The basis of Vietnamese meals is usually rice. Rice is almost always served with a meat dish or vegetable mix. Traditionally, each person is served with a bowl of rice while the main dish is shared. Vietnamese and Chinese dishes are similar, but still have many differences. The primary difference between Vietnamese and Chinese food is the Vietnamese food is much lighter and uses a fish sauce for seasoning.
Vietnamese food is full of flavor using many different seasonings including lemongrass, curry, ginger, onion, vinegar, garlic, cilantro, mint, basil, sugar, fennel and coriander. The goal of a Vietnamese cook is to create a balance of spice, sweet, bitter, salt and sour into something delicious. The majority of Vietnamese meals are vegan; however, there are plenty of meat dishes.
There are different dishes based on different regions of Vietnam. For example, Northern Vietnam doesn’t use as many spices and uses vegetables that are available in their colder weather. Southern Vietnam uses more herbs and the dishes tend to be quite a bit sweeter. Central Vietnam focuses primarily on seafood dishes.
The most popular Vietnamese dishes include Bun Cha, Mi Xao Don, Mi Bo Vein, Bun Oc, Com Gar Au Thom, and Bahn Bao. These dishes range from an egg noodle soup with meatballs, vermicelli noodles and a meat of pork, chicken or even sea snails. Dumplings are even popular in Vietnam. You can expect almost every dish of Vietnamese cuisine to be served with vermicelli noodles or rice.
