Рецепт Bún bò Huế
Bún bò Huế is one hell of a delicious noodle soup dish, it’s a meat lover’s perfect bowl as this amazing Central Vietnamese noodle soup is made from tender slices of beef shanks and pork hocks. The slow process of cooking the meats together with the spices creates this magical concoction where it yields a collagen rich, flavourful and spicy soup with multiple layers of flavour.
The name come from the city Huế located in Central Vietnam, this city was once the capital of Vietnam and known and still known as the Imperial City hence their cuisine is usually associated with the cooking style of the former royal court. In Huế and its surrounding cities this dish is simply known as Bún bò. Other part of the name means noodles and beef for Bún and Bò respectively.
If you loved Pho you will love this even better, it is rustic and more down to earth than its popular cousin. The dish give a perfect balance of spicy, sour, salty and sweet flavours where lemon grass is the predominant one. If you even make this the traditional way then put adventurous on the adjective list to define this dish as it contains some banana flower, shrimp paste and coagulated pork blood. For today we will be making it less traditional as we will be opting out of the coagulated pork blood, not that I don’t like them but it’s just an issue with where do I get one here in Auckland. Some might say that there are already supplies of pork blood in several Asian shops but I was never bothered coagulating them myself.
