The Best Vietnamese Noodle Bowls by Kendra Plischke-Van Zile Vietnamese Noodle Bowls So, I've been on a bit of a Vietnamese kick recently.  Thankfully, the amazingly delicious, hole-in-the-wall spot not too terribly far from me delivers with Door Dash, so I can have tasty Bahn Mi, delicious noodle bowls, and yummy pho with the click of a button.  Buuuuttt....that can get pricey very quickly, so I've been experimenting with some Pinterest recipes the last few weeks. I've tried some winners, and this week, I set out to make my own meatless version for my lunches for the week.  I don't know about you, but I don't love meal prepping meat for my lunches.  Somehow, by the time Friday rolls around, the meat can be a bit...iffy, shall we say.  So, I needed a yummy version full of vegetables and kick without meat.  This was perfect.
