DID YOU KNOW: Traditional Vietnamese cooking is greatly admired for its fresh ingredients, minimal use of dairy and oil, complementary textures, and reliance on herbs and vegetables for flavour. It is also low in sugar and is almost always naturally gluten-free, as many of the dishes are made with rice noodles, rice paper and rice flour instead of wheat. Common ingredients include shrimp paste, fish sauce, bean sauce, fresh herbs, fruit and vegetables. Vietnamese recipes use lemongrass, ginger, mint, Vietnamese Mint, Saigon Cinnamon, Bird’s Eye Chilli, Lime, Thai Basil leaves and Long Coriander – commonly known as Mexican Coriander, Sawtooth Coriander (on account of its daggered edges), Culantro, but not to be confused with the Cilantro as Culantro has a much stronger taste.
