There is a great little restaurant nearby called Le Petit Sao which specializes in Vietnamese food and I am just addicted to their “Bol Bun”,  a vermicelli bowl with salad, veggies and a choice of grilled beef or pork. 

My own version of a vermicelli salad bowl is quite different from the one I have when I go there, but it certainly does the trick when I don’t feel like going out or ordering in. I like to add my sauce and mix it in the skillet with the cooked vermicelli and shrimps before spreading it on the salad in the bowl, so that they absorb more of the flavours.

This recipe is super simple and it will take you about 20 minutes to make. Not bad for a week night dinner after a long day at work! ☺
