  • We love leftovers
    Hmong people dislike wasting food, so when herbs and vegetables are used in cooking, the whole thing is used, stems and all. Some vegetables that are not traditionally grown for Hmong cuisine are used anyway, like beetroot or radish leaves, to minimise food waste. You can be creative with this recipe and use whatever leftover greens you have in the fridge.
