what to eat in vietnam
phosphorusarrive
Pho is a staple in Vietnam and actually refers to the flat rice noodles used to make this dish. It consists of these noodles, medium rare beef or chicken and beef broth, usually with vegetables such as shallots, lemon and bird’s eye chili. Two popular versions of this dish are Hanoi Pho and Nam Pho.
banh mi
If you like good sandwiches, you must give the Banh Mi sandwich a try. This quintessential dish is actually a French-Vietnamese fusion, thanks to the bread. The sandwich uses meat sauce and margarine as a spread, then is topped with toppings such as pickled vegetables, fresh cilantro, pork belly, pork floss and cucumber. Every bite is a textural treat for the most amazingly delicious experience.
Banhesio
Banh Xeo is a popular dish all over the country. Essentially a crispy crepe, this dish is inherently savory, and it’s as much an aural experience as it is a delicious treat. The batter crackles when it hits the hot pan and curls around the edges, creating crispy curls. Although it looks like an omelet/egg batter, the reality is far from it. It’s made with rice flour, coconut milk and turmeric, and it’s filled with boiled pork, shrimp, bean sprouts and minced meat.
