When someone mentions Vietnamese cuisine, Hanoians are always proud of fish noodles combined with vegetables. That's also my entry today in @ecotrain's contest : "Cooking on A Budget Competition! Week 2: Noodles and Pasta! "
If you are tired of meat and want to eat light food, I recommend you to try this dish, its broth is a bit sweet and slightly sour that makes you want to eat it non-stop. We always eat raw vegetables with fried fish noodles so this dish is not only delicious but also good for health. The broth for fish noodle is made from simmering fish bones or fish heads. After the simmering stage, tomatoes are added to make color and sweetness to the dish. Fish noodles are sold everywhere in northern Vietnam, from luxury restaurants to small eateries or sidewalks. The type of fish often used to make this dish is tilapia because they are naturally sweet and have little bones, suitable for both children and the elderly. We usually eat fish rice noodles for breakfast or lunch, sometimes we also eat it for dinner. This dish is the perfect substitute for meat and rice. This dish has many different versions, some places use mackerel or snakehead fish, use vegetable water dropwort, banana flower or colocasia gigantea. This is my own recipe, you can cook it my way!! Just a tablespoon of fish noodles can warm our body in cold winter.
