According to the Vietnam Cuisine Culture Association, Vietnamese cuisine is a combination of ingredients and spices which adaptably follow the principle of "Yin and yang - Five elements" to achieve a harmonious aesthetic according to Vietnamese standards. It fully conveys all the rich layers of natural flavors, while balancing the nutritional value for the body.

Northern cuisine is marked by its sweet and sophisticated taste in processing. Central cuisine is characterized by a spicy, rich taste with vibrant and eye-catching colors. Southern cuisine brings a sense of sweetness and spiciness to the rustic dishes of the river region.
