Vietnamese Noodle Dishes - 3 Types of Vietnamese Noodles You Do Not Know About, Yet

How many types of Vietnamese noodle dishes are there? If you are familiar with Vietnamese food, you probably have sampled a variety of Vietnamese noodle dishes. In fact after you review this article, you will discover three types of Vietnamese noodle dishes that you do not know about yet...

Noodles are the secondary Vietnamese staple next to rice of course. There are many varieties of noodles. Some are made of rice flour while others are made of egg and all-purpose flour. The noodles come in different sizes, shapes, and textures. In general, Vietnamese use rice noodles such as bun, pho, and mien. Bun noodles are thin and round strands like threads and are known as rice sticks or vermicelli. Pho noodles are flat and wide. Mien noodles are thin and round similar to bun but are clear or transparent instead of milky in color. Mien noodles are known as glass noodles. Egg noodles are yellow and known as mi. Each noodle has its own flavor and texture. Noodles are a great substitute for rice when one needs a change of pace. One great perk with rice noodles is that they are gluten free.

Vegetarian Dishes

Vietnamese noodle dishes are prepared in two different ways: wet or dry. I prefer my Vietnamese noodle dishes prepared in soups. Soups are commonly prepared in large quantities. The primary reason I prepare large quantities is because it takes the same amount of time to prepare enough soup either for a small family of four or a large family of twelve. The other reason is a force of habit. I grew up with a large family of nine including my parents and six siblings. Everything is prepared in bulk. Therefore, I find it worthwhile and fun to prepare large quantities for a feast with friends or a large family gathering.

The dry version of Vietnamese noodle dishes are stir-fry. The noodles are often stir-fried with vegetables and/or your favorite meat. They can be cooked in a crunchy or soft form. Either way will taste great depending on your mood at eating time. Thinking of it makes my mouth water, yummy!
