Traditional bun rieu is very time consuming. Getting bun rieu at the restaurant pretty much guarantees that you will not be getting real crab. This quick version takes the work out of it but still maintains the authentic taste with real crab meat. It's not cheap to make, but the perfect treat- yourself-dinner for a cold night.

I'm a pharmacist and a foodie. I enjoy trying exotic cuisines and then trying to replicate it at home. I try to cook with healthier ingredients so I can eat more while still maintaining my waistline. I live to eat and exercise so I can eat more!
