Discover the Allure of Crispy Rice Paper with Shrimp Paste in Quang Ngai
Every afternoon, the food stalls along the banks of Tra Khuc River, Quang Ngai, become a favorite hangout spot for locals due to the refreshing atmosphere and pocket-friendly food. Especially, the renowned crispy rice paper with shrimp paste emanates a unique aroma, captivating travelers visiting this area.

The medium-thick rice paper (neither too thin nor too thick) is pre-baked, and when customers arrive, it is crisped over charcoal. A thin, evenly spread layer of shrimp paste is applied, left to marinate for a while, then topped with fresh scallions. The highlight of the dish is the shrimp paste, skillfully crafted with a unique recipe, appealing to various tastes. Finally, dried beef is added for an extra flavor.
This dish is prepared on-site as it is best enjoyed when hot. Despite being coated with shrimp paste, diners can also dip it in a mixture of shrimp paste and chili sauce. The dipping sauce strikes a perfect balance of salty richness and mild spiciness, complementing the sweet flavor of Quang's dried beef, creating a delightful, crunchy experience for many young enthusiasts.
