Traditional Vietnamese Food

Traditional Vietnamese Cuisine

Did you know that Vietnamese culture is one of the oldest in all Southeast Asia? This impressive feat has given the Vietnamese people plenty of time to master their art of cooking. Today, the best Vietnamese food staples are in restaurants in many major cities around the world.

In this article, we’ll be exploring famous Vietnamese dishes from noodle soups to popular Vietnamese street food. You’ll have the opportunity to find out not only what ingredients are in each dish, but also the history and tastes behind every dish. To start off our discussion, we’ll begin with Bun Cha, a flavorful and simple dish and also a very popular food in Vietnam.

1. Bun Cha (Vietnamese Meat Balls)

Vietnamese Food Bun Cha Meat-Balls

Bun Cha has roots in Hanoi, which is the capital of Vietnam. If you’ve ever visited Hanoi, you may know that you can find bun cha on any street you pass. It is a traditional Vietnamese dish that remains a popular Vietnamese street food today.

Bun Cha is essentially a noodle dish filled with meatballs, broth, herbs, and spices. The dish is made by making flat patties out of ground pork in a mixture of fish sauce, sugar, and spices. You then grill the pork until it is caramelized and slightly charred. The pork meatballs are then served with a bowl of rice vermicelli noodles, fresh greens, and sometimes herbs, along with a dipping sauce made from a mixture of fish sauce, sugar, garlic, and vinegar.

What I love about Bun Cha is it has this great taste, with a balance of sweet, salty, sour, and spicy flavors. It is no wonder that it is considered one of the most delicious traditional Vietnamese dishes. Make these at home with this delicious recipe!

2. Banh Mi (Vietnamese Baguette)

Vietnamese Food Banh Mi

Banh Mi is another popular food in Vietnam and could easily be mistaken for a baguette by the untrained eye. What gives away its origins is that it is significantly shorter than a traditional French baguette. This similarity is not a coincidence since it is a product of the French introducing baguettes to the Vietnamese during the 1800s. 

Along with the baguettes, the French also brought their love of sandwiches to Vietnam. However, over time, the Vietnamese departed from ham and cheese sandwiches which were, and still are, a favorite of the French. Instead, they incorporated their own flavors into their own Vietnamese baguette. The dish originated in Saigon, Vietnam (now known as Ho Chi Minh City), and is widely enjoyed in Vietnam and other countries.

To make Bánh Mì, a baguette is split open and filled with meats, such as grilled pork or chicken pâté, pickled vegetables like carrots and daikon, fresh herbs like cilantro and mint, and sauces such as mayonnaise and chili sauce. The sandwich is then toasted to warm the ingredients, before being served. These sandwiches may be filled with pork, cucumbers, sardines, or pickled carrots. 

Bánh Mì can be found at restaurants and cafes and is a popular Vietnamese street food. It is a reasonably priced dish, with prices varying depending on the type of ingredients used. Follow the Recipe here to make your own at home.

3. Banh Xeo (Vietnamese Crepes)

Best Vietnamese Food Banh Xeo

Banh Xeo may look like an omelet, but it’s not the kind of omelet you might know. Instead of fluffy and sugary, it is made from rice flour and turmeric along with water to turn the mixture into a smooth batter. 

This traditional Vietnamese food takes a little more effort to make at home than the previous dish. To make Banh Xeo, you first make a batter by mixing rice flour, coconut milk, turmeric, and salt. Then pour it into a pan and make a thin crepe. Add the pork, shrimp, mung bean, bean sprouts, and some green onion in the center of the crepe, which is then folded in half to seal the filling inside. The Banh Xeo is then fried until crispy and golden brown on both sides.

When you serve Banh Xeo make sure to have lettuce leaves and herbs, which are used to wrap the crepe, along with dipping sauces like nuoc cham or a sweet chili sauce. To eat it, cut off a larger-than-bite-sized piece, wrap it in the lettuce leaves or rice paper, and dip it into the sauce before taking a bite. Delicious.

Banh Xeo is undoubtedly a savory rather than a sweet dish. It reminds me of an omelet but it doesn’t use any eggs. You are going to love them, especially if you try this recipe!

4. Bun Bo Hue (Spicy Beef & Pork Rice Noodles Soup)

Traditional Vietnamese Food Bun Bo Hue

If you are looking for the best food in Vietnam in soup form, look no further than bun bo hue. Its name pays homage to its origins since this dish comes from the city of Hue. However, this soup is not for the picky eater since it is often made with pig knuckles and congealed blood. This definitely qualifies as a traditional Vietnamese food.

It is known for its spicy and flavorful broth made from a combination of beef and pork bones, lemongrass, and a variety of spices such as chili pepper, shrimp paste, and garlic.

To make Bun Bo Hue, the broth is first simmered for several hours to extract the flavors from the bones and spices. The noodles used for the dish are thick and round, made from rice flour and tapioca flour. The noodles are then cooked in boiling water until they are soft and tender.

In addition to the noodles, the broth is typically served with a variety of ingredients, including thinly sliced beef, round slices of cooked ham, and pig’s blood cubes.

5. Pho (Noodle soup)

Famous Vietnamese Food Pho

More likely than not, you’ve already heard of pho. It is one of Vietnam’s most popular soups next to bun bo hue. It is also a great alternative if bun bo hue sounds a little too much for you.

What really makes Pho so good, like most Vietnamese soups is the broth. You have to simmer beef bones and aromatic spices such as cinnamon, star anise, cloves, and ginger for several hours. This really creates that rich, savory broth that is the foundation of the dish.

Once the broth is ready to go, place the noodles in a bowl and pour it over them. Then add your favorite ingredients, I like to use thin slices of raw beef or cooked chicken, and then add the flavor explosion of basil, cilantro, and mint, as well as bean sprouts, lime wedges, and chili peppers.

Depending on where you get your pho, it could be mild or very spicy. The dish can be customized to individual tastes, with options for adding additional ingredients such as hoisin sauce, sriracha, or chili paste to adjust the level of spice or sweetness. Try making it at home

Banh Cuon are rolls of fermented rice batter made into rice paper. It is a typical Vietnamese food you simply cannot pass up. The Vietnamese rice paper wraps up little balls of pork and minced mushrooms, resulting in little packets of flavor.

You then pour it onto a large, flat steamer basket and steam it until it is cooked through and translucent.

When you serve the Banh Cuon top it with chopped herbs, bean sprouts, and cucumber slices. It is best when served with a dipping sauce that is made up of fish sauce, vinegar, and chili peppers.

These rolls need to be cooked very carefully because the batter is so thin. Because of this, they are briefly steamed and soon ready to eat. They are the perfect dish to make at home.
