Vietnamese dishes are often thought of as time-consuming and intricate, likely due to the popularity of the country’s famously delicious but complex dish, Pho.
However, there are many dishes that, with the right ingredients and a little know-how, come together in no time and, even better, in just one pan! Discover just how easy it is to create Vietnamese flavours without the fuss in Thuy Diem Pham's latest book, One Pan Vietnam.
Packed with simple and mouth-watering Vietnamese-style recipes for everything from stir-fries and salads to broths and bún bowls, you’ll find aromatic noodle soups, delicious salads bursting with fresh, zesty flavours, heart-warming soups and stews, and much more.
Using Thuy’s tips and techniques, you can make fresh and wonderfully flavoursome Vietnamese-style, restaurant-quality meals at home, with remarkably minimal mess.
