Bun Bo Hue (Bún Bò Huế)
A spicy, lemongrass-scented beef and pork noodle soup from Central Vietnam with thick round rice noodles.
Why It Works
Fermented shrimp paste (mam ruoc) provides a funky depth that fish sauce alone cannot achieve; annatto oil adds a vibrant red color and subtle earthy flavor.
