Van Cu is the name of a village located along the Bo River, now in Huong Toan Commune, Huong Tra Town, Thua Thien Hue Province. From Dong Ba Market, the village is located about 10 kilometres northwest of Hue Citadel. The 400-year-old trade village has preserved the craft since its female founder first made noodles there centuries ago. Noodle makers at the village still formulate the rice noodles from pure raw materials, without using any chemical additives or preservatives. Local authorities said 125 households with 325 craftsmen and women produce between 25 to 28 tonnes of rice noodles each day. Van Cu noodles are the key ingredient in a series of unique dishes, including Hue-style beef noodle soup and noodles with mussels. VNA Photo: Tường Vi
