Bun bo Hue

from wiki
Bún bò Huế originated from Huế, the last imperial capital of Vietnam. The term Bún bò Huế is used more by people from northern or southern Vietnam. In central Vietnam, it is simply known as bún bò. The broth is prepared by simmering beef bones and beef shank with lemongrass and then seasoned with fermented shrimp sauce and sugar for taste. Very spicy chilli oil is added later during the cooking process. Bún bò Huế usually includes thin slices of marinated and boiled beef shank, chunks of oxtail, Vietnamese sausage and pig's knuckles or pork. It can also include cubes of congealed pig blood, which has a color between dark brown and maroon, and a texture resembling very firm tofu.
