Đậu sốt cà chua (stir-fried tofu in tomato sauce) is a dish that evokes childhood memories in most Vietnamese homes. The deep-fried tofu is left marinated in a silky homemade tomato sauce and is both comforting and flavourful. It is best enjoyed with a bowl of steamed rice, which perfectly soaks in the various textures and flavours.

Nộm hoa chuối (banana blossom salad) is a salad that brings together tender layers of banana flower with a tangy dressing, resulting in a symphony of flavours for the eater to enjoy. As the salad is assembled, the banana flower takes centre stage and is then surrounded by an array of fresh produce, including bean sprouts, green papaya, carrots, and coriander, as wel as infusing the dish with refreshing aromas.

Nộm đu đủ xoài xanh (green papaya & mango salad) combines raw, green papaya, and ripe mangoes. The julienned green papaya provides a crunch and tang to the salad, while the juicy ripe mangoes contribute to the rich sweetness of the dish. The salad is often adorned with an array of aromatic herbs such as cilantro and mint, which serve to infuse the dish with a delightful fragrance. The dish is a celebration of the nation’s depth of fresh ingredients.
