Let's make it.

4 steps
  1. Make the dipping sauce

    Mix fish sauce, sugar, lime juice, minced garlic, chili and warm water. Adjust to taste — it should be strong because it seasons the noodles.

    5 min

  2. Marinate & form patties

    Mix ground pork with fish sauce, sugar, pepper, garlic and shallots. Form into small patties. Marinate belly slices separately.

    15 min

  3. Grill the pork

    Grill patties and pork belly over high heat (charcoal best) until nicely charred and cooked through.

    12 min

  4. Assemble bowls

    Cook and rinse vermicelli. In each bowl add noodles, herbs, sprouts, grilled pork. Pour a generous amount of dipping sauce over everything. Eat with extra herbs on the side.
