Street of vermicelli with fish leaves and jellyfish vermicelli on Yersin street

Actually, vermicelli with pickled fish leaves is not a type of vermicelli with ingredients from the fish species called “beam”, but this is a way to prepare a typical broth that makes this type of vermicelli unique. If you plan to go to Nha Trang, don’t forget to enjoy this dish. Vermicelli leaves originated from Thanh My village – Ninh Hoa and from there spread everywhere, leaving a mark in the hearts of many diners. This type of vermicelli is swirled into a thin circle, as small as the rim of a cup. Each pen slice is placed on a round piece of banana leaf to avoid sticking to each other.

The broth is made from sea fish such as sailfish, raft fish, crawfish or tuna… All are fish rich in protein, sweet and chewy. After being cleaned, the fish is deboned into small pieces and dropped into a pot of water. That’s why this dish’s full name is “beamed fish leaf vermicelli” (or “smashed” depending on the dialect). The fish selected must be fresh and should not fall apart when cooked. The next secret here is to keep the pot of water very clear. Vegetables served with this type of vermicelli are usually lettuce, herbs, bean sprouts, banana ears… All are chopped and mixed when preparing to eat. To make the bowl of vermicelli more flavorful, you can squeeze in a slice of fresh lemon, add a little fish sauce or shrimp paste. If you stop at Yersin Street, you can enjoy both pickled fish leaf vermicelli and jellyfish vermicelli.
