Dipping Sauce
- fish sauce aka nước chấm; prepared
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.
