The Vietnamese noodle soup you'll LOVE as much as Pho | Bun Bo Hue | Marion's Kitchen

[@nguyennhungluu2678]

This recipe is surprisingly very close to authentic. Really amazing attempt Marion. And you cannot imagine how deep and flavorful this would turn out. It's wayyyy better than Pho. In Vietnam we use Thai basil and no cilantro/fried shallot for the condiments. If you want even deeper flavor, simmer/incubate the bone broth overnight over very low heat. I usually just boil it rapidly, heat off then cover with a towel overnight. After that point, put in the aromatics and cook for another hour then you're ready for dinner!

Omg I still remember it as the best thing I had ever tasted. Dipping in the crusty roll it was Devine . Oh I miss Vietnam

[@FreddieTruong]

As a Vietnamese, I approve this version. The fact that she pronounces the name of the dish correctly shows how she always values cultural respect.

[@anonymouse540]

So if she pronounced incorrectly you would see it as being disrespectful?????

[@arpanworld2]

I am from India and when i discovered Pho it was life changing. Often you want a flavorful but light food and pho for me is that ultimate food.

[@datgal2u]

@@arpanworld2 Vietnamese food is in general lighter compared to say Thai or Laotian. We also eat a lot of fresh herbs and piles of vegetables with most our meals (many cultures cook down the herbs, we like it freshly served at the table). Our food is also more interactive; you can flavor or customize many of your own food to your own liking at the table. That's what makes us stand out.

[@datgal2u]

@Mia Li I think if you're gonna say you love something, you should attempt to pronounce it properly. Especially if it becomes mainstream. Bun bo Hue isn't hard to say. Many people still cannot say pho properly...heck, Marion says fur (I think it's her Australian accent). We're not eating hairy things are we? LOL! With that said, I don't expect her to say pho properly since it's tonal, but maybe just say phuh/fuh instead of fur would be nice.

[@thaihien139]

@@anonymouse540 he didnt say that at all, the point is she was saying that with the correct accent from that region, it sounds lovely, and she was actually making it in a really authentic way. The same things happen with people around the world when they pronounce the name of food correctly, people always feel happy about it

@@senle7912 Isn't the point of people even needing to know it exists why it's not as popular? lol

[@rosalee7517]

For me, that dish is a must eat food in Vietnam cuisine, it is delicious, perfect combination of deep, rich beef broth; herbs on top that smell like heaven; soft tender slice of beefs; 1 whole piece of soft silky smooth Vietnamese pork bologna with tiny hint aroma & spiciness of black pepper in every bite, the one that is kind of tiny that I have to order 1~2 additional & unwrap from its tiny & cute green banana leaves; eat those along with big but just the right size of noodles made from rice flour & topica starch, together with the chilly, garlic, lemon grass oil serve on the side or put right in the broth. Lovely, truly lovely. I really miss that dish.

As a Vietnamese who cooks Bun Bo Hue every week, this recipe is quite close to the authentic. I also use Pineapple when cooking thr broth to make the beef tender faster and add a slightly fruity flavour to the broth, Also when serving, chop onions and green onion, mix them up, then add to the bowl 🍲, Otherwise buy some Vietnamese Ham (Chả Lụa) to add in the dish as a topping.

[@Summerchocotea]

As a Saigonese, I'm happy to see that Marion used the big noodles to eat with this soup, because there are 2 versions of this Bún Bò Huế in VN, 1 in Huế which they use the very small noodles and 1 in Saigon which they use the big one, also the taste is likely a bit different. The one in Saigon tastes a bit richer. I've eaten this soup countless of time both in Huế and in Saigon and personally I love the version in Saigon much more. If you ever come to Saigon, pay a visit to Bún bò Huế Chú Há in district 3. That place serves the best Bún bò in town.

The correct way to add shrimp paste in the stock is to dissolve the paste in 1 to 2 cups of water and let it sit overnight then use only the water for the stock. This prevents the stock to have brownish color due to the paste!

I love the color of bun bo that you've made and the way you cook our dishes. But this way haven't maximum the aroma of bun bo. I'll give you some tips here, maybe next time you should try: + before steam beef bones, we usually soak the bones in salted water to get rid of the bad smell, next grill on high fire, you can bake in oven and then we steam + onions, ginger also need grill on high fire or bake until it burn the skin. And then we wash until clean and add to steam with beef +Shrimp paste can also stir fry with lemongrass and garlic to elevate flavor.

You should saute the "mirepoix" 1st and then the shrimp paste before adding any water. In Vietnam we also use pineapple for the "mirepoix". For the topping, combine finely chopped spring onion, onion and culantro (not cilantro). The classic condiments are shredded banana blossom, shredded water spinach and bean sprout.
