Vietnamese mint (Cutting) ^10/10

Karen's Edible Fruits

Comments: - This is a very useful plant; can be used in salads, wraps, curries, broths, etc.  It is an essential ingredient in a favourite Asian dish of ours called "Assam Laksa" which is a rice noodle dish in a fish broth that is spicy and sour.  I've planted a cutting behind our water tank and it has just flourished there with very little care...I just water it occassionally.  We've been able to share the plant with many of our friends who are amazed at how well it is doing.  The vietnamese mint doesn't keep well after cutting so it is really a great herb to plant your own.
