Why Vietnamese Food is Healthy

Vietnamese food includes a wide variety of vegetables and herbs instead of oil, and much of the cooking is done with water or broth. The most popular dish, Pho (Vietnamese soup), is low in fat and calories. However, some dishes are loaded with fat and oil, so for health and weight concerns: Avoid fried foods. Stay away from the popular fried fish and fried stuffed chicken drumettes. Instead, select from the wide variety of meats, fish and shellfish that are grilled, simmered, braised or stewed. Wrap with lettuce or rice paper. Lean salads with a wide variety of raw vegetables and, perhaps, grilled meat or seafood are often served wrapped in lettuce or rice paper. Choose these rather than fried spring rolls. Use hoisin sauce and fish saucedipping mixtures. Stay away from the satay (grilled meat on a stick) dipping sauces made with coconut milk and peanut butter, which are high in fat and calories. In this page, I also include some discussion about the health benefits of Vietnamese food. Please share with other visitors and me your though, comments, suggestions, inputs, or any thing else to be included.
