Beef hủ tiếu (Southern Vietnamese noodle soup)

South Vietnam's answer to Pho. The base of Hủ Tiếu is often pork and seafood, but it is also made with beef. The rice noodles here are 'chewier' than in Pho, and the soup tastes sweeter and saltier, full of garlic.

Instructions

1

Boil the stock with the spices and mushrooms.

Tip: The taste of the stock defines the dish.
2

Cook the noodles, rinse them, and place in bowls.

Tip: Rinsing starch is important for a clear soup.
3

Place raw meat slices on the noodles and pour over the boiling hot broth.

Tip: The hot broth 'cooks' the meat in the bowl (heat treatment), so it remains butter-soft.
