The broth served on the side is often made from sea snails, not pork or chicken bones — a distinctly coastal touch.

Thin rice noodles are tossed with fried peanuts, toasted sesame, bean sprouts, shredded meat, and pickled vegetables, served alongside a light savory broth.

Why it's made this way: Hainan's tropical, seafood-centered food culture shaped a noodle dish built around fresh, light toppings.
