A financial executive based in New York City, Hany Awadalla serves as a managing director with National Securities. In his free time, Hany Awadalla enjoys cooking Vietnamese food and French-Asian fusion.
Vietnamese food in its modern form owes much to the influence of French colonization, which began in the 18th century and lasted until the middle of the 20th century. Perhaps the most famous Vietnamese menu item, the banh mi sandwich, is served on a crusty French baguette. However, the bread is where most of the similarities end. The banh mi includes distinctly Vietnamese fillings such as grilled pork, pickled carrots, cilantro, and sardines.
Another famous Vietnamese dish is a soup known simply as pho. Pho features a combination of traditional Vietnamese rice noodles and French meat broth. According to one historical theory, Vietnamese cooks used the scraps of slaughtered cattle to assemble the signature components of pho, which often include tripe, tendon, and beef meatballs.
