Vietnam is famous for its diverse cuisine and culture and each region has its own seductive signature dishes. As Pho is to Hanoi and beef rice noodle soup is to Hue, Mi Quang (Quang noodles) is very popular in Quang Nam province and Da Nang city.

The recipe for this noodle dish is simple. Mi Quang calls for broad rice noodles that are dense and chewy, which are often cooked just long enough to turn tender. The most perfect topping for the dish is the combination of fresh lettuce, watercress, young banana flowers and some roasted peanuts. The dish can be served with pork, chicken, shrimp, fish or frog meat. The broth can have many variations, depending on each person’s taste and the season also.

The unique regional flavour and the fresh ingredients keep everyone pulling up a plastic stool for more. People, especially gourmets, can invariably enjoy its pure Vietnamese flavour and this may also be the reason why every visitor to Da Nang or Quang Nam can never forget to savour a bowl of Quang noodles.
