Bún Cá Cay (Spicy Fish Noodle Soup)

🌶️
Photo coming soon

The heat and the orange-red tint come from the same chí chương chili sauce that Hai Phong's bánh mì cay stalls use.

Rice vermicelli in a fish-bone broth, topped with crisp-fried fish and fish cake and served with water spinach, dọc mùng and banana blossom at noodle shops and pavement stalls around the city.

Why it's made this way: Sold across Hai Phong as a local speciality, pairing the port city's fish with its signature chili sauce.
