One of my favorite lunches is a Vietnamese rice noodle bowl. It’s fresh, it’s crunchy, and it’s bursting with awesome flavors and textures—I would eat one every day if I could. But because I shouldn’t, I created this dish with carrot noodles instead. The original rice bowls usually have julienned carrots, so that seemed like a natural derivation. You could spiralize all of the veggies this recipe calls for, but I like the difference in texture between carrot noodles, diced cucumbers, and sliced red bell pepper.

How to Make It
