Description
Cao Lầu is a traditional dish from Hoi An, Vietnam, featuring thick rice noodles served with pork, fresh herbs, and a flavorful broth. The dish is known for its unique noodles, which are made with a specific type of water from the region and often have a slight chewiness.
Locally sourced ingredients feature prominently in Hoi An cuisine. From the abundance of rice milled from the paddies surrounding the city to the crisp herbs and greens of the local organic Tra Que gardens. It is the freshness of these ingredients that give Hoi An’s local dishes their unique flavour.
Cao lau is a perfect example of this. Made up of sliced roast pork, squares of crispy pork fat, bean sprouts, herbs and greens. The famous Lau noodles then, of course, complete the dish. These noodles are traditionally made from well water, sourced from a few remaining wells in the Old Town, making cao lau unique to Hoi An. Vegetarian versions of this dish are also readily available.
