The Story of Mi Vit Tiem at Com Com Restaurant
Mi Vit Tiem, deeply rooted in Vietnamese culinary tradition, tells a story of resourcefulness and flavor. Originally, street vendors would use every part of the duck, creating a rich and flavorful broth simmered for hours. At Com Com Restaurant, we honor this tradition, using only the freshest ingredients and time-honored techniques. Our version, inspired by family recipes passed down through generations, captures the essence of Vietnamese street food, bringing a taste of Hanoi to Battersea.
Gathering Your Ingredients: A Trip to the Vietnamese Market (or Your Local Supermarket)
Creating authentic Mi Vit Tiem requires a blend of unique ingredients, readily available at Asian supermarkets or, in a pinch, your local grocery store.
