    A classic of Vietnamese cuisine, Bò bún is a full-bodied, ultra-perfumed dish bursting with flavor. Super simple to make and so delicious, it's made with raw vegetables, vermicelli, crispy egg rolls, fresh herbs and a delicious sauce.

    For the record, Bò bún is traditionally served with beef. In Vietnam, if you want chicken, ask for a Gà bún.

    If you like Asian cuisine, you'll love the Chicken Karaage (best fried chicken), chicken in Teriyaki sauce or the famous beef with onions.

    💙 Why you'll love it

    • It's really delicious and although the list of ingredients is a bit long, it's very easy to make!
    • It takes you on an instant trip to Vietnam.
    • It is dairy-free.

    🥕 Ingredients

    These are the main ingredients, and the quantities can be found in the recipe card below.

    • Chicken egg rolls - you can buy them frozen or in Asian grocery stores.
    • Rice vermicelli
    • Vegetables: carrots, onions and lettuce.
    • Herbs: mint, coriander and lemongrass.
    • Asian sauces : fish sauce (also known as nuoc mâm sauce) and soy sauce. You can find them in supermarkets.
    • Bean sprouts: also known as mung beans, you can find them in Asian grocery stores or large supermarkets.
    • A lime
    • Sesame oil: you can also find this in most supermarkets.
    • For the sauce: I recommend garlic powder, cane sugar, cayenne pepper and rice vinegar.
    • Salted peanuts: they're optional, but they add a super-cool texture to topping!

    💡 Frequently Asked Questions

    How do you eat a bò bún?

    Bò bún is best eaten at room temperature. The different temperatures (cold for the herbs and raw vegetables and hot for the chicken, rice vermicelli and egg rolls) blend perfectly in the mouth!

    How do you heat a bò bún?

    Separate the rice vermicelli, chicken and egg rolls from the rest of the bò bún. Reheat the rice vermicelli briefly in the microwave, and the egg rolls and chicken in the oven. Then add to your bò bún and enjoy!

    ❄️Storage

    I recommend you eat this recipe the D day, so that the egg rolls stay nice and crispy. Alternatively, you can prepare it 2 days in advance and add the hot egg rolls at the last minute!
