Golden, crispy rice crust made from fragrant sticky rice, topped hot with goat sauce or a thick stir-fry of heart and kidney — the iconic dish of the cuisine of Hoa Lư Ancient Capital.
Story of the dish
Legend holds that Ninh Bình rice crust originated in the late 19th century, when an eatery owner made use of the layer of scorched rice at the bottom of a cast-iron pot, drying it in the sun and then frying it until puffed. The humble dish gradually became a specialty served to guests, tied to this land of the ancient capital.
