September is as brilliant as the national flag: A "patriotic" meal filled with national pride

GĐXH - In September, Ms. Vu Thu Huong (Hanoi) prepared a special "patriotic" meal, full of traditional flavors and national pride.

September is here, the month when many Vietnamese families prepare National Day meals to offer to the family altar and then reunite with their families. For Ms. Vu Thu Huong ( Hanoi ) , the new month is also an opportunity to join in the national spirit when she chose to prepare a "Patriotic" meal with bright red and yellow colors, symbols of the Fatherland.

Ms. Huong shared: "I want the first meal of the month to not only be a reunion, but also a reminder of national pride, especially in the year of the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution and National Day September 2."

Ms. Huong carefully prepares each dish of the savory offering tray, both preserving the traditional flavor and carrying profound symbolism:

1. Boiled chicken with red rose in its mouth – symbolizes a lucky and noble start.

2. Gac sticky rice "Red flag with yellow star" - red of happiness, yellow of prosperity.

3. Vietnamese steamed shrimp and crab with coconut water – evokes a sweet, cool, and cozy taste.

4. Traditional fried shrimp and pork spring rolls - a familiar dish on every family table.

5. "Patriotic" dumplings - a creation from a rustic dish, conveying pride.

6. "Gen Z patriotic" salad - a modern combination, representing youthful vitality.

7. Traditional Canh Bong Tha – an elegant dish, associated with a long-standing culinary culture.

In addition, Ms. Huong also prepares "Fatherland" meals with many unique variations: from traditional meals associated with family memories, to creative meals with modern red and yellow colors. Each meal tray is not only a full meal for the family reunion, but also a culinary art painting, recreating the image of the brilliant country, conveying national pride and love for the homeland in each dish.

The "Fatherland" meal includes the following dishes:

1. "Patriotic" stir-fried beef with lemongrass and chili – spicy, rich in flavor, topped with bright red chili pieces like a fiery flame.

2. "Red flag with yellow star" sticky rice with gac fruit - vermillion color symbolizes happiness, the five-pointed yellow star reminds of national pride.

5. "Patriotic" Flan - a modern dessert that still retains the shape of a yellow star on a red background, as a highlight connecting tradition and creativity.
