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 customary with Vietnamese food, you probably have sampled a range of Vietnamese noodle dishes. In fact after you enumerate this article, you will study 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 distinct 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 distinct ways: wet or dry. I prefer my Vietnamese noodle dishes prepared in soups. Soups are ordinarily prepared in large quantities. The customary calculate I put in order large quantities is because it takes the same number of time to put in order sufficient soup whether for a small family of four or a large family of twelve. The other calculate is a force of habit. I grew up with a large family of nine together with my parents and six siblings. Everything is prepared in bulk. Therefore, I find it worthwhile and fun to put in order 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. whether way will taste great depending on your mood at eating time. Mental of it makes my mouth water, yummy!
