Bun Bo Nam Bo

When I lived in France, I would eat Bun Bo Nam Bo at least once a week. One of my good friends from Prague (which, fun fact, has a huge Vietnamese community) put me onto this dish when we were in high school and I’ve been obsessed ever since. I never thought to make it at home until I moved to Miami and couldn’t find a good Vietnamese place near by. After doing some research, I found that this recipe stays pretty true to the traditional version. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do <3
