Quoc Viet Foods Cot Bun Bo Hue Style Beef Flavored Soup Base, 10 oz.

I used this to make a modified bun bo hue with a few beef bones, a ham bone, glass noodles, thin beef slices, tripe, and sliced pork belly. Garnished with herbs, bean sprouts, lime, and sriracha.I found this compound to have a pronounced shrimpy flavor that I’m not used to with my local pho shops, I don’t mind. It was still a good flavor.The English directions are easy to follow and produce an excellent 2 gallons of soup with bold flavor.

it's favorite like Vietnamese meals

I love it. It’s full of flavor and it’s easy to customize to your taste.

This base made the best pho broth!! It was very soothing and the perfect blend of spice and salt!! It was super easy to put together and excellent value price the price. I will definitely order again!

Don't expect a pure beef flavor. It's mostly shrimp, with a hint of beef, pepper, and ginger. Unusual product, but tasty.

I recently moved down south and the closest authentic Vietnamese restaurant is an hour away. There are a couple more americanized spots but they don't sell Bun Bo Hue, which is by far my favorite dish. So the other night I thought I'd just make my own. Well, there were a number of ingredients that I couldn't get my hands on. So I did a quick search to see if there were any alternative methods which is how I stumbled upon this product. I knew it wasn't going to be the real deal but I figured for the price, it was worth a try. And WOW, I am impressed!! It's great as is but I like my Bun Bo Hue a bit spicier and sweeter so I doctored it up a bit with a few ingredients I had on hand. SO GOOD and HUGE time saver! Give it a try. You won't be disappointed!

Cooking Bun Bo Hue requires Mam Ruoc Hue, a sorta sauce/paste that’s hard to find in America especially if you’re not living in cities that have huge Vietnamese community. And on top of that its smell is not something you’d wanna have stuck on your clothes. Even if you have Mam ruoc Hue, the whole procedure is rather tedious. I find this paste to have a close to authentic taste and very convenient. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes Bun bo Hue and don’t have a lot of time.

This is so so close to the Bun Bo Hue flavor you get when you go to a pho restaurant! There aren't a ton in my area that serve Bun Bo Hue, so this works as a great way to ease my cravings until I can get the real thing!

product is as described.No issues.

Really enjoy it. Adds a lemony taste. No overpowering shrimp paste taste. Need to be used combine to a regular pho broth. Would not recommend on its own

I cooked with my Phở soup. It was really good and tasty

Not much flavor, disappointing a bit.
