Hủ tiếu is a southern Vietnamese noodle soup that ranges across regional styles — clear pork-broth with thin rice noodles from Saigon, dry-tossed versions from Cambodia's border, and seafood-loaded versions from the Mekong Delta. The base is always the same: a clear, sweet-savory pork bone broth, a choice of noodles (rice, egg, or glass), and toppings of pork, shrimp, and herbs. It's a more delicate alternative to pho.
