Bun bo Nam Bo is Hanoi's Southern-style noodle salad: rice vermicelli topped with stir-fried beef, fresh herbs, crispy shallots, roasted peanuts and bean sprouts, all dressed in warm nuoc cham fish sauce.
Bun bo Nam Bo means 'Southern Vietnamese beef noodles', brought north after 1975 reunification. Bach Phuong restaurant on Hang Dieu has plated the dish since 1986, serving only this one dish from communal metal tables. The dish is now a Hanoi staple despite its Southern roots, dressed in nuoc cham fish sauce with peanuts, crispy shallots, herbs and bean sprouts.
