Top 4 Famous Banh Canh Noodle Dishes In Vietnam

Among the drop-dead delicious dishes from the Mekong Delta, there are four banh canh noodle dishes renowned for their peculiar tastes that make you crave more on your Vietnam tours. Here we proudly introduce you to these dishes and hope that it will be an unforgettable experience with Vietnamese cuisine.

 

Banh Canh Ben Co

Tra Vinh cuisine always offers surprises to the guests, among which Banh canh Ben Co is one. Mild and translucent colored strands of noodles did not balloon when dipped so long in the sweet broth, which was filled with the taste of porcine bones. The complementary ingredients should be liver, guts, or porcine legs, and a small bowl of fish sauce and chili. Obviously, banh canh Ben Co can make your holidays in Vietnam a thousand times better.

 

Banh Canh With Shrimps And Ben Tre's Coconut Water

When you travel to Vietnam, you can try another dish of banh canh using the interesting taste of coconut water. The shrimps were cleaned and stir-fried with spices and only thrown into the broth when it boils, then added coconut water and complementary spices. This dish should taste sweet, glazy and a bit salty because of the spiced shrimps; all produced a strangely pleasant taste.

 

Banh Canh With Ha Tien's Kinh Crabs

One of the best banh canh dishes from the Mekong Delta should be Banh canh ghẹ, literally translated to Banh canh noodle with Kinh crabs. This is a very popular dish from Ha Tien and Phu Quoc Island, due to its richness in seafood. The major ingredients are Kinh crab, banh canh noodle, shrimp sausages, and blood. The broth must be cooked with the meat of Kinh crab, which tastes sweet and a little sticky. The tourists usually enjoy the crabs and the meats dipped in lemon, salts and pepper. The last thing about this ambrosia is its broth.

 

Banh Canh Ca Loc

Banh canh noodle with snakehead fish is probably the most well-known banh canh dish in the Mekong Delta. To make a good banh canh ca loc, one needs to notice and do it gingerly when it comes to the making of the noodle itself. Snakehead fish should be steamed with boiling water until it's edible, with the bones removed and added in boiling water. This dish tastes best when still boiling hot, usually with herbs to eliminate the stink intrinsic to most fish. This is a unique dish and can be enjoyed at any time of the day. Contact your travel agency in Vietnam and get informed about where you can get a dish of banh canh ca loc in Vietnam.

We're sure you're all hungry after reading this and probably picturing a bowl of banh canh noodles in your mind. Don't be hesitant and let all just book a trip to the Mekong Delta to try all of the aforementioned dishes.
