Vermicelli noodles topped with chargrilled pork, crunchy veggies, lime and peanuts. A healthy and light meal bursting with freshness and packed with so much yum! Vietnamese Noodle Bowl is the epitome of great flavor and texture.
Grilled Pork Marinade
1. In a 2 cup mortar and pestle combine, crush and grind brown sugar, fish sauce, soy sauce, garlic, shallots, lemon grass and spicy chili crisp to create the marinate. Soak the sliced pork in the prepared marinate (I use the mortar and pestle but can use a zip lock bag if needed)
2. Grill pork on a grill pan or outdoor grill. Pork can be pan-fried on a skillet as well. Grill under indirect heat (if using charcoal grill), or medium/low heat (if using grill pan, electric grill, or skillet) to make sure the insides of the pork is completely cook. Note that because there is sugar in the marinate, pork will brown/burn quickly on the outside.
Pickled Vegetables
1. Bring hot water and sugar (see ingredients under "Vegetables and Garnishes") together in a bowl to dissolve sugar.
2. Add rice vinegar. Stir to combine.
3. Add shredded cucumber and shredded carrots to bowl with vinegar mixture. Or, if desire, separate vinegar mixture into two bowls and separately pickle cucumber and carrots.
4. Press the carrots and cucumber down so that they are completely submerged in the mixture.
5. Pickle for 30-60 minutes.
6. Drain vinegar mixture.
Other Vegetables and Garnishes
Prep/chop the rest of the vegetables and garnishes – lettuce, cilantro, and peanuts.
Slice lime into a few wedges.
Noodles
Cook noodles base on package instructions. If noodles need to sit for a while before combining with the other ingredients, rinse them in cold water to prevent them from sticking to each other, continuing to cook and turning mushy.
Sauce (Nuoc Cham)
1. Combine hot water and brown sugar to completely dissolve sugar.
2. Then add fish sauce, lime juice and spicy chili crisp. Stir to combine.
Combine
Bring noodles to bowl, and top with grilled pork, vegetables, and garnishes. Serve with sauce and enjoy!
