Vietnamese Food
Vietnamese Beef Noodle (Phở Bò)
Vietnamese Beef Noodle (Phở Bò) is one of the popular foods in Vietnam. Vietnamese Beef Noodles originated in northern Vietnam in the early 20th century and became popular in Vietnam and many parts of the world after the Vietnam War. Vietnamese Beef Noodle is a combination of broth, rice noodles (Bánh Phở), some kinds of herbs, and beef or chicken. Vietnamese Beef Noodle is garnished with coriander leaves, green onions, and white onions. The characteristic of traditional Vietnamese food is often served with lots of herbs (Thai basil, Culantro), bean sprouts, and various other accompaniments, such as hot chili sauce, hoisin sauce, and a slice of lemon. Vietnamese beef noodle is a delicious soup. You will quickly fall in love with the traditional food because of its savory broth, chewy noodles, tender beef slices, and the scent and taste of herbs. Vietnamese beef noodle is suitable for cold evenings, after a hard-working day, or even for those who are sick.
[The quintessence of Vietnamese cuisine] - Bun Cha
[The quintessence of Vietnamese cuisine] - Bun Cha (Northern region) Referring to bun cha is referring to a dish familiar to many people, especially those who live and work in the capital. The familiarity makes few people think that bun cha Ha Thanh is the source of the capital's culinary culture. Bun cha consists of 3 main parts: dipping sauce, grilled pork rolls and vermicelli. Whether a serving of bun cha is delicious or not is largely determined by the dipping sauce. Bun Cha dipping sauce is mixed with sour, spicy, salty, sweet with fish sauce, vinegar, sugar, garlic, chili, in the bowl of sauce there is always a mannequin including green papaya, carrots or many places have bean sprouts. Bun Cha is special in its own way, not too ostentatious but attractive enough from its own simplicity. Experiencing many ups and downs in history, bun cha still retains its distinctive flavor, maintaining its position as one of the national dishes of Vietnamese cuisine.
VIETNAMESE BEEF NOODLE SALAD
Vietnamese beef noodle salad (bun bo xao) is packed with fresh herbs, flavorful beef, and refreshing lime fish sauce dressing. It takes only 30 minutes to make, and you can enjoy it either as a main or side dish. Vietnamese Beef Noodle Salad goes by “bun bo xao” or “bun bo Nam Bo” in Vietnamese. A bowl of this tasty noodle salad is usually substantial enough to be a full meal by itself. I think this dish says quite a lot about Vietnamese cuisine which values a fresh, pure and clean taste.
Vietnamese Pancake ( Banh Xeo )
Bánh xèo – also known as crispy Vietnamese pancake, crepe or sizzling cake – is a famous street food of Hanoi. The word xèo depicts the sizzling sound when pouring the rice batter into the hot skillet. This “Vietnamese pancake” has a yellow outer layer and is filled with boiled pork strips, shrimp, bean sprouts and spring onion. Though some people might prefer to use chopsticks to directly eat bánh xèo, the best way to enjoy it is eating with your hands. First, take a piece of bánh xèo and put it on the rice paper. Add fresh vegetables that are always served with the dish (there’re a lot of vegetables to choose, but lettuce, Vietnamese perilla, basil and bean sprouts are the most common) and roll them tightly. With each bite, don’t forget to dip the roll into the sauce.

The best Grilled Ground Pork on Lemongrass Skewers (Nem lui) in the world
Nem lui is a traditional Vietnamese dish originating from Hue. The dish consists of ground pork that's grilled on a lemongrass skewer. Other ingredients often include black pepper, pork skin, garlic, shallots, and fish sauce. The meat combination is rolled into a sausage shape around a lemongrass stick, and it's then brushed with oil and grilled on a coal stove until slightly charred. Nem lui typically comes accompanied by vegetables, Vietnamese herbs, and rice paper that's rolled like a spring roll while the grilled ground pork is used as the filling, and the combination is then dipped in a sweet and sour peanut-sesame sauce. The dish is served as a main course or a snack in the afternoon. Many choices of Spring Rolls at Mau Restaurants give you the best taste of authentic Vietnamese food
Hanoi traditional grill fish - Cha ca
“Cha ca” is a favourite dish of Hanoian. Located in Cha Ca street, Cha Ca La Vong (”cha ca” means grilled fish) is the famous restaurant to many Hanoian as well as visitors from all over the world.
The food is supposed to have been created by the Doan family. According to Mrs. Ngo Thi Tinh (a descendant of the 4th generation of the family), the family started the business of selling “cha ca” to earn money to support the family members and to have a meeting place for the Vietnamese people who wanted to fight against French colonialism.
The family food became a specialty of Hanoian. There’s a statue of La Vong (an ancient Chinese poet and revolutionist) fishing by a stream on display in the restaurant. This is the symbol of a talented and patient man who know to wait for the right moment to come. The patrons called the restaurant “Cha ca La Vong”.
Vietnamese grilled beef wrapped in betel leaves
These Vietnamese grilled beef wrapped in betel leaves are parcels of deliciousness with a distinctive fragrance and smoky, juicy, tender meat. Enjoy it with a pineapple anchovy dipping sauce and cold beer for the ultimate street snack. When it comes to Southern Vietnamese street food, I have a deep love for grilled beef wrapped in betel leaves, or bò lá lốt. I grew up eating it as often as Vietnamese spring rolls and Vietnamese crepes. Visit Saigon and you will find street vendors grilling beef wrapped in betel leaves at just about every corner. The distinctive aroma is pretty hard to miss. After immigrating to America, we missed it so much that my dad started growing his own betel leaves. I'm excited to bring you our family's recipe for grilled beef wrapped in betel leaves. They are little parcels of deliciousness with juicy, tender meat grilled to perfection.

The Vietnamese dish bun chay
What is bun vegetarian? The Vietnamese dish bun chay (vermicelli noodles, pronounced “boon chai”) is a noodle salad made with rice vermicelli noodles (bun), which are served with lots of vegetables and fresh herbs. The chopped peanuts sprinkled over it add extra taste and crunchiness. The dish is often served with tofu as a source of healthy protein. The tofu is sometimes deep-fried and crispy, sometimes marinated and flavourful, and sometimes mild in taste and silky. Every cook has their own preference. Bun vegetarian is a favorite summer dish, both in Vietnam itself and abroad. The noodles are served lukewarm or cold, making it more of a salad than a hot meal. With mint as one of your herbs, the dish becomes extra refreshing. Like so many other dishes in Vietnamese cuisine, bun chay is also a dish of opposites. Soft, slender noodles are opposed to crispy raw vegetables and bean sprouts. The dressing, nuoc cham, is full of flavor thanks to the trinity of sweet, salty and sour.
Summer roll with srimp and pork
Vietnamese Spring Rolls bring you the simplicity like Vietnamese people. Vietnamese spring rolls really impressed the world cuisine, with the ingredients that seem to be extremely simple but when they're creatively mixed together, the dish gives you a very specific flavor. The soul of Spring Rolls is the dipping sauce. Each region has a different way of sauce. Every kind of Spring roll has its own dipping sauce, which makes the value of the dish. Many choices of Spring Rolls at Mau Restaurant - Vietnamese cuisine give you the best taste of authentic Vietnamese food.
