Mì Quảng is the Vietnamese noodle dish from Quảng Nam served with turmeric-tinted noodles, herbs, peanuts and a small amount of broth.
The dish is associated with central Vietnam, especially Quảng Nam Province and the city of Đà Nẵng. Its broad rice noodles are often yellow because turmeric is added to the noodle dough, although white versions also exist. The bowl usually contains only enough concentrated broth to coat the ingredients rather than submerge them like a noodle soup.
Common toppings include pork, shrimp, chicken, quail egg, roasted peanuts, rice crackers and fresh herbs. The exact combination varies between households and restaurants, so the protein is not a reliable way to identify the dish.
Mì Quảng is sometimes confused with cao lầu, another central Vietnamese noodle specialty. Cao lầu is specifically associated with Hội An and uses thicker noodles with a different preparation, while mì Quảng is identified by its wide noodles, generous garnishes and limited broth.
