Introduction | Broken Rice (Cơm Tấm) | Pork Stew (Thịt Kho Tàu) | MapWherever you are in Vietnam – from Saigon to Hanoi, from the Mekong Delta to the Red River, from the Central Highlands to the Northwest Mountains – you can always rely on one of two dishes to fill you up: cơm tấm and thịt kho tàu – broken rice and pork stew. These two pork dishes are ubiquitous in Vietnam. Breakfast, lunch or dinner; they’re always available. Forget phở – the famous beef noodle soup – the real national dish of Vietnam is pork and rice.
