Cao Lau – The Quintessence of Hoi An’s Special Cuisine

Cao Lau Hoi An is unlike any other noodle dish. The special feature of this dish lies in the chewy noodles, which are elaborately prepared from unique ingredients.

• Special ingredients: The noodles are made from rice soaked in the ash water of a plant in Cu Lao Cham, which helps create the chewiness and characteristic color. The water used in the flour milling process must be taken from Ba Le well – a famous ancient well in Hoi An.
• Processing process: After soaking, the rice flour is carefully filtered, ground, rolled into pieces and cut into noodles. The noodles are then steamed multiple times and dried to achieve perfect dryness.
