About Bun ca soup

Bún cá is a traditional Vietnamese noodle soup celebrated for its light and flavorful profile. This dish typically features soft rice vermicelli noodles served in a fragrant broth made from simmered fish bones, tomatoes, and herbs. It is topped with chunks of fried or grilled fish, often catfish, and complemented with fresh greens like dill, cilantro, and scallions. Optional garnishes include lime, chili, and pickled vegetables to enhance its tangy and spicy notes. From a nutritional standpoint, bún cá is a wholesome choice, offering lean protein from the fish and essential nutrients from the vegetables and herbs. The fish is often rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart health. However, fried fish may increase the calorie and fat content slightly, depending on preparation. With its balanced mix of protein, vitamins, and carbohydrates, bún cá can be a light yet satisfying meal rooted in the versatile flavors of Vietnamese cuisine.
