Banh Canh is thick Vietnamese Noodle that look like Japanese udon which has the thickness of a chopstick, more or less. The Vietnamese word “banh” refers to items such as noodles or cakes that are made from flour, and “canh” means soup.

Banh canh is typically made with rice or tapioca flour (or a mixture of both) instead of wheat flour. The thickness of the noodle is roughly similar.
