BO LUC LAC (VIETNAMESE SHAKING BEEF)

Marinated in the most delicious umami flavors of soy sauce, fish sauce, oyster sauce, and of course a touch of coconut sugar for sweetness, this wok seared Vietnamese Shaking Beef (Bo Luc Lac) is served with marinated onions and Vietnamese dipping sauce (nuoc cham).

What is Bo Luc Lac
