Also called fermented tea leaf salad, it is an unusual dish where actual tea leaves are the star of the dish! Freshly picked tea leaves are collected and placed in bamboo vats for three to four months, with a weight pressing it down to allow fermentation. The fresh leaves are very bitter and not suitable to eat on their own. After this, the leaves get mixed up with fried yellow split lentils or butter beans, toasted sesame seeds, roasted peanuts, fried garlic, dried shrimp, shredded cabbage, tomatoes, chilli, and oil. It is further garnished with lime juice and fish sauce before serving.
