Steamed Rice Rolls with Shrimp and Pork

Steamed rice rolls are a popular breakfast dish in many regions, but if you try Thanh Hoa's version with shrimp and pork, you're sure to fall in love with it!
Thanh Hoa's steamed rice rolls have a soft, chewy texture and a distinctive aroma. The makers are meticulous in selecting high-quality rice from the fertile regions of Vinh Loc, Yen Dinh, or Hoang Hoa.
The rice rolls are thinly spread, almost translucent, with a rich, savory flavor. They're served with grilled shrimp patties, fresh herbs, and a dipping sauce made with fish sauce, lime, and chili to balance out the saltiness. Some places also add a sweet, delicate shrimp paste, creating a truly unique and irresistible flavor.
Some popular spots in Thanh Hoa city where you can enjoy delicious steamed rice rolls include: Tho Hac Alley, Tran Hung Dao Street, and Dinh Le Street.
Eel Porridge
Eel porridge is another tasty and nutritious breakfast dish that many people choose to try and quickly fall in love with when visiting Thanh Hoa.
Thanh Hoa's eel porridge is prepared with great care. The eel used must be just the right size – neither too small nor too large – and is freshly cleaned, boiled, and then sautéed with scallion oil. The key to a perfect eel is its firm, sweet meat with no fishy odor. The porridge itself is made with fragrant rice, and the eel bones are pounded and strained to create a flavorful broth that simmers slowly with the rice.
A bowl of hot eel porridge, with the aroma of fried shallots, looks stunning with the vibrant colors of scallions, cilantro, and crispy fried tofu. The taste is a rich, sweet, and creamy flavor that is absolutely irresistible.
Shrimp Vermicelli

Shrimp vermicelli is perhaps a unique delicacy of Thanh Hoa that you won't find many other places. What makes this dish so irresistible are the fresh shrimp caught from Thanh Hoa's coastal waters, carefully prepared and cooked with vermicelli. The shrimp is peeled, sautéed with dried shallots until golden and fragrant.
When served, the vermicelli is blanched and placed in a bowl, topped with a broth made from simmered shrimp and bones, then garnished with shrimp, and finely chopped scallions and cilantro. The dish is so appealing with its rich, sweet broth and the savory, tender shrimp that it's easy to eat until you're full without ever getting tired of it.
Thanh Hoa Rice Soup

This may seem like an unusual dish from Thanh Hoa, but rice soup (Chao Canh) is essentially a variation of the traditional rice noodle soup. The broth has a thick, porridge-like consistency, made from slow-simmered bone marrow and shrimp that have been peeled. It's garnished with fresh herbs, chili powder, and pepper. When you taste it, you'll experience the delightful sweetness of the broth blending with the shrimp and meat, accompanied by chewy rice noodles. One taste and you'll be hooked, and it will stay in your memory.
