Why you must eat itSnails picked from their shells meet a broth soured with tomato and vinegar, ladled over rice vermicelli. The snails are small and springy to the bite, their muddiness tamed by ginger and fermented vinegar. Red oil floats on the surface, set off by fried tofu, banana flower, and a perilla-like herb. In the sour, sharp broth the snails' texture bounces and the noodles catch it. The contrast of hot soup and cool herbs suits the muggy air of the market.
Bun oc is a sour noodle dish topped with snails, drawing on a tradition of using snails raised in Hanoi's lakes and ponds. Stalls around the market serve it from morning. There is a soupy form and one where the snails come on a side plate and the noodles are dipped. Prices and hours are a guide. How well the snails are purged changes the impression, so choose a stall the locals gather at. Adjust heat with chili.
