Vietnamese Noodle Salad With Lemongrass

Bún bò xào (Vietnamese Noodle Salad with Lemongrass) is one of our favorite Southeast Asian dishes from Vietnam. It’s a classic Vietnamese dish that’s flavorful, light, and healthy. The dish is usually served in layers with noodles at the bottom, pickled and fresh vegetables, lemongrass beef, and topped with crushed peanuts, fried crisp shallots, and fresh herbs. In this recipe, we used our Soybean Spaghetti and lemongrass eggs to create a delicious, protein-packed, vegetarian version.
