When having the opportunity to come to Quang Nam, it is difficult for tourists to resist the rustic specialty dish that has existed for many generations, which is green eel porridge or rice porridge. Because people eat eel porridge with broccoli, people here call it green eel porridge. This dish is cooked with si rice, a local variety of rice from a very long time ago, flexible, fragrant and has a very unique sweet taste.
