Bun Thit Nuong Grilled Pork And Vermicelli Salad


Bun thit nuong, bbq pork with rice vermicelli, is a dish commonly found in american vietnamese restaurants and is one of my favorite meals. i finally decided to try making it myself and discovered this recipe, making a few tweaks to suit my own tastes.

Steps


Mix all thit nuong ingredients together.
Refrigerate and marinate for at least half an hour.
While meat is marinading , mix nuoc mam ingredients together , stirring until sugar is completely dissolved.
Set aside.
Boil vermicelli according to package directions , draining once cooked through.
Remove pork from the fridge and cook using desired method.
Grilling over an open flame is best , but i usually cook it on the stove over medium-high heat , then broil it in the oven for a few minutes.
In individual serving bowls , place vermicelli , vegetables , and herbs.
Top with pork and chopped peanuts.
Drizzle nuoc cham and hoisin sauce on top , as desired.
Dig in and enjoy !.
Use as many or as few of the suggested vegetables and herbs as desired.
