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.
