The food is greatly admired for its use of fresh ingredients rich in vitamins and minerals and the minimal usage of oil and other carbohydrates, making it recognized by experts as one of the healthiest cuisines in the world. The most common meats used in Vietnamese dishes are chicken, pork, beef, fish and various kinds of seafood. Many Vietnamese are strong vegetarians as well due to the influence of Buddhist values in the nation.

To produce this fish sauce, fish are seethed in round fermenting pots for over 365 days, after which they are bottled and sold, mostly in roadside kiosks. The resulting taste is delicious and sought out by most tourists visiting Vietnam.
