mixing together 4 tbsp of fish sauce, 1/2 cup of water, 2 tbsp of vinegar, 2 tsp of sugar, crushed red pepper flakes, and minced garlic cloves. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Add the shredded gingerroot and carrots to the sauce, stirring until evenly distributed.
-
Grill or Broil:
- Thread the rolled beef and grape leaf parcels onto skewers. If using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in water for 20-30 minutes beforehand to prevent burning.
- Grill the rolls over medium-high heat or broil them, positioning them about 6 inches from the heat source. Cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the beef is cooked through and the grape leaves are slightly charred, turning occasionally for even cooking.
-
Serve:
- Once cooked, serve the Thit Bo Cuon La Luop rolls hot off the grill, accompanied by the flavorful dipping sauce for an extra burst of deliciousness.
