Saigon Secrets : Bánh canh

November 24th, 2007 by Nick Tay

Bánh canh is a thick Vietnamese noodle that can be made from a mixture of purified rice and tapioca powder or wheat flour. The shape of noodle is similar to Japanese udon. In bánh canh soup dishes, the noodles are combined with one of several soup bases, such as:

  • Bánh canh cua - a rich, thick crab soup
  • Bánh canh bá»™t lọc - a more translucent version of the noodle
  • Bánh canh cá - the noodle is made from ground fish, served with a spicy broth
  • Bánh canh Trảng Bàng - bánh canh made in the southeastern Vietnamese town of Trang Bang, served with boiled pork, rice paper and local herbs
  • Bánh canh tôm - a shrimp-flavoured broth that is also mixed with coconut milk
