Cooked rice from fractured rice "Cơm tấm"

Cơm tấm: cooked rice from fractured rice grains. Tấm refers to the broken rice grains while cơm refers to cooked rice.

It is usually served with grilled pork (either ribs or shredded) plus a Vietnamese dish called bì (thinly shredded pork mixed with cooked and thinly shredded pork skin) over broken rice. The rice and meat are served with various greens and pickled vegetables, along with a prawn paste cake, trứng hấp (the Vietnamese adaptation of Chinese egg foo young), and grilled prawns. Typically restaurants will serve this popular combination rice plate with a small bowl of nước chấm, as well as a small bowl of soup broth with spring onions (to cleanse the throat).
