Bun Thit Nuong (Grilled Pork and Vermicelli Salad) image

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.

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!).
