Vietnamese Stir Fry Sauce
There is nothing like the color, flavor, crunchy, and fresh simplicity of a Vietnamese stir fry bowl. Typical Vietnamese ingredients hit every deliciously addictive note that you can find – sweet, sour, salty, spicy, umami. The hardest part, we found, was creating the flavorful sauce without having to buy a ton of ingredients.
Vietnamese Stir Fry – What’s the Difference?
Stir fry is a quick, healthy method, and our version of Vietnamese stir fry can create an amazing flavor-filled experience any day of the week. The Serious Foodie Vietnamese Stir Fry sauce is one of our most unique products. The sauce is inspired by the flavors of lime/lime, garlic, and herbs that are at the core of Vietnamese cooking. Add some of our Vietnamese Sweet Chili Sauce to bring a bit of spice to this dish.
In the Guide Vietnam description of Vietnamese cooking, one of the hallmarks of Vietnamese cooking is “Unlike the Chinese, the Vietnamese use a minimal amount of oil while cooking.” So, you are see why Vietnamese cuisine is often considered as one of the healthiest foods in the world. The aim of this recipe, as well as all of our Vietnamese-inspired recipes, is to preserve the freshness and natural taste of food as much as possible.
