Legend has it that the kings of the Nguyen Dynasty often summoned An Thai vermicelli workers to Hue to make vermicelli, but were unsuccessful because there was no water in the Kon River, so it was also called vermicelli “river of gods”. What makes vermicelli noodles different from other popular vermicelli noodles is that the noodles are made from mung bean flour instead of rice or wheat flour. That is why this specialty noodle dish of Binh Dinh has a unique delicious taste and high nutritional value. However, it takes up to 5kg of green beans to produce 1kg of vermicelli, but the price on the market is a bit high. Bun Song Than not only requires elaborate processing, but also requires meticulousness and precision when drying the noodles. The place to dry the vermicelli must be a sandy beach along the Con River and must be under the sun and light wind. The ideal time to make vermicelli is from March to June. And only when it is dried in the sun of the Con River, will the bright white noodles, chewy and delicious, be born. Illustration.
