Hanoi sidewalks offer culinary warmth when it gets cold

Hanoi’s sidewalks lure people out on to the streets even when the weather gets cold with a wide range of culinary delights from hot porridge to crispy banana fries.

Banh ran man (salty glutinous rice doughnuts) is a mixture of vermicelli, minced meat, veggies, salt, wood-ear mushroom, pepper and prawn. The doughnuts are fried four to five times in different pans to make the crust particularly crunchy. They taste best when they are piping because they become a little bit hard when they cool down.   One of the most famous addresses to taste the dish in Hanoi is a food stall located down a small alley on Lac Long Quan Street.
