Is Bún bò Huế better then Pho? 🍲 #shorts

Bún bò Huế

Ingredients
- 3 beef short ribs
- 2 kg (4.4 lbs) beef bones
- 1 pork knuckle
- 2 pigs' trotters
- 6 sticks lemongrass, cut into 5 cm (2-inch) pieces
- 1 piece ginger, thickly sliced
- 1 brown onion, peeled
- 5 shallots, peeled
- 180 ml (¾ cup) fish sauce
- 1 tbsp fermented shrimp paste
- 3 pieces rock sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp chicken bouillon
- 5 tbsp peanut oil
- 1 tbsp annatto seeds
- 2 tbsp ground chilli (use less if you prefer it milder)
- 1 head garlic, peeled and finely diced
- 2 shallots, finely diced
- 3 sticks lemongrass, finely diced
- 1 packet Bun Bo Hue noodles (round rice noodles)
- 1 packet bean sprouts
- 1 bunch coriander
- 1 bunch Vietnamese mint (rau răm)
- 4 limes

Method
1. Add the beef and pork bones to a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes, skimming off any scum that rises to the surface.
2. While the bones are simmering, heat the peanut oil in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the annatto seeds and ground chilli, stirring frequently for 7–8 minutes, until the oil turns a deep red. Strain the oil, discarding the seeds, and set aside.
3. Drain and discard the water from the bones. Rinse the bones thoroughly, clean the pot, and add the bones back in. Cover with fresh water.
4. Add the lemongrass sticks, ginger, whole onion, whole peeled shallots, fish sauce, fermented shrimp paste, rock sugar, salt, and chicken bouillon to the pot. Bring to a simmer.
5. In a separate pan, heat the reserved annatto oil over medium heat. Add the diced shallots, lemongrass, and garlic, sautéing for 4–5 minutes. Once fragrant, transfer this mixture to the pot with the bones and other aromatics.
6. Simmer the broth for 6 hours. After 3 hours, remove the pork knuckle and beef ribs from the pot. These will be sliced and served with the noodles. If you prefer your meat with a bit more chew, remove it after 1.5 hours instead.
7. Cook the noodles according to the packet instructions (they usually take 20–25 minutes). Once cooked, drain them well and rinse under cold water to prevent overcooking.
8. When ready to serve, briefly blanch some noodles in boiling water to reheat them. Place the noodles in a large bowl, top with slices of the cooked meat, and ladle over the hot, spicy broth. Garnish with coriander, Vietnamese mint, bean sprouts, and a wedge of lime.

Vietnamese here! Pho is fresher and light, while Bún bò has more topping, savory taste because of more spices. Anyway I love both. XD

Tôi cữ nghĩ chỉ người Việt mới có thể nấu bún bò chất lượng. Nhưng nhìn cách Andy nấu với các nguyên liệu này, thì dù không được nếm thử cũng có thể tin là ngon.

Bun Bo hue originates from the central part of Vietnam where more bold tastes are preferred, particularly sweet. Whereas Pho is a northern dish and the nothern cuisine is less sweet and more mild. Bun Bo Hue is more popular among westerners because it has familiar flavours whereas pho is a bit milder and more about the depth of the broth opposed to the more strong flavour of Bun Bo Hue.

I love the enthusiasm when Andy said Bun Bo. Canadian-born Vietnamese here and this looked great 😁

[henrynguyen]

seeing a non-vietnamese making Bún bò brings tears to my eyes. I can hear my ancestors applauding. Andy even uses the right amount of sauteed chili crisp and not the "white' amount. Uncle Roger approves!!

Thank you for giving so much care for Vietnamese cuisine ❤

I am Vietnamese and I am glad that I'm not alone, there are actually people who prefer Bún bò Huế to Phở. Even though I am from Hanoi, the capital city of Vietnam and also the place whose Phở is most famous, I actually enjoy Bún bò Huế more because of the savory flavor of the broth, and also because there are more toppings in a bowl. Anyway, thank you for spending time doing research and trying to make the dishes of our country. Keep up the good work!
