Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 25

1.5 lb chicken thigh fillets
1 tbsp garlic (chopped)
1/2 sliced of medium-size onion/shallot
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 stalk of lemongrass (trimmed and chopped)
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 1/2 tsp dark soy sauce
1 1/2 tbsp fish sauce
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1/2 cup fish sauce
1/4 cup rice vinegar
5 tbsp water
3 tbsp brown sugar
1 small garlic clove (finely chopped)
1 Thai red chili (finely chopped)
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
7 oz dried vermicelli noodles
2 cucumber (julienned)
2 carrots (julienned)
5 cups iceberg lettuce (finely sliced)
3 cups bean sprouts
A handful of mint leaves
A handful of cilantro/coriander
Sliced red chili (optional)
2 Lime wedges

Steps:

  • In a blender, combine sugar, garlic, shallots, and lemongrass and process to a fine mixture. Then, add the pepper, soy sauce, fish sauce, and oil. Blend to combine well to get that smooth texture.
  • Place the chicken in a ziplock bag, pour the marinade mixture. Toss and turn to coat the chicken well. Seal the ziplock bag and marinate for about an hour or refrigerate up to 24 hours (recommended).
  • Once ready to use, let the marinated chicken sit at room temperature or 30 minutes to remove some chill before grilling.
  • Preheat a grill to medium-high. Grill the chicken for 6-8 minutes turning them on both sides or until cooked.
  • Nick with a knife to test the doneness and transfer to a plate once ready.
  • In a bowl, combine all the ingredients and stir well to dissolve the sugar. You can adjust the spiciness, the sweetness and lime according to your taste. Set aside for 20 minutes to let the ingredients mend together.
  • Soak the vermicelli noodles in hot water (or check the package instructions). But I cooked the vermicelli for 7 minutes as per package instructions. Drain and rinse in cold water to stop the noodles from sticking together.
  • Arrange the noodles in a bowl, top with the toppings and the sliced chicken. Drizzle with the Nuoc Cham sauce (2-3 tbsp or more according to your taste) and serve with lime wedges.

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 24

1 lb pork shoulder, sliced thin
1 tablespoon diced garlic
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup sake
1/4 cup fish sauce
1/4 cup oil
1/2 teaspoon five-spice powder
fresh ground pepper
1/2 cup fish sauce
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup hot water
1 teaspoon crushed garlic
1 -2 Thai chile
1 slice lime
4 cups rice vermicelli
2 cups iceberg lettuce, chopped
2 cups bean sprouts
1 cup mint, chopped
1 cup cilantro, chopped
1 carrot, julienned
1 cucumber, julienned
1/2 cup chopped peanuts
hoisin sauce, to taste

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!
  • Notes: Chicken, shrimp, or even tofu make wonderful substitutions for pork in this recipe.
  • Use as many or as few of the suggested vegetables and herbs as desired (or even make your own additions!).

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables in your salad to add flavor and texture. Some good options include carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes, bean sprouts, and herbs like cilantro and mint.
  • To make the chicken marinade, use a combination of soy sauce, fish sauce, lemongrass, garlic, and ginger. This will give the chicken a delicious flavor.
  • When grilling the chicken, be sure to cook it over medium heat so that it doesn't dry out. You can also use a grill pan if you don't have a grill.
  • To make the nước chấm, combine fish sauce, lime juice, sugar, and garlic. This sauce is essential for adding flavor to the salad.
  • Serve the salad with a side of rice or noodles.

Bún gà nướng is a delicious and refreshing salad that is perfect for a summer meal. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you are a fan of Vietnamese cuisine or just looking for a new salad recipe, this dish is sure to please.
