Mi Quang, a traditional food of central Vietnam

When I spoke with the older women in Hội An, they gave me a beautiful truth:
“Here, every woman knows how to cook Mì Quảng for her family. It’s a tradition that’s handed down from mothers to daughters.”
The region’s unpredictable weather and busy daily life shaped Mì Quảng into a quick yet deeply flavorful dish.
You can use whatever is available to you: chicken from the yard, herbs from the garden, broth from the previous night, and somehow it is always reflective of home.
