Vietnamese cuisine is known for its prevailing philosophy of balance.
Preparation is governed by the oriental knowledge of the five elements: wood, fire, earth, metal and water.
To come up with the perfect dish, a balance between the five elements must happen.
This is achieved by balancing the five basic senses of taste that correspond to the five elements in any dish: sour for wood, bitter for fire, sweet for the earth, spicy for metal and salty for water.
Yin and Yang, an influence from their Chinese neighbours, also play an important requirement in preparing a meal.
Just like opposites complement each other, the different tastes and textures must compliment to make a balanced meal.
The climate in the different regions of Vietnam also determines a food’s balanced state.
What they deem as a ‘hot’ dish must be paired with a ‘cold’ dish, depending on the season.
Using ingredients which are in season is more preferred for it brings out a natural balance of the food they serve.
Ingredients used must be fresh and cleaned thoroughly such as herbs, vegetables and spices.
Delicious broths are commonly served, and meals tend to have a colourful presentation.
The culture of the country plays a part in the cuisine’s unique representation as well.
