Necessity is the mother of invention a.k.a. I haven’t have a real Vietnamese noodle bowl in like two years. So I made a crazy low-carb version and it’s everything. If you were eating like a normal human use normal noodles.
Nonnegotiable are the fresh lemon grass mint and cilantro. These herbs are what brought the flavors together and make this an amazing dish! My dad happens to have a lemon grass plant in the backyard along with cement.

Lately, I’ve had higher carbs to work with, so I’ve been replacing the Miracle Noodles with 100g cooked white rice. The macros with rice come out to 299 cals| 31.3P | 1.4F | 39.1C.
I’ve also been using slightly less Rice Vinegar (10g instead of 15g) & slightly less sweet chili sauce (40g instead of 50g) and this version is slightly less acidic.
You can purchase miracle noodles on Amazon or on their website.
