Vietnamese traditional bread

The people of Vietnam and Cambodia eat a lot more bread (banh mi) than those in the rest of South-east Asia. Having both been influenced by French colonization and wartime occupation, bread has become a daily feature. Somewhere between a long, crispy French baguette and the wider Middle Eastern loaf, the bread of Vietnam is usually made from a combination of wheat and rice flours and is shorter than a baguette with a slit down the middle. Whether used for grilled meat and salad sandwiches, flavoured with fresh herbs and chillies, or smeared with a local pork pate and a splash of chilli sauce, freshly baked loaves are available in the streets of southern Vietnam just as easily as noodles. Torn into chunks to dip into stews and curries, bread is also served as an alternative to noodles or rice.

And then there is the ice cream sandwich. A popular sweet snack with children thick chunks of baguette are halved lengthways and a wedge of ice cream is tucked in between them - a South-east Asian version of an ice cream cone.
Buns and dumplings fall into the bread category, as they start with a dough  made from wheat flour and yeast. However, following ancient Chinese traditions, buns and dumplings are often stuffed and usually steamed, although some buns are baked after steaming. Flatbreads and wrappers, used for folding around morsels of food and for spring rolls, can also be included in the bread culture. Made from nee or wheat flour, they are baked on griddles, or left in the sunshine to dry.
In the main shopping areas of cities, bakeries and patisseries, stuffed full of enticing, freshly baked cakes, pastries and a variety of sweet and savoury loaves, reflect the French influence, as well as the travels of many refugee Khmer and Vietnamese who have returned to their homelands to set up business. International favourites such as jam tarts, chocolate eclairs, gingerbread men and sponge cakes, all baked on the premises, are enjoyed by passers-by with a good cup of tea or coffee.

Tofu - "poor man's meat" in Vietnam

An  inexpensive  protein food  invented  by the Chinese. bean curd or tofu is now widely  enjoyed  throughout  the world as an alternative to meat or fish.

Tofu
Soya beans are mainly used to make tofu, also known as bean curd (dau hu). It is often referred to as "poor man's meat" in Vietnam. High in protein, incredibly low in calories and devoid of cholesterol. tofu provides essential amino acids, vitamins and minerals for good health. It is made by combining soya bean milk with a coagulant such as gypsum powder to form curds which are then pressed together into blocks.
Highly versatile, it lends itself to stir-frying, grilling (broiling),  steaming, smoking or simmering. It is added to many vegetarian dishes for protein a nd texture , including stir-fries. soups and stuffings. On its own it is bland, but this is the beauty of it, as it has the ability to absorb flavours and is delicious when marinated in Vietnamese flavourings, then stir-fried and served with fresh basil leaves. Fresh tofu, sold in firm blocks packed in water, is available in most health stores. In Asian stores, you may find soft and medium  types. Generally, the soft  silken texture is better for soups and steamed dishes, whereas the medium and firm varieties are best in stir-fries and fillings. Tofu is best used straight away, but, if it is kept submerged in water, which is changed daily, it can be stored for 3-4 days in the refrigerator.

Dried tofu
Also known as "bean curd sticks" in Vietnam, this product (tau hu ky) is made by simmering soya milk until a thin skin forms on top. Traditionally, a long bamboo stick is used to lift the skin off the milk to be hung on a line to dry. As they dry, the skins shrink a little and stiffen, until they resemble tongs or "sticks". Creamy coloured and delicate tasting, this dried tofu is sold in packages in Asian markets to be used in soups and stews. Before using, it must f irst be soaked in water for 20-30 minutes. Dried tofu is also available in sheets which can be used as wrappers for salads and other fillings.

Preserved  tofu
Cubes of fermented tofu (chao) are preserved in salty brine for several months. Before use, the preserved cubes need to be rinsed thoroughly. Strong in flavour, they are used sparingly when added to stir-fries and soups. Preserved tofu can be found in Asian stores.

Fermented tofu
This is made by fermenting fresh tofu on beds of rice straw. then drying the curd in the sun before marinating with salt, alcohol and spices. Finally, it is stored in brine in sealed earthenware urns and left to mature for at least six months before being packaged and sold. It is definitely an acquired taste and is traditionally served either on its own with rice congeeat breakfast , or used in marinating and cooking. Fermented tofu is available from South­ east Asian markets and. once opened, must be stored in the refrigerator.

Ca Mau – The beautiful southern coast of Vietnam

Ca Mau is a city in southern Vietnam. It is the capital of Ca Mau province, a province in the Mekong Delta region, in the southernmost part of Vietnam's inland territory. Vietnam's incumbent Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung was born and raised here. The city is characterized by its system of transport canals and most goods are transported here by boats and barges. Ca Mau is one of Southeast Vietnam's most popular and exciting destinations, you will enjoy stunning landscapes.

Infrastructures, sea-product processing factories are under construction. In addition to coal from mangroves, Nam Cam factories produce fodder from mam trang plants, an endless material source from the mangroye forests.
Ca Mau Floadting Market
Ca Mau city is the convergence of many big rivers: Doc, Trem, Cai Tau, Ganh Hao and Tam Giang. Therefore, trade activity in Ca Mau often takes place on the water surface. Hence the emergence of Ca Mau Floating Market on Ganh Hao River of Ward 8, Ca Mau City. This floating market is no less bustling than any other markets on land. Handreds of boats anchor side by side. At the stem of each boat is planted a long pole, on which is hung what the boat owner has for sale. The green colour of squashes, watermelons, broccoli mixes with the yellow of potatoes and the red of tomatoes and carrots, creating a marvelous scene to attract tourists. The boat owner doesn’t need to attract buyers but just sit and wait for them to come. The floating market opens at 3am early in the morning and closes at nighttall, stirring up the whole section of the river. Remember that if you want to buy something, you have to look at the goods hung atop the pole in each boat.
Agricultural products are the main goods on sale in the floating market. They are sold to merchants in such places as Ngoc Hien, Nam Can, Dam Doi, Cai Nuoc, Thoi Binh or Rach Tau. “River vendors” sell things like cigarettes or meals.
Despite their varioes backgrounds, the sellers involving in the floating market assist on another in their daily lives. The boats become their moving houses. After a busy day, they take a rest, singing some Vong Co songs. The often get up at 3am, next morning, ready for another business day.
The Ca Mau Floating Market has become a must-see for tourists near and far.

FESTIVALS
Ky Yen Ceremony
The Ky Yen Ceremony is a popular festival and an important spiritual cultural activity for the people in the Mekong Delta. It is held annually in all communal houses in the South, on the 15,16 and 17 days of the lunar month chosen by each area where the festival is celebrated.
In most viliages in the South, there is a communal house dedicated to the village Deity. This Deity can be a person credited with great services to the region, someone who was bestowed upon the village by royal decree of an emperor, or a heroic legendary character. In the remote villages, where there is no communal house, people travel nearby villages to worship.
The worshipping ceremony begins with a ritual to request the Deity to arrive on the day of the full moon. It continues with a staged procession for a throne. The offerings include a roasted pig, a tray of steamed violet sticky rice and a white hoi cake.
Following the procession, there are lion dancing performances and drums are played all night long. After worshipping, visitors enjoy a feast and then watch hat boi (classical drame performance). The classical drama performances take place from noon to night, from evening to midnight, and after the night-time meal. There are always many people watching from the stands.
After the three days of festivities, drums, music and prayers to the Deity, the villagers return to work and look forward to the following year’s festival.

Rice and products from Vietnam

In Vietnam, there are three main groups of rice: long grain, short grain, and sticky "glutinous"  rice. The most widely grown and the most frequently consumed  is the long grain; in the cooler northern regions of Vietnam, the plum per short grain sometimes takes preference. Sticky rice is often used in porridge-style dishes and wrapped in banana leaves to make savoury and sweet "ca kes".

Rich in carbohydrate and containing vitamins A and B, rice is one of the healthiest staple foods. It is used to make vinegar and wine, and it is indispensable when ground into flour to make French-style baguettes and crepes, the ubiquitous, paper-thin wrappers used for spring rolls, and dried and fresh noodles. Traditionally rice is boiled or steamed, then may be stir-fried; sticky rice is steamed until it resembles porridge.

In Vietnam, rice is regarded as the "staff of life". It plays an important role as a staple food as well as in the economy and the culture. There are even rigorous rice-cooking competitions based on the tradition of preparing rice for soldiers going into battle. With lush carpeted valleys and hillside terraces of fertile, well-irrigated rice crops, this long, narrow country manages to rank third in the rice-export game, behind t he United States and Thailand , producing a number of varieties that differ in aroma, flavor, and gluten content. Vietnam's principal rice bowls can be found in the land around the Red River in the north and the Mekong Delta in the south.

Within their groups, there a re many types of rice, all of which the Vietnamese  can differentiate by the aroma or taste of the raw grain. When buying, the quality and texture of the grain will be discussed at length as each cook requires a particular rice for the meal that day. Several long grain and glutinous varieties are available in Asian stores and supermarkets.

LONG GRAIN RICE
Gao, or tong grain, rice is the daily staple of all South-east  Asian cooking. Often delicately  scented, such as fragrant jasmine rice, the grains should be dry, thin, firm and translucent when raw. Once steamed the lender grains should still retain some bite and turn white and fluff up easily with a fork. Whether polished or unpolished, aromatic or nutty, long grain rice is used throughout Vietnam and Cambodia as the absorbent bed for many fish and meat curries and stews. The Vietnamese prefer t he long grain jasmine variety (gao thom), cooked using the absorption method.

WHITE  STICKY  GLUTINOUS  RICE
Often referred to as sticky or sweet rice (gao nep), these grains are soaked for several hours, sometimes overnight, before cooking. Glutinous rice comes in both long and short grain varieties. The long grain is used for both savoury and sweet dishes, such as the popular porridge-style dishes of South-east Asia, whereas the plumper short grain is favoured for dumplings, puddings and festive sweets. In contrast to long grain rice, the highly polished, glutinous rice grain is an opaque white colour due to the starch content when raw and turns translucent when cooked. Although the grains retain a degree of firmness, they do tend to stick to one another, thus lending themselves ideally to being handled in clumps and moulded into balls to dip into a sauce, or to be flavoured with a dollop of sweet bean paste, to be used as fillings for cakes wrapped in banana leaves. In the streets of Vietnam, glutinous rice is often eaten as a filling snack, sweetened with a little coconut milk and sugar sprinkled over the top.

BLACK STICKY  GLUTINOUS  RICE
This unpolished, wholegrain glutinous nee is reserved for sweet dishes throughout South-east Asia. When soaked in water and cooked, the grains turn a deep reddish-purple colour. Sometimes called forbidden rice, it has a distinct nutty flavour. More filling than white rice, it is often eaten as a snack, sweetened with coconut milk and sugar.
It is especially popular in the mango and durian season.  Black sticky  rice is available in some Asian markets.

RICE PRODUCTS
The primary staple of Vietnamese cooking, rice is used in many forms.
Rice flour
Bot gao, or rice flour, is made by grinding the raw grain until it is a very fine powder. All types of grain can be used and the packets are usually labelled accordingly. Long grain and medium grain rice flour is used to make the dough for fresh and dried rice noodles, as well as for dumplings, crepes, buns, and the Vietnamese rice papers.
Glutinous  rice flour,  sometimes  called sweet rice flour, is reserved for sweet pastries,  pancakes and cakes. Rice flour, also called rice powder, is available in Asian stores and should be kept in a n airtight container in a dry place.

Toasted  rice flour
Thinh, or toasted  rice flour, imparts a coarser  texture and smoky flavour  to particular  dishes,  such as the Vietnamese speciality of shrimp paste grilled on sticks of sugar  cane.  It is usually made with short grain rice by shaking a few handfuls of the raw grains  in a dry,  heavy-based  pan over  a medium heat, until they turn golden brown. The toasted grains are then ground by hand, using a mortar and pestle, or in a conventional coffee grinder, to a powder. Home-made toasted nee flour tends to be grittier than the commercial fine powders. Store toasted rice flour in an airtight container in a dry place.

Rice papers
Unique to Vietnamese cuisine, these delicate triangular or circular rice papers or wrappers (banh trang), made from rice flour, water and salt, are brittle to hold. They are dried in the open air in the sun on bamboo mats that leave their criss-cross pattern on the wrappers.

Once they have been reconstituted in water, these wrappers are used for making the fried Vietnamese spring rolls (cha gio), and the light summer rolls (goi cuon). They are also put on the table to be used as wrappings for salads, meatballs, grilled meats and stir-fried dishes. Wrapping tasty morsels and dipping them in sauce is a typical Vietnamese way of enjoying a meal.

Not all rice papers are plain, some are flavoured with coconut, ginger or pandanus (similar to vanilla). The papers that are made with glutinous rice flour are toasted so that they puff up and have a chewy texture .
Packets of dried rice papers are available in Asian stores and some supermarkets. Before using, the dried rice papers must be separated and soaked in water, two to four at a time, until soft and pliable. Keep any remaining papers in an airtight container or they will dry out and curl up.

Fresh rice papers
In addition to dried papers, the Vietnamese make fresh rice papers (banh uot), which are used exclusively for wrapping minced (ground) meats.

Rice wine and vinegar
Rice is often distilled to make wine and vinegar. The clear, clean­ tasting vinegar is used for  pickling vegetables  and in cooking. Both the wine and vinegar are made from fermented rice grains which lend a distinct, sharp taste. Bottles are available in Asian and Chinese stores
