Bún bò nam bộ - Vietnamese beef noodle salad

Bún bò nam bộ is a Vietnamese noodle salad that is not served as a soup. Cold rice noodles are combined with marinated beef stir-fried in a wok and fresh herbs.

It is built in layers of noodles, lettuce, cucumber, and herbs, topped with seared beef. It is drizzled with sweet-and-sour fish sauce and sprinkled with peanuts and fried shallots. A refreshing dish perfect for hot days.
