Broken rice is served with a variety of toppings such as fried eggs, shredded pork skin, grilled pork ribs or crispy fried fish cakes. Common side dishes include chopped green onions, herbs, tomatoes and cucumbers, pickled vegetables...
This Vietnamese dish was once considered "poor family rice" because it uses broken rice (the opaque white part at the top of the rice grain) and broken rice during milling to cook rice.

Local broken rice shops are easy to find, often with charcoal grills on the side of the road, emitting the smoky aroma of lemongrass and charred meat, which is the result of preparing the side dishes with broken rice. Broken rice is ranked 19th on the list.
That's the general broken rice dish, and broken rice with ribs - the most popular version - is also included in the list at number 43. Fragrant grilled pork ribs are the main ingredient, topped with scallion oil...
At number 54 is banh beo – a popular Vietnamese steamed cake that consists of rice flour, green chili fish sauce, and shrimp or pork as its main ingredients. Bread, roasted peanuts, or fried onions can also be added to the cake for added flavor. In addition to savory cakes, there are also sweet versions that are almost unique to Hoi An.

Banh beo is traditionally served in small ceramic bowls with bamboo spoons for eating. Some call it the Vietnamese version of tapas and it is believed that the most important feature of a good banh beo is the hollow in the middle, which holds the savory, rich filling.
Banh tet is another Vietnamese treat that makes the list at number 76, and comes in both sweet and savory fillings. It is made from sticky rice stuffed with mung beans or pork and wrapped in banana leaves. The whole mixture is then boiled or steamed, the banana leaves are removed, and the log-shaped cake is cut into pieces.
Banana leaves are used because they give the sticky rice a unique aroma and flavor. Banh tet is traditionally prepared and served mainly during the Vietnamese Lunar New Year.

Finally, there is fried rice . This dish is very versatile because almost anything can be added to the rice to enhance the flavor, but it is usually made with white rice, garlic, salt and pepper. The rice is cooked and then stir-fried in hot oil.
Fried rice is served hot and can be flavoured with a variety of vegetables, eggs or sausage meat. Soy sauce or fish sauce can be used as a condiment, while chopped green onions add texture and create a nice contrast with the rice.
