Com Tam, a popular Vietnamese dish, originated in the southern region of Vietnam. It consists of broken rice served with various accompaniments such as grilled pork, shredded pork skin, and a fried egg. The dish was traditionally a way to make use of broken rice grains, which were considered less valuable. Over time, it has become a beloved street food and is now served in restaurants around the world. The best version of this dish can be found in the bustling streets of Ho Chi Minh City, where skilled chefs expertly grill the pork to perfection and serve it with fragrant jasmine rice. The key to a delicious Com Tam lies in the tender, flavorful grilled pork and the perfectly cooked broken rice. It's a must-try for anyone visiting Vietnam or seeking an authentic taste of Vietnamese cuisine.
