VIETNAMESE GRILLED PORK AND RICE VERMICELLI NOODLE BOWL

Steps:

• For the dipping sauce: Combine all the sauce ingredients and stir to dissolve the sugar completely. Set aside.
• For the pork: Combine all of the marinade ingredients in a blender; puree about 20 seconds until smooth. Place the pork in a medium bowl, pour the marinade over the meat and massage the pork well. Marinate for at least 1 hour if time allows. Heat a grill pan, medium skillet or griddle to high and add the oil. When you see white wisps of smoke, saute the pork for about 5 minutes until cooked through.
• For the noodles: Soak the rice sticks in warm water for 20 minutes. Drain, then boil the soaked rice sticks in 3 quarts (2.8 liters) of water in a 4-quart (3.8-liter) pot for about 12 minutes until al dente. Rinse them well under cold water in a fine mesh strainer and reserve.
• Assembly: Divide the noodles into 4 separate bowls. Place the pork on top of the noodles. Sprinkle the pork with radish, carrot, roasted peanuts and scallions. Pour Nuoc Cham Sauce over the noodles and mix them well like a salad.

BúN THịT NướNG RECIPE (VIETNAMESE GRILLED PORK & RICE NOODLES)

Steps:

• Slice the uncooked pork thinly, about 1/8". It helps to slightly freeze it beforehand.
• Mince garlic and shallots. Mix in a bowl with sugar, fish sauce, thick soy sauce, pepper, and oil until sugar dissolves.
• Marinate the meat for 1 hour, or overnight for better results.
• Bake the pork at 375 F for 10-15 minutes or until about 80% cooked. Finish cooking by broiling in the oven until a nice golden brown color develops, flipping the pieces midway. Don't take your eyes off the broiler!
• Assemble your bowl with veggies, noodles, and garnish. Many like to mix the whole bowl up and pour the fish sauce on top, but I like to make individual bites and sauce it slowly.

VIETNAMESE NOODLE SALAD WITH GRILLED PORK

Steps:

• Bring a medium potful of water to a rolling boil. Add the rice vermicelli and, stirring often, cook them until the strands are soft and white, but still resilient, 3 to 5 minutes. Don't be tempted to undercook them, as they must be fully cooked to absorb the flavors of the dish. Rinse them in a colander under cold water just until they're cool and the water runs clear. Let the noodles drain in the colander for 30 minutes, and then set them aside for up to 2 hours, unrefrigerated.
• Combine the sugar with 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Stir a few times and allow to simmer until the sauce turns deep brown, about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, have some extra hot water ready on a back burner. Once the sauce reaches the desired color, carefully add 4 to 5 Tbs. hot water to slow the cooking and thin the sauce. (Be sure to hold the pan away from you so that none of the hot caramel splatters on you when you add the water.) If necessary, add more hot water. The sauce should only be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Set aside to cool.
• Pound the shallots in a mortar and pestle or mince by hand. Transfer the shallots to a mixing bowl and combine with the fish sauce, soy sauce, salt, vegetable oil, and cooled caramel marinade. Stir well to blend. Add the pork slices and let marinate for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, heat a broiler or light a charcoal or gas grill. When the broiler or fire is very hot, cook the pork until just done, about 2 minutes on each side. Let the pork rest for 10 to 15 minutes, and cut into thin strips.
• Divide the lettuce, bean sprouts, cucumber, mint, and basil among four large soup or pasta bowls. Fluff the noodles with your fingers and divide them among the prepared salad bowls. Put the grilled pork on the noodles and garnish each bowl with the peanuts and cilantro. Pass the nuoc cham at the table; each diner should drizzle about 3 Tbs. over the salad and then toss the salad in the bowl a few times with two forks or chopsticks before eating.

GRILLED THAI STEAK NOODLE BOWL

Steps:

• To make dressing, combine fish sauce, lime juice, water, sugar, garlic, shallot and ginger in a small bowl and stir until sugar dissolves. Put steak in a shallow bowl, pour in 1/4 cup of dressing and marinate 15 to 20 minutes.
• Cook noodles according to package directions.
• Preheat grill for high heat. Lift steak from marinade, pat dry and grill for 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing it into very thin strips.
• To serve, tear lettuce into the bottom of 4 bowls. Add noodles and add carrots, cucumber, cilantro and mint. Top with steak and dressing. Add a splash of Sriricha, if using.

GRILLED THAI PORK TENDERLOIN WITH SOBA NOODLE SALAD

Steps:

• Combine the chili sauce, vinegar, coconut milk, sugar, garlic, ginger, peanut butter, soy sauce and lime juice in a bowl, whisking to combine. Place the pork tenderloin in a resealable plastic bag or in a baking dish. Cover with half of the sauce, tossing to coat. Marinate the pork in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or even overnight.
• Place the remaining sauce in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, the reduce to a simmer and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until slightly thickened. You can do this and store it in the fridge, or heat it and serve right before you eat.
• Preheat your grill to medium-high heat - ideally we want the temperature to be around 500 degrees F. Let the grill heat for at least 15 minutes.
• While the grill is heating, I like to bring the water to a boil for my soba noodles. Cook them according to the directions on the package. After cooking, be sure to rinse them with cold water so they don't stick together.
• To make the soba noodle salad, toss the soba noodles with a few tablespoons of the remaining peanut sauce mixture. You can use as much as you like - you can even use all of it if you wish. Toss the arugula microgreens, carrots, peppers, cucumbers and cilantro in with the noodles. Taste the noodles and see if they need any more seasoning - if they do, add a sprinkle of salt and pepper. As a note, I like to assemble this salad while the pork tenderloin is on the grill.
• To grill the pork, remove the tenderloin from the marinade, allowing the marinade to drip off as much as it can. Place the tenderloin on the grill. You want to cook it for 20 to 25 minutes total. I turned it after 8 minutes, then turned it after 8 minutes again. You want the inside temperature to be 140-145 degrees F. Make sure to go by what the thermometer says, because the heat on every grill can differ!
• Once the tenderloin is finished, place it on a sheet pan or dish and let it rest for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, slice it.
• Garnish your soba noodle salad with another drizzle of peanut sauce if you have some left, a sprinkle of peanuts, more cilantro if you want and the sliced hot peppers.
• I like to serve this by placing the pork tenderloin on top of the soba noodle salad. I think it makes for the prettiest presentation! But you can serve them separately as well. My preference is to serve the soba noodles cold (or, at least, cool) and the tenderloin warm. The combination is amazing! You can serve them both cold or hot, whichever you prefer. Serve with lime wedges for spritzing!
