About Vietnamese Food
Vietnamese food is one of the most varied and seductive on the planet – a delicious mix of the food of its colonial visitors and age-old flavours and techniques. One example is the combination of crisp golden baguette brushed with nuoc cham – a mix of fish sauce, vinegar, garlic and chilli – the basis of a shredded chicken or pork sandwich with lots of crisp salad and herbs seen at the many Vietnamese sandwich shops proliferating in our big cities.
Vietnamese dishes are fresh, have a depth of flavour and seem to have amazing health properties at the same time. Have you ever eaten a bowl of pho with all the accompaniments when you're feeling less than 100 per cent? One chef friend calls pho the Vietnamese equivalent of Jewish chicken soup; it's good for the body and the soul.
Or have you had a few mouthfuls of green papaya salad when your palate is feeling jaded? Instant zing! More than any other cuisine, Vietnamese food centres on herbs and uses an amazing array along with salad greens in many dishes. These are eaten for their healing properties as well as for their taste.
