Essential Vietnamese Spices

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Vân Vân Launches the Crimson Galangal and Bang Bang Onion

— August 27, 2024 — Marketing
Vân Vân introduces two essential Vietnamese spices, 'Crimson Galangal (Riềng đỏ)' and 'Bang Bang Onion (Củ nén / Hành tăm).' These spices are available in dehydrated batches packaged in resealable bags, making them convenient additions to Asian-inspired cooking.

Crimson Galangal is a key ingredient in Northern and Central Vietnamese cuisine, in addition to Southeast Asian dishes. It offers a distinctive "spicy warmth with peppery and earthy notes that enhance the flavors of stews, braises, and curries; this spice is also suitable for grilling and marinades."

Bang Bang Onion, on the other hand, is sourced from Quảng Ngãi province in Central Vietnam. It has been "a fundamental herb in Central Vietnamese cooking for generations with a flavor profile that combines chives, shallots, and garlic, adding a unique touch to a variety of dishes and pairs well with seafood."
