About Com tam

Com Tam, or broken rice, is a beloved dish from Vietnamese cuisine, traditionally served as a versatile and flavorful meal. At its core, Com Tam features fractured rice grains, often accompanied by toppings like grilled pork (suon nuong), shredded pork skin (bi), steamed egg custard (cha trung), and sometimes a fried egg. It's commonly garnished with sliced cucumbers, tomatoes, pickled vegetables, and scallions, and served with a sweet-savory fish sauce dressing (nuoc cham). This dish is a balanced combination of carbohydrates, protein, and fiber, offering essential nutrients. Grilled meats provide protein, while the broken rice is a source of energy. However, sodium levels can be high due to fish sauce and seasonings, and certain cuts of pork may contribute saturated fats. For a healthier variation, lean protein and reduced-sodium dressing can be incorporated. Com Tam delivers a rich melding of taste and tradition in every bite.
