Question I bought an herb at the Korean grocery the other day called "Kaw Thong". I can't find any info on it on the internet. On most herbs I buy there I can find some information. They are often used in Vietnamese, Thai or Oriental cooking. I have found "La Lot", "Tia To" and Rau Ram". Sometimes the names are not exactly as marked by the Korean grocer if it is a Vietnamese or Thai herb.
Any info how I might find it would be appreciated. Thank you.
Answer Hi Fred,
I've been through all my data base, and alas, cannot find an herb named "Kaw Thong." I would suggest that you go to one of the sites that show pictures of Vietnamese or Thai herbs. As you suggested, sometimes the names they are sold under are from a local area.
There are many varieties of herbs. And, most can be identified by the picture.
