Vietnamese miniature food creators<\/h2>\n

Any chef worth their salt will tell you cooking is a true form of art that requires years of practice and dedication to master, and of course, they have a point. Turning raw ingredients into delicious meals isn\u2019t a skill you can pick up overnight, as I have experienced firsthand during my days learning how to cook during the lockdown in \u0110\u00e0 N\u1eb5ng<\/a>, where I live.<\/p>\n

But we all know that creative minds know no bounds. There are always cooking enthusiasts out there who want to push their limits further, coming up with unique ways to show their passion for the culinary arts. A Vietnamese cooking channel, for instance, is constantly cooking mini versions of our regular dishes<\/strong>. The best part is, even though each of their creations are no bigger than the side of a coin, they are fully edible<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In other news, a Hanoi-based artist has also recently made international headlines for carving miniature figurines of popular Vietnamese dishes<\/strong> such as ph\u1edf<\/em> amd b\u00e1nh m\u00ec<\/em>. Her products look so real that they\u2019ll make you want to take a bite.<\/p>\n

G\u00f3c B\u1ebfp Nh\u1ecf (Small Kitchen Corner)<\/strong><\/a> is a budding Vietnamese cooking channel that sets itself apart for its creative miniature versions of our everyday meals, each no bigger than the size of a coin.<\/p>\n

The channel takes its name quite literally, as everything used in its videos \u2013 from knives, forks, and other utensils to pans, pots, and stoves \u2013 is tiny<\/strong>. Though they might look like toys, all the tools are fully functional.<\/p>\n

\nThe dishes are made using real ingredients just like a regular meal<\/em>

G\u00f3c B\u1ebfp Nh\u1ecf\u2019s creations include a wide variety of dishes from both Asian and Western cuisines. You can find b\u00e1nh ch\u01b0ng \u2013 <\/em>a traditional cake that Vietnamese people eat during the Lunar New Year \u2013 in one video, and then Italian pasta in another. The dishes are prepared just like regular-sized meals<\/strong>, using real ingredients and condiments. As a result, they are fully edible<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Nguy\u1ec5n Th\u1ecb H\u00e0 An<\/strong><\/a>, an artist currently living in Hanoi, has recently wowed the international community with her miniature figurines of signature Vietnamese food.<\/p>\n

Made using clay and liquid plastic<\/strong>, H\u00e0 An\u2019s works can be held on the tip of a finger, yet every detail is incredibly realistic<\/strong>. This zoomed-in picture of her ph\u1edf<\/em> model, for instance, shows a dish you\u2019d expect to see on the menu of a ph\u1edf<\/em> restaurant. It also comes with a side dish featuring qu\u1ea9y<\/em> \u2013 crunchy fried flour sticks that many Vietnamese people like to eat with their ph\u1edf.<\/em><\/p>\n
