_{^{Vegan Vietnamese Grilled Pork Noodles Bowl (Bún chả chay) originates from Hanoi and is very popular in Northern Vietnamese cities. It's commonly served at street vendors as a lunch or dinner option. Fresh, light, herbaceous yet decadent and nourishing!}}

As I am from Hanoi myself, I decided to make a plant-based version of this dish that is so close to my heart. For this recipe, I am collaborating with Ohmungood - a Swedish mung bean-based food product. I love their products because they are simple to make, versatile and made from 100% natural ingredients (mung beans, beetroot and spices). It's a great choice for both health, the environment, and the animals!

Their mung bean-based bits product is a great shortcut to the traditional meatballs used in Bún chả. I will soon create a homemade version of these meatballs as well. For now, enjoy the recipe, yummy pictures and do not forget to leave a review or share your creation and tag me on IG (@veggieanh). Thank you so much for supporting my work!
