BUN THIT NUONG (GRILLED PORK AND VERMICELLI SALAD)



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.

Provided by Spectatrix

Categories     One Dish Meal

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!).

FIVE SPICE CHICKEN WITH VERMICELLI NOODLE SALAD



FIVE SPICE CHICKEN WITH VERMICELLI NOODLE SALAD image

Categories     Chicken     Pasta

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 23

Chicken
1 package boneless skinless chicken thighs, about 2 lbs
2 tablespoons Chinese five spice
2 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons salt
1 lime
1 tablespoon chopped peanuts
Dressing
3 tablespoons fish sauce
juice of 1 small lime
3 tablespoons water
1½ tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, melted
white of 1 spring onion, sliced
2 dry red peppers, minced
Salad
7 oz package vermicelli noodles, prepared according to package directions
1 cucumber, peeled, deseeded and sliced
2 medium carrots, julienne
¼ cup peanuts, chopped
green onion, garnish
cilantro, garnish
thai basil, garnish

Steps:

  • Heat a grill skillet or heavy bottom skillet over medium-high heat. Brush with vegetable oil. Toss chicken thighs with Chinese five spice and salt. Place on the hot grill pan, turning after 3 or 4 minutes, until nicely charred and cooked through. Be careful not to crowd the pan. If pan is too small you may need to cook in batches. Drizzle the honey over the chicken, squeeze over the juice of 1 lime. Cook another 1 - 2 minutes to allow honey to melt and lime to reduce. Sprinkle with the chopped peanuts, set aside. Combine all dressing ingredients and whisk until well combined. Combine all salad ingredients and toss with dressing. Garnish with green onion, cilantro and/or thai basil. Slice chicken and serve with noodle salad. Notes Make-Ahead: The chicken can be served warm over the noodles or chilled. Which also makes it a great make-ahead meal. Refrigerate the chicken, noodles and dressing separately. When the noodles are tossed with dressing they will loosen. Topped with sliced chilled chicken

RICE VERMICELLI SALAD WITH GRILLED PORK AND SPRING ROLLS



Rice Vermicelli Salad With Grilled Pork and Spring Rolls image

While living in Colorado, I worked for an all Vietnamese company that made wreaths and wall decorations out of red river birch and white willow twigs as their office manager. I worked there for 10 years and became very close to the people that I worked with. Often the owner of the company would treat me to lunch from his favorite Vietnamese restaurant. I always requested this dish. He once told me the name of it but darned if I could ever understand what he was saying, let alone how to spell it. Anyway, I just had to recreate this wonderful Vietnamese dish from memory because I have missed it so much. Here is what I have come up with.
