[Unlock the Rich and Flavorful Culture of Vietnamese Cuisine!]
Vietnamese cuisine is a unique blend of five fundamental tastes: sweet, salty, bitter, sour, and spicy. These elements, as well as fresh ingredients, herbs, and vegetables, combine to create a range of dishes that reflect the country’s five-pronged philosophy. Traditional dishes often feature lemongrass, ginger, mint, long coriander, Saigon cinnamon, bird’s eye chili, lime, and Thai basil leaves. Low in sugar and mostly gluten-free, Vietnamese cuisine is shaped by the cuisines of neighboring China, Cambodia and Laos, as well as French colonial rule over the Indochina region from 1877 to 1854.
