Ingredients
- 1 package rice noodles vermicelli, thin or medium thickness. The same type used in bún bò Huế, dried; 16 oz
Broth
- 2 lb chicken any cuts, or whole chicken
- 1 yellow onion halved, medium
- 2 tablespoons dried shrimp
- 1/4 /4 teaspoon monosodium glutamate
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce optional
- water enough to cover the chicken (8-12 cups)
- salt to taste
Toppings
- chicken from the chicken used for broth, shredded
- 4 egg fried thin and julienned, large; scrambled
- 1/2 /2 pound Vietnamese pork sausage chả lụa, julienned
Herbs & Garnish
- scallions roughly chopped
- cilantro roughly chopped
- Vietnamese coriander rau răm
- red onion thinly sliced
- shallot optional, fried
- Thai chiles optional
- shrimp paste mam tom, optional
- ca cuong beetle extract, optional
Instructions
- Add chicken and all broth ingredients into a pot, except the salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for ~15-20 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Season to taste with salt. Discard onion.
- Meanwhile, prepare the eggs. Beat eggs in a bowl and add 1-2 tablespoons water to thin it out a bit. Lightly oil a pan and add just enough egg to make a thin layer, flipping about midway. Make as many as it takes to use up all the eggs, then loosely roll the egg crepes individually to cut into strips / julienne.
- Remove chicken from broth when it's fully cooked. Wait until cool, then shred. Cut the Vietnamese sausage to match the thickness of the chicken and eggs.
- Lightly fry or deep-fry thinly sliced shallots if you want to use this.
- Prepare rice noodles according to package instructions.
- Assemble your soup bowls. Add noodles, toppings, herbs, garnish, broth, a few drops of beetle extract per bowl, and serve.
