Bún Thit Nuóng Recipe
Bún Thit Nuóng
Vietnamese Grilled Pork & Rice Noodles
Absolutely delicious, fresh, and clean tasting these bowls are always a crowd-pleaser. People can build their own right there at the table and other than a little bit of prep cutting up the veggies and marinating the meat (which can be done ahead of time) these bowls come together in a flash.
I use the recipe by Huy Vu as my guide for making this dish. He does an amazing job going through the details of how to cook this dish, head to his website to learn about his process. I do take some liberties with the recipe adapting it to what I have access to, or what is currently growing in the garden - but I have never been displeased by the results.
