Explore the rural culinary delights of Hà Tĩnh with grilled pork noodle

If you happen to pass through Hồng Lĩnh town, Hà Tĩnh, visitors can stop by any roadside eatery to enjoy grilled pork noodle. While not a new dish, locals have infused it with the robust flavors of the countryside.

A basic serving includes white noodles, grilled meat, soy sauce, and fresh vegetables. Diners mix the noodles with soy sauce and enjoy them with the meat. Each flavor stands out distinctly, allowing diners to distinguish each component in the dish.

The grilled meat used for the noodle dish is lean and not overly fatty, typically sourced from the shoulder. Marinated with lemongrass, shallots, and a hint of lime juice for a few hours before grilling, the meat absorbs the flavors evenly. Notably, the meat is only grilled when customers arrive to eat, ensuring it remains tender and retains its juicy, succulent taste without becoming dry.

However, what adds to the sophistication of the dish is not only the simplicity of the ingredients but also the soy sauce. Locals call this seasoning 'cheo' – made from soy sauce, mixed with crushed roasted peanuts, finely ground, adding chili, garlic, and sugar. The dipping sauce is smooth, harmonious, and not thick. When eaten, the aroma of cheo enhances the flavor of the meat and the refreshing taste of the noodles.

Characteristic of Central Vietnamese cuisine is its spicy nature, so the chili in the soy sauce adds an extra layer of flavor to the grilled pork noodles. If guests are not accustomed to the rich spicy taste, they can opt for a mild dipping sauce with pickled carrots and papaya.

Grilled pork noodles in Hà Tĩnh are available all day, so guests can comfortably choose the dining time. A serving for one person costs around 30,000 Vietnamese dong. The streets in Hồng Lĩnh town have many grilled pork noodle stalls for tourists to choose from, such as Trần Phú, Phan Anh, and Nguyễn Ái Quốc…
