Love lemongrass! This salad looks fantastic!

Love this idea of a “deconstructed spring roll” if  you will! And that lemongrass sauce sauce divine!! Definitely a recipe I’m going to have to try!

made this for lunch today! was so quick and easy and very tasty, fried up some shrimp to put on top, added basil because I didn't have mint but a perfect lunch for my family!

I love everything about this salad - how tasty it looks, how simple it is, and how quickly it can come together. Thanks so much for sharing.

Made this last night - it is outstanding, as were the leftovers for lunch today. My husband had an insight - I made the "pretty" version and he said he liked being able to pick and choose what flavors he had in each bite, rather than a blended thing where each bite tastes the same. I mean, right?! As for the tofu, I used Budget Bytes honey-lime glazed tofu from her Mango Coconut Tofu bowls recipe (also outstanding). Thanks for such a yummy recipe!

This was a huge hit with my family! Added sliced snap peas for some extra crunch. Will DEFINITELY make again, such a great summer recipe.

Very tasty and special! Thank you! The fish oil is very smelly in the sauce, so I might try leaving that out next time or using less (while sacrificing authenticity).

I made this and ate it for lunch, then dinner, and then breakfast the next day.  No joke.  It's amazing!

This recipe has such amazing and unique flavor! It was my first time cooking tofu and vermicelli rice noodles and it was an absolute success. I used the directions for cooking tofu she has linked and it turned out great. I kept the ingredients separated like she suggested and it was delicious for lunch still two days later.

oh my god this SALAD!! i've been getting bored of cooking in shutdown, scrolled your blog for inspiration (as I do daily) and convinced myself I had the energy to make this.... WOW the flavors were so complex and bright, everything came together easily and beautifully. 10/10 recommend, especially since the ingredients are all ones I tend to have on hand. definitely a new favorite!

This was delish!!!! Hubby and two teens gobbled it up. Next time I will double it. I forgot the lime juice in the sauce and it was still fabulous!!! Thank you. This is a keeper.

Forgot to add: my husband threw a fried egg on these and it was a great addition!

Recipe video above. Big, juicy, slaw-like salad with chicken, and singing with signature Vietnamese flavours: Lots of fresh herbs and a zingy Nuoc Cham salad dressing. I like cutting the chicken into thin batons so it sort of blends into the cabbage - and it makes less goes further!Don&#039;t skimp on the herbs and peanuts here. It really brings added freshness and texture to the dish.This will serve 3 hungry adults or 4 normal servings (as a meal). Skip the chicken for a perfect Vietnamese side salad.

Cleaning

Place pork and shrimp them into a large mixing bowl and scrub them down with 2 tablespoons coarse salt then rinse thoroughly under cold running water. Drain dry.

Prepare pork

Slice the pork belly into long strips. Then slice it into thin pieces. Transfer to a bowl and marinate with a bit of salt, sugar, fish sauce, paprika and turmeric. Set aside.

Prepare shrimp

Detach the shrimp heads from the bodies. Set shrimp heads aside to make the broth later. Shell the shrimp if preferred and devein. Transfer the shrimp to a bowl and marinate with a bit of salt, sugar, fish sauce, paprika and turmeric. Set aside.

Prepare the Proteins

Pan fry shrimp heads

To the bottom of a large pot, heat a tablespoon oil on medium-high. Add shrimp heads and pan fry for 5 minutes. Using the back of a ladle, smash the shrimp heads to release its head fat, which will naturally color the broth a beautiful red/orange.

Simmer

Add pork bones, yellow onion, and 2 quarts of water and bring the pot to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, leave the pot uncovered, and let it simmer for 45 minutes. Once done, remove all the solids and discard.

Sauté pork belly

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet. Add half the shallots and garlic, and pan-fry until fragrant (20 seconds). Add the marinated pork belly slices, and cook for 5 minutes, or until the outside is caramelized. Transfer the pork belly to the stock pot and continue to cook the stock for an additional 15 minutes.

Sauté shrimp

Return to the empty skillet and heat the remaining tablespoon of oil. Add remaining shallots and garlic and pan-fry until fragrant (about 20 seconds). Add the marinated shrimp and cook for about three minutes or until they are no longer translucent. Once cooked, set the shrimp aside.

Season stock to taste

Add remaining salt, sugar, fish sauce, paprika and turmeric. Adjust to taste. If you find the broth a little underwhelming, add a bit of MSG or chicken bouillon powder.

Make the Broth

Noodles/vegetables/herbs/limes

Cook the noodles per packaged instructions. Wash and thinly slice choice of vegetables and herbs. Slice the lemons or limes into wedges. Set aside.

Make rice crackers

Light wet rice crackers with water. You can use a water spritzer on both sides or dab them with a wet paper towel. Ensure that the microwave plate is clean and place the crackers directly on it. Heat them for 30 seconds, flip them over, and heat for another 30 seconds until they puff up evenly. Break the crackers into small pieces and set aside.

Prepare the Accompaniments

Vegetables/herbs

Add your choice of vegetables to the bottom of the bowl.

Layer the cooked noodles on top of the bed of vegetables.

Broth

Pour about a cup of broth over the noodles, making sure to include slices of pork belly.

Toppings
