Why is Vietnamese cuisine popular and unique all at once?

After tasting the pungent sauces and fresh herbs in their dishes, you’ll have your answer.

Despite Vietnam’s varied geography, all their recipes contain a wonderful balance of sour, sweet, heat & aromatics. As is the case with all Asian cuisines, chefs and cooks use sweet and salty, warming and cooling and fermented and fresh foods.

How do their neighbors influence different areas of Vietnam?

The Chinese influenced foods in the north, with noodle-based congees and soups and stir-fry dishes.

In central Vietnam, the flavors lean toward the neighboring countries of Cambodia and Thailand. And in the tropical climate of southern Vietnam, you’ll find more herb gardens, jackfruit trees, coconut groves and rice paddies. Southern Vietnamese dishes tend to use more sweetness, even in savory recipes.

French colonization also influenced Vietnamese food. The banh mi dish of Vietnam has a foundation of French baguettes. However, Vietnamese recipes make the baguettes their own, using fish patties, grilled pork, cilantro, sardines, and other fillings.
