Hue beef noodle soup is loved for its eye-catching appearance and unforgettable rich flavor. Therefore, Hue not only attracts tourists by the beauty of the Perfume River and Ngu Mountain but also by the specialty beef noodle soup of the ancient capital.
Bun bo Hue was born during the reign of Lord Nguyen Hoang (around the 16th century). Legend has it that in Van Cu village (now Huong Tra town, Thua Thien Hue province), there was a beautiful, talented and skilled Bun lady who made noodles. She created a new way to prepare noodles by using beef to make broth. From then on, Bun bo Hue was born and has been passed down through many generations. Up to now, Bun bo Hue has been modified with the appearance of many other ingredients such as pig's feet, pig's blood, and crab cakes.
Bun bo Hue has many differences compared to bun bo in other localities. This dish is so famous that anyone who comes to Hue must try it at least once. The special feature of Bun bo Hue is the thick noodles, thin but large slices of beef, and the red-orange broth with an attractive spicy flavor. To cook this Hue specialty, the chef must be extremely meticulous from choosing the ingredients to each step of preparation.
A bowl of Hue beef noodle soup includes vermicelli, beef, pork blood, crab cake and broth. The vermicelli is made from rice flour mixed with tapioca flour in the right ratio to have the right amount of toughness. The beef chosen is the front leg, beef brisket or bright red flower, light yellow beef fat. The eye-catching orange-yellow crab cake is made from crab fat and minced crab meat, with a natural fatty taste.
The "soul" of Hue beef noodle soup is the broth, simmered from beef bones, so it has a rich sweet taste. The broth is also added with a little shrimp paste and lemongrass to create an attractive, strong aroma. A delicious bowl of Hue beef noodle soup, with the authentic taste of the ancient capital, must have an attractive aroma, the orange color of annatto oil, the brown color of beef, pig's blood and the green color of onions, coriander, and a little refreshing bean sprouts. The noodle dish with its spicy, sweet and rich flavors really "captivates" diners.
