Vietnamese cuisine is unique. It balances five tastes: spice, sour, bitter, salt and sweet. According to Vietnamese tradition, each of the tastes corresponds with an organ of the body. Cooks also try to include five types of nutrients — powder, water, minerals, protein and fat — as well as five colors — white, green, yellow, red and black — in each dish. Therefore, the dishes are balanced and colorful, attractive to both the eye and the tongue. There is also a balance between "heating" and "cooling". Duck meat, for example, is considered cool, and is thus served in summer with ginger, which is considered warm. Chicken, on the other hand, is a warm food, so it's usually eaten in the winter and served with a sour sauce, which is considered cool.
