bowl of Vermicelli and BeefThis is my version of Vietnamese rice vermicelli and beef also known as "bun bo hue" made in an instant hot pot!

This is healthier to make at home versus going to a restaurant and can serve up to 4 people (average cost $3-5 a person depending what you already have at home, compared to $9-10 + tip at a restaurant). Plus no broth is necessary!
