Clams served with rice crackers
This April, diners visiting Quan An Ngon will get to enjoy a meticulously prepared and refined clam dish with rice crackers, truly authentic to the Central Vietnamese cuisine. The sweet, chewy, slightly salty taste of the clams, combined with the crispy, sesame-flavored rice crackers, will surely awaken your taste buds.
In particular, stir-fried clams with shallots and garlic, seasoned just right, are rich in flavor and very appealing. Of course, because clams are considered "cold" in nature, they need a little Vietnamese coriander when eaten, firstly to neutralize the taste, and secondly to enhance the flavor. Clams served with rice crackers offer a perfect balance of sweetness, a slightly spicy kick from the stir-fried clams, and the aroma of the rice crackers, making it an extremely attractive dish for welcoming summer.
Stir-fried frog legs with lemongrass and chili
Another dish on the April "Delicious Dish of the Month" menu is stir-fried frog legs with lemongrass and chili. This dish has a rich flavor and appealing color, making it a perfect accompaniment to rice and a delightful snack. As the name suggests, lemongrass and chili are the main seasonings, but a touch of minced garlic adds extra aroma and flavor.
The frog legs are only added to the pan after the minced garlic, lemongrass, and chili mixture has been stir-fried until fragrant. A little chopped scallion is added, and a delicious dish is ready. The stir-fried frog legs with lemongrass and chili from Quan An Ngon restaurant, when served, have an enticing aroma and are visually appealing with the golden color of the frog legs, the bright red of the chili, and the green of the scallions, making diners want to try it immediately.
Wild vegetables with dipping sauce
With the arrival of summer and its hot weather, simple boiled vegetables dipped in fish sauce are sometimes the most beloved dish on hot summer afternoons. The "Wild Vegetables with Braised Pork" dish, featured in our "Delicious Dishes of the Month" menu, is a simple boiled vegetable dish with a dipping sauce, yet it's a unique fusion of Northern and Southern Vietnamese cuisine. The wild vegetables here could be rock sprouts, spring shoots, or even bitter gourd. These are all vegetables found only in the cold mountainous regions of Northern Vietnam and are perfectly suited to summer.
At Quan An Ngon restaurant, vegetables are dipped in kho quet sauce, a signature dipping sauce of Southern Vietnamese cuisine. Sometimes, it's considered the main course, with accompaniments such as crispy rice, boiled vegetables, and boiled meat. Therefore, the combination of "wild vegetables dipped in kho quet sauce" is sure to be a delightful choice for a delicious summer meal.
