The Vietnamese version of wonton noodles is mì hoành thánh. The noodles can be either thin or wide and are commonly used in súp mì and mì khô.

Types

Mì or noodle soup can be served with a pork-based broth with the noodles and other ingredients together or with the soup served separately.

Condiments may include soy sauce, sa tế, pickled jalapenos, and red or white vinegar.
