I'm currently addicted to Bun Bo Huey. My local Vietnamese restaurant makes a killer bowl and I legit get it atleast 2-3 times a week, thank you Vietnamese people for inventing this most delicious soup.
Phenomenal video... Any Vietnamese restaurant in the WORLD regardless of the geographical style (Northern or Southern Vietnamese) should institute this recipe! Madame Vo is among the best Vietnamese restaurants in the world and there aren't enough superlatives to praise the operation.
My adoptive sister is from Vietnam. She started making pilgrimages to Vietnam yearly when she turned 16. She loved the people, the culture, the language, but the thing she would talk about the most was the food. Her favorite meal was this exact soup! I can't wait to prepare her a steaming bowl of it, she'll be so excited! This recipe looks wonderful, the only thing I think it needs is a little southwestern kick. Thank you so much Chowhound!
@@FecalMatador You don't have to fusion everything. There's no need to put in a "south western" kick to this dish. Eat it as intended. Also the fusion game is targeted to hit the pale-skinned people's eyes. It's like going to a Bar Taco instead of a true Taqueria.
Bun bo hue is King. Gotta have banana blossoms and fish mint. Much like many other Viet dishes, the accompaniment of the right herbs and veggies is key.
You know the chef is a good chef when he makes the interviewer taste and smell each of the ingredients. Vietnamese cooking is just as much about it's components as it is the end product and he has such reverence for each ingredient and each step of the process. He truly loves food and cooking and I have so much respect for him for it.
Not sure why American vietnamese use paprika for adding color to food. Anato seed is so readily available and it's natural and it's authentic method. Paprika will change the flavour! You need pork hock with beef bones to create better depth of flavour. The beef shank look tough and dry. And you usually don't add all those spices into the broth. You should let people do that.
Too many of y’all are pressed about pronunciation. Appreciate that he is featuring the dish n liked it! Not everyone is gonna come in speaking fluent Vietnamese, it’s like telling a baseball player he is disrespectful for sucking at soccer. Sheesh
We had a Japanese guest came all the way from Japan 2 years ago. We made Bun Bo Hue for him and other Vietnamese cuisine. He described Bun Bo Hue has such a umami flavor and it's the best beef broth he ever had. He finished everything in that bowl to a single drop of soup. I love ramen myself, used to eat 5 times a week at my local Kahoo ramen until they close down due to Covid.
I think banana blossom is more traditional, not cabbage. And where’s the Vietnamese coriander, pork blood, and most importantly...gio heo?! The Hue way is def better 😊
If only Madame Vo wasn’t extremely expensive. A traditional dish like Bun Bo Hue should be enjoyed at a reasonable price point. It’s not a delicacy, rather an everyday meal for the working class. A real shame that New York ritz ruins the spirit of Vietnamese cooking.
this is hardly "traditional". It's not traditional to Huế where the dish originate and its not traditional to the southern style as he claim to be. This is the most pathetic bowl of bún bò huế ive ever seen in my life, no annatto oil, no pork trotters, no beef balls, no bloodcakes, no water spinach, no banana flowers. Cant even bother to use fresh noodles and am I supposed to take him seriously after he dump a bag of premade seasoning into the pot ?
I always make some sort of spicy beef noodle soup, and my sister LOVES PHO. I like pho but love more the depth of flavor with a deeper spicy beef soup..i would love to try this!!
He isn't Vietnamese and Bun Bo Hue is super hard to pronounce to someone who is not native. No one needs to know that you cringed, it is awkward but not that awful for you to make a comment about it.
Hella appreciate the recipe vid. One thing though. Those Vermicelli noodles gotta soak in water for an hour before cooking. Otherwise it's gonna be like chewing on shoelaces.
I applaud Madame Vo for putting this on their menu. It's a more exotic soup and can be a challenge for American tastes. So...this version is a bit more Americanized unfortunately. It's missing some key essentials like - pork broth with pork knuckles, blood jelly and annato oil. Check out Helen's Recipes youtube channel for a more authentic step by step recipe. Last, I'd be wary of that Pyramide spice mix. They often have lots of MSG. Happy Eating!
It's like saying "Move over hotdog, here's a hamburger." Pho and Bun Bo Hue aren't in competition. Vietnamese folks have more than one kind of soup, white people. You add Bun Bo Hue to your Viet food list, you don't move Pho over.
This looks like a very basic southern style. It's missing all the yummy pork parts like the trotters. I like thinly slice banana blossoms in mine as well.
Wait a minute, what's not authentic about his recipe? As far as I'm aware, he added everything he's supposed to add and didn't add anything he's not supposed to 🤔
@@MrAnji1995 He think its not authentic bun bo hue because its not cook the way his mom does. News flash, everyone cook bun bo hue differently....I willing to bet, hes not even Hue. lol
@@MrAnji1995 alot of important ingredients are missing: banana blossom, pork knuckle, pork blood pudding, chilly oil, beef ball. The broth is pretty close, but not as good wthout what i listed. @mrcalipride making good bun bo hue is not something a casual mother/grandma can even do. The best, authentic dishes are usually handled by shop owners with decades of experience
MY EARS :(:(:(:(:( if you're going to make a video about this AMAZING dish then plz learn how to pronounce it OTHERWISE :) ty for enlightening those who think pho is Vietnam's only good noodle soup
@@carmeloshin im not saying its easy, but I feel like if you're going to release a video about something, you should at least put in the effort to learn how to pronounce the name of whatever it is. Takes less than 1 minute if you search on google "bun bo hue pronunciation" :)
Why doesn't your website have a search bar? It's terrible design for looking up anything. Instead you have a big "advertise" button where it should be.
I ordered this by accident years ago and now it’s my favorite thing to eat when I eat Vietnamese food. Y’all viets are next level in the kitchen 💯

I can have Bun Bo x3 / week too!!!!

honestly Bun bo Hue needs more love, everyone in the US only ever talks about Pho but simply said pho ain't got shit on bun bo hue.
T I would say I agree
The problems is Bun bo hue have pork cook blood and pork feet. I like it, but American people not use to eat that.
It's too spicy for some white folks. But this is the king of Vietnamese Noodle Soup.
@@redrobotmonkey U dont have to go too spicy. It is good have a little bit spicy.
Gungho 2001 exactly. You don’t see anything of this in his recipe, which is catered more to Americans.
*I'm Mexican and I love Bun bo Hue it's Heaven in a Bowl...🍜🇲🇽*
Im vietnamese I love mexican food
I’m vietnamese and burito is amazing
Same, it's my fave
Same I’m Mexican and I love Vietnamese food but my favorite it’s bun bo hue ❤️
I'm Mexican as well never had it but will sure try it !!

- Sweet Story! She is lucky to have you!
@rj zander Fish sauce in Salsa sounds pretty good lol.
rj zander you’ve never heard of fusion? So by your logic, I can never eat a Korean taco.
@@FecalMatador If you're an adoptive sister having childhood memories of a certain flavour, then a little south west kick could destroy it all.

I’d choose bun bo hue Over pho any day 😍

I’m Mexican 🇲🇽 so when I eat Bun Bo Hue I take it to go so that I can eat it with a side of tortillas and guacamole just like how I eat Caldo de Res !
They should throw in some cachete de res some mex fusion stuff that be la bomba 🇲🇽!!
A viet-mex restaurant would be amazing 😭

Loved this! Great to see the process for Bun Bo Hue and discover a new chef. Excited for next week's episode!!
I love how Jimmy flexed his neck as he was introduced. Badass.
Love, love, love bún bò huế! Will definitely drop by Madame Vo when in NY.
Very excited for this new Chowhound series!!
I’m usually focused on ramen, but man do I love me some Bun Bo Hue every once in a while.

@@TNAN007 Beef broth is not very common in Japan, but I know it’s very popular with every Japanese person that I know. People love pho here!
just found this channel searching for bun bo hue. chill af!
Bun Bo Hue is the OG Vietnamese soup, the end!
Yummy I love Vietnamese food.
Secret ingredient is at 5:55...
MSG
I think banana blossom is more traditional, not cabbage. And where’s the Vietnamese coriander, pork blood, and most importantly...gio heo?! The Hue way is def better 😊
Agreed. Also the color comes from anatto seeds not paprika.
What does this Nam guy know, anyway?!
Funny cause when you order theirs, it doesn't come with either
Giò heo is a must!
This is definitely not the traditional way however it would still be delicious

One of the best recipe for bun bo hue.
Bun bo hue tastes best serve with culantro and thai basil.
This soup looks delicious! Definitely a great explanation of how to cook it and very entertaining 🔥
Looks amazing. So excited to try this out soon!
I love Bun Bo Hue it’s really good
It's look like so delicious, thank you to promote BUN BO HUE to the world. the famous Viet Nam Food. So amazing!!
Using fresh rice vermicelli noodles instead of the rehydrated ones in the Bun Bo Hue or any rice noodle dish makes a world of difference.
8:03 girl, find a bf who look at you like the way he looks at chef 😂
I always make some sort of spicy beef noodle soup, and my sister LOVES PHO. I like pho but love more the depth of flavor with a deeper spicy beef soup..i would love to try this!!
Bun Bo Hue is my favorite noodle soup. I'm from Vietnam and I don't care much for Pho.
I’m Cambodian and I love all Vietnamese soups. Pho, Pho Ga, Bun bo Hue, Bun Oc, Sweet and sour fish soup. I don’t care give me all of it!!!! 😛😛
BUN BO HUE my favorite soup ever made
These are so great!!! Thanks and I'm looking forward to more!
Nhìn thấy bạn nấu ngon quá. Thấy đói bụng rồi tôi có thê ăn một lần hai tô
Pho = beginner level
Bun bo hue = intermediate
Bun mam = pro (stinky breath but worth it)
This looks amazing - I'm hungry now
Yes brother. Yeeees.
Me gusto mucho todo el proceso de la elaboracion muy bien explicable. Cuando vaya a Nueva York visit are este restaurante
I would argue that Bun Bo Hue is maybe even better than pho and I LOVE pho
Omg!! I need to make this !!
0:27 ahh I cringed when he pronounced it like that
C&c Nguyễn when white people try to say Asian food lol
Guillermo is Colombian
He isn't Vietnamese and Bun Bo Hue is super hard to pronounce to someone who is not native. No one needs to know that you cringed, it is awkward but not that awful for you to make a comment about it.
😂😂😂 me too!! LMAOO
Yah, don't even bother trying to speak if you have an foreign accent. ;-) Nobody notices the chef say "vermiselly".
I was waiting for him to smash the pineapple next 😂
Makes me hungry
That looks and sounds delicious!
Pineapple.... ooOOooooh. Nice trick.
Is there any way to replace Bun Bo Hue Powder? it is hard to buy from here.
You can replace with Bun Bo Hue cube offen sold in Asian Supermarket.
This is good; you guys should efficiently try it
This soup looks so good. I have all the ingredients, even the lemongrass in my Garden.
you have pineapples in your back yard you lyin ass bitch
@@PebusGalacticus LOL
Peter Jensen the dude has a whole ass TH-cam channel dedicated to cooking. Not far fetched to think he grows his own pineapple.
@@PebusGalacticus not everybody lives in scandinavia duhhh
How can I get in the full recipe.
Is there an actual recipe we can follow?
Bun Bo hue is way better then pho! So delicious all that was missing was the pork trotters in there.
Fun fact: Huế is a central region of Vietnam, it used to be the ancient capital or forbidden city.
I'm definitely making this!
He looks like David Chang from the Netflix series "Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner".
Yummy 😋
I think Sergio Ramos really enjoyed that Bun Bo Hue

My other go to vietnamese noodle soup
Omg chow are you back?
What's the idea behind chilling the noodles? "It gives it more of a bouncy effect" lol!
It's like saying "Move over hotdog, here's a hamburger." Pho and Bun Bo Hue aren't in competition. Vietnamese folks have more than one kind of soup, white people. You add Bun Bo Hue to your Viet food list, you don't move Pho over.
What did he add in the soup at 6:17?
Shrimp paste
Ground shrimp paste
When you chill the noodles, it stops them from cooking further. Not give it a bouncy effect lol....
also makes it feel less sticky and starchy.
Needs Thai chilli or satay. Spicier the better lol.
Phoritos Consomme with a nice southeast asian kick
I cannot believe you made that up.
Theres a spot in Houston I go eat this & maaaan def better
mind tell me the place? im visiting Houston next month

this is another kind of bowl, is called Bún riêu

The noodle bowl needs to be a bit bigger for a delicious dish like Bun Bo Hue.
i have the exact same chopsticks at home
Pho
Bun Bo Hue
Don’t ever pin two bad bitches against each other.
I like it then pho second too mee it's just more flavor I guess
😋😋😋❤️
I like the pig blood curds in mine.
It tastes like tofu
Isnt it supposed to come with ham hock and blood cake and banana flowers? I thought this guy said he was authentic? Nah jk he made a great bowl
a seasoning packet????
Need that anti noodle shirt 😂
Dawg he should show you how to pronounce bun bo hue too 💀
His dishes are good to non vietnamese, but it ain't authentic one comparing to those in Houston or San Jose
Authenticity doesn't necessarily mean it tastes better. Authentic pho is Northern but I prefer Southern pho like most foreigners.

Still hoping people done figure this one out. Keep it a secret
The noodle is underdone.
Pang-Ngia Vang .. I know hey, like al dente.
He doesn’t cut the pineapple with the spiral down like how it’s normally cut in Vietnam.
Roob Trulso not really necessary since you won’t be eating the pineapple. It’s really only there to sweeten up the broth and tenderize the meat.
Missing some pork blood cubes, pork trotter and tendon.
Where is the cooked blood?
He didn’t cook the shrimp paste the right way , didn’t use the right shrimp paste either.
Vincent Tr calm down food police
luckypeachgurl I wasn’t in that feeling which needs to be calm down.
