Thank you, Andrea, for the extensive guide to making bun rice noodle salad! We have a number of pho restaurants in this area; bun is my go-to lunch (hard to resist a bowl of good chicken pho, but there is something so crave-able about bun salad, even in winter).
I traveled to Charlotte NC for about a year for work, and stayed in a hotel near a strip mall (and near the firm for whom I was consulting). In the strip mall was an amazing Vietnamese grocery store, full of fragrance from a vast array of herbs and greens. Lots of sausage, meat, seafood, fish and other goodies. Prepared condiments and sauces. Unfortunately I didn't have access to cooking facilities so I just went in every visit and smelled and wished I could read the labels.
Can you grow la lot? I have no green thumbs but la lot, fish mint and culantro grow wildly in my yard without me doing anything. But I can't ever grow chives. I guess having the right weather helps.
