The taste of the dish is not in the typical Vietnamese style and is more reminiscent of Indian or Malaysian cuisine. The wide distribution of beef and slow-cooked stews in Vietnam is thanks to French culinary influence during colonial times, so the modern dish is considered to have a mixed origin.

The ingredients of the dish can vary widely. The typical ingredients of the dish are beef, carrot, lemongrass, and garlic. Some other ingredients that can be used are tomatoes, applesauce, star anise, and galangal. The ingredients are first marinated with some Vietnamese spices and sauces (ginger, chili, Vietnamese-style fish sauce). Then, the dish should be slowly stewed until cooked. It is usually served with rice, rice noodles, or Banh Mi, and herbs (examples include Thai basil and cilantro).

Bun Bo Hue

Bun Bo Hue is a staple Vietnamese soup that is traditionally consumed for breakfast, consisting of pork and beef bone broth, bun noodles, lemongrass, shrimp paste, lime juice, and a variety of herbs. The soup is much spicier than most Vietnamese soups, and its flavor is often described as rich and complex.

It originated in the city of Hue, but not much is known about its exact origins or inventor. Usual additions include sliced brisket or crab balls, but every cook makes the dish with slight variations. Many believe that Bun Bo Hue found its way into mainstream society by way of the royal order, and the imperial court's cuisine influenced it.

Regardless of the origin, the soup remains a delicious and inexpensive breakfast staple.

Com Tam Suon is a classic dish from South Vietnam. It consists of grilled pork served on top of broken rice. The combination is often topped with a mix of stir-fried onions and pickles, and it is accompanied by fish sauce for dipping.
