(What it is.)

Today, I would like to share with you some information about a popular food made in my country. It is Bún, Vietnamese for the rice noodle which bears a striking resemblance(có sự tương đồng nổi bật) to Singapore’s bee hoon. However, Bún is much bigger than bee hoon and it’s also more tender.

(What it is used for.)

Bún is a main ingredient(nguyên liệu) in many Vietnamese dishes, from Bún Bò Huế (Hue beef rice noodles) to spring rolls. It would be a huge mistake if someone went to Vietnam without trying at least one dish that had Bún inside. It makes my mouth water(làm bạn thèm chảy nước) just to think about the savory(ngon) Bún Bò Huế that I had right in the city of Huế, which is the origin of this dish.

(How it is made/produced.)

Normally, Bún is mass produced because it is comprised(bao gồm) of many different stages which require a heavy amount of force. Firstly, rice will be put in a massive bucket of water and it chills there for two days. When it is tender (mềm) enough, it will be ground into powder. In the following step, the powder will be put in a machine as it produces the noodles that we know.

During this stage, the noodles are heated inside the machine so that they are safe for consumption. As soon as they are taken out of the machine, they will be soaked (nhúng vào) in cool water. At this stage, the noodles are ready for consumption(sự tiêu thụ)

(And explain why your country produces this thing.)

Vietnam produces this special food because it was simple to make in the past and the ingredients could be easily found. Bún is made of only one ingredient – it is rice.
