About Cao lau

Cao Lau is a traditional Vietnamese dish originating from Hoi An, blending unique flavors and textures. This dish features chewy rice noodles, slices of tender pork, fresh herbs, and crispy fried croutons, often accompanied by a light, savory broth for added depth. The noodles are distinct, as they are made with water sourced from specific local wells and lye ash, giving them their signature texture. While Cao Lau showcases fresh ingredients like greens and herbs that offer vitamins and antioxidants, it also includes elements higher in sodium, such as soy sauce and pork, which may require moderation for some diets. Typically low in added sugars, Cao Lau can be a balanced choice depending on portion size and preparation. The dish embodies the rich culinary tradition of central Vietnam, offering both nourishment and authentic flavor in every bite.
