If you love the Grilled Lemongrass Beef, you will love it with Bun (dry rice vermicelli in Vietnamese dipping sauce). This dish is a signature dish of Vietnam.
If you have tried Vietnamese food, chances are you have tried Bun, or dry rice vermicelli in Vietnamese dipping sauce (fish sauce) and topped with either grilled beef, BBQ shrimp, sugarcane shrimp or a combination of them. Besides pho and bun bo hue, this has got to be one of the most common and favorite dishes at Vietnamese restaurants. It’s not hard to figure out why this is. It’s so versatile and easy to prepare, the savory grilled lemongrass beef with refreshing herbs and vermicelli is refreshing and appetizing. It’s not only tasty, but very healthy and comes with all sorts of vegetables and herbs. This is a noodle dish that is both filling and satisfying.
The recipe for Grilled Lemongrass Beef can also be replaced with Chicken or Pork. The lemongrass marinate works well with all types of meat.

This looks extremely good. I’d love to try but my hubs doesn’t take beef. Can I use chicken instead?
June 11, 2012 at 4:17 PM
Thanks Submerryn! The recipe for grilled lemongrass beef can be replaced with chicken or pork, the marinate works well with all meat. Best to use chicken thigh fillet or for healthier options use chicken breast. Do update me how the recipe turn out for you.

That’s a bowl of comfort and deliciousness. I would trade my olive bread with your vermicelli! Yummy!
