Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 medium carrots, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced crosswise
3 Kirby cucumbers, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced crosswise
1/2 jalapeno pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
1/3 cup rice vinegar (not seasoned)
1 tablespoon fish sauce
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
4 ounces rice vermicelli noodles
1 1/2 pounds boneless center-cut pork chops, trimmed of excess fat
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce, plus more for brushing
2 cups thinly sliced romaine lettuce
1 1/2 cups fresh cilantro, basil and/or mint

Steps:

  • Make the pickled vegetables: Put the carrots, cucumbers and jalapeno in a bowl. Heat the rice vinegar and fish sauce in a saucepan, then pour over the vegetables. Add a pinch each of salt and pepper and set aside, stirring occasionally, while you prepare the noodles and pork.
  • Bring a small pot of water to a boil; remove from the heat, add the noodles and let stand 8 minutes. Drain the noodles and rinse under cold water, then snip into smaller pieces with kitchen shears.
  • Meanwhile, season the pork lightly with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork and cook until just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Brush each chop with hoisin sauce; turn and cook 30 seconds. Brush with more hoisin sauce, turn and cook 30 more seconds. Remove to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes, then thinly slice.
  • Divide the noodles among bowls. Strain the pickled vegetables, reserving the liquid. Stir 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce and the remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil into the reserved liquid; drizzle over the noodles. Top with the pork, pickled vegetables, lettuce and herbs.

This was an easy and delicious recipe. I used ground beef instead of pork and it turned out great.

This was a great recipe! I made it for my friends and they loved it. The noodles were cooked perfectly and the pork was tender and flavorful.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still good. I would recommend using less chili sauce next time.
