Delicious Vietnamese Chicken Recipes

Many people assume that most of the Vietnamese food is very spicy or is identical to Chinese food.

Chicken plays a big role in Vietnamese cuisine and fresh fruits and veggies are very popular in these recipes. Fish sauce is used to flavour the chicken, beef or pork dishes, just as it's used to season fish, seafood and vegetarian meals.
