II/ Vegetables to Accompany Vinegar Octopus

Many people wonder which vegetables go well with vinegar octopus. KINGFISH suggests some vegetables to complement and enhance the flavors of the dish:

1. Water spinach (rau diếp cá): Water spinach has a fresh and crisp taste, balancing the sourness of the vinegar. It is often used in dipping vinegar-based dishes like spring rolls.
2. Lettuce: Lettuce has a mild, fresh, and crisp texture. Adding lettuce to the dish enhances its freshness and appeal.
3. Raw vegetables: You can use various raw vegetables like water spinach, choy sum, celery, and cilantro to diversify your meal.
4. Perilla leaves (rau húng): Perilla leaves have a unique fragrance and a slightly spicy taste. Including perilla leaves in the dish elevates the flavor and adds color to the dipping sauce.

Choose the vegetables that you prefer and combine them according to your taste to create a flavorful and enticing vinegar octopus meal.
