Rice noodle - Bún

To be honest, I don't know how many kind of bún (white rice noodles) we have: big, small, straight, curving (bánh hỏi) ... and it would be more difficult to count how many dishes we have with this "bún"!

Rice noodle without soup: with pork and onion (bún thịt heo xào)

Rice noodle with soup: canh bún, similar to bún riêu but served with cooked water spinach

This white & made from rice noodles can be translated as rice vermicelli, but I keep call it in this blog as "bún". 
Bún can go with soup and without it!  


With soup: we have famous bún bò Huế (with pork in Hue style), popular for Vietnamese in the South - bún riêu (with crab, what I had today with friend), bún mắm (quite special with strong flavor soup), bún măng vịt (with duck and bamboo), bún mộc from Hà Nội (is it?), bún thang... and many many more, each province probably has different and special for that area dish...


Without soup we have bún chả giò ( with spring rolls), bún thịt nướng (with grilled pork), bún nem nướng (i didn't eat for very long!), bún chả Hà Nội (dish from Hanoi!), bún thịt xào (with stirred meat: beef or pork!)...
