I love the flavors of this Vietnamese slaw. It’s herby, bright, crunchy and fresh and I could eat it all the time! It’s great with a grilled meat or on it’s own.
It would be great on any bah mi sandwich or this braised short rib bao that is pictured. I also think it would be delicious in a spring roll for a fun take on a traditional filling.
Here are a few other recipes you may enjoy this slaw with:
Bahn Mi with Chicken
Instant Pot Chinese Braised Short Ribs
Thai Chicken Lettuce Cups
