Eating habits in Vietnam

Vietnam is rich in rice, and the people's daily staple food is japonica rice, and some ethnic groups are mainly glutinous rice (such as Thais). At the same time, there are some miscellaneous grains, such as corn, cassava and potatoes. Home-cooked meals are rice, boiled spinach, fish sauce and crab soup. Among them, the juice of glutinous rice mixed with wooden turtle (a vegetable plant) is particularly popular. This kind of rice looks bright and bright red, tastes sweet and has nourishing effect. Rice is usually cooked in a pot, but in mountainous areas, green bamboo tubes are also commonly used to cook rice, and glutinous rice is generally steamed in retort. Pasta is mainly scones and pies. Vietnamese people like to make pies, pancakes and all kinds of vermicelli with rice noodles. Braised rice noodles and beef porridge are also popular popular foods. Vietnam's big, square and round glutinous rice palm is a special food, and a big glutinous rice zongzi will be eaten during the festival.

Non-staple food includes all kinds of vegetables, meat, poultry, eggs, fish and so on. Pork, beef, fish and chicken are the main meat raw materials. Condiments mainly include bean paste and fish sauce. Tableware is China's bowls, chopsticks and so on.

Viet Nam is near China, and Guangdong Restaurant has been open here for a long time. Influenced by Cantonese taste, Vietnamese like to drink China tea, fish, shrimp, abalone, sea cucumber, shark's fin, lean chicken and dog meat. It should be light and not spicy, but sweet and sour dishes. Cooking likes frying, steaming and burning salt water. Hot pot lasts for a long time and is very popular in both cities and villages. Vietnamese like to cook with peanut oil. I especially like frying beef with garlic cloves. Bamboo shoots are a favorite dish of Vietnamese people.

Vietnam has a long coastline and rich and cheap seafood. In some coastal cities, such as Nha Trang, the seafood provided by restaurants is very distinctive. There are many lakes, rivers and ponds in Vietnam, so fish play an important role in people's lives. Fish can be eaten in a variety of ways, such as boiling, frying, boiling and pickling. Vietnamese marinate some cuttlefish, shrimp or fish, put charcoal stoves on the dining table and spread iron nets. Guests cook cuttlefish online, which is very popular with tourists. I especially like to eat the "fish sauce" processed by fresh fish, which is the juice of fish and salt. Fish sauce is an essential condiment for eating, so there is a saying that "eating fish sauce". I also like to make small crab soup in the country.

Vietnamese like to eat green vegetables raw. When dining in a Vietnamese restaurant, you may often see Vietnamese people eating all kinds of vegetables, which is a traditional way of eating in Vietnam. Green vegetables mainly include washed spinach, lettuce, mung bean sprouts, and various coriander, such as coriander and mint. Raw vegetables should be dipped in seasonings, mainly fish sauce, sour vinegar and fresh lemon juice. Vietnam is located in the tropics with a hot climate. Eating green vegetables raw has the effect of promoting fluid production and reducing fire, which is helpful for digestion and nutrient absorption.
