This is a Northern specialty dish. Unlike the lightly seasoned version of pho, this dish usually has a rich flavor. Diners can taste the sweetness, saltiness and sourness seasoned in moderation.

A bowl of mixed pho usually consists of simple ingredients such as rice noodles, beef or chicken, shrimp, fried onions and vegetables mixed with sauce. Before eating, Vietnamese people have the habit of squeezing lemon into the dish, thanks to which the flavor of the dish is also associated with a slight sourness.

Because it is dry pho, the sauce can be considered the soul of the dish. Usually, the cook will mix sugar, soy sauce, oyster sauce, chili sauce, rice vinegar and beat well, avoiding leaving the spices undissolved.

Because vegetable dishes are closely associated with Vietnamese culinary culture, the preparation method also requires the chef to be meticulous in every step, so that the vegetables and meat are evenly seasoned, but the diner does not feel the vegetables are bruised or not fresh.

In addition to the three Vietnamese dishes ranked highest on the list, dishes such as chicken salad, lotus root salad, mixed fig, raw beef with lemon, jellyfish salad, anchovy salad, and herring salad also successfully won the hearts of diners everywhere.
