Stir fried Vietnamese Pasta with Beef (Nui Xào Bò)
This is a typical snack in Vietnam. Like many other meals and drinks it was brought to the country by the Frech. Like the Pad Thai in Thailand it´s easy to make and absolutely delicious. You also can say this is a Vietnamese pasta dish. Add some more veggies if you like and serve it with more fresh chilis and salad! You can use Italien pasta if you don´t have Vietnamese Nui noodles. The original noodles contain some rice flour but the dish goes very well with the Italian pasta!
