Vermicelli Bowls with Filet and Nuoc Cham are a delicious and fresh meal packed with lots of bright flavors!

I love this recipe because it is super craveable (hello noodles!) and has super bright, fresh flavors! It looks so gorgeous on the plate you’d think it took hours to make but this one comes together super quick thanks to quick cookings noodles and steak. You can easily throw this together with just a minimal amount of prep!

What is Nuoc Cham?

Nuoc Cham is a super yummy Vietnamese sauce. It is vinegar-based and full of umami flavor from the fish sauce and gets a slightly spicy kick from the bird’s eye chili. I could pour this stuff on everything! It packs so much flavor and is super easy to make ahead of time and keep in the fridge.

Vermicelli Bowls

I love bowls that have vermicelli noodles especially when they are paired with Nuoc Cham and fresh herbs. The rice noodles really soak up all those flavors! The fresh cucumber and carrots add a nice crunch. If you’re craving more crunch, you can add some thinly sliced iceberg lettuce in place of some or all of the noodles.
