🥟 Fried Spring Rolls – A Crispy Delight
We begin our journey with one of Vietnam’s most iconic appetizers: crispy fried spring rolls. Made from delicate green bean flour wrappers and filled with a savory mix of taro, carrots, minced pork, and fragrant spices, these golden bites are as fun to make as they are to eat. Learn the secrets to achieving that perfect crunch and balanced flavor that make this dish a staple on every Vietnamese table.
🍖 Savory Caramelized Pork Belly – A Flavorful Classic
Next, master the rich and comforting flavors of caramelized pork belly (thịt kho) — a dish that perfectly showcases the balance of sweet, salty, and umami in Vietnamese cuisine. With tender cuts of pork slowly braised in fish sauce, sugar, black pepper, and golden caramel, this soulful comfort food will quickly win a place in your cooking repertoire.
🍠 Purple Yam Soup with Shrimp – A Rustic Comfort Dish
To round out your culinary experience, you’ll prepare canh khoai mỡ nấu tôm – a traditional soup known for its stunning purple color and smooth, creamy texture. Finely grated purple yam and sweet shrimp come together in a light, nourishing broth that’s as beautiful as it is satisfying. It's a taste of rural Vietnam, rich in warmth and simplicity.
