What you are describing is Rau Ram also known as Vietnamese coriander. It is very easy to grow in pots and can be rooted in water every little section of the stem will produce roots. You can keep a bunch of cut stems in a vase on a window sill , use the leaves as needed the plant the stems as roots develop. use only the leaves in recipes, but crush the stems and simmer in oil to make an oil flvored with the herb. it can be substituted for cilantro. -- Andie Paysinger & the PENDRAGON Basenjis,Teafer,Cheesy,Singer & Player asenji@earthlink.net So.
