Ingredients
2 lbs. Pork Bone
5 Tomatoes
1 jar Crab Paste
3/4 cup Dried Shrimp (soaked in water)
1 whole Garlic minced
3/4 Onion
3 Eggs
1 tsp. Salt and 1 1/2 tsp. Salt and 1/2 tsp. Salt
24 cups Water
1/4 tsp. Mushroom Seasoning
1/2 tsp. Sugar
1 1/2 Tbsp. Oil
1 Tbsp. minced Garlic
1 tsp. Annatto Seed Oil or regular Oil
1 Tbsp. minced Garlic
Other ingredients
5 Large Fried Tofu
1 Block Pork Blood (optional)
1 package Rice Stick Noodles
Fresh Herbs
Water Spinach Stems
Shrimp Sauce (to taste)
Sliced Hot Chili Pepper
Sliced Limes
Hot Chili Sauce
Bean Sprouts
Fish Sauce (to taste)
Fill a large pot with some water, add in 1 tsp. Salt. Then add 2 lbs. Pork Bone. Bring to a boil, make sure the bones are semi-cooked. Remove from heat and drain out the water.
Rinse and clean the bones. Put the bones in a bowl and set aside. Using a clean large pot, pour in 24 cups Water. Add in the bones again. Add 1 1/2 tsp. Salt. Bring to a boil and then down to a simmer. Skim the broth.
Continue to let it simmer. While you let the broth simmer, finely chop 3/4 cup Dried Shrimp. Soak the shrimp in water for 2-3 hours before chopping. When you are done, put in a bowl and set aside. Next, wash 5 Tomatoes. Cut and put into a bowl.
After the broth has simmer for 30 minutes. Add 3/4 of an Onion. Add 1/4 tsp. Mushroom Seasoning. Add 1/2 tsp. Sugar. Add 1/2 tsp. Salt. Continue to let it simmer.
In a skillet, add 1 1/2 Tbsp. Oil. Add 1 Tbsp. minced Garlic. Saute until slightly brown. Add the Tomatoes. Stir for 1-2 minutes. Put the Tomatoes into the broth. Remove the Onion from the broth. Continue to let it simmer.
Using another skillet, add 1 tsp. Annatto Seed Oil or regular oil. Add in the rest of the minced Garlic. Using medium heat, saute for a few seconds. Add the finely chopped Dried Shrimp. Stir until even. Add 1 jar of Crab Paste. Mix well.
Remove from heat and let it cool. When the mixture has cooled down. Crack 3 Eggs and mix until even.
Turn the heat of your soup to high and let it boils. When it starts to boil, add in the crab mixture. Remember you have to pour the mixture when it's boiling, doing so will help it floats to the top quicker.
When you starts to see the crab mixture floats to the top, reduce the heat and let it simmer. This next part is optional. You can fry some Tofu to put in your soup.
You can also include Pork Blood in your soup. They sell blocks of Pork Blood at Asian Supermarket. If you choose to put this in your soup.
Remember to boil it then cut into smaller pieces.
Add in the Fried Tofu. Continue to let the soup simmer on low heat until you are ready to serve. Next prepare the noodles and fresh herbs.
Fill a pot with water, bring to a boil. Add in 1 package of Rice Sticks. Let it boil for about 5-7 minutes or until soften.
Drain out the water. Rinse with cold water. Shuffle it a few times and set aside.
Fresh herbs you will need are Perilla (Tia To), Vietnamese Balm (Kinh Gioi), and any other herbs you like. You will also need Water Spinach Stems and Bean Sprouts. Using a knife split the stem into thin strips. Soak in water and drain out when you are ready to use.
Scoop some Shrimp sauce and put on a small plate. Cut 1 Lime and place it on the plate. Slice some Hot Chili Pepper. If you like spicy, have a small dish of hot sauce. Click on the link to learn how to make your own hot sauce.
To assemble, add some cooked Rice Stick Noodles into a bowl. You can add some cooked Pork Blood. Pour in the soup with crab mixture, Tofu, and Tomatoes.
Place all the garnishes near your bowl. Add some Shrimp Sauce or Fish Sauce. Add 1 or 2 slice of Hot Chili Pepper. Add some Hot Sauce. Squeeze in some Lime Juice. Add some Fresh Herbs, Bean Sprouts, and Split Water Spinach Stems. Mix and enjoy your soup.

OH MY GOD

[@swt4yu]

My mom always makes this.

[@wordscontrolminds]

Is there a name/brand for the crab paste? Is it available to buy in europe?

[@OopsIDroppedStitchesAgain]

wordscontrolminds you can find it easily in Asian store in your area

[@naiphimmarath1115]

Looks delicious! What is a good substitute for the dried shrimp if you’re allergic to shrimp?

[@amare83]

Nai Phimmarath dried scallops, anchovies, crawfish? Or maybe just use fish sauce in place of it altogether.

[@fannho3853]

How to cook pork blood ?

[@dctrn65]

Ha Lan la nuoc gi? o dau?

[@kimtran6461]

Can I put the soup in the freezer and eat it in a week? I made too much.

[@AJ-qe3lo]

What kind of pork bones do you use?

What if I’m Allergic to mushroom What can substitute mushroom seasoning

[@damiann4734]

The more authentic recipes dont have mushroom seasoning. You can leave it out or substitute with fish sauce.

[@ptyh27]

this looks exact te same as northern thai noodle soup

[@yuhtahn5956]

xin chao

[@blackberry.5852]

thats a hugee serving. ..looks tasty though

[@armeezykunzu7763]

NICE! but where's crab ??

[@TerraGreatestLoveMachine]

Nobody absolutely No body The translation : Vietnamese crab noodle soup = Oh new cool enemies crab noodle soup

[@nancyha7566]

what kind of tofu do you get? firm or soft?

[@Boriville]

Nancy Ha We usually get extra firm.

[@nancyha7566]

awesome thank you ..is there a special brand?

[@Boriville]

Nancy Ha You're welcome. We usually use International Tofu. =)

[@sexiliciouslyhott]

You should try small tofu, fry them up to make them crispy then add to the broth. This makes the tofu absorb the broth and its incredibly delicious. I use Nhu Quynh fried tofu, not sure if it's available in your area

[@ErikaMayX]

My favorite way is to buy that shit already fried in packages. I know it's the lazy way but I hate frying tofu and the fried tofu works better in this recipe

[@PebbleMill]

I don't eat pork. Can I substitute the pork bones for beef or chicken. If I can, which alternative is best?

[@Boriville]

You can use chicken stock to replace the pork bones. =)

[@janetngantran]

Reflective Light Hi there, you can use other stock like chicken stock or daikon stock. It just enhance the savory taste, otherwise, regular water works fine as well. The soup has lots of flavor already. Good luck :)

[@role8170]

[@markmano5998]

Borivill

[@davidphan100]

Use feal crab and the stock the crab has boiled in

[@TrangTran-tn3rb]

O

[@brooklynbeauty5680]

The real way has no pork. It's strictly seafood. The crab is the main ingredient in the broth. Then you add the other shellfish along with tofu.

[@lephihung98]

It's not seafood. The main ingredient of traditional "Bún riêu cua" is freshwater crab

[@AngelinaLeTV]

Brooklyn Beauty I'm Vietnamese and it's very common to add the pork meat

[@Asia-oq2iz]

Can I not put the crab mixture in the bun rieu cause i really don't like any of that besides the broth of the bun rieu ? Does it matter?

[@clovisbuckingham247]

Than it wouldn't be called a crab soup.... Just go eat some pho with tomatoes if you don't like it lmao

[@Asia-oq2iz]

Wow thanks for your smart ass reply lmao!

[@michelleh5006]

Asia Broadbent Yes it possible to eat it without the crab mixture. My mom makes a version of this without any seafood (my nephew is allergic to shellfish) and still taste amazing.

[@Asia-oq2iz]

Thanks for your honest reply. Do I just follow the same steps but leave out the crab mixture?

[@michelleh5006]

Asia Broadbent Yes just follow the recipe. It won't taste 100% percent like bun rieu. But the broth will still be good without the mixture. You can always make it to suit your taste. Not all recipes are the same. One thing I noticed my mom use was fresh and can tomatoes.

[@AJ-qe3lo]

I love this recipe, you did an amazing job! I’m just curious.. maybe it’s not something you notice, but why is it when you speak you add (s) and make words plural? E.g “When you start(s) to see the crab mixture float(s) to the top”

[@AJ-qe3lo]

It reminds me of how children speak. In a sense, it is childlike and it confuses me

[@micki773]

You're missing something but I can't tell what it is.

[@leemoon2130]

Micki C u mean the meat? When I made Bun Rieu I also put 1lb minced meat. And Mam tom into the soup

[@hoangh11]

not bun rieu tom

[@tomnguyen2733]

[@tomnguyen2733]

day nguoi my nau bun ha ..sao noi toan tieng anh kg vay ma

[@brunonguyen1076]

what happen to the crab meat?

[@lenghi7567]

Or use the jar version to avoid can products.

[@meep5822]

Uong nuoc chanh truoc khi di ngu loi Hai the nao

[@nyntyt]

I think broth is made from crab, not bone like this..

[@HanaAirisu]

Pork blood wth😨

[@OoMASEoO]

no one ever cooks the noodles correctly, you're supposed to soak it in cold water first 😂

[@sreypenhphork3488]

This is a different rice noodle that she is using it doesn’t have to soak it in cold water.

[@bizhop2]

What kind of an abomination bun rieu is this? A pork bone broth vegetarian tomato soup disguise as bun rieu. Where's the minced pork meat with crab mixture? Mixing the crab paste with minced dried shrimp does not fit as substitute for actual meat. This isn't a proper Vietnamese bun rieu.
