Bún Thịt Nướng Recipe (Vietnamese Grilled Pork & Rice Noodles)
Description
Bún Thịt Nướng consists of sliced pork shoulder thinly cut and marinated with a blend of minced shallots, garlic, sugar, fish sauce, thick soy sauce, black pepper, and cooking oil. The marinated meat is baked and then broiled to achieve a golden-brown color, developing caramelized edges. Rice noodles provide a tender base layered with fresh green leaf lettuce, Vietnamese herbs including mint, perilla, and balm, and crisp cucumber slices. Pickled carrots and daikon add acidity and crunch.
Flavored with a prepared fish sauce dipping sauce, the dish balances savory, sweet, and sour notes while combining grilled meat with fresh herbs and pickled vegetables. It is served as a composed bowl, where diners can mix ingredients or enjoy bites separately.

Dipping Sauce

Instructions
- 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.
