Bo bun: the Vietnamese vermicelli salad
Vermicelli, stir-fried beef, crunchy vegetables, fresh herbs and spring rolls: discover bo bun, a complete, fresh and balanced Vietnamese dish.
Both a cold and a hot dish
Bo bun is a rice vermicelli salad served with stir-fried beef, fresh vegetables, aromatic herbs, crushed peanuts and often a crispy spring roll. The contrast between the warm elements and the fresh vegetables is what makes it so appealing.
The ingredients of a good bo bun
Rice vermicelli forms the base. Then come lettuce, cucumber, carrot, bean sprouts and herbs such as mint or coriander.
The beef is marinated in lemongrass and then stir-fried. Everything is dressed with a sweet, tangy and lightly spicy sauce that brings the flavours together.
Why people love it
Light, fragrant and filling, bo bun suits a quick lunch as well as a dinner. It illustrates Vietnamese cuisine, built on freshness and a balance of textures.
You can order it at Déli Bowl, to eat in, take away or have delivered in Nice.
