Allergens: Eggs, Fish, Gluten, Nuts, Peanuts, Soya
Bún thịt nướng: grilled pork over noodles with herbs and pickles.
Ingredients
- Olive oil 3 tbsp
- Black pepper 0.5 tbsp
- Sugar 0.25 cup
- Soy sauce 0.5 tbsp
- Fresh mint
- Cucumber
- Garlic 1.5 tbsp
- Shallots 3 tbsp
- Pork chops 1.5 pounds
- Fish sauce 1 tbsp
- Rice vermicelli 1 package
- Egg rolls
- Peanuts
Method
- Slice the uncooked pork thinly, about ⅛".
- It helps to slightly freeze it (optional).
- Mince garlic and shallots.
- Mix in a bowl with sugar, fish sauce, thick soy sauce, pepper, and oil until sugar dissolves.
- Marinate the meat for 1 hour, or overnight for better results.
- Bake the pork at 375F for 10-15 minutes or until about 80% cooked.
- Finish cooking by broiling in the oven until a nice golden brown color develops, flipping the pieces midway.
- Assemble your bowl with veggies, noodles, and garnish.
- Many like to mix the whole bowl up and pour the fish sauce on top, but I like to make individual bites and sauce it slowly.
