The Many Faces of Vietnamese Cuisine
A culinary culture is an expression of the tastes, traditions and customs of a particular society. Vietnamese cuisine, historically known as traditional Cuisine or Ly Thuong Kiet, is one of the most famous traditional cuisines in Southeast Asia. The name 'Vietnamese' literally means 'south nation,' which alludes to the fact that Vietnamese cuisine has origins in the southern part of mainland China. The French colonized Vietnam for a short period of time and introduced westernization to Vietnam; this led to a fusion of French and Vietnamese cuisines.
Vietnamese cuisine is known for its use of fresh, natural ingredients. It is also known for its use of sugar and spice to enhance flavor. Certain ingredients are only available in certain times of the year; these ingredients include lotus blossoms, white sugar and white ginger. Another popular ingredient in Vietnamese cuisine is green papaya pickles called mứt đập họp (literally meaning 'stewed green papaya'). This ingredient gives Vietnamese food its unique sour taste.
