Hủ Tiếu

Clear southern Vietnamese noodle soup with hu tieu noodles, pork, and a gentle sweet-savory broth.

Build on pork bone broth with chicken bone broth as foundational stocks. Hu tieu stays pale and clean—a short simmer with garlic and rock sugar, not a new bone extraction.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 L pork bone broth
  • 1 L chicken bone broth
  • 300–400 g hu tieu (rice or tapioca-rice) noodles
  • Pork loin or minced pork, garlic, shallots
  • Rock sugar, fish sauce, white pepper
  • optionalShrimp or quail eggs
  • Bean sprouts, celery leaves, fried garlic

Method

  1. Combine broths; simmer with garlic and shallots 20–30 minutes; skim for clarity.
  2. Season with fish sauce, sugar, and pepper.
  3. Cook noodles separately; blanch bean sprouts.
  4. Portion noodles, hot broth, pork, and garnishes.
