When talking about well-loved breakfast choices, xôi mặn (or savory sticky rice) is the top choice for many people in Vietnam. Sadly, it is often overlooked in America as bánh mì has taken all of the spotlights, so let's dive in and give this dish the credit it deserves.

Bún Bò Xả Ớt, or lemongrass chili beef vermicelli bowl, is a traditional Vietnamese dish of thinly sliced beef and rice noodles. This bowl is packed with flavorful spices and fresh herbs for a tasty dish that is surprisingly light, refreshing, and perfect for warmer weather.
