Each region of VietNam has its specialties. In the North, Hanoi is known for its PHO noodles and a hot clear beef broth, bursting with flavour from the fresh herbs.
This is traditionally eaten for breakfast, but good at any time of day.
The central region has an abundance of fried, steamed pancakes and dumplings that are perfect and mostly dipped in fish sauce or shrimp paste. To be specific, BANH XEO sizzles when cooking in the hot pan, giving this crispy golden pancake its name XEO XEO.
In the south of Vietnam, the famous dishes are hot and sour soup with catfish and caramelized pork cooked in a clay pot. The southerner’s sweet tooth is reflected in their cooking; marinading the pork with sugar, shallots, garlic, chilli, and some extra caramel/molasses for good measure!
At the GIOAN cooking class, you will experience all of these traditional flavours and more. Once you have completed the course you will receive a lovely cook book to remind you of your immersion into Vietnamese gastronomy.
