Vietnamese Style Fried Rice Food

VIETNAMESE FRIED RICE (COM CHIEN)

Steps:

• Heat a wok over medium-high heat and add in one tablespoon of oil.
• Add shrimp, stirring one to three minutes or until cooked through. Remove from wok and set aside. Increase heat to high.
• Add onion and cook for one minute.
• Add sausage. Cook and stir for three minutes.
• Add garlic and cook for one minute.
• Add veggies and cook for two minutes (if still frozen, three to four minutes to cook off excess water)
• Add the rice and mix with the veggies. Continue mixing until rice is broken down with no lumps.
• Add shrimp back in and season with salt, sugar, chicken powder, and white pepper. Mix together well.
• Push rice to the side and add in the remaining tablespoon of oil. Add the eggs. Stir them until they're half cooked (they should still be mostly liquid with bits of cooked egg), then quickly stir in the rest of the food. Continue to stir for a minute, the egg will continue to cook as it's coating the rice mixture.
• Remove from heat and stir in the fish sauce, if using. Taste and add extra seasoning if necessary.
• Enjoy!

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.
