Step-by-Step Instructions for Making Vietnamese Salad Vermicelli
HOW TO MAKE VIETNAMESE VERMICELLI SALAD
Bun Bo Xao
You will want to make two marinades, one for the beef and one for the sauce that you will serve alongside these bowls.
Fresh lemongrass is very important here for the beef marinade, it gives it that really intense lemon taste. So be sure to get your hands on a few stocks or a simple pre-made one that you will simply place into the marinade.
The longer you marinade the beef the better. If your making it for dinner then simply marinate it in the morning or the night prior. Then basically the rest of the dish can be pulled together in less than 30 minutes. Easy peazy!
What makes these rice bowls so good is the fresh ingredients and the authentic Vietnamese Salad Dressing that it is served with.
