fresh shrimp
Street vendors sell hot, tasty snacks at events and celebrations around Vietnam. Hungry festival-goers never have to look far for a treat. Shrimp cakes are a favorite that can also be made at home.
Salads are important and unique part of the Vietnamese cuisine. The Vietnamese treasure fresh, crunchy vegetables such as lettuce, cucumbers, and carrots, and seasonal specialties. Simple but tasty dressings enhance the flavors of each ingredient, and salads are often garnished with fresh mint leaves or fresh coriander. Meat, seafood, or noodles may be added as well, making a salad as light or as substantial as the cook desires. Sesame seeds and fresh coriander dress up a dish of shrimp salad.
Many popular Japanese dishes are prepared by broiling.This method of cooking over high heat makes food crisp on the surface and tender and juicy inside. Meat, seafood, and vegetables are all delicious prepared as yakimono.
In Japan, "yaki"dishes may be cooked at the table on a small charcoal grill called a hibachi. If you dont have a hibachi, then a backyard barbecue grill or the broiler in your oven will work just as well. (When cooking with charcoal, its a good idea to have an experienced cook help you start the grill.)
