Diverse Vietnam Food Culture

Diverse Cuisine


Vietnamese dishes are loved for their healthy and flavorful taste. Almost anyone who has tasted Vietnamese food commended the perfect seasoning, and this delicate, impeccable seasoning is also why Vietnamese often find it hard to adjust to the bland seasoning style of western cuisine or the strong spiciness or sourness of Thai and Indian taste.

About


The use of spices and fresh herbs is certainly one of the factors that set one cuisine apart from another. Besides salt and sugar - the worldwide spices, in a Vietnamese kitchen you will very likely see the following: shallot, scallion, garlic, ground pepper, onion, lime, scallion, lemongrass, ginger, and very popular Vietnamese herbs like perilla, basil, cilantro, culantro , chives, and peppermint (hung que). Fish sauce is another must. Without these ingredients (especially the fish sauce, shallot, scallion, and garlic), it is almost an impossible job for a cook to create the authentic Vietnamese taste. Neither the aroma nor the taste will be quite Vietnamese.
