Bun Rieu

There are many soup dishes in Vietnamese cuisine and my favorite is Bun Rieu. The recipe is simple but the preparation takes time. My aunt has a simpler recipe that uses less ingredients What I end up doing most of the time is to use the crab meat mixture in an omelet to get the main taste of the dish. I would eat the omelet in strips with noodle or rice and I even use it as a sandwich filling.

I made some this weekend for my super-breakfast sandwich. Eggs, crab mixture, scallions. Whole wheat pita bread (bag of 6 for 1$ at Marché Lobo), Kewpie mayonnaise and a slice of cheese.
