Cao lầu - Hội An is a noodle dish, but it’s not like pho or bun. The noodles are thick and chewy, almost like Japanese udon, but made with a special water that locals say must come from the old Ba Le well in Hoi An. That’s what makes the noodles unique and gives them their yellow color, unique flavor and special texture. The toppings are simple but full of flavor. Slices of tender pork are usually char siu-style, cooked with five-spice seasoning. On top of that, there are fresh herbs, crunchy rice crackers, and sometimes even roasted pork skin. The broth is very little, just enough to bring everything together — not soupy, but flavorful.
