Ăn Gì?

Type what's in your kitchen, or what you feel like eating, and see which Vietnamese dishes you can cook.

The word "agni" in glowing fire letters on a dark background, with the line "Cook with what you have."

Ăn Gì? means "what should we eat?". It starts from the ingredients you already have: type them in, with or without Vietnamese accents, and it lists Vietnamese dishes you can cook, ranked by how many of their ingredients you have. Each dish says what is missing and what can replace it.

You can also describe what you want in a sentence, like "món cay làm nhanh cho 2 người" (something spicy and quick for 2), and it takes the number of people, cooking time and vegetarian requests into account.

Recipes are tagged by region, meal, occasion, cooking method, diet and more. Quantities scale to the number of people. Dishes come with photos, and the Explore page is a photo grid for browsing when you have nothing particular in mind.
