Bún bò Huế - Hue's beef vermicelli

from Hanh's mobile

  
 So we came to a friend's house last night and had bun bo Hue - Hue's vermicelli soup. Forget all about unimportant part, cheesy me, let come back to what we are all interested in, food.

I am not going to show you how to cook, it's not a right start, many steps and techniques, many strange ingredients and some ingredients, we couldn't find here. Maybe, when you are familiar with some simple dishes and cooking techniques, we will cook a substitute bun bo Hue but for now, just wandering a bit
If you're love spicy aromatic flavour, you're gonna love it

Hue's vermicelli soup OR vermicelli soup of Hue, a city, our old capital. Taking about Vietnamese Food we must mention the difference between three reasons from North to South (which I hope my future trip will discover the distinction to subtle level).
But basically,
Middle part: hot and spicy (chilli)
South part: more sweet (using much more sugar)
 In the North, people do not use so much chilli or sugar, seasoning are less strong and more balance but tend to use more meat than fish and vegetable.

Come from the middle, bun bo hue is supposed to be very hot and spicy, prepare yourself to bust in to tears :d :p,
OR you can cheat by using less chilli as you cook, but if you are going to Hue, be prepared :)



 


You might not understand Vietnamese but I love the old lady, love her manner - her voice. She is known for her contribution to Hue's culinary art, reserve and develop.
