Ingredients
- 134.3 g Turkey, Ground, raw
- 136.6 g Rice, white, long-grain, cooked
- 65.1 g Fresh Pineapple, cubed
- 97.6 g Cucumber, sliced
- 14.1 g Nuts, almonds, slivered
- 52.7 g Fermented Anchovy Sauce (Mam Nem) and Aromatics mix
Method
- 01In a small bowl, mix the ground turkey with a splash of fish sauce, minced garlic, and a pinch of black pepper. Shape into small patties and sear in a hot pan over medium-high heat until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- 02Prepare the bowl base by placing the cooked rice vermicelli (or jasmine rice) in a deep bowl. Top with fresh, cooling cucumber slices and finely diced pineapple to provide the signature Central Vietnamese sweet-and-savory contrast.
- 03Spoon the seared turkey patties over the bed of rice.
- 04Drizzle generously with the Mam Nem sauce (fermented anchovy sauce mixed with chili, garlic, and lime juice).
- 05Garnish with a handful of fresh herbs like Thai basil, cilantro, and mint, then scatter the slivered almonds over the top for a necessary crunch. Serve immediately while the turkey is warm and the vegetables are crisp.
