1 A couple of salty pumpkin dishes
Salty beef is a snack associated with the memories of many Saigon people, appearing popular on sidewalk trolleys or small market corners in the heart of the city. However, not everyone knows that this seemingly “pure” dish is essentially derived from Trieu Chau and Fujian cuisine (China). The name “beef” is also a phonetic transcription from the Fujian area, but completely unrelated to beef as many people still think.

Currently, the cow has two main variants: sweet pumpkin and salty pumpkin. If the North, especially in Hanoi, prefer the sweet version with coconut candy, sesame, plastic rice paper … then the South people have special love for salty pumpkin. This dish is a delicate combination of coated eggs, sausages, cassava tubers, carrots, lettuce, dried shrimp and herbs, all sliced ​​and tightly rolled in thin layer of rice paper.
The most attractive point lies in the typical dipping sauce: Sweet and sour soy sauce, served with crispy onions, crushed peanuts and a little fresh chili. All create a harmonious flavor that is both rich and easy to cause “addiction”. Because this dish is somewhat similar to spring rolls, Saigon salty beef sometimes makes people confused. Having the opportunity to travel to Saigon, do not miss the opportunity to enjoy this dish.
