Bánh tráng nướng, or grilled rice paper with egg, is a Da Lat street food classic, often called “Vietnamese pizza” for its round shape and colorful toppings. A thin sheet of rice paper is grilled over a charcoal brazier, slathered with oil or butter, and topped with a beaten egg (quail or chicken), chopped spring onions, dried shrimp, and optional extras like minced pork, sausage, or cheese. The rice paper crisps up, the egg sets into a golden layer, and a drizzle of sweet chili sauce or mayonnaise adds a tangy kick. Folded or rolled and wrapped in newspaper, it’s a portable, affordable snack that’s both crunchy and savory, perfect for Da Lat’s cool evenings.

Simple Bánh Tráng Nướng Recipe

Make Da Lat’s Vietnamese pizza at home with this easy recipe (Serves 2):
Ingredients:

• 2 sheets Vietnamese rice paper

• 2 quail eggs (or 1 chicken egg)

• 2 tbsp chopped spring onions

• 1 tbsp dried shrimp, soaked and chopped

• 1 tbsp minced pork (optional)

• 1 tsp satay or chili oil

• 1 tbsp sweet chili sauce

• 1 tbsp mayonnaise

• 1 tsp fried shallots (optional)

Instructions:

1. Heat a non-stick pan or charcoal grill to medium-low. Place a rice paper sheet on the surface.

2. Brush with satay or chili oil, sprinkle spring onions, and crack the egg(s) on top. Spread evenly with a spoon.

Bánh tráng nướng is a cultural staple in Da Lat, born from the ward’s chilly climate and street food creativity. Its nickname, “Vietnamese pizza,” reflects its round shape and colorful toppings, but the crispy rice paper base sets it apart, as noted by Vietnamplus.vn. The dish’s simplicity—rice paper, egg, and local spices—makes it affordable ($0.40–$1.20), while its smoky, savory flavor captivates, especially at night markets. Tripadvisor reviews (4/5 stars for Da Lat Night Market) praise its “crisp, flavorful bite” but note hygiene concerns at some stalls; our tours partner with vetted vendors for quality and safety. The dish’s popularity has spread across Vietnam, but Da Lat’s version, with its highland ingredients, remains unmatched.

The dry season (November–April) is perfect for evening street food outings, with cool temperatures (12–15°C at night) enhancing the warmth of freshly grilled bánh tráng nướng. The Da Lat Flower Festival (biennial, late December) adds festive charm to Night Market visits, though book early for crowds. The rainy season (May–October) offers a cozy ambiance; evening visits (5:00–8:00 PM) avoid wet conditions.

• Choose Busy Stalls: Opt for vendors like Mrs. Dinh or Bà Chửi for freshness and hygiene, as recommended by Mytour.vn; busy stalls indicate quality.

• Customize Toppings: Request extra egg, cheese, or sausage for variety; specify less chili if sensitive to spice.

• Pair with Drinks: Enjoy with hot soy milk ($0.30–$0.80) or lemon tea ($0.50–$1) to balance flavors.

• Visit Evenings: Nighttime (5:00–9:00 PM) offers the best atmosphere, especially in cooler months.
