This is what we usually eat in Việt Nam:
- plenty of vegetables
- salad: either salad itself or sliced cucumber
- the everyday fish sauce with chilis, lime juice and sugar (center)
- bowls of rice, of course
- proteins:
- fried tofu in the top-left corner
- bottom-left: a kind of dried pork meat, fried onions and eggs omelette
- last but not least, the meal comes with a soup which is simply the vegetables cooking broth with garlic and tomatoes
Now I am so much used to eating rice that if a few days go by without it, this feels weird to me.
