Description

Swan Brand Pickled Leek in Brine – Cu Kieu (28.5 oz) is a jar of small pickled leek bulbs preserved in brine, a fixture on the Vietnamese Tet table and a year-round side dish for rich, fatty food. The bulbs stay crunchy and translucent, with a sharp-sweet pickle tang and a mild allium bite. The 28.5 oz jar is a family size – enough for holiday meals or for keeping in the fridge and using a little at a time.

• Type / Loai hang: pickled leek bulbs in brine (cu kieu ngam / dua kieu)
• Net weight: 28.5 oz jar
• Taste: tangy, lightly sweet and salty, crunchy texture
• Classic pairings: banh chung, banh tet, thit kho trung, gio cha, boiled and roast meats
• Serve: straight from the jar, chilled or at room temperature

How to serve / Cach dung

Spoon out what you need with a clean, dry utensil and serve as a side dish. During Tet it sits next to banh chung and banh tet, cutting through the richness of sticky rice and pork. It is also excellent with thit kho trung, roast pork, boiled chicken, cold cuts and rice porridge. Some cooks chop the bulbs and stir them into dipping sauces or salads for a sharp, crunchy accent.

Storage / Bao quan

Keep the jar sealed in a cool place before opening. After opening, refrigerate and always use a clean dry spoon, keeping the bulbs submerged in the brine so they stay crisp and do not spoil.
