Hu Tieu Ca Rice Noodle w/Fish
November 17th, 2005
This instant Vietnamese rice noodle comes with a retort pouch of stewed fish! The soft velvety rice noodles are even extra broad. A good nutritious soup if you also add some vegetables to it.
The saltiness of the broth has the first impression of chicken noodle soup as I can hardly taste the fish flavor initially. As I enjoyed the rice noodles with the well seasoned broth, the mild fish flavor came out. There were chunks of fish that have the texture and flavor of can salmon somewhat. I was startled toward the end when a piece of hot chili pepper got in my mouth. It seems that the spices settled near the bottom.
Suggested Cooking Directions
- Add contents of all packets except large retort pouch (stewed fish) to noodles and add boiling water (~1 cup) to line.
- Cover, waits 3 minutes, then add stewed fish and stir well before serving.

This is the second Vietnamese instand rice noodle bowl that I tried. Again, I was amazed by how close it is to the authentic home-made ones. The flavor is very good and the fish is actual “fresh” - not dehydrated. The flavoring and the fish actually come in a vacuum seal pouch which maks it flavorful. Again, I would definite recommend any one to try this noodle bowl.

I loved this one! Of all the Vifon brand noodles I’ve tried, this one is my favorite. The fish included in the sealed pouch was delicious!! As irony would have it, the best tasting one also has the hightest amount of sodium I’ve ever encountered in packaged noodles…96% daily value!!! If you’re going to have this one, drink plenty of water and don’t drink the broth if you can help it! Although this one isn’t the healthiest of choices, I would recommend it based on flavor. Just be aware of what your eating.
