You can serve Bo luc lac with steamed rice or even noodles. It is served on a bed of watercress, red onion, and cherry tomatoes which you can simply eat alone as a salad if you’d like! The added dipping sauce is optional if you would like an additional zing of citrus to the dish. Some Vietnamese restaurants serve shaking beef with sauteed onions, lettuce, cucumber, tomato, and red rice. You can opt for this way as well.
