Vietnamese

Vietnamese food is the reason feedthepudge exists. These are the dishes I grew up eating: the ones my mom made with love, and the ones that bring me so much comfort and joy.

Here you’ll find slow simmered noodle soups like twelve hour oxtail pho, spicy bun bo hue and bun rieu. You’ll also find crispy banh mi, comforting rice plates, fresh salads and everyday home cooking you won’t see on most restaurant menus.

Vietnamese cooking can feel intimidating, but it doesn’t have to be. Every recipe here is written to be approachable, with clear steps, ingredient swaps and tips for finding what you need at your local Asian market. Whether you’re cooking your first pot of pho or recreating a taste of home, you’re in the right place. Grab your fish sauce and let’s cook.
