Eel soup and Dong vermicelli eel
Dong vermicelli eel ( mién luon) is one of the famous traditional dishes from the land of Nghe An, Central Vietnam. This dish is made from vermicelli and fresh eel. (vermicelli is different from white noodles made from rice), vermicelli is made from arrow-root. Therefore, vermicelli is milky white and slightly chewy. When eaten, it feels chewy and crunchy. This dish is not only delicious but also brings countless health benefits.
Eel vermicelli has positive effects on health, especially supporting digestion and providing energy to the body. Eel is a small fish with high protein and low fat content that helps provide necessary nutrients for the body without making you fat.

The delicious taste of Nghe An-style mien eel is often highlighted by the distinctive flavor of eel, combined perfectly with the sweetness of the broth and the aroma of spices. Chewy vermicelli noodles served with crispy fried eel is an unforgettable dish.
The popularity of Nghe An-style mien eel is mainly attributed to the delicate combination of high-quality ingredients and the local culinary expertise. Nghe An is a province located in central Vietnam - it is located in the middle of a large river system, with abundant eel resources, so Nghe An eel vermicelli has become a specialty dish that anyone visiting Nghe An will enjoy this dish.

The owner of this eel vermicelli shop is from Nghe An, so these eel dishes are cooked according to traditional recipes. This restaurant's name is: Ms. Thien Dinh Ngang's eel vermicelli (Address at 14 Dinh Ngang, Hoan Kiem District, Hanoi City.)
First of all, it's impossible not to mention the diversity in the menu of the shop. Every day, the shop sells out from 300-400 bowls of eel noodles, and this number increases to 500 bowls on weekends. This shop offers a full range of eel such as mixed vermicelli, vermicelli soup, and stir-fried vermicelli along with porridge.. What's special is the way the eel is prepared here, very skillfully, without being fishy but still retaining the aroma and sweetness of the eel meat.The price of the dishes here ranges from 35,000 VND to 45,000 VND (about 1.5 - 2 dollars). This price seems higher than other restaurants, but surely coming here you will be satisfied with the quality of food, clean seats and friendly owner.

After that, Mrs. Thien fried the eel again with turmeric powder to help the outer shell of the eel turn golden brown evenly and crispy.
