A rare specialty in Binh Dinh, who is very lucky to have the opportunity to enjoy, 150,000 VND / jar

Binh Dinh is a land with many beautiful tourist attractions and dishes with bold flavors of the Central region. In which, My An mushroom sauce is a name that causes memories for many tourists near and far.

Nhum (also known as sea urchins or sea urchins) often lives in groups in rocks and moss in the sea along the Central region. They have the following characteristics: large round shape, many spines on the outside, and yellow-green in color. Although the body is ugly and thorny, there is a golden flesh inside.

Ms. Ngoc Lan (32 years old, Binh Dinh) said: “Nhum is a rare gift that the sea gives to the border region of my hometown and is used by fishermen to make many delicious dishes such as braised neem, mixed nem. steamed rice or steamed rice. But the most delicious is still fish sauce – a dish that has been with us since many generations.”

To make fish sauce, fishermen will choose tamarind because they have an eye-catching color and firm, more fragrant flesh than other types of urchin. More than that, it is not easy to catch the urchin, they have to follow the stone burden and then use the iron hook to gently pull them into the bag. If you hit it hard, it will stick more tightly or shoot spikes in your hand.

“Mam Nhum is made from a fruit only found in the My An mountains of my hometown. There are many different types of urchin, but to make fish sauce, you must choose a black urchin – tamarind. At that time, new Nhum fish sauce will create a unique and delicious flavor,” said the woman in the Central region.

Mushroom sauce is easy to prepare, but 100kg of sea urchin can only make 2kg, that’s why it’s very difficult to enjoy this rare specialty. “When eating, you can add some minced garlic, little chili and a little ground pepper. The fish sauce is very fragrant, with a strong scent of forest fruit. The salty, sour, and sweet flavors fully blended in My An urchin fish sauce will make your nose delicious, extremely attractive and completely different from other types of fish sauce.

Usually people will eat boiled bacon with rice paper and raw vegetables and then dip it with fish sauce. The dish seems to be very simple, but it has captivated many tourists,” said Ngoc Lan.

If you want to buy fish sauce, you can go to My An land (Phu My, Binh Dinh) – where this specialty is “born” or buy it in many central provinces for 100,000 – 150,000 VND/jar.

“My An mushroom sauce is not as popular as other types of fish sauce because of its rarity. Therefore, many times, even money cannot buy because we do not know where to sell. Therefore, if you have the opportunity to try to set foot in My An, you should “hunt” to buy and enjoy the unique flavor of this fish sauce. I guarantee you will fall in love from the first time you enjoy it.
