Mi Quang (Vietnamese Turmeric Noodles)

Post on : 30 July, 2025

Mi Quang is a traditional noodle dish from Central Vietnam, made with turmeric-infused rice noodles, topped with shrimp, pork, herbs, and crunchy rice crackers. It’s served with a small amount of broth and bursting with flavor.

Mi Quang is a vibrant and flavorful noodle dish that originates from Quang Nam province in Central Vietnam. The dish features wide, yellow rice noodles tinted with turmeric, topped with a variety of proteins such as shrimp, sliced pork, chicken, or even quail eggs.

Unlike most Vietnamese noodle soups, Mi Quang is served with just a small ladle of savory broth, enough to moisten the noodles without drowning them. It's garnished with fresh herbs, crushed peanuts, sliced banana blossoms, and crispy sesame rice crackers. A squeeze of lime and a touch of chili bring everything to life.

Mi Quang is more than just a dish — it's a celebration of local ingredients and bold Central Vietnamese flavor.
