POR KWAN "BUN RIEU" shrimp and spice mixture - the true basis of Vietnamese soup

Vietnamese cuisine is famous for its broths – fragrant, clear, but full of flavor. One outstanding example is Bún Riêu, a sour, delicately seafood-flavored soup with rice noodles, crab or tomato broth and fresh herbs. To make this dish easy to prepare and maintain its authentic flavor, POR KWAN “BUN RIEU” shrimp and spice mix for soup was created – a concentrated helper for the traditional soup base.

What is Bún Riêu and why is it worth trying?

Bún Riêu is one of the most popular soups in northern Vietnam, characterized by:

• with a distinctly sour taste, derived from tamarinds or tomatoes,

• with notes of seafood (mostly crab, shrimp) and fermented spices,

• a unique combination of pasta and protein (often with tofu, crab cakes or even blood jelly),

• and a rich aroma enhanced by fried garlic, onions, and Vietnamese herbs.

This is not a dessert version of pho, but a completely unique world of soup - rich, bright, not for everyone, but for those who appreciate the authentic depth of Asian flavor.
