Chicken rice

Among the many must-try dishes at Hoi An, chicken rice (com ga) has gained a huge fan base. This dish is so popular that most Hoi An brochures spend a whole section dedicated to it. Hoi A chicken rice has a yellowish yellow color partly due to the fact that rice is cooked with quality chicken broth and also due to the green of fresh, raw vegetables harvested in Tra Que Village used in this dish.

The quality of rice is also high. After the seasoning, people cook rice with chicken broth and pandan leaves on a wood stove to make sure it reaches a special fragrance and balanced structure. In terms of chicken cooking, the meat should be soft and fresh. After boiling, the chicken is ripped and then seasoned with onion, fried onion, salt, and pepper to ensure the spices are absorbed into the meat. Finally, the rice is stacked on the plate, served with a generous amount of chicken meat on top, and stuffed with onion, sour papaya, fresh herbs, soy sauce, and sauce. In addition, some places will also serve the dish along with a bowl of hot chicken soup.good restaurants near me

Mi quang

Also a type of rice vermicelli such as pho and hu tieu, and similar in structure, Quang noodle (mi quang) possesses a completely different shade and flavor. As the name implies, this noodle is a specialty of Quang Nam province. And like the other dishes that came from Central Vietnam, it was a very sophisticated dish, full of flavors.



To soften, the rice is soaked in cold water and then ground into a fine powder. Then, a small amount of alum powder is mixed to make the noodles softer. After boiling, the noodles are carefully picked and cooled on a grid. Also, a thin layer of vegetable oil spreads to the noodles to prevent them from sticking to one another. A bowl of mi quang is made up of quang noodles, shrimp, pork, chicken, roasted nuts, egg yolk, fresh herbs, and just a few soups.

Cao Lau Hoi An

Cao lau

It is one of the Vietnamese delicacies associated only with the Ancient City of Hoi An. The essence of this dish is found in the noodles that are well-processed. First, the rice is soaked in ash water made from wood collected at Cu Lao Cham. Then the rice is carefully filtered and ground into powder. For this step, water must be obtained from the old Ba Le Well of the Cham people. This is why this dish cannot be prepared anywhere else. After being formed, the noodles were steamed several times and then placed in a drying phase. Thanks to such a careful process, servers can ensure that noodles remain of their best quality even if left overnight.
