It's just squid noodles, but this dish is causing a stir at Man Thai beach (Son Tra district, Da Nang city), causing dozens of young people to wake up early and jostle to sit close to the beach to enjoy it.

Famous for fresh squid

Not long ago, some people doing business in the beach area of ​​Man Thai ward, Son Tra district, Da Nang city tried selling instant noodles cooked with fresh squid right in this beach area.

It is surprising that this seemingly simple dish has become a craze among young people. People call fresh squid caught in this sea area "squid flash". Just boil it, mix it with instant noodles and it becomes an extremely attractive dish, attracting hundreds of young people to enjoy it every day.

Flashing squid is very fresh squid, the squid body is still visible, with brown and red flashing spots.

When customers order, the seller starts to prepare. Squid noodles are prepared quite simply but must ensure that the main ingredient is fresh squid whose eyes, teeth, ink sac and internal organs have been removed by the seller, keeping the squid eggs.

The squid broth will then be seasoned with instant noodle seasoning or the owner's own seasoning. Each bowl of noodles will have noodles, squid, celery, bean sprouts, onions, and green peppers. If anyone cannot eat any of the ingredients, they will tell the restaurant to remove them. In addition, customers often order a separate plate of boiled squid with seafood dipping sauce.

Many locals and tourists, after paddling sup and jogging on Man Thai beach, immediately came in to eat and shared widely on social networks, attracting many young people to follow the trend.
