Alright, folks, let's talk about my all-time favorite Vietnamese Grilled Pork recipe (bun-thit-nuong). Trust me, this dish is a game-changer! Now, grab your pork, rice vermicelli, egg rolls, shallots, garlic, sugar, fish sauce, soy sauce, pepper, and olive oil. Here's a tip: when slicing the pork thinly, slightly freeze it for easier cutting. I once forgot this step and ended up with pork slices as thick as my grandma's old flip phone - not ideal, let me tell you! Now, mince that garlic and shallots like a boss. Mix them in a bowl with sugar, fish sauce, soy sauce, pepper, and oil until the sugar dissolves. Let the meat marinate for at least 1 hour - or do it overnight if you can resist the temptation to dig in right away (I never can). Oh, and a little secret from my kitchen to yours: grill those pork slices until they're slightly charred for that extra burst of flavor. Your taste buds will thank you later, I promise. So there you have it - a plateful of Vietnamese goodness coming your way. Enjoy!

Directions

1
Slice the uncooked pork thinly, about ⅛". It helps to slightly freeze it (optional).
2
Mince garlic and shallots. Mix in a bowl with sugar, fish sauce, thick soy sauce, pepper, and oil until sugar dissolves.
3
Marinate the meat for 1 hour, or overnight for better results.
4
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.
5
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.
