My Daughter was in Heaven!!
Recently we moved from USA to Israel. There is no good Vietnamese food here! She use to order a dish like this back home so I made it and she was in Heaven. She will be taking this to lunch for the rest of the week. I absolutely love all your recipes.
Perfect mix of sweet, salty, tangy, and umami!
Loved this noodle dish! I’m so surprised it doesn’t have any reviews yet. The Nuoc cham dressing was the perfect mix of flavors. I thought it might be a little too concentrated at first but it really comes together once it’s mixed with the vermicelli rice noodles.
To mix it up, I stir fried the julienned carrots w/ some bok choy before mixing it into the dish. I served it with a side of baby broccoli. Next time I’ll prep more in advance to let the chicken marinate for a little longer.
