In Episode 2 of Luke Nguyen’s Vietnam, Luke stops off in Dong Hoi and prepares a dish for a family on route to Vinh. After another three hours' drive, Luke explores the vibrant market lifestyle in this small country town, where locals, all too keen to lend a hand with his recipes of chargrilled eel and pork neck, overrun him. He also visits a family living on a rickety stilt house in the middle of the lake, where he prepares a pickled bamboo and tamarind soup for some keen kids ready to pass judgement on their local dish.
