Instructions

  1. Marinate the pork
    In a large bowl, combine the sliced pork with minced lemongrass, garlic, fish sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, and vegetable oil. Mix well to coat the meat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably 3-4 hours.
  2. Prepare the noodles
    Cook the rice vermicelli noodles according to package instructions, usually by soaking in hot water for 5-10 minutes until soft but still slightly chewy. Drain well, rinse under cold water, and set aside to cool completely.
  3. Grill the pork
    Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Remove the pork from the marinade and grill for 2-3 minutes per side until nicely charred and cooked through. Set aside to rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
  4. Prepare the vegetables
    While the pork is grilling, prepare the vegetables. Wash and dry the lettuce before shredding. Julienne the cucumber. Rinse the bean sprouts. Arrange all vegetables on a serving platter.
  5. Assemble the bowls
    Divide the cooled rice noodles among 4 serving bowls. Arrange the shredded lettuce, cucumber, bean sprouts, and pickled vegetables around the noodles. Top with the grilled pork slices.
  6. Add the finishing touches
    Sprinkle each bowl with fresh herbs and crushed peanuts. Serve the Vietnamese dipping sauce (nước chấm) on the side or drizzle over the top according to preference.
