A traditional dish only found within Hoi An is their Cao Lâu, or simply put, Pork Noodles.
The noodles in itself is something you don’t see often, the noodles are made from the lye ash grown outside the town & made with water from an ancient well. The consistency & look is a combination of kway teow & soba. White clear noodles with a chewy bite, but yet it soaks up the sauces very well.
Above the noodles lies local greens such as mint, bean sprouts, basil, lettuce, Vietnamese fish leaf, xa xiu (aka char siew) & the best part, pork crackling.
Stir it all together with leftover zhup from the xa xiu & you’ve yourself an extremely flavorful dish. •
