Authentic Vietnamese Pho Bo
Vietnam's legendary beef noodle soup — a deeply aromatic broth of charred ginger, star anise and cinnamon, with silky rice noodles and rare sliced beef.
Pho, bánh mì, rollitos de primavera frescos: ligeros, frescos y fragantes.
La cocina vietnamita refleja mil años de dominio chino, un siglo de colonización francesa y una cultura profundamente autóctona de hierbas y arroz. De China llegaron los fideos, los palillos, los salteados y la soja; de Francia vino la baguette que se convirtió en banh mi, paté y cultura del café. Sin embargo, el alma de la cocina es propia: salsa de pescado nuoc mam fermentada a lo largo de la costa central, montañas de hierbas frescas servidas crudas en la mesa y una insistencia en la ligereza: los caldos son clarificados, las grasas son mínimas y las verduras crudas acompañan a casi todo.
Las tres regiones del país cocinan de manera diferente. La comida del norte, centrada en Hanoi, es la más sobria: el pho se originó aquí, su caldo de res sazonado con jengibre carbonizado, cebolla, anís estrellado y canela, aderezado con moderación. En el centro de Vietnam, alrededor de la antigua capital imperial Hue, se elabora la comida más picante y elaborada: bun bo Hue con hierba de limón y aceite de chile, y pequeños platos reales intrincados. El sur del Mekong endulza los platos con azúcar de palma y coco, llena los platos con hierbas y produce sopa agria canh chua y pescado caramelizado en olla de barro.
La cocina casera gira en torno al nuoc cham, la salsa que equilibra la salsa de pescado, la lima, el azúcar, el ajo y el chile que acompaña a los rollitos de primavera, las carnes a la parrilla y los platos de arroz. Los cocineros dominan el arroz en muchas formas: al vapor, en papel de arroz para los rollos de goi cuon, como fideos para panecillos y como crepes banh xeo. El plato de hierbas a base de menta, cilantro, perilla y albahaca tailandesa no es una guarnición sino un plato integral, envuelto y desmenuzado en cada bocado.
Salsa De Pescado Y Nuoc Cham
La anchoa fermentada nuoc mam condimenta casi todo, y su forma de salsa de lima, azúcar y ajo acompaña la mayoría de las comidas.
Sopas Pho y Fideos
Los caldos carbonizados con especias y cocinados a fuego prolongado sobre fideos de arroz (pho, bun bo Hue, hu tieu) se comen desde el desayuno.
Platos de hierbas frescas
La menta, la perilla, la albahaca tailandesa y el cilantro se sirven crudos en grandes cantidades, se envuelven en panecillos y se cortan en sopas en la mesa.
Arroz en todas sus formas
El arroz al vapor, el bollo de fideos, los envoltorios de papel de arroz y los crepes banh xeo muestran el arroz como base estructural de la cocina.
Legado colonial francés
Las baguettes Banh mi, el paté, el flan y el café robusta con leche condensada descienden directamente de la época colonial.
Asado y salsa de caramelo
Carne de cerdo con hierba de limón a la parrilla al carbón y platos en olla de barro estofados en caramelo agridulce (nuoc mau) definen la sabrosa cocina diaria.

La comida vietnamita es conocida por la sopa de fideos pho, los sándwiches banh mi, los rollitos de primavera frescos (goi cuon) y su característico equilibrio de salsa de pescado, lima, hierbas frescas y chile. La cocina es notablemente ligera: los caldos son claros, las verduras y hierbas crudas acompañan a la mayoría de los platos y la fritura se utiliza con moderación en comparación con las cocinas vecinas.
La comida tailandesa se basa en la leche de coco, las pastas de curry y una pronunciada intensidad dulce y picante; La comida vietnamita es más ligera, rara vez utiliza leche de coco en platos salados fuera del sur y enfatiza los caldos claros y las hierbas crudas. La cocina vietnamita muestra una influencia china y francesa más fuerte (sopas de fideos, baguettes, paté), mientras que el sabor tailandés se basa en pastas machacadas y pasta de camarones.
Mayormente no. El picante suele ser opcional y se agrega en la mesa: chiles en rodajas, aceite de chile o sriracha junto con pho. La comida de Vietnam central, especialmente el bun bo Hue, es la excepción picante. El perfil de sabor predeterminado es equilibrado y fresco: salsa de pescado con sal, acidez de lima, ligero dulzor y abundantes hierbas en lugar de picante de chile.
Comience con rollitos de verano de goi cuon: no cocina más que escalfar camarones, además practica hacer nuoc cham. Thit kho, cerdo estofado en salsa de caramelo y agua de coco, es un clásico indulgente en una sola olla. Bun thit nuong (cerdo a la parrilla con limoncillo sobre fideos) se prepara fácilmente. Guarde pho para más tarde; su caldo recompensa la experiencia.
La salsa de pescado no es negociable: una marca de calidad como las de Phu Quoc marca una verdadera diferencia. Agregue los fideos de arroz, el papel de arroz, el arroz jazmín, la salsa de soja, el azúcar, las limas, el ajo, las chalotas y la hierba de limón. El anís estrellado, la canela y el jengibre carbonizado forman el caldo pho. Menta fresca, cilantro y albahaca tailandesa completan el plato de hierbas.
