Soups
There is more to Vietnamese soup than phở though phở is still my favorite hangover cure, and apparently most of New Orleans agrees. In Vietnam, noodle soups are breakfast food: filling enough to start the day, light enough that you’re not stagnant by noon. Bún Bò Huế, Bún Mọc, Bún Riêu – these are the dishes that would blow phở out of the water if more people knew them. These recipes go beyond the noodle bowl, but the same principle applies: a good soup should make you feel ready, not weighed down.
