In the list of 100 best dishes in the world served with ginger published by Taste Atlas on September 17, besides familiar dishes such as pho, sweet rice balls, boiled chicken, a unique dish also impressed many Vietnamese diners.
Noodle soup

When talking about pho, we cannot help but mention the "core" ingredients such as onions, shallots, green onions, beef balls, lemon...
For beef pho, the main part of the broth is simmered with beef bones for a long time, creating sweetness for the broth.
In addition, diners often flexibly choose shared ingredients such as beef tendon, brisket, rare meat...
As for chicken pho, the cook often chooses white breast meat, fat, skin...
Breast meat is usually cut into long, thin slices. Compared to beef, chicken meat has a strange taste, creating its own unique characteristics.
For the dry version of pho, the preparation is similar to regular pho, but the broth will be separated and served separately. Instead, some places will add a special sauce.
In addition to the accompanying herbs, ginger is the source of the mild, spicy, aromatic flavor in both versions of pho.
Sweet rice balls
As the only Vietnamese dessert on the list, sweet rice balls were ranked 23rd by international diners with 4.0/5 stars.

To make this type of sweet soup, the cook usually prepares ingredients such as coconut milk, sweet soup balls, ginger, sesame, sugar water...
A portion of chè is usually a combination of large and small balls. The inside of the chè is made from mung beans, which are usually very fragrant and soft, and have a powdery feel when eaten. The outer layer is made from glutinous rice flour, which is opaque white.
After combining the ingredients, a little ginger on the outside not only adds to the eye-catching, warm feeling of the dish, but also creates a fragrant, slightly spicy flavor to harmonize with the sweetness of the tea.
This dish carries a lot of traditional and cultural significance for Vietnamese people. Therefore, this is one of the "must-invite" faces in special worship occasions of Vietnamese people.
Boiled chicken
This dish is surprisingly simple to make but is loved with a ranking of 38.

Boiled chicken often appears in worshiping occasions and traditional festivals. Chicken is usually boiled whole combined with ingredients such as salt, ginger, lemon, green onion, turmeric...
After being thoroughly rubbed with salt, the chicken will be boiled with ginger, onion and turmeric until the skin turns a light golden color. The skin is also an important ingredient, so it needs to be processed thoroughly before eating.
The effect of ginger when appearing in a boiled chicken dish is to harmonize and balance the flavors in the meal. Many Vietnamese people consider it a way to harmonize yin and yang, while for some other diners, ginger is an indispensable flavor when eating.
Black Chicken Hotpot
This is a dish that not all Vietnamese people know, and is ranked 68th on the list by international diners.

Black chicken hotpot is a traditional dish originating from the Sa Pa mountainous region of Northern Vietnam. The main dish is hotpot cooked from black chicken. The dish is popular with people in the high mountainous areas of the North, because black chicken is also a special breed of chicken in this region.
When cooked, chicken meat will gradually turn a strange black color, the meat is very tough and firm because most of it is fed natural foods. Hot pot often has ingredients such as shiitake mushrooms, pumpkin, sweet potatoes, noodles, vermicelli and forest...
The ingredients not only make the hot pot taste better but also enhance the deliciousness of the chicken.
