Vietnamese Grilled Pork (bun-thit-nuong)

Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds sliced Pork
• 1 package thin Rice Vermicelli
• 4-6 Egg Rolls
• 3 tablespoons minced Challots
• 1.5 tablespoons minced garlic Garlic
• ¼ cup Sugar
• 1 tablespoon Fish Sauce
• ½ tablespoon thick Soy sauce
• ½ tablespoon Pepper
• 3 tablespoons Olive Oil
• Sliced Cucumber
• Leaves Mint
• Crushed Peanuts

Directions

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