Mi Quang originated in Quang Nam Province, the region where Hoi An is located. The dish dates back several centuries, influenced by rural farming life.

Fresh garden herbs

Originally, Mi Quang was served during family gatherings, market mornings, and special occasions. Over time, it became a daily breakfast staple.
