Fire up the barbecue for this popular north Vietnamese dish. It's smoky with charred pork, crunchy with a refreshing noodle salad, and comforting with a light, sweet broth.
The chargrilled Roman and green beans add so much flavour to this green salad, it could easily make a light dinner or lunch. Just add crusty bread, a poached egg or some shredded chicken.
Pork works well with most fruit, and we've added a curry dressing for a touch of spice. Leftover ham (from Christmas, say) would work well in place of the pork.
A whole roasted fish is a fuss-free way to cook seafood for a crowd. We like to marinate the fish overnight so the flavour gets right into the flesh, plus it means one less thing to do on the day.
