Steps:
- Thinly slice the pork into ¼-inch(6 mm) thick slices, then transfer to a medium bowl. (If the pork is difficult to slice, place in the freezer for 20 minutes to firm up).
- Add the Omsom Vietnamese Lemongrass BBQ Starter and toss to coat. Marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature, or refrigerate up to overnight.
- While the pork marinates, make the dipping fish sauce: In a medium bowl, combine the warm water and sugar and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Add the fish sauce and stir to combine. Squeeze in the lime juice, then use a fork to scrape the lime pulp into the bowl (do not scrape the bitter pith). Add the garlic and chile. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Heat 1 tablespoon neutral oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the pork to the pan in a single layer and cook without disturbing until caramelized and beginning to cook through, 4-5 minutes. Toss and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the pork is fully cooked on all sides. Remove the pork from the pan and serve as desired.
- To assemble the vermicelli bowls, divide the rice noodles between 2 bowls and top with the cucumber, bean sprouts, lettuce, and pork. Garnish with cilantro, crushed peanuts, and dipping fish sauce.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Slice pork into long thin slices, less than 1/4" thick.
- Place pork into marinade ingredients and allow to rest at least 2 hours, up to overnight.
- Thread the pork onto bamboo skewers that have soaked in warm water for at least 20-30 minutes.
- Grill over medium-hot coals or heat for about 5 minutes, or until done.
- Alternatively, meat can be cooked in the broiler.
- Serve with Nuac mam (recipe#25375).
Tips:
- Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the pork against the grain. This will help the pork cook evenly and prevent it from becoming tough.
- If you don't have lemongrass, you can substitute another citrusy herb, such as kaffir lime leaves or Thai basil.
- Be careful not to overcook the pork. It should be cooked through but still slightly pink in the center.
- Serve the pork skewers with a dipping sauce, such as nước chấm or a simple mixture of fish sauce, lime juice, and sugar.
Conclusion:
These Vietnamese lemongrass pork skewers are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. The pork is marinated in a flavorful mixture of lemongrass, garlic, and ginger, then grilled to perfection. Serve with a dipping sauce and enjoy!
