Experience the crispy, golden crust and flavorful vermicelli filling that has captured the hearts of locals and tourists alike.
Distinct from traditional banh my, vermicelli bread or banh my mien features a filling of stir-fried vermicelli, eggs, and wood ear mushrooms, offering a delightful twist on the usual breakfast sandwich ingredients.
With over 20 years of experience, Ms. Ha, the owner of a renowned bread shop on Le Hong Phong Street, introduced this novel dish by combining various components to enhance its appeal, eventually gaining widespread popularity.
Creating delectable vermicelli bread requires expertise in both crafting the filling and perfecting the crust. The vermicelli, mixed with wood ear mushrooms, eggs, and bean sprouts, is stir-fried to preserve its tenderness without becoming mushy.
The process involves cutting the vermicelli into small pieces, softening it in water, blanching, and then stir-frying with other ingredients to maintain separation. The crust, crucial to the dish, is achieved by dipping the bread in diluted sugar water and frying until crispy and golden.
The delightful combination of textures and flavors in vermicelli bread has won over many, including Thu Ha, a Hanoi student, who praises its unique taste and the addictive nature of the dish.
Hong Anh, a visitor from Hai Phong, attests to the unparalleled taste and authenticity of Hai Duong’s vermicelli bread, making the wait at Ms. Ha’s shop worthwhile, offering this unique treat only found in Hai Duong.
When in Hai Duong City, do not miss the opportunity to visit Ms. Ha’s bread shop on Le Hong Phong Street, near the Pham Ngu Lao turn and close to Ly Tu Trong Primary School, open from 6 AM till sold out by 10 AM. Each vermicelli bread is priced at VND 15,000, while fried bread without filling costs VND 7,000.
