Rice noodles served with golden pan-fried field perch in a sweet, clear broth brightened by water mimosa and dill — a famed specialty of Thái Bình.
Quỳnh Côi fish soup was born in the rice country of Thái Bình, where field perch grow plump with the harvest season. The perch is deboned, marinated in turmeric and fried until golden and fragrant, then laid over a bowl of rice noodles in a broth simmered from the fish bones until wonderfully sweet. Finished with water mimosa and dill in summer or mustard greens in winter, this humble dish warms the hearts of those far from home.
Flavour: Clear and sweet, fragrant with fish, deeply savory
