Today is my last day in the wonderful food city that is Da Nang, Vietnam and I may have saved the best till last. We're heading out for two noodle dishes that all the locals here have told me are must eat dishes in central Vietnam. The first stop is for Mi Quang Mi Quang (Mì Quảng) which is a traditional Vietnamese noodle dish that originated in the Quang Nam province in central Vietnam. Big shout out to ‪@EllisWR‬ for the recommendation!
Second up we're heading down a little back alley for my favourite soup in the world, Bun Bo Hue (or Bun Bo Danang?) This was really clean and delicate but my favourite version actually has to be here:

It is a popular and beloved dish in the country, often considered a specialty of the Quang region. The dish has gained popularity throughout Vietnam and even internationally due to its delicious flavors and unique presentation.
The main components of Mi Quang are noodles, meat, and vegetables, all served in a flavorful and aromatic broth. Here are the key elements of this dish:
Noodles: Mi Quang is characterized by its thick, flat rice noodles, which are typically yellow in color. These noodles give the dish its distinct texture and are an essential element of Mi Quang.
Protein: The protein component of Mi Quang can vary and includes options like shrimp, chicken, pork, or even fish. The meat is usually marinated or seasoned with various herbs and spices, enhancing its flavor.
Broth: Unlike some other Vietnamese noodle dishes like Pho, Mi Quang is not typically served with a large bowl of broth. Instead, it has a small amount of flavorful broth at the bottom of the bowl, just enough to moisten the noodles and add some richness to the dish.
Vegetables and Herbs: Mi Quang is accompanied by a variety of fresh herbs and vegetables, adding both texture and freshness to the dish. Common ingredients include lettuce, bean sprouts, banana blossoms, water spinach, mint, coriander, and peanuts. These toppings are usually placed on top of the noodles and meat.
Special Sauce: Mi Quang is served with a special sauce made from a blend of fish sauce, shallots, garlic, chili, sugar, and other seasonings. This sauce is poured over the dish to enhance its flavors.
Crackers: Another unique aspect of Mi Quang is the addition of crispy rice crackers, which are typically served alongside the dish or crushed over the top. These crackers add a satisfying crunch and texture to the overall eating experience.
Mi Quang is often served with a side of fresh lime or lemon wedges, allowing diners to adjust the acidity level to their taste preference.
As with many traditional dishes, there can be regional variations in the preparation and ingredients used, but the essence of Mi Quang remains consistent-a flavourful, satisfying noodle dish that showcases the richness of Vietnamese cuisine.
Bún Bò Huế is another popular Vietnamese noodle soup, hailing from the central Vietnamese city of Huế. It is a flavorful and spicy dish that has gained popularity not only in Vietnam but also around the world due to its unique and delicious taste.
