Noodles Slurping 1: Beef and Green Beans Vermicelli

For a hot summer day, this recipe is perfect for a quick healthy lunch or dinner.  The video might seem overwhelming to you with many steps, but trust me, it's really easy to make! You can also substitute the ground beef with ground chicken or even shrimps!

Also, the fish sauce I demonstrated in the video is something you should memorize since it will come in handy for many of the Vietnamese recipes.  I found that it is easier to make smaller portion of fish sauce. Plus there won't be left over! You can make it fresh every time you cook something that requires fish sauce dressing! I don't know about you, but I hate the idea of having plenty of left over fish sauce dressing that you might not needed.

For green beans, any green beans would do.  You can even use can or frozen green beans.  Whatever that will help you feel comfortable to the idea of cooking!  Can green beans is softer, so you don't have to chop it in half. Also the cooking time will be less since can green beans come precooked/boiled.

I hope you will enjoy it! Let me know if you do make it!
