Only finely milled rice is used to make noodles, mixed with additives for soft and chewy noodles, and then this mixture will be overlaid and cut into thin strips (2mm each). On top of the noodle bowl is shrimp, chicken and a little pork bone broth while under layers of noodle are some types of fresh vegetables. And finally, chopped green onion, red peppers and mints and crushed roasted peanuts are added.
Unlike most normal noodle soups, whose broth covers almost completely the noodles, Quang noodles have only enough broth to barely cover all the noodles in each bowl. It is barely enough to slurp during the meal. Eat your bowl of Quang noodles as fast as possible, otherwise the noodles will generally quickly soak up the broth. Though some regional and family recipes will use chicken and even duck to cook the broth, generally, Quang noodles are pork and dried shrimp broth based. The richness and the lack of the broth together with the crushed peanut toppings on the noodles are what make Quang noodle soups outstanding.
In that pot above, you can find the mystery of Quang noodles. This is Quang noodle sauce or nuoc sot mi Quang in Vietnamese, which makes the stock a smidgen spicy and slightly sweet. Rice, meat and vegetables are this dish’s main ingredients. After soaking rice in water, they will ground it to a fine powder and make it into lovely smooth white noodles. Water morning-glory, young banana flowers, cress and herbs are accompanying vegetables. Centre Vietnam tours
