In Vietnamese supermarkets or online, you can buy stock cubes for making specific Vietnamese noodle soups, like the famous chicken or beef pho, the southern hu tiê ́u nam vang, street-food favourite wonton noodle soup and midnight hawker’s miê ́n gà. Add to boiling water with a few additions like charred onion, ginger and star anise and you will have a quick and easy time creating some really delicious soups.


This recipe is an extract from Quick & Easy Vietnamese by Uyen Luu
