Bun Cha - Vietnamese Grilled Meat Noodle
Bun Cha is traditional Hanoi cuisine, but its popularity has spread throughout the country. When visiting Hanoi, even Vietnamese from other provinces will seek out and try the dish. It is also highly recommended for tourists visiting Vietnam's capital city.
Bun Cha is a dish made up of warm broth, grilled minced pork, and Vietnamese noodles. When the food arrives, there will be a plate of rice noodles, a small basket of fresh herbs, and a bowl of warm broth with grilled minced pork. There are many different dishes made from Vietnamese noodles, but this one is unique and has a distinct flavor that is primarily derived from broth and pork.
Bun Cha is eaten by dipping a small number of rice noodles into the broth and eating them with grilled pork. Do not add all of the noodles at once, as this may cause the broth to cool quickly. You can also request more grilled pork if you like it. The broth has a salty-sweet flavor from baking the pork bones, and the grilled pork is delicious. Bun Cha can be found on every street corner in Hanoi, including food stalls and restaurants.
