Bun cha, along with pho and banh mi is something of a cult at the moment. I made it myself and now know why it’s so popular; It’s a perfect balance of ingredients, texture and taste. A brilliant dish.
This is inspired by a recipe in the book, ‘Salad’ by Amy Nathan (1985).

A seasonal favourite ingredient of Dad's, so much so he made a 30 recipe series about the green spears! Try these recipes whilst asparagus can still be found locally.
The exact constituent parts of an authentic Niçoise salad is a matter of contentious debate. There must be as many points of view as there are cooks. So I am throwing my hat into the ring and offer up Niçoise with asparagus!!

This recipe uses a vignarola recipe but combines with pasta. A very good combination…

Dad's articles (and foodie stories to his recipes) are a funny and knowledgable journey through the lense of how pops views the world.
