Travel to Vietnam and Discover New Taste Vietnam Food - Corn Noodles
Corn noodles? Never heard of them - what are they, where can you get them and how do they taste? The corn noodles are really great!
Corn noodles
Corn noodles are made from corn and is very delicious and sweet-tasting if noodle makers use the corn from the Tuy An and Dong Xuan areas of the central province of Phu Yen.
For a long time, corn noodles were a traditional product of the Tuy An people. Over 90 percent of the population of Tuy An made corn noodles; however, in modern times young people have not followed family traditions. At present, only a few families remain making corn noodles in this area.
Visitors will have a chance to taste corn noodles during festivals or Lunar New Year. Corn noodle soup is quite different from other soups as the soup is cooked with Giang leaf and goby fish which is caught at the O Loan lagoon. If you do not have time to follow the traditional recipe, mixing fish sauce with chili then adding the mixed fish sauce to the broth and the corn noodles will make a satisfactory variation. If you prefer vegetarian cuisine, you can try the following recipe step by step to make your noodle soup pretty good!
The ingredients include: 1 large can tomato sauce, 1 large can cream corn, 1 small onion (diced onions), 1 package large corn noodles (flat), 2 tablespoons oil (just use pan spray), 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper or to taste.
Directions as follows:
In pot add oil and diced onions, cook until onions are done. Then follow the instructions for cooking the noodles, adding the water to the onions. Then add the cream corn and tomato sauce, followed by salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and let it boil for a minute or two, adding the noodles and stirring.
Lower heat and let simmer until liquid is reduced, stirring often. As it thickens you may wish to reduce heat a little more to keep from sticking. Do not let it cook down to dry, as it will thicken more as it cools. You do not want it to runny so it will run over the plate, but thicken somewhat.
If travelling to Phu Yen, you should not miss the opportunity to taste the corn noodle soup at the Chi Thanh market in the An Dan commune. Most of tourists love these noodles, and they think the noodles are so delicious!
Chicken Corn Noodle Soup
(serves 10-12)
For the chicken broth:
Whole chicken (4 1/2 5 pounds)
1 small head garlic, cut in half crosswise
2 carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
2 ribs celery, cut into chunks
1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
2 teaspoons Kosher salt
Few sprigs of sage
Few sprigs of thyme
Water to cover (about 8 cups)
For the soup:
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 large carrots, peeled and diced (about 1 cup)
4 ribs celery, diced (about 1 cup)
1 large onion, diced (about 1 cup)
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning
4 ears corn, steamed and cut off the cob
1 pound egg noodles
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Start by preparing the chicken broth and cooking the chicken. Place the chicken in a large heavy bottomed pot or dutch oven. Add the garlic, carrots, celery, black peppercorns, Kosher salt, sage, and thyme. Add enough water to just cover the chicken and vegetables. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce to medium heat and simmer for about 1 1/2 hours.
Carefully remove the chicken from the pot and transfer to a large cutting board.Once the chicken is cool enough to handle, remove the chicken from the bones and shred with two forks. Meanwhile, strain the remaining vegetables and herbs from the chicken broth, and set the broth aside.
To prepare the soup, heat the olive oil in a large soup kettle or dutch oven over medium-low heat. Add the carrots, celery, onion, and garlic. Cook the vegetables in the olive oil, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes, until tender.
Add the reserved chicken broth to the vegetables. Stir in the poultry seasoning.Bring to a boil. Stir in the shredded chicken, corn, and egg noodles. Continue to cook, stirring occasionaly, until the noodles are soft about 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt and black pepper, and serve immediately.
Note I like my soup to be thick and not have too much broth. You could add additional chicken broth or water to the soup after adding the chicken, corn, and noodles, if you like more broth in your soup. Season with the salt and pepper after adding the additional liquid.
