Bún Bò Huế (Spicy Beef Noodle Soup)

No, I didn't make it--way too much work. Anyway, once in a while, I have a craving for this soup. It is not as popular--here in the US-- as pho (beef noodle soup) but equally as good. Originated from Hue city (Central Vienam), it spred throughout Vietnam like a plague. Like pho, it comes with varieties of toppings. If you want to try this noodle soup for the first time, choose your toppings wisely--some are a little exotic for some of you. For me, I only like it with thin sliced beef.
