Bun tom nuong is a Vietnamese dish of grilled or charbroiled shrimp, usually marinated in fish sauce, sugar, and garlic, served over vermicelli rice noodles. It's associated with central and southern Vietnam and is typically garnished with lettuce, bean sprouts, scallions, crushed peanuts, and nuoc cham dipping sauce, balancing tender noodles, charred shrimp, crunchy vegetables, and a tangy-sweet sauce. The shrimp can be swapped for other proteins, such as pork, beef, squid, or tofu, and the dish is commonly served as a light lunch or main course.
