Illustration Made with green beans, famous for their special delicious taste and high nutritional value, produced in An Thai region (Nhon Phuc – An Nhon). The reason it is called “Song Than” is because when making vermicelli, people often make vermicelli into pairs. 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. Bun song lizard can be processed into many different dishes such as: vermicelli served with broths cooked from beef, pork or shrimp, or processed into stir-fried vermicelli. Because it is made from green beans, the vermicelli fiber is tough, when processing, it is not broken. Regardless of the method of preparation, the specialty of vermicelli but lizard still brings an indescribably delicious taste ready to satisfy even the most fastidious diners.

Legend has it that the profession of making rice paper in Luong, Do Luong, Nghe An provinces has been passed down through generations in the village. Up to now, the age of the craft village is more than 300 years. Previously, Vinh Duc craft village was located in Lien Son commune, until 1989, Lien Son commune merged with Do Luong town. In 2005, the People’s Committee of Nghe An province recognized this place as Vinh Duc rice paper production village. The oldest person making rice paper here also does not know when the origin of this craft village was. They only remember that they were handed down by their grandparents and parents how to make the best rice paper. To make a delicious rice cake must go through many stages. The feat from selecting raw materials to processing and manufacturing. Raw materials usually use rice with little plasticity, commonly used rice is Khang Dan 18, plain rice to coat cakes. After soaking the rice for one night, the rice is cleaned and the grit is then ground into a powder, mixed with black sesame. To increase the delicious taste, people add pepper, crushed garlic, mixed with rice flour. This is also the secret to making the unique taste of Do Luong rice paper. The flour mixture, after being mixed well, will be coated with a thin layer on a griddle made of cloth, on a pot of boiling water. When the rice paper is cooked, it is gently spread on the cork grid to cool before drying. When drying the cake, about every 2 hours, the cake will be turned over once to dry evenly. If it is very sunny, you have to watch the cake, turn the cake often because it is too sunny, the cake will be hard and curved, not good looking and difficult to bake. After drying, the rice cakes will be baked on a hot coal stove or fried in oil. Bake so that the cake expands evenly, bringing up the strong aroma of pepper and garlic, the fleshy taste of rice flour, and black sesame. In 2017, Do Luong Banh Da was granted an intellectual property certificate. Currently, Vinh Duc craft village has more than 100 households producing rice paper all year round. Every house is busy, red with fire. The fragrant smoke from the baking spread over a large area. Although the rice paper is small, it has become an unforgettable home taste for many people in Nghe An.

Hue also stores more than 1000 typical dishes of the ancient capital, including the good dishes of the Nguyen kings, from everyday dishes, folk dishes to delicious dishes. Among them can mention 10 most typical basic dishes that when coming to Hue, no one can ignore. Bun Bo Hue Bun Bo Hue is a famous and popular dish of many people. The first dish when coming to Hue must be the beef noodle soup. The dish carries the flavor characteristics of Hue, so this place name is attached to the dish as a proper noun of the dish itself. The main ingredients of the dish are beef, pork leg, and pig blood. Some other ingredients are rare beef, crab cakes. The dish is usually served with herbs, banana flowers, bean sprouts. The broth of beef noodle soup in Hue is often seasoned with a little fish sauce to create its own unique flavor. The broth has a characteristic red color, sweet and rich taste to the last drop. Bread flour The cake is made of tapioca starch filtered, with a filling made of shrimp that have been marinated with spices. The filling can be made with pork or both shrimp and meat. The crust is wrapped with banana leaves. The cake is cooked by steaming or boiling. The cake is served with dipping sauce to add more flavor. The filter cake is both tough and chewy due to the outer layer of cassava flour, and the fatty flavor of shrimp meat with the inner layer. Banh beo Banh beo is usually served in small bowls. Just the size of a bowl of dipping sauce. The main ingredient of banh beo is rice flour. The top is covered with a layer of onion oil and greased. The highlight of this dish is the fish sauce. If you just eat it, you will only have the fat taste of the fat and the aroma of onions. Even the food was pretty bland. But when combined with the dipping sauce made from shrimp broth combined with fish sauce and a few slices of chili, it brightens up the taste of the dish. Nam cake Also a typical Hue traditional cuisine similar to flour cake, banh beo. Banh Nam is made from rice flour, the filling is made of green beans or shrimp, minced meat. Cake served with diluted chili sauce. The cake has a fragrant, fatty taste that seems to melt immediately when placed in the mouth. Because the cake is very fragile, when eating, diners should use a spoon instead of chopsticks. Put the cake on a plate and peel the cake, then pour the dipping sauce on the surface of the cake, then take a spoon to remove the cake from the leaves and eat. Wet cake The crust is made from the main ingredient of rice flour coated in a thin layer. There are wet cakes such as wet cake with grilled meat, wet cake with sour shrimp, etc. The cake is soft, hot, and wrapped with wood ear, minced meat. Top sprinkled with dried onions, served with dipping sauce, herbs. Mussel rice and dishes from mussels For only 10 thousand VND, diners can enjoy a bowl of Hue-style mussel rice. You will be surprised when with only tens of thousands of dollars, you can get a rice bowl full of mussels. This is the type of rice mixed with ingredients including: white rice, fried mussels, tofu, fried onions, herbs… Season with a little fish sauce, fish sauce to make the rice more fragrant and then mix well. The sticky rice is mixed with the salty taste, the spicy taste of spices, the crunchy fat, the sweet taste of mussel juice, the chewy sweetness of mussels creating the unique character of the dish. Hue tea Coming to Hue without enjoying tea is extremely flawed. One of the famous tea shops in Hue is the alley tea on Hung Vuong Street. The shop is located deep in the alley, quiet space, inside there are a few small wooden tables close together. At the counter, there are rows of tall glasses filled with tea of ​​all colors and flavors, neatly arranged. Diners just need to add ice to enjoy. The tea has flavors to choose from such as corn tea, purple potato tea, water drifting tea, green bean tea, é seed tea, bean curd tea, red bean tea, roasted pork filter powder tea,…. In which, roasted pork powder tea is the most unique dish that everyone wants to try. Transparent filter powder wrapped inside is a square piece of roast meat with skin. Tea has both sweet and salty taste, both crispy and greasy. And purple potato tea is the dish that pleases the most diners because of the gentle purple color mixed with greasy, fragrant coconut milk. Vegetarian vermicelli Called a vegetarian dish, vegetarian vermicelli is not inferior to any other savory noodle dish. That must be the sophistication in the culinary culture of Hue people. Still the eye-catching red-yellow color, still the rich sweetness of the broth, but the ingredients are completely free of the presence of animal fat. Ingredients are used entirely from nature, usually vegetables, tubers, fruits and mushrooms, skillfully combined with spices to form a nutritious, safe and unique dish. Mixed duck eggs The restaurant only serves the evening, located on the sidewalk with about 3 plastic tables but crowded with customers to eat and customers to buy and take away. Diners can order a dish of duck eggs or they will be given a whole egg, accompanied by a plate of pickles. Or order mixed eggs, the hostess will perform the “mixing” stage before bringing the finished product to diners. The ingredients of the mixed egg dish include: shelled duck eggs, melons including figs, green mango, Thai chi, laksa leaves …. Combined with clever spices to create a dish that is both strange and familiar. The spicy, crunchy, and strangely sweet flavors create the attractiveness of the dish. The price of the dish is only about 7k / fruit. Salt Coffee If Hanoi has the famous egg coffee, Hue has salt coffee – a specialty of the ancient capital. Talking about salted coffee, people will mistakenly think that coffee has the salty taste of the sea, but that cannot fully describe the flavor that this coffee brings. Salted coffee still has the charming aroma of coffee, the greasy taste of fresh milk, the salty taste of salt, the bitter taste that remains at the end of the coffee. Diners can choose to drink hot or add ice. This is probably also the unique point of salted coffee when it can be enjoyed hot or cold but still retains the same taste without fading.

Note that the floating cake soup must be eaten when it is hot to taste. The crust is soft, the broth and the filling of the prawns are juicy and rich.

Wishing the Chefs success!
