Steps:
- Slice the uncooked pork thinly, about 1/8". It helps to slightly freeze it beforehand.
- Mince garlic and shallots. Mix in a bowl with sugar, fish sauce, thick soy sauce, pepper, and oil until sugar dissolves.
- Marinate the meat for 1 hour, or overnight for better results.
- Bake the pork at 375 F 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. Don't take your eyes off the broiler!
- 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.

Steps:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the spring onions, garlic chives, shallots, garlic, black pepper, fish sauce and soy sauce.
- In separate bowl, combine half the marinade, minced pork, and egg and mix well.
- Add the sliced pork belly to the remaining marinade. Cover and marinate both meats in the refrigerator for 2 hours, or overnight for a better result.
- Form the pork mixture into small round balls with oiled hands, then slightly press down on each ball to form patties, about 2 inches/5 cm in diameter and 1/2-inch/ 1 cm thick.
- Heat a charcoal grill or barbecue to medium-high and grill the patties for 4 minutes on each side. Grill the pork belly for 2 minutes on each side or until brown.
- Place the noodles, herbs and patties on three separate platters.
- Transfer to 4 to 6 dipping bowls.
- For the dipping sauce: Add fish sauce, vinegar, sugar and water to a saucepan. Mix, then bring to the boil. Transfer to a dipping bowl and add chile, garlic and lime juice.
Tips:
- Choose the right cut of pork: For this recipe, pork neck or boston butt is the best choice. It's a fatty cut of meat that will stay moist and tender when grilled.
- Marinate the pork: Marinating the pork in a mixture of soy sauce, fish sauce, garlic, and lemongrass will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
- Grill the pork over medium heat: This will help to prevent the pork from drying out. Cook the pork until it is cooked through, but still slightly pink in the center.
- Make the vermicelli noodles: Vermicelli noodles are a thin, rice noodle that is often used in Vietnamese dishes. To make the noodles, simply soak them in hot water for a few minutes, then drain and rinse them.
- Assemble the bun cha: To assemble the bun cha, place the noodles, grilled pork, pickled vegetables, and herbs on a plate. Serve with the dipping sauce on the side.
Conclusion:
Bun cha is a delicious and flavorful Vietnamese dish that is perfect for a summer cookout. The grilled pork is tender and juicy, the noodles are light and refreshing, and the pickled vegetables add a nice tang. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
