Bánh hỏi

Bánh hỏi (Vietnamese: [ɓajŋ˧˥ hɔːj˧˩; ɓan˧˥ hɔːj˧˩˧]) is a Vietnamese dish consisting of rice vermicelli woven into intricate bundles and often topped with chopped scallions or garlic chives sauteed in oil, served with a complementary meat dish. The strings of noodles are usually only as thin as a toothpick; the texture is firm enough so the noodles do not fall apart but is not at all sticky to keep the dish light.
