Bun oc – Snail vermicelli
Bun oc originally consisted of just noodles and snails, without the many additions like tofu, pork rolls, or beef that are common today. The broth is clear and slightly tangy, made from snail-boiling water mixed with vinegar and tomatoes. Snails come in both large and small varieties.
In addition to the hot version, Hanoi locals also enjoy cold snail vermicelli, where the snails are dipped in a sauce. The dish is served with herbs, and diners can add shrimp paste for extra flavor.
