About Vietnam Cuisine

Vietnamese dinner recipes are light, fragrant and balanced. Fresh herbs, fish sauce, lime, chilli and rice are the constants — from the clear beef broth of phở to the crisp freshness of gỏi cuốn spring rolls. Dishes are assembled at the table, so every eater seasons their own bowl.

Vietnamese cooking favours fresh over heavy: herbs are used by the handful, broths are clear rather than creamy, and sour, salty, sweet and spicy appear in the same dish. Rice and rice noodles anchor most meals, with pork, beef, chicken and seafood providing protein.

Explore Vietnamese recipes below — phở, spring rolls and braised pork with eggs — and cook the flavours of Vietnam at home.
