📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Hủ tiếu is a breakfast noodle dish loved in southern Vietnam, especially Ho Chi Minh City and the Mekong Delta, said to have developed under the influence of Cambodian and Chinese immigrant food cultures. The broth, made from pork bones, dried shrimp, and dried squid, has a delicate sweetness, and both dry (no broth) and soup versions are enjoyed. It's topped generously with bean sprouts, garlic chives, and fried garlic.

🌆 Where it's eaten: At a morning eatery in Ho Chi Minh City, people slurp steaming hủ tiếu before work to start the day.
