Jag har ju tidigare sagt att den bästa Bahn Min i Göteborg hittar man hos Vietnamhaket i saluhall Briggen. Jag har äntligen hittat en värdig utmanare, nämligen hos Vietnamhaket på Barnhusgatan nära Odinsgatan.😂 Maffig baguette fylld med grönt, fläskkött, sriracha och koriander. Sjukt gott!! Supergullig personal här som bjöd på hemlagat kokosgodis, uppskattas 😁 Om ni är av annan åsikt, att det finns bättre nån annanstans, jag är mer än villig att testa, så tips mottages varmt. _____________________________________ #gothenburgeats #gothenburg #göteborg #barnhusgatan #sriracha #tuppketchup #göteborg #mat #streetfood #matkärlek #vietnamhaket #vietnamesefood #bahnmi @vietnamhaket

Gochujang

Gochujang is really more of a paste than it is a sauce, but it’s definitely possible to spread this all over your favorite foods. This fermented paste is made with spicy and sweet Korean red peppers.

Sambal

Indonesia is the home of Sambal, a sauce that pairs magnificently with seafood, chicken, and veggies alike. Made with a mix of chili peppers along with shrimp paste, garlic, shallot, ginger, and lime juice, you’ll find this extremely flavorful sauce to be addictive.
