Both countries have multifaceted and sophisticated cuisines with a staggering number of regional variations. Thanks to a year-round growing season, street markets in Vietnam and Cambodia are an extravaganza of fragrant herbs and spices, freshly caught fish, every imaginable kind of noodle, and mounds and mounds of rice—the bedrock of all Southeast Asian cuisine— ranging from white to red to deep glossy black.
