Though it shares certain culinary traditions with its Asian neighbours, Vietnamese cuisine is entirely distinct, focusing on fresh fruits, vegetables, and herbs for clear, bright flavours with contrasting notes of salty, sweet, sour, and spicy.

Creamy chicken curry is paired with the zesty tang of lime juice and the heat from ground pepper and chillies. Crisp, fried fish is served with a puree of pineapple-chilli sauce. Delicate, rice paper wrapped summer rolls merit a rich and savoury soybean dipping sauce. From snacks and soups to grilled meats and seafood to the essential noodle dishes and desserts, Quick & Easy Vietnamese presents the full spectrum of Vietnamese cooking.
