Bun or Vietnamese Noodle Salad

Cook the noodles according to directions and set aside. Meanwhile, make the dressing. Combine lime juice, fish sauce, sugar, water, garlic, and chilies in a bowl and stir to dissolve the sugar. Set aside.

To prepare the salad, toss the cooked noodles with a handful of carrots, cucumbers, onions, cilantro and bean sprouts. Place a handful of chopped lettuce or cabbage in a bowl or on a plate. Place the noodle mixture on top of the lettuce then top with cooked shrimp, beef or pork. Serve with a couple of tablespoons of the dressing—I like to add my own dressing so perhaps allow your guests/family to drizzle their own. Serve immediately and enjoy!
