Nam Vang Noodle Soup (Hủ tiếu Nam Vang)

Hủ tiếu Nam Vang is a popular Vietnamese street food with Cambodian-Chinese roots. The dish is named after the Cambodian capital Phnom Penh (Nam Vang), and the recipe is tweaked to adapt to Vietnamese flavors. The noodle soup should have a clear and rich broth made from pork bones, pork, and dried squid and shrimp.

The noodles can be transparent rice noodles, chewy tapioca noodles, or thin Chinese egg noodles. Toppings include a combination of sliced pork liver, cooked pork meat, sautéed ground pork, quail eggs, fried shallots, garlic, and poached shrimp.

The dish is typically served with an assortment of garnishes on the side – Chinese chives, Chinese celery, green onions, cilantro, and lettuce.
