For the Grilled Pork
- 1-2 pounds pork shoulder or pork butt thinly sliced against the grain
- 3 tablespoons minced lemongrass stems
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic clove
- 1 tablespoon minced shallot
- 2 teaspoons black or white pepper
- 1 tablespoon brown or granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon chicken bouillon powder
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 teaspoons Chinese five spice seasoning
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 2 Thai chili peppers (optional)
For the Noodle Bowl

- nuoc cham (fish sauce)
Instructions
- Marinate the Pork – Finely mince shallots, garlic, and lemongrass. Thinly slice the pork against the grain. In a large bowl, mix the aromatics with pepper, brown sugar, bouillon powder, five-spice, oyster sauce, fish sauce, honey, and avocado oil. Toss the pork in the marinade and let it sit for at least 30 minutes (for best flavor, marinate 4 hours or overnight).
Bake or Grill the Pork
- Oven Method: Preheat to 400°F. Thread pork onto skewers and rest them across a baking tray so they’re lifted for even heat circulation. Bake for 10-15 minutes until cooked through.Grill Method: Preheat grill to medium-high heat, lightly oil the grates, and cook skewers for 3-5 minutes per side until charred and fully cooked.
- Prepare the Vermicelli – Cook noodles according to package instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking and prevent sticking.
- Assemble the Bowls – Divide vermicelli into bowls, top with grilled pork, and arrange lettuce, bean sprouts, sliced cucumber, and fresh herbs around the edges.
- Serve & Enjoy – Drizzle generously with nuoc cham and dig in.
