According to Migrationology, it has also a lot of varieties but the dish is often eaten with sunny side up eggs topped with peppers and caramelized onions.
Pho. Good old Pho is one of the most classic Vietnamese dishes. It's quite hard to walk on the streets of Vietnam without seeing vendors selling Pho. It's made up of fresh rice noodles and herbs in a salty broth that comes with either beef or chicken meat. According to CNN, it's one of the country's local diet since it's delicious and cheap at the same time.
Bhan Xeo. This dish consists of pork, shrimp and bean sprouts wrapped up in a crispy crepe sprinkled with fresh herbs on top. Vendors would usually cut it up into small slices so you can dip it into a special sauce.
Bun Bo Nam Bo. This dish which is also called as stirred beef vermicelli is made up of vermicelli noodles, beef slices, fresh herbs, bean sprouts, peanuts, peppers, fish sauce and dried shallots. The broth is then poured when someone is ready to taste this delicious dish.
