Useful words
- Chay: vegetarian (Buddhist food, no meat or fish).
- Không thịt: no meat; không nước mắm: no fish sauce.
- Đậu phụ: tofu.
Pitfalls
Fish sauce and meat stock hide in almost everything; if you have not asked, a "meatless" dish may contain them. Rice and rice noodles are rice-based, but soy sauce and some sauces may contain wheat: for an allergy or coeliac disease, ask the cooks and do not take risks on a street dish.
