The flavor profile of a vermicelli bowl is a delightful balance of fresh, savory, sweet, sour, and spicy elements.
The dish features the cool, clean taste of rice vermicelli noodles, often topped with savory grilled meats like pork (Bun Thit Nuong) or chicken, marinated in lemongrass, garlic, and fish sauce. Fresh herbs such as mint, cilantro, and basil provide aromatic complexity. Crisp vegetables like shredded lettuce, pickled carrots and daikon radish offer textural contrast and refreshing flavors.
