VIETNAMESE GRILLED PORK AND RICE VERMICELLI NOODLE BOWL



Vietnamese Grilled Pork and Rice Vermicelli Noodle Bowl image

You usually think about pho when going to a Vietnamese restaurant, but it's time to graduate to bun! Bun is a type of noodles, made of rice like pho but thinner and springier. They are cooked, chilled and then used as a base for cold noodle bowls. My favorite protein to top these bowls with is this delicious sweet, smoky lemongrass pork. I love cooking this on a hot griddle to get a great sear.

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) lime juice
1/4 cup (60 milliliters) fish sauce
1/4 cup (60 milliliters) water
1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) rice vinegar
1/4 cup (50 grams) sugar
1 garlic clove, minced
1 Thai chili, finely chopped
1 large or 2 medium shallots, sliced thin
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon (30 grams) minced lemongrass
2 tablespoons (30 grams) water
3 tablespoons (45 grams) granulated sugar
3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) fish sauce
Heavy pinch black pepper
1 pound (450 grams) pork butt, sliced paper-thin against the grain (see Cook's Note)
2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) vegetable oil
8 ounces (240 grams) Vietnamese thin rice sticks (bun)
1/2 cup (95 grams) shredded daikon radish
1/2 cup (95 grams) shredded carrot
3 tablespoons (45 grams) coarsely chopped roasted peanuts
3 scallions, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • For the dipping sauce: Combine all the sauce ingredients and stir to dissolve the sugar completely. Set aside.
  • For the pork: Combine all of the marinade ingredients in a blender; puree about 20 seconds until smooth. Place the pork in a medium bowl, pour the marinade over the meat and massage the pork well. Marinate for at least 1 hour if time allows. Heat a grill pan, medium skillet or griddle to high and add the oil. When you see white wisps of smoke, saute the pork for about 5 minutes until cooked through.
  • For the noodles: Soak the rice sticks in warm water for 20 minutes. Drain, then boil the soaked rice sticks in 3 quarts (2.8 liters) of water in a 4-quart (3.8-liter) pot for about 12 minutes until al dente. Rinse them well under cold water in a fine mesh strainer and reserve.
  • Assembly: Divide the noodles into 4 separate bowls. Place the pork on top of the noodles. Sprinkle the pork with radish, carrot, roasted peanuts and scallions. Pour Nuoc Cham Sauce over the noodles and mix them well like a salad.

Hubby and I go grocery shopping only once a week because of the stay-at-home order due to the Coronavirus. We got lucky and found a 25-pound pork shoulder roast for $0.59 per pound! Though it's only the 2 of us at home, we could not pass up such a great bargain. We cut the roast up into 2-pound chunks and individually vacuum packed them with our FoodSaver. I made this with items in my pantry and it is filling and delicious.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality pork: Opt for pork shoulder, loin, or tenderloin for a tender and flavorful dish.
  • Marinate the pork: Marinating the pork tenderizes it and infuses it with flavor. Use a flavorful marinade with soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and spices.
  • Cook the pork correctly: Cook the pork until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or 160°F (71°C) for medium.
  • Use high-quality rice: Choose a long-grain rice like basmati or jasmine for a fluffy and flavorful result.
  • Cook the rice properly: Rinse the rice before cooking to remove excess starch. Use the correct ratio of rice to water (1:2 for long-grain rice).
  • Add aromatics to the rice: Enhance the flavor of the rice by adding aromatics like garlic, ginger, shallots, or lemongrass while cooking.
  • Serve the pork and rice with flavorful toppings: Top the pork and rice with a variety of flavorful toppings like scallions, cilantro, peanuts, or a flavorful sauce.

Pork and rice is a classic dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. With the right ingredients and techniques, you can create a flavorful and satisfying meal that the whole family will love.
