vietnamese lemongrass chicken bún bowl
i’ll never turn down a bowl of pho, but sometimes i’m craving something a little lighter, fresher, & crunchier. 🥢🌿
this bún bowl is one of my favorite customizable meals—layered with lemongrass chicken, crisp veggies, fresh herbs, & plenty of sauce. i use hearts of palm noodles for a lower-carb, higher-fiber twist that still makes for a satisfying, balanced meal.
fresh, vibrant, high-protein, naturally gluten-free, & packed with flavor in every bite.
