Chao Tom, ranked 28th on the list, originates from the ancient capital of Hue and has become increasingly popular throughout Vietnam. The dish features finely ground shrimp, sometimes mixed with pork, seasoned with ingredients like garlic and fish sauce, then wrapped around short sticks of sugarcane and steamed, grilled, or fried.

Chao Tom is deemed an ideal appetizer or light snack by TasteAtlas. It is typically enjoyed with a harmonious sweet and sour dipping sauce, accompanied by fresh herbs and vermicelli noodles.

Nem Ran, also known as spring rolls, ranks 85th on the list. The dish is characterized by its filling of pork and shrimp wrapped in thin rice paper.

The filling often includes carrots, jicama, mushrooms, vermicelli, and bean sprouts. According to TasteAtlas, the rolls are fried to a golden brown, resulting in a crispy, light exterior and a flavorful interior that is hard to describe.
