Vietnamese Hue Noodle Soup - Bun Bo Hue image

My favorite Vietnamese restaurant, "Little Saigon", serves Bun Bo Hue as a weekend special, starting on Thursday night. Since I can't move in for the weekend, it is natural that I learn to prepare to make this delicious dish for myself. Now you, too, can enjoy it, without going far from your kitchen!

I've never had Vietnamese noodle soup before, but this was a great introduction. The broth was light and flavorful, and the noodles were perfectly cooked. I especially liked the crispy shallots and bean sprouts.
