Mi Quang is a flavorful Central Vietnamese noodle dish from Quang Nam province, featuring wide, turmeric-infused yellow noodles, a small amount of rich broth, and a variety of fresh toppings like herbs, peanuts, and crispy rice crackers. Key characteristics include its minimal broth, diverse protein options (chicken, pork, shrimp), and the crunchy, savory rice crackers, making it a light yet satisfying meal best enjoyed with fresh herbs, lime, and chili.
Key Characteristics
- Noodles: Wide, flat, yellow rice noodles, often colored with turmeric, giving them a distinct flavor and color.
- Broth: Unlike other noodle dishes, Mi Quang has very little broth—just a small amount of rich, flavorful, and savory liquid that coats the noodles rather than submerging them.
- Toppings: A generous assortment of ingredients, including various meats (chicken, pork, shrimp, fish, eel), fresh herbs (basil, mint, lettuce, sliced banana flower), roasted peanuts, and crispy grilled rice crackers (banh trang me).
- Flavor Profile: A balance of earthy, savory, spicy, and fresh flavors from the turmeric-infused broth, meats, herbs, peanuts, and lime juice.
