20 minYam Vietnam is one of those Vietnamese salads that proves you don’t need heat from a stove to build serious flavor.
Cooked pork and shrimp get tossed in a punchy dressing of lime juice, vinegar, garlic, ground coriander, and dried chili. Sliced cucumber adds cool crunch, and a scattering of fresh mint ties the whole thing together with that unmistakable Southeast Asian brightness.
It comes together in 20 minutes flat and eats like a light, refreshing meal on a hot day.
Kitchen Tips
- Use leftover roast pork or poached pork loin here. The dressing does all the heavy lifting on flavor, so the meat just needs to be tender.
- Let the salad sit for 5 minutes after tossing so the dressing can soak into the pork and shrimp.
- Serve over a bed of butter lettuce or with rice vermicelli noodles on the side for a more substantial meal.
