Cassava noodle is light yellow, hammock-shaped, made from cassava flour. Unlike Phở made from rice that must be blanched through boiling water to be prepared, Cassava Noddle only needs to be soaked for a few minutes in warm or cold water. Because cassava contains small amounts of cyanide toxin, the worker peels the cassava before pressing for flour. Cassava flour is also soaked in water for 3 days and 3 nights to completely eliminate toxins, helping retain the necessary fiber and nutrients, followed by cooking into glue to make cassava noodles.
To shape the net, one person is responsible for sifting the dough while another uses bamboo blisters to apply non-stick grease, shape the cassava pho and put it in the sun waiting for the noodles to dry. At that time, all the stages were done manually, taking a lot of time as well as effort. In addition, the market is narrow (mainly local markets) so many households often lower their prices, others choose to switch to more stable income jobs.
Elevating the brand name of Quang Nam cassava noodle soup
Growing up in a family with a tradition of making Cassava Pho, Mr. Duong Ngoc Anh – son of Mr. Duong Ngoc Xinh understands the hardships of households working in Dong Phu commune. Once visiting his hometown, he felt sorry when he saw the village restored by his father in danger of disappearing. In 2018, despite working at the multinational technology corporation, he decided to return to Dong Phu to found Caromi Joint Stock Company, selling cassava products, mainly cassava noodle.In order to improve the progress while reducing the cost of human energy, the stages remain the same but he focuses on investing in machinery such as powder mixers, noodle presses. The output therefore increased, on average, the company produced 200 kg of cassava noodle, supplying many restaurants and eateries in Quang Nam and distributing to super-large such as VinMart, CoopMart,...
Dishes made from cassava noodle conquer the taste buds of diners
After only one year of operation, Caromi won the start-up award including: First prize "Finding innovative start-up talents in the South Central coast and Central Highlands", second prize "Presenting startup ideas to surf da Nang international investors". Ms. Le Thi Kim Anh – co-founder of Caromi shared, the initial success is both a motivation for the company to continue pursuing the project and an effective promotion channel to help many people know about Dong Phu cassava noodle village.
