Bún sườn nướng chay (Vietnamese rice noodle salad)

This is a vegetarian ("chay") version of bún gà nướng, a Vietnamese rice noodle ("bún") salad with grilled chicken ("gà nướng"). Chewy rice noodles, fresh vegetables and herbs, and a tangy, slightly spicy sauce combine with grilled or pan-seared 'chicken' to create a rich, flavorful, well-rounded dish. A marinade of lemongrass, sugar, garlic, and vegetarian fish sauce caramelizes around the 'chicken' as it sears, creating a sweet-and-savory crispy coating that perfectly complements the bright, herbacious salad. This dish can be made with Vietnamese sườn non chay, or with any meat substitute you have on hand.

Patreon | Tip jar

Serves 4.

Ingredients:

For the nước chấm (dipping sauce):

1/2 cup water

Juice of 1 lime (2 Tbsp)

2 Tbsp rice vinegar

1/4 cup vegan fish sauce

3 Tbsp sugar

1 red chili (de-seeded and sliced)

3 cloves garlic, minced

Fish sauce doesn’t take “like” fish, merely fermented and intensely salty. You can buy a bottle of ready-made vegan fish sauce from a Southeast Asian brand such as Au Lac, or you can make your own by combining the following ingredients:

For the vegan fish sauce (nước mắm):

3 Tbsp liquid from a jar of fermented bean curd

1 Tbsp white miso paste

1 Tbsp light soy sauce

1/4 tsp salt

For the chicken (gà):

300g vegan chicken substitute (I used Gardein), or 100g sườn non chay

2 cloves garlic

1 stalk lemongrass (or substitute lemon zest or a bit of preserved lemon pulp)

Juice of 1 lime (2 Tbsp)

1 Tbsp vegan fish sauce

1 Tbsp vegetarian oyster sauce

1 Tbsp Vietnamese soy sauce

2 tsp vegetarian 'chicken' broth concentrate, or bột nêm chay (optional)

2 Tbsp brown sugar

1 Tbsp neutral oil

Sườn non chay may be found in bags online or at your local Asian grocery–the bags will be labelled “sườn non chay” as well as “vegan meat slice,” “textured soy bean protein,” “vegetarian food,” or “vegan food.”

Bột nêm is a Vietnamese seasoning sold in powder or granule form. Vegetarian (“chay”) versions of the seasoning may contain shiitake mushroom, lotus seeds, carrots, tomatoes, and kohlrabi, as well as salt and MSG. It can be purchased in pouches or boxes from an Asian grocery store, or you can use any other vegetable stock powder.

For the salad:

300g vermicelli rice noodles

2 cups bean sprouts

1 large carrot (julienned)

1 seedless cucumber (julienned)

6 leaves romaine lettuce (julienned)

1 bunch fresh cilantro

1 bunch fresh rau răm (Vietnamese mint), or mint

2 stalks green onion, sliced

Handful of peanuts

Fresh Vietnamese herbs can be found in the refrigerator section of an Asian grocery store, particularly one that specializes in southeast Asian food. You can also experiment with whatever leafy herbs you have on hand.

Instructions:

For the chicken:

1. (If using sườn non chay:) soak meat slices in cool water until rehydrated. Squeeze out excess water and cut each slice in half along its shortest dimension, to get two blocks of the original height and width.

2. Slice lemongrass. Peel away any tough, dry outer leaves to reveal the yellow-green leaves within. Remove the root end of each stalk, as well as the tough green portion at the top of each stalk (reserve this latter to boil in stocks). Thinly slice the tender yellow portion of each stalk.

3. Mix all marinade ingredients in a large bowl. Marinate chicken for 20-30 minutes while you prepare the nước chấm and vegetables.

4. Remove the chicken from the bowl, leaving any excess marinade behind. Heat a couple teaspoons of oil on medium in a large pan then sear the chicken, turning once, until deeply golden brown on both sides (or use a charcoal grill). (If using a pan) filter marinade to remove lemongrass slices, then pour extra marinade over the chicken and cook, stirring often, until coated.

5. Cut chicken into strips, or as desired.

For the nước chấm:

1. Mix vinegar, lime juice, fish sauce, sugar, and water in a small saucepan. Heat, stirring, until the sugar has dissolved.

2. Remove from heat and add minced garlic and chili. Pour into a bowl and allow to cool.

For the salad:

1. Boil the vermicelli according to package directions. Drain and rinse with cool water to halt cooking. Toss with a little bit of neutral oil to avoid sticking.

2. Roast peanuts in a dry pan on medium-low, stirring often, until golden brown and fragrant.

3. Julienne carrot, cucumber, and lettuce. Roughly chop herbs.

4. Plate vermicelli followed by vegetables, herbs, chicken, and peanuts. Spoon some nước chấm over the salad and set remainder to the side to serve.

.

4. Nam Jim Ajaad (Thai Cucumber Relish)

Nam Jim Ajaad is a dipping sauce with vinegar as its main component, providing a sour flavor. Salt and sugar are added to give it a slightly sweet and salty taste. Key ingredients like sliced cucumber, chili, and shallots help create a well-rounded flavor and reduce the sharpness of the vinegar.

Nam Jim Jaew reflects the flavors of northeastern (Isan) Thai cuisine, where grilled meats are a staple. The use of toasted rice powder is a distinctive feature of Isan cooking, adding a unique texture and nutty flavor to the sauce.

.

7. Prik Nam Pla (Spicy Thai Sauce)

Prik Nam Pla is a staple Thai sauce known for its strong, savory, and spicy flavor. It's a simple yet powerful condiment that is essential to many Thai meals. The combination of fish sauce and chilies reflects the Thai preference for strong, umami-rich condiments that can be adjusted to individual tastes.

.

8. Nam Jim Look-Chin (Tamarind Dipping Sauce)

Nam Jim Look-Chin is a popular Thai tamarind-based dipping sauce characterized by its sweet and spicy flavor that pairs perfectly with grilled meatballs or fried snacks.

Thai dipping sauces are an essential part of the culinary landscape, each offering a unique combination of flavors that enhances the dishes they accompany.

Sababa Falafel Shop, 11011 Brookhurst St, Garden Grove, CA 92840

I’m thankful that Sababa has such a large exterior sign that says falafel shop! Sababa is a popular Palestinian falafel shop. They serve halal meat. Fresh falafel is made throughout the day. Choose from dipping bowls, bowls (create your own: rice or lettuce, falafel or chicken, unlimited toppings), pita sandwiches with unlimited toppings, desserts, sides, and bottled drinks. A falafel pita is $9.99. They use extra thick Jerusalem pita bread or Jerusalem bread.

The pickles, salads, slaws, spreads, sauces, etc. are on display. You can pick and choose the toppings. Your order is assembled in front of you (like at Chipotle).

While I was placing my order, I was given a few piping hot round falafel balls. The balls were crispy on the outside but not heavily fried. They were made with chickpeas and spices but not herbs.

Falafel bowl with all the toppings ($11.99): they really like pickles! The bowl came with seasoned rice (yellow), 6 falafel balls drizzled with tahini, slaw, onions, lots of pickles, garlic sauce, tomato, onion, & cucumber salad, hot sauce, etc. The hot sauce was pretty salty on its own but when I mixed everything together it was fine (the salads were not salty). Loved how fresh and crunchy, sour and tangy the bowl was.

Mr. Froyo said the hummus was thick and had strong tahini flavor but wasn’t as thick as Israeli hummus. He enjoyed his meal.

The portions were generous and the prices reasonable. Plus, the food is assembled to order and ready quickly. And there’s a rewards program. Love this place! If only we lived closer. The shop is small with limited seating outside and a shared parking lot. The sign said there was more parking in the back.

5 out of 5 stars

It’s a healthy, satisfying dish that exemplifies the simplicity and freshness of Mediterranean cuisine.

4. Seafood Paella

Our take on the classic Spanish dish, seafood paella is a Mediterranean feast in a bowl. This iconic dish features a fragrant saffron rice base cooked with a variety of fresh seafood, including shrimp, mussels, and squid. Flavored with garlic, tomatoes, and smoked paprika, the rice is infused with the briny taste of the sea and the warmth of Mediterranean spices. Each bite offers a delightful combination of tender seafood and savory rice, creating a dish that is as visually stunning as it is flavorful. Paella is a true representation of Spain’s love for communal eating, making it the perfect dish for sharing with friends and family.

5. Vegetarian Moussaka

Moussaka is a beloved dish in Greece and across the Mediterranean, and our vegetarian version delivers the same comforting flavors without the meat. Layers of roasted eggplant, zucchini, and potatoes are combined with a spiced tomato sauce and topped with a creamy béchamel sauce. Baked until golden and bubbly, this dish is hearty, flavorful, and satisfying. The rich, creamy texture of the béchamel combined with the earthiness of the vegetables makes this vegetarian moussaka a standout dish for plant-based eaters and meat lovers alike.

5. Drizzle with Dressings

Finally, choose one of Cava’s house-made dressings to tie your bowl together. Some top choices include:

Lemon Herb Tahini: A creamy and zesty dressing that pairs well with nearly everything.

Greek Vinaigrette: A lighter, olive oil-based dressing with oregano and a hint of garlic.

Skhug: A spicy herb-based sauce for those who love heat.

As for sides, consider trying their warm Pita Chips served with hummus or the seasonal Roasted Vegetables for a nutrient-rich addition to your meal.
