Type of Meals Served:

Vietnamese Cuisine is known for its common use of fish sauce, soy sauce, rice, fresh herbs, fruits and vegetables. Vietnamese recipes use many vegetables, herbs and spices, including lemon grass, lime, and kaffir lime leaves. Throughout all regions of Vietnam, the emphasis is always on serving fresh vegetables and/or fresh herbs as side dishes along with dipping sauce. The Vietnamese also have a number of vegetarian dishes, influenced by their Buddhist beliefs. The most common meats used in Vietnamese cuisine are pork, beef, chicken, shrimp, and various kinds of seafood.



The three regions

Vietnamese cuisine can be basically divided into three categories, each pertaining to a specific region. With northern Vietnam being the cradle of Vietnamese civilization, many of Vietnam's most famous dishes (such as ph and bnh cun) have their birthplace in the North. The North's cuisine is more traditional and more strict in choosing spices and ingredients.



The cuisine of South Vietnam has been influenced historically by the cuisines of southern Chinese immigrants and French colonists. Southerners prefer sweet flavors in many dishes. As a region of more diversity, the South's cuisine uses a wider variety of herbs.



The cuisine of Central Vietnam is quite different from the cuisines of both the Northern and Southern regions in its use of many small side dishes. Compared to its counterparts, its cuisine is more spicy.
