Cao lầu

Cao lầu is a regional Vietnamese noodle dish, from the city of Hội An, in central Vietnam's Quảng Nam Province. It typically consists of pork and greens on a bed of rice noodles made from rice which has been soaked in lye water, giving them a characteristic texture and colour that sets the dish apart from other Vietnamese noodle dishes, including others from the same region, such as mì Quảng.

It also has very minimal concentrated broth, like a dry noodle with a bed of soup at the bottom. I think I'd prefer more soup. The noodles are like udon, thick, chewy, delicious.
