Vietnamese cuisine has been shaped by various influences, including Mongolian beef, Chinese cooking techniques, and ingredients from neighboring countries. The French colonial period introduced numerous foods, while the U.S. military contributed ice cream during the Vietnam War. Traditional cooking techniques utilize methods that emphasize freshness and health, often using clay pots and specific preparation methods for balance and flavor.
