Treat your ingredients with care...
- Baguette — Choose a crusty baguette with a light and airy interior for the best texture in the dish.
- Fish sauce — Look for a high-quality fish sauce with no added MSG for authentic Vietnamese flavor.
- Lime juice — Freshly squeezed lime juice will provide a bright and tangy taste to the salsa.
Tips & Tricks
- For added crunch, you can lightly toast the baguette slices in a pan with a little oil instead of using the oven.
- Customize the level of spiciness by adjusting the amount of red chili in the salsa.
- Serve with a side of pickled vegetables for a traditional Vietnamese touch.
- Add a dollop of Sriracha or hoisin sauce on top for extra flavor.
- Experiment with different herbs such as Thai basil or mint for a refreshing twist.
Serving advice
Serve the Vietnamese-style Huevos Rancheros hot, accompanied by a side of fresh salad or pickled vegetables. It pairs well with a cup of Vietnamese iced coffee or a refreshing glass of lemongrass-infused iced tea.
Presentation advice
Arrange the crispy baguette slices on a platter, spoon the tomato sauce mixture over them, and place the fried eggs on top. Garnish with a sprinkle of chopped cilantro for a pop of color. Serve the dish with a vibrant side salad to enhance the visual appeal.
