From buffalo meat and some other ingredients, Hieu Muong, an expert on Muong Culture in Hoa Binh Province, is the trailblazer of a delicious dish - grilled bufflalo meat wrapped in pomelo leaves.
On an early winter’s day, we visited his museum area on Muong Culture l in Hoa Binh City and we had the opportunity to enjoy the delicious dish made with buffalo meat and pomelo leaves.
To prepare the dish, Hieu Muong selects a large piece of fresh buffalo meat and then cleans and finely chops it with lard and adds a dash of seasoning. First, he rolls each spoon of chopped meat with a piper lotot leaf to create the flavor for the dish and then grills the rolls over hot charcoal. He wraps the rolls with pomelo leaves before grilling them again until they become brown.
The dish is tastier served hot.
