MÌ QUẢNG - TURMERIC CENTRAL NOODLES
We’ll try a Central Vietnam favorite called Mì Quảng.
This dish has thick noodles, a broth made from tamarind, turmeric and vegetable stock,baby wasabi leaf, banana flowers, silken tofu, peanuts, carrots, and Vietnamese mint.
It’s a cross between a salad and a noodle dish, so you get the best of both worlds. Dig in but don’t get too filled up yet, we’re just getting started!
---------------------
CƠM TẤM CHAY - BROKEN RICE
The vegan version of Com Tam consists of tasty slices of soy sausages marinated in a special vegan sauce on a bed of steamy broken rice toppen with deep fried shallots and spring onions.
This dish is a staple on on many Vietnamese tables, it’ll be a pity to give it a miss!
---------------------
GỎI CUỐN CHAY - FRESH SPRING ROLLS
We’ll finish off the first part of the food adventure with something light and fresh.
Summer rolls are a medley of steamed tapioca, fried sweet potatoes, rice vermicelli, Thái basil, wood ear mushroom, lettuce and cucumber - simple, easy-to-eat but insanely delicious!
