5 famous delicious specialties of Da Nang, diners want to eat them again after eating them once

Rice paper rolls with pork

Pork rolls are not a strange dish, present in many provinces in the Central region such as Hue, Quang Nam, etc. However, Da Nang pork rolls have their own unique features, impressing diners with their unmistakable flavor.

According to locals, Da Nang rice paper must be the type that has been exposed to dew, giving off the aroma of rice, being chewy, flexible and not falling apart when rolled.

Pork is also carefully processed with alternating layers of lean and fat so that the meat is soft and fatty. When cooked, it is sliced into thin, bite-sized pieces.

Da Nang pork rolls are also served with herbs, mango, thinly sliced cucumber, etc. and dipped in sweet and sour fish sauce, becoming a delicious dish that cools down and relieves hunger, attracting diners (Photo: Hoang My Hanh).

In particular, the dipping sauce is considered the soul of the dish, creating its own unique flavor. The dipping sauce here is made from Da Nang fish sauce, with a rich flavor mixed with the sweet taste of sugar, mixed with a little sourness of pureed pineapple or the spiciness of chili,...

Danang beef noodle soup

Unlike beef noodle soup in many places, beef noodle soup in Da Nang has its own characteristics such as thin, long white noodles, often with more rare beef or soft beef shank. In addition, Da Nang people often cook the broth with a stronger satay flavor.

Danang snail

When talking about Da Nang specialties, we cannot fail to mention the snail dish that is loved by both locals and tourists from all over the world.
