越南旅游：学做越南菜@胡志明市第一酒店

越南菜介绍：

吃越南菜觉得能够留得住人的。是它的清淡、微酸辣的口味，香料搭配出的特殊风味。就如同它的小吃文化一样，非得多走几家，一摊一店地品尝不可。广州专营越南菜的餐厅都在德政路、北京路、惠福路……在广州敢标榜为越南菜的餐厅不多，而评价一位正宗越南菜厨师的水平，就得从河粉开始。开胃、清火，营养不油腻，再加上慢火熬十多个小时以上的骨头汤，让每一碗河粉都鲜美异常，滑润的河粉口感鲜美，往往在吃完最后一口河粉时感觉还意犹未尽。 

由于越南菜受到中国、法国以及南洋其他国家的影响，既融合这些国家的饮食文化，也保持了自己的个性。越南人承自中国饮食阴阳调和的饮食文化，烹调最重清爽、原味以蒸煮、烧烤、焗火闷、凉拌为多，热油锅炒者较少。通常被认为是较“上火”的油炸或烧烤菜肴，配上调料的鱼露、香菜、香茅、青柠檬等，还有葱油、炸干葱和花生碎粒等等都是越南菜烹饪中不可缺少的佐料。用米纸包裹着一起吃，以达到去油“下火”的功效。
