It’s kind of neat – this is the first Meet The Manufacturer I’ve done with only rice noodle varieties! Today, it’s Phnom Penh style. Phnom Penh is the biggest city in Cambodia and this variety purports to take the flavors of the place and bring them to the rice noodle. Let’s give it a try!

Finished (click to enlarge). Added Salad Cosmo mung bean sprouts, Dodo fish ball, shrimp, fried garlic and coriander. The vermicelli hydrated very well and was enjoyable in it’s gauge and texture. As usual, I made a couple cross cuts with a pair of kitchen scissors to make the vermicelli more manageable. The broth was quite nice; very oily and a kind of light heat to it. The flavor also has a sweet and kind of eggy taste which was quite good. 3.75 out of 5.0 stars. EAN bar code 8851876001453.
