Quang noodles

As “pho” is to Hanoi and beef rice noodles is to Hue, Quang noodles is very popular in Quang Nam and Danang.

“I make for you, darling, green tea and Quang noodles to express my feelings” (a traditional version)

This dish's ingredients include rice, vegetables and meat. After being soaked in water, the rice is ground to a fine powder and made into attractive smooth white noodles. Accompanying vegetables are water morning-glory, cress, young banana flowers and herbs. Especially, the famous Tra Que savory of Quang Nam Province will give the dish more flavour. You can use pork, chicken, fish, crab or shrimp to make the broth. If chicken is chosen, the meat is separated, seasoned and stir-fried while the bones are stewed. Finish the stock by adding cooked chicken meat.

Arrange the noodle on a bed of vegetables and a cover with enough stock to moisten the noodles. Don’t use as much stock as when making “pho” or beef rice noodles. Serve with crushed dried peanuts, oil from fried onion, chopped spring onion, lemon, chilli, and grilled "banh trang".

There are many Quang noodle restaurants in Quang Nam and Danang. Each area is famous for one certain recipe. For example, Thanh Chiem Village in Dien Ban District, Quang Nam Province is known for shrimp noodle, while chicken noodle is at its best in Tuy Loan, Hoa Vang District, Danang City.
