Spring vegetable bun cha with tofu

Years ago, when I worked in an office, one of my favourite lunchtime routines was to buy a bun cha noodle salad from a Vietnamese cafe on Theobald’s Road in London. If the weather was nice, I’d sit and eat it in Lincoln’s Inn Fields, savouring the sunshine and the sprightly flavours. Life has moved on, and my office is also my home, but when it comes to lunchtime, this is still one of my favourite things to make for eating outside.
