Indulge in the Uniqueness – Cốn Sủi, a Culinary Gem in Sapa
Cốn Sủi originates from the Chinese community but has seamlessly integrated into the culinary identity of Sapa. Cốn Sủi features soft, pho-like noodles bathed in a rich, hearty broth, resembling a cross between pho and banh canh. The dish is topped with crunchy water fern stems or sweet potato, accompanied by sliced pork, beef, half a boiled egg, pepper, and peanuts, creating a distinctive and enticing flavor.
The highlight of Cốn Sủi lies in its savory broth. The broth is simmered from pork marrow bones for approximately five hours, infused with aromatic spices such as cinnamon, star anise, and herbs from the Northwest mountains. A bowl of Cốn Sủi is at its best when the broth strikes the perfect balance – not too sweet, not too bland, delivering a fragrant, warm, and robust pho experience.
Customize your experience by adding fresh herbs, chili slices, hot sauce, or any preferred condiments, then mix it all together before savoring. Additionally, this dish is complemented with pickled small salted cabbage for a delightful sweet and sour contrast, adding another layer of allure to this delectable cuisine.
