Searching for something different that’s healthy, delicious, and easy to make? Consider the Vietnamese Vermicelli Bowl! Vermicelli is a type of long noodle, thinner than spaghetti (except in Italy, where it is thicker than spaghetti). The term also describes various Asian noodles. Vietnamese vermicelli noodles have different forms, from very thin rice noodles to cellophane or ‘glass’ noodles. This dish often contains only raw veggies, but I like to add sautéed onions and mushrooms for additional flavor. Normally I would use fresh bean sprouts, but it’s been challenging to find due to Covid. Therefore, I sautéed a can of bean sprouts, which IMO are only good when they’re cooked. The ingredients by themselves are tasty and crunchy, but what makes it super yummy is the PEANUT SAUCE. I don't typically keep #peanutbutter in my pantry because the healthy raw version is expensive, plus I could easily overeat it. However, I do keep a jar of #PB2 peanut butter powder in case I want to make a yummy recipe like Peanut Sauce. #foodaddictiontip Makes 4 servings. · 8 cups cooked vermicelli noodles · 1 package mushrooms, sliced (optional) · 1 onion, sliced (optional) · 2 cups bean sprouts · 2 cups lettuce, shredded · 1 cucumber, shredded or sliced into sticks · 2 carrots, shredded or sliced into sticks · 2 cups broccoli, cut into florets (optional) · Peanut sauce (See recipe below) · Optional toppings: cilantro, basil, peanuts, or sesame seeds   1.
