Ingredients
- ½ small onion minced
- 1 head garlic minced
- ¼ cup sugar
- 2½ tbsp fish sauce
- 2½ tbsp soy sauce low sodium
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp lemongrass paste
- 1 lb pork shoulder sliced
- non-stick spray
To Serve
- 150-200 grams rice noodles
- Pickled Carrots
- cucumbers sliced
- crushed peanuts
- green onions
Instructions
- Mix together the onion, garlic, sugar, fish suace, soy sauce, olive oil, and lemongrass paste.
- Add the mixture to the sliced pork shoulder and marinate it in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- While the pork is marinating, soak the skewers.
- Heat the oven to 400F.
- Spray a sheet pan with non-stick and then skewer the pork slices on the skewers. Place the skewers onto the sheet pan and bake for 15 minutes, flipping at the halfway mark.
- While the pork is cooking, bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the rice noodles according to the package’s direction.
- When the pork has finished baking, broil for 2 to 3 minutes. Keep an eye on the pork as you want it to get lightly charred but not burnt.
- Serve the pork on top of the noodles, sliced cucumbers, and pickled carrots. Garnish with crushed peanuts and green onions if desired.

Notes
- This grilled pork noodle recipe can be cooked on the grill in less time. Grill the pork uncovered and keep rotating it to prevent the pork from charring too much on one side. You can skip the skewers and use a grilling basket if you’re worried the pork is too thin to grill without burning.
