Au Tau Night Porridge (Bitter Aconite Porridge)

A one-of-a-kind night porridge found only in Ha Giang. The au tau root (a highly toxic yet medicinal tuber) is slow-simmered for over 12 hours to eliminate toxins, then cooked with local upland sticky rice, rich pork trotters, and an egg yolk. It features a signature bitter taste followed by a sweet aftertaste, perfect for recovering after a long mountain drive.
