So, in this matter, we do our utmost to give you insight into all we know about it.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-14363\" src=\"https:\/\/vietnamchik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/Screenshot_1-1.jpg\" alt=\"The best Vietnamese food\" width=\"1134\" height=\"790\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vietnamchik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/Screenshot_1-1.jpg 1134w, https:\/\/vietnamchik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/Screenshot_1-1-300x209.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vietnamchik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/Screenshot_1-1-1024x713.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/vietnamchik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/Screenshot_1-1-768x535.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1134px) 100vw, 1134px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>What are the main features of the greatest meals and what sets them apart from the rest?<\/p>\n<h3>Ingredients<\/h3>\n<p>The dishes can be considered to be the best ones if they consist of the proper ingredients. The top one thing speaking of the importance of the ingredients is freshness. Everything prepared in this cuisine is made of fresh products, such as freshly picked vegetables and live seafood. Moreover, when cooking, they use a relatively small amount of sugar and oil, which creates amazingly delicious and healthy dishes..<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"blocquote-3\"><p>It is also worth mentioning five vital ingredients that distinguish Vietnamese food. They are the following ones: chili, coriander, fish sauce, Vietnamese mint, and ginger.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Experts say that a careful approach to the choice of ingredients is what differs Vietnamese cuisine and makes it so special and irresistible. But this is surely not the only feature that sets local food apart and causes a desire to eat it to your full.<\/p>\n<h3>Harmony<\/h3>\n<p>Not only have the ingredients made Vietnamese dishes so special and so loved by people all over the world. The greatness and intrinsic nature of national cuisine are also driven by its harmony referred to as the whole cooking process. The main feature of Vietnamese dishes is their texture that is obtained during the preparation of meals. Here we mean that many local dishes are left soft from inside but crunchy from outside, which makes your mouth water just from hearing about it!<\/p>\n<p>One more special aspect about Vietnamese food is that locals note matching taste and daytime and also taste and season. Besides, Vietnamese cooks follow the approach of\u00a0 \u201cthe five tastes of the dishes\u201d and know how to combine them correctly. What are these five tastes? Pretty much everyone knows them. These tastes are: sweet, sour, bitter, pungent, and sour.<\/p>\n<p>The cooks in Vietnam have learned to combine all these tastes extremely well throughout the years and this is why the tourists get amazed when they get acquainted with local cuisine. From the very first tasting experience, most Vietnamese dishes become the favorites for the majority of tourists. If you don\u2019t believe this, just go ahead and try this out!<\/p>\n<h2>The dishes you must try<\/h2>\n<p>If you have firmly decided to visit Vietnam, plan your experience of local cuisine, and seek to try out the most special local dishes that are just an absolute must. They will bring you great joy and aesthetic pleasure and you will certainly remember these tasting impressions for the rest of your life.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-14365\" src=\"https:\/\/vietnamchik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/Screenshot_3-1.jpg\" alt=\"The best Vietnamese food\" width=\"1181\" height=\"783\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vietnamchik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/Screenshot_3-1.jpg 1181w, https:\/\/vietnamchik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/Screenshot_3-1-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vietnamchik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/Screenshot_3-1-1024x679.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/vietnamchik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/Screenshot_3-1-768x509.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1181px) 100vw, 1181px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Hot dishes<\/h3>\n<p>Firstly, let\u2019s have a look at the best hot Vietnamese dishes. They will make your mouth water and lead to the richest taste impressions possible. So, let\u2019s begin!<\/p>\n<h4>Pho, or noodle soup<\/h4>\n<p>This one got extremely popular among tourists recently. Its main ingredients are broth, herbs, meat (normally it\u2019s beef), and rice noodles. It doesn\u2019t only taste good but also looks attractive as a dish. In various regions, it\u2019s served in different ways. This soup is considered to be street food.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_14366\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1219px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-14366 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/vietnamchik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/Screenshot_4.jpg\" alt=\"Pho, or noodle soup\" width=\"1219\" height=\"834\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vietnamchik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/Screenshot_4.jpg 1219w, https:\/\/vietnamchik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/Screenshot_4-300x205.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vietnamchik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/Screenshot_4-1024x701.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/vietnamchik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/Screenshot_4-768x525.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1219px) 100vw, 1219px\" \/><div class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pho, or noodle soup<\/div><\/div>\n<h4>Banh Mi, or a vegetable sandwich<\/h4>\n<p>Note that it\u2019s a vegetable sandwich, and if you enjoy veggies, you will especially like it. Actually, the word Bahn mi itself means bread. This sandwich can be cooked in various ways, but normally its ingredients are represented by veggies (cucumbers, coriander leaves, radishes, and pickled carrots), meats, and condiments. The seasonings typically include Maggi, mayo, chilis and chili sauce. So, get ready for a bit of a spicy taste!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_14367\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1231px;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-14367 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/vietnamchik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/Screenshot_5.jpg\" alt=\"Banh Mi, or a vegetable sandwich\" width=\"1231\" height=\"820\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vietnamchik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/Screenshot_5.jpg 1231w, https:\/\/vietnamchik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/Screenshot_5-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vietnamchik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/Screenshot_5-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/vietnamchik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/Screenshot_5-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1231px) 100vw, 1231px\" \/><div class=\"wp-caption-text\">Banh Mi, or a vegetable sandwich<\/div><\/div>\n<h4>Ca Kho To, or caramelized fish<\/h4>\n<p>This is what we meant by the combinations of tastes. Sounds very unusual and tempting, right? We think just the same. This dish is very popular and Vietnamese often eat it with white rice and vegetables, which serves as proof of healthy food again. Caramelized fish is usually cooked in clay pots, which looks especially good and is very convenient for those who enjoy its taste.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_14368\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1119px;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-14368 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/vietnamchik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/Screenshot_6.jpg\" alt=\"Ca Kho To, or caramelized fish\" width=\"1119\" height=\"735\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vietnamchik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/Screenshot_6.jpg 1119w, https:\/\/vietnamchik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/Screenshot_6-300x197.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vietnamchik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/Screenshot_6-1024x673.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/vietnamchik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/Screenshot_6-768x504.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1119px) 100vw, 1119px\" \/><div class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ca Kho To, or caramelized fish<\/div><\/div>\n<h4>Bun Thit Nuong, which is noodle with pork<\/h4>\n<p>One of the most loved dishes across Vietnam. After this one, you definitely won\u2019t feel hungry! Pork isn\u2019t just boiled or fried but grilled, which makes the dish especially tempting. This food also includes plenty of vegetables, such as mint, salad, and basil. There\u2019s a special dressing, which adds more taste to the meal. Vietnamese have also created plenty of variations for this dish, which will amaze you by the richness of taste.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_14369\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1280px;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14369\" src=\"https:\/\/vietnamchik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/Screenshot_7.jpg\" alt=\"Bun Thit Nuong, which is noodle with pork\" width=\"1280\" height=\"772\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vietnamchik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/Screenshot_7.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/vietnamchik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/Screenshot_7-300x181.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vietnamchik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/Screenshot_7-1024x618.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/vietnamchik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/Screenshot_7-768x463.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><div class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bun Thit Nuong, which is noodle with pork<\/div><\/div>\n<h4>Bun Cha, or rice vermicelli with meat and herbs<\/h4>\n<p>As you can see from the name and description, there might be some similarities with the previous dish. Certainly, it\u2019s also about including rice vermicelli. This one has its roots in Hanoi. Except for noodles and pork, this one includes dipping sauce and plenty of herbs. The dipping sauce is extremely rich in taste for a simple reason: it contains many great ingredients, such as lemon juice, chili, fish sauce mixed with sugar, vinegar, garlic, and stock. So much, yum!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_14370\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1249px;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14370\" src=\"https:\/\/vietnamchik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/Screenshot_8.jpg\" alt=\"Bun Cha, or rice vermicelli with meat and herbs\" width=\"1249\" height=\"872\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vietnamchik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/Screenshot_8.jpg 1249w, https:\/\/vietnamchik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/Screenshot_8-300x209.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vietnamchik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/Screenshot_8-1024x715.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/vietnamchik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/Screenshot_8-768x536.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1249px) 100vw, 1249px\" \/><div class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bun Cha, or rice vermicelli with meat and herbs<\/div><\/div>\n<h4>Banh xeo, or pancake with pork, shrimps, and beans<\/h4>\n<p>This tasty pancake is made of rice. It is very crispy, and that\u2019s the main reason why so many tourists like it. The name certainly has an explanation: it is connected with the sound made when the rice batter is poured into a hot skillet. This meal doesn\u2019t refer just to Vietnamese cuisine, it also gained huge popularity in Cambodian cuisine.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_14371\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1204px;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14371\" src=\"https:\/\/vietnamchik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/Screenshot_9.jpg\" alt=\"Banh xeo, or pancake with pork, shrimps, and beans\" width=\"1204\" height=\"852\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vietnamchik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/Screenshot_9.jpg 1204w, https:\/\/vietnamchik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/Screenshot_9-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vietnamchik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/Screenshot_9-1024x725.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/vietnamchik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/Screenshot_9-768x543.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1204px) 100vw, 1204px\" \/><div class=\"wp-caption-text\">Banh xeo, or pancake with pork, shrimps, and beans<\/div><\/div>\n<h3>Desserts<\/h3>\n<p>Oh well\u2026 Just this one word makes so many people dream of having it immediately! It\u2019s hard to find people who demonstrate their indifference to the desserts. And Vietnamese cuisine is ready to offer you many of them. So, let\u2019s start exploring.<\/p>\n<h4>Bang Dau Xanh, which is mung bean pastry<\/h4>\n<p>The main ingredients of this dish are the following: vegetable oil or pork fat, sugar (it\u2019s impossible to imagine the dessert without it), mung beans, and flavorings. The best kind of drink to have with it is certainly green tea or lotus tea if you like such.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_14372\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1135px;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14372\" src=\"https:\/\/vietnamchik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/Screenshot_10.jpg\" alt=\"Bang Dau Xanh, which is mung bean pastry\" width=\"1135\" height=\"705\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vietnamchik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/Screenshot_10.jpg 1135w, https:\/\/vietnamchik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/Screenshot_10-300x186.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vietnamchik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/Screenshot_10-1024x636.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/vietnamchik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/Screenshot_10-768x477.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1135px) 100vw, 1135px\" \/><div class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bang Dau Xanh, which is mung bean pastry<\/div><\/div>\n<h4>Che Ba Mau (three-color dessert)<\/h4>\n<p>We bet that the description three-color has already made you rather curious. The matter is that the colors are green (contains jelly pieces), yellow (mung bean paste), and red (adzuki beans). Looks very impressive! And of course, when you see it, you wish to try it right away. Moreover, it contains coconut milk, which is an irreplaceable attribute of Asian cuisine.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_14373\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1059px;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14373\" src=\"https:\/\/vietnamchik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/Screenshot_11.jpg\" alt=\"Che Ba Mau (three-color dessert)\" width=\"1059\" height=\"766\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vietnamchik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/Screenshot_11.jpg 1059w, https:\/\/vietnamchik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/Screenshot_11-300x217.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vietnamchik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/Screenshot_11-1024x741.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/vietnamchik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/Screenshot_11-768x556.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1059px) 100vw, 1059px\" \/><div class=\"wp-caption-text\">Che Ba Mau (three-color dessert)<\/div><\/div>\n<h4>Banh Tieu (hollow doughnuts)<\/h4>\n<p>Doughnuts are thought to be a feature of US cuisine but, as you can see, it\u2019s not only the American stuff. Moreover, these doughnuts don\u2019t look like the American ones at all.

So, let\u2019s see what exotic stuff Vietnamese have and what you might try there.<\/p>\n<h4>Snake\/ scorpion wine, or Ruou thuoc<\/h4>\n<p>Sounds crazy, right?
