Vermicelli bowls are forever one of my favorite meals because you can customize them any way you want.
Lately I have been calorie counting and these bowls are perfect for it. I go lighter on the noodles and heavier on protein and veggies for a lower calorie lower carb situation but honestly you can build it to fit whatever meal plan you are on. That is the beauty of it!
To keep the calories down this time I
1) Skipped the usual crushed peanuts fried shallots and scallion oil toppings
2) Did not drown the bowl in nuoc mam dipping sauce
3) Subbed monk fruit sweetener for sugar
The Beef and Shrimp Vermicelli bowl was still super flavorful and satisfying just a lighter version of a classic, and around 550 calories.
