I wouldn't say so. There are similarities, the ones you mentioned, but the balance of flavours is quite different different, and the Vietnamese use many more herbs, in a much greater volume, to flavour their food. Sweet sauces for main meals are quite rare, slightly salty broths are more the norm.

You're right about the oil, I find the food here in Vietnam much more healthy than the food I ate in China. Plates of food swimming in oil are very rare.

Either a teaching certification from your home country/iPGCE or a 120 hrs TEFL course. Apostilled 4. Criminal background check from your home country issued within the past 6 months. Apostilled. This is rigid. The only legal loopholes for non-native speakers to legally teach are if they're already certified as a subject teacher in their home country, or if they obtained their degree in one of the designated native English speaking countries. -- Spiderboenz
