This low-carb version of Vietnamese Noodle Bowls is light, fresh and bursting with flavor. This noodle salad is a perfect summer meal.

Low Carb Vietnamese Noodle Bowls are so light and are bursting with flavor. Swapping low carb konjac or shirataki noodles for vermicelli lets you enjoy this recipe even if you follow a keto lifestyle. The shiritaki noodles are actually more like the rice noodles at our favorite Vietnamese restaurants!

Vietnamese noodle bowls are so simple to make at home!Marinate some chicken thighs (yes, you can use chicken breasts if you prefer, but it's so much better with the thighs). The marinade in the recipe is also great on pork chops and flank steaks. You can substitute any of those meats for a change.

One of my favorite tricks when feeding kids is the “bar” concept.No, not the “open bar” concept (although there are days when I want a glass of wine or three).I’m talking about something more like a “salad bar.”Basically all the different ingredients are put out on the counter in bowls. Then each person gets to choose the things they like. And you don’t have to hear “but I don’t like (fill in the blank)” from anyone!

Where do I purchase the noodles? In supermarket or specialized store?

  Some grocery stores carry them in the chilled produce section with the egg roll wrappers. I've seen them on Amazon also.
