Forget Vegemite on toast, home cooks can use the iconic breakfast spread to create savoury cuisines ranging from Vietnamese pho to spaghetti.
The brand has shared a series of recipes – inspired by the flavours and cultures of Australia – to encourage people to include the dark, salty condiment in their cooking.
The spread can offer a richer, more layered flavour and depth to the dish, whether it’s a beef-based broth or a stir fry.
To celebrate the country’s cultural diversity during Harmony Week, Vegemite has whipped up four recipes – including beef pho, cheesy spaghetti, beef shawarma skewers and a black bean stir fry with beef.

Celebrity chef Adam Liaw previously revealed he likes using unusual products such as Vegemite to give a punch to his dishes.
‘A good savoury stew should incorporate ingredients and processes that boost its umami taste. Look for umami-rich ingredients like tomato paste, Vegemite, soy sauce and stock,’ he said.
The brand is now encouraging Aussies to celebrate the nation’s diversity of cultures, languages and flavours by sharing a series of varied ways to enjoy Vegemite.
‘Australia is a wonderful and truly unique nation, but more than anything, it’s diverse and multicultural,’ Jacqui Roth, marketing manager at Bega Cheese Limited, said.
‘Vegemite is a symbol of Australia’s national identity, so we feel we have a duty to recognise how important different cultures have been in shaping our country… and our national cuisine for that matter.
To make Middle-Eastern-inspired beef Shawarma skewers, you’ll need beef sirloin, Greek yoghurt, red onion, lemon, garlic, herbs and spices and Vegemite
To make a cheese spaghetti, you’ll need pasta, butter, Vegemite, Parmesan cheese and chives
For a beef and black bean stir fry, you’ll need beef tenderloin, snow peas, red capsicum, broccoli, brown onion, baby corn, sesame seeds, garlic and Vegemite
‘This past year has shown us how unique Australia is and how great we are as a country. We want to encourage Aussies to celebrate our culture and the ingredient that makes us great – our people.
‘What a better way to do that than enjoying the mix of flavours that make up the taste of Australia and celebrating the diverse languages spoken Down Under.’
Australia is one of the most multicultural countries in the world.
According to data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics, almost half (49 per cent) of Australians were either born overseas or one or both parents were born in a different country.
It is not surprising then that there are more than 300 separately identified languages being spoken in Australian homes.
The top 10 most spoken languages in the country include Cantonese, Mandarin, Vietnamese, Arabic, Italian, Greek, Tagalog, Hindi, Spanish and English.
