Banh Trang Nuong (Vietnamese Pizza)

Banh Trang Nuong is a beloved Vietnamese street snack, sometimes nicknamed “Vietnamese pizza” because of its round shape and variety of toppings. It’s made by grilling a large rice paper (banh trang) over charcoal until crispy, then topped with ingredients like egg, dried shrimp, green onions, pork floss, sausage, and chili sauce. The heat melts the toppings together, creating a crispy, savory treat with layers of texture and flavor.

Often enjoyed as a quick snack or light meal, Banh Trang Nuong is especially popular in Da Lat and Ho Chi Minh City, attracting locals and tourists alike who love its smoky aroma and bold taste.
