Steps:

- While meat is marinading, mix nuoc mam ingredients together, stirring until sugar is completely dissolved. Set aside.

- 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
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
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.
