Pho Cuon

pho-cuon.jpg  Finding the translation for Pho Cuon has been a top priority the last few days. I have the basics down:Pho- soup with rice noodlesPho Bo- soup with beefPho ga- soup with chickenPho Ca- Soup with FishPho Cuon- ?????Three Vietnamese dictionaries had no mention of this word, yet the area around my hotel was filled with Pho Cuon. Finally I googled the term and found this definition:Unlike the traditional noodle soup, which requires a large pot of broth to be poured over a bowl of rice noodles and sliced chicken or beef, pho cuon is made of banh pho – a thin sheet of rice paper – some beef and a handful of fresh herbs.To cook up a delicious meal of pho cuon, thinly sliced beef is stir-fried in a hot pan. The meat is then put onto a bed of herbs and rolled up in the rice paper sheet.Soup in a rice paper roll. Sounds good to me, I am ready to try it.

    I believe cuon is a category of foods where stuff is rolled, such as goi cuon, banh cuon, nem nuong cuon, etc.
