With its origins residing within the bustling streets of Hanoi, bun dac biet - meaning a combination of different meats and toppings - is a popular Vietnamese street food staple. Join Soy Dara as she guides you through constructing your own bowl as you craft handmade bun tuoi (vermicelli rice noodles) and learn how to layer them with flavorful sides. You’ll make bò nướng lá lốt (grilled beef wrapped in wild betel leaf leaves); ga xao sa (lemongrass chicken); and tom rim (caramelized shrimp) along with cha gio (pork egg rolls). To complete the menu you’ll also make nuoc cham (fish sauce dressing) and do chua (pickled daikon and carrots).
