Bun Ga Nuong
This Vietnamese noodle salad recipe, or bun ga nuong in Vietnam, is seriously a wonder dish. We have a number of dietary restrictions and food allergies amongst the team, but this was one delicious meal that we were all able to enjoy! It is light and refreshing, and you can easily leave outthe peanuts for a nut-free option. We used tamari to make this gluten free, but of course you can use soy sauce instead. Because this dish is generally served cold, we love it as a healthy lunch that you can pack and take on the go. Plus, it is surprisingly easy to throw all of these ingredients together for a quick dinner during the week!

This is our new weeknight go to meal. Even great with shrimp pork or tofu. The marinade is perfectly balanced

I make a veganized version of this. Since I don’t have meat to flavor I use the dressing for the meat for the salad instead, I add some of the flavors from the salad dressing as well. I don’t use fish sauce of course, but I’ll use a little extra tamari instead with some water. It’s delicious, fresh and filling. I will probably will add baked tofu to this for protein. Thanks

Looks delicious. I have heard you need to soak the noodles first then boil so they don’t stick. Do you do that ?

No we didn’t soak the noodles first, but will have to try next time!

This is one of my favorite Vietnamese dishes, cant wait to try creating at home! My question here is, where do you find the vermicelli noodles? The grocery store, ethnic section, typically has the rice noodles. To find vermicelli rice noodles are these found in specialty store? Second question, which brand are you using for Fish Sauce? Fish sauce is a dark thick sauce correct?

This one is SO tasty! I found vermicelli noodles at my local grocery store (Taste of Thai brand, I believe?) And I use Red Boat fish sauce 🙂

I order thisversion withegg rolls instead of chicken all the time at our local Vietnamese restaurant because it’s so delicious. I’ve been wanting to make this but never knew what was in the dressing. I’m making this for lunch since it’s going to be another hot day in Oklahoma in May!

This was excellent! I live Vietnamese food and this came really close to the local noodle house.
The only things I changed were: used a bit of lemon powder instead of lemon grass and added some ginger to the marinade.Reply

I’m so glad you liked this! It’s definitely one of my favorites. I’ll have to add ginger to the marinade next time.

I made it this week without garlic, except what was in the sweet chilli sauce, adding some chopped bell peppers. It turned out great! If you aren’t into cilantro as much as I am, maybe use less and try using a blender to mix it into the dressing instead of on top. The chicken as so good, that i made extra and made Thai pizza with it. I will be using it as my go to Thai marinade from now on!

Has anyone tried making this without the garlic? How could I adjust this for a garlic intolerant relative? Maybe more tamari?

I haven’t tried without garlic. Shallots would be a good replacement if that’s not an issue, or onion. And you could try more tamari, I can’t imagine a bit more would hurt 🙂
