The Rustic Flavors of a Legendary Bowl of Mi Quang

While Cao Lau represents the culinary refinement of the Ancient Town, Mi Quang is the true national soul of the entire Quang Nam region. A complete bowl of Mi Quang is a harmonious blend of hand-coated rice noodles, a rich shrimp and pork broth seasoned with shallots and aromatic peanut oil, crushed roasted peanuts, and crispy grilled sesame rice crackers.

The soul that sets Hoi An Mi Quang apart is the vibrant plate of fresh herbs sourced directly from the famous Tra Que herb gardens, featuring spicy mustard greens, fragrant mint, crisp banana blossoms, and fresh cilantro that elevate the entire dining experience.

How to Eat Mi Quang Like a Local

When your bowl is presented, don’t eat it like a soup noodle. First, crumble a generous portion of the crispy toasted sesame rice cracker directly over the bowl. Next, add a spoonful of local simmered green chili jam, squeeze a wedge of fresh lime, and toss all ingredients thoroughly from the bottom up so the intense, shallow broth coats every noodle strand and crisp vegetable.
