Salad Recipe : Vietnamese Noodle Salad w/Coconut Lemongrass BBQ Pork(Bun Thit Nuong) : Asian at Home

Hi everyone!!
There are so many salads out there and there are tons and tons of recipes for it. But nothing like this, Vietnamese noodle salad – Bun Thit Nuong.
It’s also a brilliant menu for a crowd, because you just throw everything as family style and guests will make they own bowl of salad! Makes everybody happy! ^_^  If you’re tired of ordinary BBQ party, this is what you need to try!! It’s an amazing BBQ idea that everybody will talk about until next summer!!
Warning: People are going to bother you a lot to do more of these, so be prepared!! lol

On the table, it looks like you did lots lots of work, but not really. 🙂 That’s why it’s so perfect meal for the crowds in summer time, WOW the guests and take all the credit! They don’t need to know how easy it was.

As I said on the video, the vegetables are totally up to you, but I recommend to have some crunch leaves, and different kind of herbs. Cilantro, mint and Thai basil is classic combination. You and add some perilla leaf or authentic greens as you like.

This is one of best BBQ marinate sauces I’ve ever made, because it’s very simple but packed of flavor! Even though you’re not interested in making this noodles salad, this meat itself is worth to try. It’s too good to miss out!

This classic Vietnamese flavored fish sauce served with lots of Vietnamese dishes so it’s very good idea to make double or triple of the recipe and keep it in the refrigerator if you love Vietnamese food. In the video I used lime juice, but you can use lemon juice or white vinegar instead. It’s really up to you, what you prefer. I use whatever I feel like that day. ^_^
