The dishes are more fantastic if you drink some Vietnamese wine like Đế wine, Chuối wine. Some restaurant usually grilling the ray in front of the door to attract the customers, it is the reason this dish belongs to the Vietnamese Street Food.

Mixed Food in Hanoi Capital (Các món trộn Hà Nội)

 

What I like most about noodles is the versatility of this Vietnamese Street Food. You can cook fried noodles, stew them or even cook them in soup. Recently, I had with me a couple of slices of pork loin and some French beans and I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to try out something new again. Hence, Pork Chop Noodle Soup (Mì Sườn Heo) was created. In Melaka, there is this famous Taiwanese Pork Chop Noodles but that is different from what I have cooked here. Whereas the Taiwanese Pork Chop Noodles uses soya noodles.

This Vietnamese Street Food is pretty due to the use of French beans and carrots for the contrast in color. This Vietnamese Street Food is also healthy as it contains carbohydrate, protein, fat and fiber. The French beans and carrots lend a crunchy bite to the otherwise springy noodles whilst the aromatic pork chop (which is cut into strips) becomes the highlight as far as the taste is concerned. Give this dish a try. You can use all kinds of noodles really. I would suggest soya noodles, instant dried noodles and even soba for this dish.

Using the blunt side of a knife / mallet, beat the pork loin slices till they are about 5mm thin. Marinade for 2 hours. Heat oil on high fire and fry pork loin slices till golden brown. Remove and set aside. Cut into strips.If using dried / instant noodles, blanch the noodles in boiling water till soft, rinse with ice cold water and plunge it back into boiling water just to reheat it quickly. Then drain and set noodles aside. Here is the important way to create this amazing Vietnamese Street Food.
 

 

Heat up 3 tablespoons of oil (you can use the oil previously used to fry pork loin if it is not too dark or dirty) in wok and fry shallots till golden brown. Remove fried shallots. Add garlic and fry till aromatic. Before garlic turns brown, add French beans and carrots and stir well for a minute. Sprinkle some hot water to just to keep moist. Add seasoning followed by noodles and stir evenly. Adjust seasoning to your preference. If you like the noodles with a little bit more sauce, add more water. Dish up, garnish with fried shallots and serve with pork chop strips.

Shredded Chicken Porridge (Cháo Gà Xé Phay)

Shredded Chicken Porridge (Cháo Gà Xé Phay) is a Vietnamese Street Food which sold by many hawkers, usually by those who also sell Pork Porridge. I understand that in the West, porridge refers more to soft food made by boiling oatmeal or other grains. Here, rice is used instead.
 

 

Anyway, back to our delicious Vietnamese Street Food. When I prepared this batch (which gave me about 5 rice bowl-full), I actually worked harder to get a stronger tasting porridge than usual. On that morning, I bought 3 legs of chicken and got it deboned. I boiled the bones for about 1 hour and used the stock to cook the porridge. I only used meat from 1 leg of chicken and kept the other 2 legs for other use. If you are not keen to spend the extra work boiling chicken stock, you can use plain water instead.
 

 

The usual condiments to this Vietnamese Street Food are ginger, chopped spring onions and fried shallots. Just sprinkle them liberally and add a drop or two of sesame oil and you will get a really nice and homely tasting porridge. By the way, if you prefer to have a smooth consistency, I would suggest that you first soak the rice for 15 minutes and drain before cooking it. Once cooked, and before adding anything else into the porridge, switch off the flame and allow the porridge to cool down for about 15 minutes. Then add some water and boil again whilst stirring. You should get really smooth porridge then.
 

 

Bring chicken stock to boil. Add leg of chicken and allow cooking until just done. Don’t over cook the chicken or the meat will become tough. Remove leg of chicken and set aside to cool. Shred the meat with finger tips.Place rice in pot. Add chicken stock and bring to boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to simmer and stir occasionally until rice grains are cooked (puffed up or broken). Switch off heat and close lid and allow standing for 15 minutes.Meanwhile, fry the shallots till golden brown and set aside the fried shallots.Reheat porridge and add some water whilst stirring. Bring to boil until you get a smooth consistency. Add light soya sauce and salt to taste.Pour onto serving bowls, top up with white pepper powder, sesame oil, some shredded chicken, ginger, spring onions and fried shallots.
 

 

This Vietnamese Street Food is served better when it still hot. Moreover, you can easily find this dish on streets in Vietnam. Its price around $1 - $2. Really cheap, right? Make sure you will not miss this dish when visit my country. Good Luck to your trip.

I suggest you one tip when choosing octopus that you have to choose the fresh and big one and wait until the sellers grill it completely.
