Vietnamese Ri Chicken: What You’ll Taste in a Cooking Class in Tam Coc

Vietnamese Ri Chicken: A True Local Ingredient 

Among the many dishes in Ninh Binh,
chicken appears everywhere.

But not all chicken is the same.

Vietnamese Ri chicken is a traditional local breed,
raised naturally in rural areas.

It is very different from industrial chicken
commonly served in many restaurants.

How Chicken Is Really Raised in Dundj Valley 

At Dundj Valley, chickens are not confined or force-fed.

They live freely across wide open fields,
searching for their own food every day.

Their natural diet includes:

• insects and worms

• wild plants and grasses

• leftover grains from the farm

This constant movement makes them:

• stronger

• more active

• and naturally healthier

Why It Tastes Different from Restaurant Chicken 

In many restaurants in Tam Coc,
chicken is often sourced from industrial farms.

These chickens are typically:

• raised in enclosed environments

• fed with processed industrial feed

• grown quickly in just 40–45 days

At Dundj Valley, Vietnamese Ri chickens are raised for 3–4 months.

They grow naturally, without pressure.

Because they:

• run freely across large areas

• find food on their own

• live in a natural ecosystem

The result is:

• firmer texture

• naturally sweet flavor

• lower fat

• richer nutrients

👉 This is what “real local food” actually means.

From Ingredient to Meal 

In Vietnam, chicken can be prepared in many ways:

• grilled over charcoal

• boiled and served simply

• fried for daily meals

• cooked into traditional dishes

But no matter the method,
👉 the quality of the chicken defines everything.

Beyond Restaurants: A Different Way to Eat in Tam Coc

You don’t just sit and eat.

• see where the ingredients come from

• understand how animals are raised

• share a meal with a local family

This is where local food becomes a real experience.
