COOK TIME - 30-40min
2 SERVINGS

All the flavours of the classic Vietnamese sandwich, in bowl form. What is not to love? Tender shrimp, flavoured with ginger, onion, garlic & Zesty glaze, join pickled cucumbers & carrots in topping fragrant jasmine rice. It’s exactly like the sandwich, except, dare we say, even better.
