Vietnam is a paradise for food lovers. You’ve probably already heard of or tried famous Vietnamese recipes like Pho and Bánh mì, but there are plenty of others out there which are just as delicious.
For a main dish try out a delicious Jungle Curry. Although Vietnamese curries aren’t as well-known as Indian or Thai curries, they’re just as flavoursome. This Jungle Curry combines fresh veggies like carrots, green beans and bamboo shoots with fresh herbs and tangy lime juice. Add in fragrant spices like galangal powder and ground turmeric and there you have it – a vibrant curry that’s bound to impress.
