Viet Crab Udon (Banh Canh Cua) ($15.95)
What is banh canh cua?
Banh canh cua (which translates to crab noodle soup) is a noodle soup made with a thick, tapioca broth served with banh canh (tapioca noodles) and topped with pork, shrimp, and crab. The broth has a bright, orange color with a thick, sticky texture. The broth texture almost matches the texture of the tapioca noodles which are really chewy. Traditional toppings for banh canh cua are pork, shrimp, crab, and minced green onions. But like every Vietnamese dish, there are variations depending on the recipe you’re using. Other toppings we are using are blood cake, quail eggs, fried soft shell crab.

What is Bo Ne?
Bò né (which translates from Vietnamese to “dodging beef”) is often served for breakfast, but is delicious any time of day: The meal consists of sizzled beef (bò) and fried eggs. Bò né is generally served alongside a salad plate, and offered on roadsides throughout Vietnam, and in Vietnamese restaurants all over the globe. You can partake in each component individually, or fill your baguette to make a sandwich, or figure out a third way that works best for you; there are as many routes to eat bò né as there are diners, and each of them is flawless.
