PhoとHu Tieuの違いアゲイン。

前書いたエントリ。

このときはそれで納得した気になってたけど、やっぱりよくわからない。

で、母の日の今日、もちろん夕飯は外食。と言ってもベトナム麺で。

Hủ Tiếu Sa Tế Bò

自分はHu Tieuにして、やっぱり沸き起こる疑問。phoとの違いは?

そしたらこんなんが引っかかった。

What is the difference between Hủ Tiếu vs Phở?

The one thing Hủ Tiếu and Phở have in common are noodles, meats, and garnishes. These can all be the same if you choose. However, these two Vietnamese soups use widely different techniques to create their broth.

Phở broth is very simple on its own. Its flavor comes from adding meats, bones, and aromatics to the broth. These ingredients are then poached by the hot soup, releasing their delicious aromas and flavors.

On the other hand, Hủ Tiếu broth has its own flavor. The broth starts with sautéing the aromatics (like alliums, chilies, warm spices) along with meats. Water is slowly added, bring everything to a harmonious simmer.

The one big exception to note is Vietnamese pork broths. These are almost always Hủ Tiếu broths.

これによれば違いは麺ではなくて、スープの作り方らしい。phoが基本煮込み汁なのに対し、hu tieuは香料を炒めて、そこに加水していく方法、とある。

まあそれで同味に違いが出るのかはわからないけれど&見た目じゃわからないけど、違いがわかった。今日のは特にSa Teブロスなんで、これはphoではないわな。
