Looking through the refrigerator, there was a pig's trotter my sister sent me the day before, cleaned and cut into pieces. Suddenly remembered that when I went to Quang Ninh, I brought a bag of Binh Lieu vermicelli that I had not touched. I heard that in many places in the countryside in the North, vermicelli is a specialty such as in Quang Ninh, Thai Binh , Hai Duong, Nam Dinh... so I made vermicelli with ham to eat as a "meal" to see how it was.
Warm your stomach with a bowl of vermicelli with ham on a rainy summer afternoon
The big jar of broth for the ham is still in the fridge. Pour out about a bowl, sort out the trotters and the meat slices, pour into the pot and place on the stove to turn on the heat. This ham has only been boiled once, so add a little more water to soften it. When it boils, keep the heat low, occasionally skimming off the foam. Don’t let the heat get too high or the water will become cloudy and look… disgusting!
About 5-7 minutes, when the ham is ready to soften, start seasoning, a little salt, a little fish sauce... Usually when cooking soup, pepper is added last. Let the pot boil gently. Prepare some chopped onion and cilantro and fish sauce with chili. Take out the cellophane noodles and put them in a bowl, as much or as little as you like, pour in cold water and then pour out the water. The vermicelli noodles will gradually expand and shine, just waiting for the ham broth to pour into the bowl. Now it's time to add a little pepper to the pot.
When the meat is tender, especially the pork skin, it should be just moist and moist, scoop the meat and trotters first, then scoop the water from the pot into the bowl, otherwise sometimes the meat pieces will slip into the bowl and splash hot water on your hands.
Carrying a small tray with a bowl of vermicelli, green onion, coriander, and chili fish sauce on the table. Outside, the rain gradually became smaller, the bowl of vermicelli with ham was warm and cozy with each bite. The ham was fatty and crunchy, the vermicelli was just chewy and soft enough. That little bit of fun, making my own favorite dish, my cravings, was also a small joy of the day, after working hard on the computer.
