Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare Broth: In a wide tabletop hot pot, combine the coconut water, vinegar, sugar, lemongrass, and sliced onion. Bring to a simmer. Adjust sugar and vinegar so it is pleasantly sweet and tart.

  2. 2

    Prepare Platter: Arrange the paper-thin beef slices nicely on a large platter.

  3. 3

    Set the Table: Set out bowls of warm water for the rice paper. Arrange platters of rice noodles, lettuce, and all the fresh herbs and sliced green banana/star fruit. Set out individual bowls of the pungent Mắm Nêm dipping sauce.

  4. 4

    Cook (At the table): Diners use chopsticks to pick up a slice of beef and dip it into the boiling vinegar broth for 10-15 seconds until just cooked through.

  5. 5

    Wrap: Dip a sheet of rice paper in warm water. Lay it flat, add lettuce, herbs, noodles, and the hot cooked beef.

  6. 6

    Eat: Roll it up tightly like a spring roll, dip heavily into the Mắm Nêm sauce, and enjoy.
