It’s officially summer season here in Southern California and along with the sunshine obviously comes the heat! As much as I love noodle soups, it’s a bit tricky having hot soup in the summer (Although I would still do it personally.) So one of my favorite dishes to make for my little family is Bún Thịt Nướng!

Now this is inspired by my mom‘s version of it. This is her signature dish. Growing up my mom made this often every summer because we would go camping and this was the perfect dish to bring to camp! It’s super easy to prep beforehand and all you need to do is grill the meat and put the little noodle salad together!

I think the cool part about this dish is that it’s so customizable and universal. You can add more or less of any toppings, and you can omit the noodles and go straight to veggies if you are on a diet or have restrictions. So everyone can kinda have their own bowl suited to their own taste.

Of course this dish would not be complete without some Nước chấm! You can find the recipe for the sauce link right here!

As always the recipe is below, see you next time!
