Sue's epic journey begins in Vietnam, on the vast Mekong Delta, where she joins Si Hei, the queen of the noodle. Starting at dawn, they head out to sell noodle soup at the Delta's largest floating market that's endured for centuries. Vietnam is the world's second largest exporter of rice, so Sue moves upstream to work with farmers in the paddy fields and finds out how their lives are changing with the prospect of capitalism.
