RICE NOODLES WITH SEARED PORK, CARROTS AND HERBS



Rice Noodles With Seared Pork, Carrots and Herbs image

Vietnamese-style marinated pork chops are often served whole with rice noodles, herbs and a dipping sauce. This version mixes all the components, infusing the noodles, sliced meat and vegetables with the sauce and keeping the noodles tender even after a day in the fridge. Dark, robust maple syrup takes the place of the traditional dark caramel in a nod to autumn (and as a weeknight shortcut to save you the hassle of browning sugar). The pork takes only a few minutes to cook, the noodles about 3, so this whole dish comes together really fast.

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/3 cup fish sauce
1/4 cup dark, pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons grapeseed or other neutral oil
Black pepper
2 large shallots, thinly sliced (3/4 cup)
1 long red finger chile, thinly sliced (1/3 cup)
3 small garlic cloves, minced (1 tablespoon)
4 thin (1/2-inch) boneless pork chops (3/4 to 1 pound total)
1/3 cup fresh lime juice (from about 3 limes), plus lime wedges for serving
3 carrots, peeled and julienned (2 cups)
Kosher salt
8 to 9 ounces thin rice vermicelli noodles
2 packed cups torn fresh herbs, such as cilantro, basil and dill (2 1/2 ounces), plus more for garnish

Steps:

  • Whisk the fish sauce, syrup, 1 tablespoon oil, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Stir in the shallots, chile and garlic. Transfer 2 tablespoons liquid to a large shallow dish and add the pork. Turn to evenly coat and let stand until ready to cook.
  • Stir the lime juice into the sauce in the bowl. Add the carrots and toss until evenly coated. Let stand.
  • Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the pork with salt and pepper. Heat the remaining tablespoon oil in the skillet and swirl to coat the bottom. Add the pork and cook, turning once, until seared and just rosy in the center, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and let stand.
  • Put the noodles in the boiling water, stir well, and remove from the heat. Let stand until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain very well, then transfer to the sauce in the bowl. Toss until evenly coated.
  • Cut the pork into thin slices and add to the noodles with any accumulated juices. Toss well. Toss in the herbs until well mixed. The mixture may look a bit soupy. As it sits and cools, the noodles will absorb the liquid. Serve hot, warm, at room temperature or cold, with more herbs and lime wedges.

RICE NOODLES WITH SPICY PORK AND HERBS



Rice Noodles With Spicy Pork and Herbs image

This cold rice-noodle dish, dressed in vinegar and chile oil and topped with spicy pork, herbs and peanuts, has roots in Yunnan, a southwestern Chinese province, where the garnish may vary according to the kitchen and season. The dish is quick to put together but can be served at a leisurely pace: Plate it, or set all of the components on the table and let people put together their own bowls the way they like, to their taste. The chef Simone Tong, who runs a Yunnan-inspired noodle restaurant in Manhattan, makes her version with ground pork, peanuts and a mix of fresh herbs but adds raw breakfast radishes and lacto-fermented pickles as well, for extra crunch and flavor. Feel free to do the same, or not; it's in the spirit of the dish to improvise with what's in season and what's on hand.

Provided by Tejal Rao

Time 20m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 pound thin, round rice noodles
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon black vinegar
1 tablespoon chile oil (like Lao Gan Ma brand)
1 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon canola or other neutral oil
1/2 pound ground pork
1 teaspoon salt
2 garlic cloves, sliced
1 1-inch piece ginger, chopped
2 scallions, light parts chopped, green parts reserved for garnish
1 tablespoon yacai (Sichuan preserved vegetables, optional)
Handful of herbs like mint, basil and cilantro leaves, washed
1/4 cup salted, roasted peanuts, chopped
4 breakfast radishes, sliced (optional)

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to boil, and cook noodles according to instructions. Drain noodles while running under cold water, until they are cool to the touch. Set aside. Mix dressing by whisking rice vinegar, soy sauce, black vinegar, chile oil and sugar until sugar dissolves. Set aside.
  • Cook the pork topping: Heat oil in saucepan over medium heat, and add ground pork and salt. Pan-fry, breaking meat into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until no pink parts and no liquid remain in the pan, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, ginger and scallion whites, and stir occasionally until the raw smell has disappeared and the meat is starting to brown in places, about 5 minutes. Add the vegetables, if using, along with a tablespoon of water, and cook for 2 or 3 minutes more, or until mixture is darkened and thick. Set aside.
  • When you're ready to serve, divide cool, drained noodles into four individual bowls, and top each with a tablespoon of vinegar dressing followed by a pile of ground pork, herbs, peanuts and radishes, to taste. Serve with any remaining garnish, and additional chile oil and chile-oil solids, on the side.

GRILLED PORK WITH RICE NOODLES AND HERBS



Grilled Pork with Rice Noodles and Herbs image

The ingredients for this recipe resemble those for rice noodle bowl with beef (page 224). But instead of having big assembled bowls, diners compose their own small bowls, soaking the tender, sweet, salty pork in sauce, tearing up lettuce and herbs, adding some noodles, and then nibbling on their creations. Traditionally, a meal of bún cha is unhurried and encourages long conversation. A famous Hanoi rendition of this northern Viet specialty combines sliced pork belly and pork patties made from chopped shoulder, but I prefer a less complicated and healthier version that uses marinated pork slices. A grill best mimics the traditional brazier used in Vietnam, but the pork slices can also be roasted in the top third of a 475°F oven until nicely browned (about 9 minutes on each side).

Yield serves 4 as a one-dish meal, or 6 to 8 with 2 or 3 other dishes

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 large shallot, chopped
2 1/2 teaspoons sugar
3/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon Caramel Sauce (page 316) or honey
2 1/2 tablespoons fish sauce
3 tablespoons canola or other neutral oil
2 1/3 pounds boneless pork shoulder, well trimmed (about 2 pounds after trimming) and cut across the grain into strips about 3 inches long, 1 inch wide, and a scant 1/4 inch thick
2/3 pound small dried round rice noodles, cooked in boiling water for 3 to 5 minutes, drained, and flushed with cold water
1 1/2 cups Basic Dipping Sauce made without garlic (page 308)
Vegetable Garnish Plate (page 313), preferably with the addition of red perilla and Vietnamese balm

Steps:

  • To make the marinade, in a mortar, combine the shallot, sugar, and pepper and pound with a pestle until a rough paste forms that is slightly liquid. (Or, use an electric mini-chopper.) Transfer to a bowl and mix in the caramel sauce, fish sauce, and oil. Add the pork and coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours.
  • Thirty minutes before cooking the pork, remove it from the refrigerator. Arrange the noodles on 2 plates for serving. Place on the table with the dipping sauce and the vegetable garnish plate.
  • Prepare a medium-hot charcoal fire (you can hold your hand over the rack for only 3 to 4 seconds) or preheat a gas grill to medium-high. Grill the pork slices, turning once, for about 4 minutes on each side, or until nicely browned, a little charred, and sizzling. Transfer the pork to a plate and place on the table.
  • Each person needs 2 bowls, a small, shallow one and a larger, deeper one. In the small bowl, diners soak a few pieces of the grilled pork in some dipping sauce. They tear lettuce leaves and herbs into small pieces, put them in the large bowl, toss to distribute, and then top with a mound of noodles and the pieces of pork and some of the sauce they soaked in.

FRIED RICE NOODLES WITH SHREDDED PORK AND YELLOW CHIVES



Fried Rice Noodles With Shredded Pork and Yellow Chives image

Delightful noodle dish, light and flavorful. Perfect for lunch or a light dinner. Serves 2 as a single dish or 4 as part of a multi-dish Chinese style meal. Chinese yellow chives are a paler version Chinese green chives that are blocked from the sun while they grow. They are delicate and tender with an earthy taste, and must be cooked immediately after they are picked. Chinese green chives are a good substitute and scallions are acceptable (though they will not have the distinctive garlic taste of Chinese chives); Western chives have a completely different taste and should not be substituted.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use high-quality rice noodles. Look for brands that are made with 100% rice flour and that have a slightly chewy texture.
  • Be sure to soak the rice noodles according to the package directions before cooking them. This will help to soften them and make them more pliable.
  • When searing the pork, be sure to use a well-seasoned pan over high heat. This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the pork while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
  • Add the vegetables to the pan with the pork towards the end of the cooking time. This will help to prevent them from becoming overcooked and mushy.
  • Be generous with the herbs when garnishing the dish. They will add a lot of flavor and freshness.
