Traditional Vietnamese Recipe - Bún Bò Giò Heo (Beef And Pork Knuckle Noodle Soup)

Another great recipe from Vietnam.




The broth of BunBún bò giò heo is made from beef and pork. ‘ Gio heo’ means pig feet or gammon, at least large pieces of pork with enough fat on it. When served this soup a large pork knuckle is added along with slices of beef, pork knuckles, and Vietnamese blood sausage. Topped with onions, fresh chives, and coriander. The soup is rich and spicy with a strong scent of lemongrass but sweeter than other Vietnamese noodle soups. The best versions are found in the Central Parts of Vietnam, particularly in DaNang City. Eaten at all hours of the day in small restaurants or street-side stalls.
