Noodle Bowls

Noodle Bowls

Everyone loves these noodle bowls and makes it a point to join us for dinner if they know they’re being served. Though this is a traditional Vietnamese dish, I find it extremely difficult to get my hands on a good fish sauce. I’ve learned that, in a pinch, the soy and wasabi dressing is so much easier to keep on hand. I highly recommend each person combine the soy sauce and wasabi individually (sushi-style), as everyone has his/her own version of what proportion of wasabi they enjoy and can tolerate.
