2. Better to Know Steamed Noodle soup

At a large tourist area with an attractive cuisine like Ha Tien town, perhaps visitors will be extremely surprised to know that the dish that makes tourists remember forever is not a luxurious dish… It’s a street food called steamed noodle soup.

Steamed noodle soup is one of the specialties of Ha Tien tourism with a very special taste. This dish originates from Cambodia. Although not originating from the land of Ha Tien, for the indigenous people here, steamed noodle soup is a very familiar and indispensable specialty dish in daily meals.

Ha Tien steamed noodle soup has many differences from My Tho noodle soup or Sa Dec dry noodle soup. Ha Tien steamed noodles are chewy and soft when steamed in a water bath. Because of that difference, steamed noodle soup is still loved by many tourists looking for food even if it’s just rustic street food.

3. Steamed Noodle soup in Kien Giang

Steamed noodles must be eaten hot to be delicious, so when customers come and order steamed noodles, the seller begins to steam the noodles. After steaming, the noodles are put on a plate, pre-fried spring rolls, chopped pork, and mixed skin are added on top. Comes with a plate of steamed noodles is 1 cup of sweet and sour fish sauce for visitors to eat if they find it pale.

In addition to the basic recipe, some steamed noodle shops in Ha Tien also create unique variations of steamed noodles such as steamed vermicelli with grilled meat, steamed vermicelli with silkworm buns, called “silk noodle soup” “… But no matter how it is processed, this is still a steamed noodle dish – a street specialty in Ha Tien.

4. How to Make Steamed Noodle soup

First, fresh noodles will be steamed in a water bath. In order for the noodles to be delicious, tough and not friable, you should not steam the noodles all at once, but divide them into steaming several times, a little each time. The secret to steamed noodles becoming more delicious and greasy is to brush a layer of thick coconut milk on the noodles. Steaming time for noodles to cook is 5-10 minutes/time.

After you have finished steaming the noodles, the rest of your work is just to make the sound mix, wrap and fry the spring rolls, boil lean pork and chop the fibers. In Ha Tien, local people do not use cassava to wrap spring rolls but instead are chopped tall potatoes. In Ha Tien spring rolls, there are also chopped pork, sweet radish, pepper and green onions… When fried, spring rolls will have a beautiful golden color, crispy and melt in the mouth.

5. Pro tips:

Here are our tips for easing your mind (and stomach) around food-handling environments that you may not be used to.

Make sure the food is freshly cooked. If you’re eating hot street food, it’s always safest (not to mention more delicious) to eat food you can see being cooked to order.

Look for lines and busy stalls. Busy street food stalls are an indicator of popularity, and their high turnover rate means the food is never sitting out for hours and developing dreaded bacteria. Yes, long lines can be discouraging when you’re hungry after a full day of exploring, but it’s not worth the risk of grabbing precooked food from the empty spot next door.

Eat when the locals are eating. The last and most important element here is when to eat. You’re likely already on a weird eating schedule while you’re traveling, but it’s important to try and adjust to the eating times of where you are. A bowl of pho might be lunch for Americans, but it’s breakfast for the Vietnamese. This ensures that you’re eating freshly cooked food and that you can find the best and most popular places to eat.

If you can’t drink the water, then you can’t eat the salad. Most people get so hung up on not drinking the water or skipping ice in drinks that they don’t think about all of the other ways in which water is used in food service. Fruits and vegetables tend to be washed with tap water in most places, rather than the filtered water that locals drink—or sometimes it’s not washed at all. If you’re really craving some produce, try fruits you can peel or cooked veggies.

Trust your gut. If you’re unsure about the food or the way that it’s being prepared, then keep moving. Eating street food all over the world doesn’t make you an expert. Every stall and every country are different, and sometimes the rules can be harder to follow. When something doesn’t look, smell, or feel right, don’t eat it! Trust your judgment. Chances are that there’s another spot close by that’s making something more delicious.
