Mien luon is Hanoi's eel glass-noodle dish: chewy mung-bean noodles topped with crispy-fried river eel, served wet in a clear broth or dry with fried.

River eels were a Red-River-delta staple long before Hanoi's modern food culture; Mien Luon Chan Cam on Chan Cam street has plated the dish at a kerbside counter for decades and now holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand. The dry version (mien luon kho) with crispy eel and fried shallots is the Hanoi specialty.
