But for those who do not have a habit of learning more about food, they will find these two dishes quite similar, even very confusing. So my Quang and cao lau, where are they different?

SOUP

First of all, to compare the two dishes, it is necessary to assess how their soup is different, of course, those with soup. Just taste a little broth, you can immediately realize that,fresh soup of my quang  and the smell of peanuts, cao lau is the rich flavor like the items in the tray of Vietnamese people.

Although the amount of water for both of these dishes is quite small, the broth used for my Quang  will be a little higher, but their nature is completely different. A culinary friend of Mytour likened that, my Quang  soup is the broth of ordinary noodles that cooks sharp colors, while the high water level has a bit like the broth but diluted.

PASTA

About noodles, many people can see that the noodles and high-fiber noodles are quite similar and are made from the common ingredients of rice flour, but if fear of MY Quang  is merely made of rice flour, and yellow from The types of boiled water, the high fiber of the stage is much more than that.

If you come to Hoi An, you will see people here who do not call for CAO LAU is noodles, which will be called cao lau cakes, with the length of each thread shorter than my Quang noodles. Not only is it made from rice flour, the Hoi An original cake also has to be soaked with ash, and this ash is forced to burn from the tree in Cu Lao Cham. In addition, high-quality rice-grinding water must be the water of Ba Le well, a well-known well of Hoi An. Seeing that, high-quality fruit is worthy of the noble taste of Hoi An.

MAIN RAW MATERIAL

Because the main ingredient of the cao lau is only packed in one thing, it is pork, although the cooking method is quite elaborate with a combination of many different spices, but in terms of "good eyes", my Quang noodles will win by the variety of materials

Besides pork, my Quang noodles are also "decorated" quite a lot of other ingredients such as chicken, shrimp, eggs, even some variations such as fish, ducks.

Both cao lau  and my Quang noodles are often used with vegetables such as lettuce, price, and onions, both of which are available so "Mytour"will not discuss it, but there is a small ingredient but makes two The dish is completely separate from each other.

It is the rice paper served ,  With my Quang noodles, people often take crispy rice paper (rice cake), black sesame bread, break it and mix or eat with my Quang noodles. But at the cao lau, the rice paper at the tender time will be folded first, and then fried, becoming a kind of cake that Hoi An people call crunchy cake, dark brown and put in to eat with cao lau . .
