Vermicelli Grilled Chicken, Beef Or Pork

total time:: 30 min

Makes 6 bowls

Not only is this a healthful treat for lunch or dinner, if you were a brave one you could eat it for breakfast... I have and it is so, so good! Fragrant beef, chicken or pork... which ever way you make it, it is all good! Makes a wonderful salad. I like the combination of the warm meat and the cold salad!
