The unique famous dish from Quang Nam: cassava noodle
(QNO) - Cassava noodle (phở sắn) is a speciality of Que Son (Quang Nam), famous for its unique appearance and ingredients.
Unlike any other type of pho typically found in Vietnam, cassava noodle resembles a woven net and is made entirely from cassava root.
Cassava flour’s stickiness makes it brittle, so locals shape assava noodle into a net for easy removal, keeping it intact and visually appealing.
Making assava noodle involves selecting fresh cassava, double-peeling, drying, grinding, soaking for several days, then cooking and pressing it into noodles.
Cassava noodle can be made into various tasty dishes. The most popular one is cooked with snakehead fish and served with young banana tree stems.
Depending on the location and personal taste, cassava noodle is creatively made into various dishes for both vegetarians and non-vegetarians.
Cassava noodle is not only tasty and adaptable but also has a high fibre content that prolongs feelings of fullness.
Cassava noodle also contains resistant starch, which the body cannot break down for energy, making it less likely to cause weight gain.
