Instructions
  1. Cook the vermicelli noodles according to package instructions until tender. Rinse under cold water, drain, and set aside. In a saucepan, heat the chicken broth over medium heat until simmering. Season with fish sauce, sugar, salt, and pepper to taste. Thinly slice the chicken breast and season with salt and pepper. Set aside. Beat the eggs and cook them into thin omelettes. Roll them up and slice into thin strips. Alternatively, poach the eggs until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Set aside.
  2. In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the dried shrimp flakes until fragrant and slightly crispy. Transfer to a mortar and pestle, grind into a coarse powder, and set aside.
  3. Divide the cooked vermicelli noodles evenly between two serving bowls. Arrange the sliced chicken breast, omelette strips (or poached eggs), and fresh herbs on top of the noodles. Ladle the hot chicken broth over the ingredients in each bowl, ensuring they are fully submerged.
  4. Garnish the Bun Thang with a sprinkle of toasted dried shrimp flakes. Serve immediately with a side of bean sprouts, shredded lettuce, lime wedges, and additional fresh herbs on the side. Encourage diners to customize their bowls with condiments like fish sauce, chili sauce, or sliced chili peppers according to their preference.
