Vietnamese food is all about balance: fresh herbs, bright acidity, gentle sweetness, umami, and lots of texture that come together to create food that feels vibrant, light, and really satisfying.
We'll explore that balance with two popular dishes. We’ll start by building the components for the ultimate bánh mì sandwich: fragrant lemongrass chicken, tangy daikon and carrot pickles (Đồ Chua) along with some essential condiments and herbs that we'll layer into a special, freshly baked baguette. We’ll also make rice paper rolls (gỏi cuốn) filled with tender shrimp, herbs, and crunchy vegetables, along with two flavor-packed dipping sauces: a creamy peanut hoisin sauce and a zippy Nước chấm sauce. For a sweet finish, we’ll enjoy a playful twist on a classic with Vietnamese coffee ice cream (no ice cream machine needed).
You'll leave with a full belly and the inspiration to recreate these vibrant. balanced flavors at home.
