When in Hoi An, I do overdose of Cao Lau. And rightfully so because it is DELICIOUS. The prep and cooking of it though would make it a rather rare dish though since it does require a fair bit of prep and cooking time. BUT THAT FLAVOUR.. UGH.
So! I promised I would try and replicate that flavour and streamline it down into a cooking style that works for me but without sacrificing that nom nom nomminess.
Yeah it’s not a word but deal with it!
This meal was created one night when there was a mexican stand off in the kitchen. Actually not really. Neither Al or I wanted to cook – and clearly I was more hungry so I caved. Am ever so glad I did because this took next to no time to make and it was so fresh and delicious!
Thankfully heading to Vietnam as much as I do has opened me up to some AMAZINGLY awesome and tasty plant based meals. This salad is ever so fresh and tangy and is very straightforward to make AND it goes as a side for so many other dishes!
My love affair with Vietnam is no secret. Chilling out on the beach only to then ride back into town to eat delicious food? OH IF I MUST!
I’ve never really been one to fist pump at the prospect of salad. I do believe it was a Simpsons episodes that coined the phrase “You don’t make friends with Salad”.
This recipe and it’s salad are an exception to that phrase.
Light, tangy and just flat out delicious – eating this healthy meal is one of perfect examples of eating healthy and loving every yummy morsel.
Stir-fries are all kinds of awesome. They are flavoursome and you can mix and match the contents to suit your tastes.
This one is healthy and full of flavour.
