Explore 3 Exquisite Bun Dishes from Tay Nguyen

1. Fermented Crab Vermicelli

Fermented crab vermicelli is considered one of the standout Tay Nguyen Bun dishes with its unique name. Although it may not have the pleasant aroma of other bun dishes, it will surely leave a memorable taste.

Originally from Binh Dinh province, when it arrived in Gia Lai, fermented crab vermicelli became a special dish with broth fermented from local field crabs. This dish is for adventurous eaters, but if you have the opportunity to visit Tay Nguyen, be sure to try it to enrich your culinary experience!

A bowl of crab vermicelli typically consists of vermicelli, bamboo shoots, and broth, topped with fried shallots and pork skin. Enjoying this dish with duck embryo, raw vegetables, as well as fried spring rolls, sour fermented pork sausage, and more is incredibly enticing.

2. Red Vermicelli

Apart from the spoiled crab vermicelli, there's also the unmissable red vermicelli in the list of Tay Nguyen vermicelli dishes. Red vermicelli is easier to enjoy as it lacks any strange odor and offers a fragrant and delicious taste, hence it's highly favored by tourists.

The name of red vermicelli originates from the color of the vermicelli strands. This is because locals here add cashew nuts to the broth, enhancing both the flavor and aroma of the dish while creating a visually striking and impressive color. At first glance, this vermicelli dish resembles crab vermicelli, but it has several distinct differences.

This is a rather special dish adapted from Binh Dinh shrimp vermicelli. The ingredients for Kon Tum water vermicelli usually include fresh shrimp, rice vermicelli, eggs, bean sprouts, and minced beef. Particularly, the vermicelli strands of this dish are often processed on-site, so you can completely trust the quality. After preparing the fresh shrimp and removing their shells, they are mashed and spread into a bowl, then other ingredients are added one by one, followed by pouring boiled vermicelli water in. Unlike other vermicelli dishes that use bone broth, this dish is cooked with boiled vermicelli water, then spices are added to enhance the flavor.
