Don Tra Khuc
This is a specialty of Quang Ngai, appearing a lot in two large rivers, Tra Khuc and Ve River. Usually in the dry season around April-May, people around the river go to rake dons. Don lives buried in the sand, so raking is quite hard.
Don after buying or catching it is washed, put in boiling water, stirred vigorously and constantly to open the mouth, so that the broth is juicy. Put the pot down, take the clear water, put it in another pot and season to taste. Don treat the intestines. When customers order, the vendor scoops up some don and breaks a rice paper into a bowl, adds onions, green onions and cilantro, then fills it with water. Don served with chili, garlic, pepper.... It can be enjoyed at any time of the day, but Quang Ngai people usually eat it in the afternoon.
