Bún Chả Giò Chay (Vietnamese Noodles and Spring Rolls Bowls)

Sharing is caring!

Jump to Recipe Jump to Video

These Bún Chả Giò Chay or Vietnamese Noodles and Fried Vegetarian Spring Rolls Bowls are composed of rice noodles and egg rolls on a bed of shredded lettuce with fresh herbs and pickled radish and carrot.

This Bún Chả Giò Chay is also delicious with some sliced cucumber for that extra crunch. This bowl is finished with a vietnamese dipping sauce or nuoc  cham, and for this version I of course used me homemade vegan ‘fish’ sauce.

WHAT IS BUN CHA GIO?

‘Bun’ translates to noodles in Vietnamese while ‘cha gio’ are vietnamese egg rolls. Chay means vegetarian. So ‘cha gio chay’ are vegetarian spring rolls.

RICE NOODLES OR VERMICELLI

The rice noodles or rice vermicelli are made of rice flour, water, and sometimes with salt.

They come in bundles. For this recipe, I cooked 2 bundles to divide into 2 bowls.

These are slightly translucent when dried.

I simply boiled them. As they cook they will turn into a solid white colour.

Run the noodles through water to remove excess starch and also stop these rice noodles from cooking.

Cha Gio Chay (Vegetarian Fried Spring or Egg Rolls)

You can find my homemade spring rolls recipe here. You can also opt to use egg rolls of your choice!

Golden brown and crisp!

I sliced my rolls for this noodle bowl but you can serve them whole too.

I just like smaller bite-sized pieces to go with the rest of the bowl.

Pickled Daikon Radish and Carrots (Đồ Chua)

I love the added crunch, texture, and acidity these give to the bowl.

You can find my homemade recipe here.

ASSEMBLING THE BUN CHA GIO CHAY

Add the shredded lettuce

Add the noodles

Add the fresh herbs and cucumber

Add the spring rolls (cha gio chay) and pickled vegetables (do chua)

Pour the vegan ‘fish’ sauce or dipping sauce into the bowl. This is inspired by nuoc cham!

Mix well.

Enjoy your bun cha gio chay! Find the recipe for this noodle and spring rolls bowl below! ❤️
